A RELIEF.
We believe the public may be relieved from any apprehension on account of the appointment of Mr. Stanly to a station in Tip's cabinet; the statement to that effect being a mere rumor, originating, probably, with Mr. S. or his friends. If Gen. Harrison is desirous of showing his gratitude to North Carolina, there are a number of men whose talents and character would certainly not disgrace the State and the Union—such are Gaston, D. Cameron, D. L. Swain, John Owen, and others. No party in North Carolina is so destitute of proper materials as to stoop to such a vile necessity as that hinted at above.
