This body assembled in this City the 7th
and adjourned on the sth. Instant. Its officers
were, for The most part, Of the rankest Federal
stamp and its speakers were of the number OF
those who fSase long been in the habit of giving
party lar to the Federalists Of North Carolina
That secret division-that mutual distrust and af-
Ected coBtempt-thaa alienation of feeling existed
both in the General Committee and in open Con-
reptisns il were worse thfn Idle to deny. What
else, indeed, could haEe been expected in an as
srunbtage made UP of so many discerdaat elements,
and so completely charged with the IgEHpo.edcr
feelings of personal and SECTIONAL ambifion2 The
claims of at least twenty uspirants ia Gubernatori-
al hoRers had to be reconcilca: Pelhieal issues,
which many Of thpm misunderstood, and which
others qrOstd not understand blr for themselves,
and in their own way, had to be made up and
presented for the whole party; Mfr. Badger was
to be bo@ed TO, and yet resisted; and under these
circumstances and various others-PTegath"t ones,

harmonze, ana here they did meet and harmo;
nize and the result of that harmony has been
~ rqan-sU0rsEip of the most odious and degrading
character.


The Hon. William A. Graham, Of Orange
County, was nominated for Governor, and hIcssIs
Badger aad Dudley were appointed State Dele
gates to the National Convention. The Register
says these delegates are ardent and uncompro-
missing friends of Mr. Clay" Yes, and fesy
years ago they were ardent and uncQmprenisiag"
enemies ofthe same Mr. Clay; and the very same
Mr.. Badgervas foremost and successful In estab-
fishing against Mr. Clay the charge of black bar
gain and corruption" in 1924 Will Mr.. Badger
be kind enough, some day when he is in q good
humor, to intimate to US the spot where we can
find the'pamphlct which contains and sustains this
c&large?


The Resolutions adopted by the Convention are
very far from meeting, in liberal and ingenious
spirit, the great political issues of the day. We
shall take them up at the proper time, and with
them the pretensions of the nominees of the Con
Vention-
