It is not easy to conceive how any man can snppose that a candidate can get a decent tot when nobody, of next to nobody, can hm tnnnA vba ia willhw to avow that he means to vote for him.-. No doubt Mr, Holdeu has-here and there a friend or admirer, and no doubt be. will get a lew thousand votes; but to expect a respectable vote for a man whom even his friends are ashamed openly to advocate, ia. unreasonable. ; Helnay get the secret votes of the members. of the secret trea sonable association, the H.-0.'AV who probably number several hundred in the State, and he will get all the deserters who may be bold enough to venture out of the woods to vote, and he will get some votes from credulous people who rely upon cunning words rather than, honest acts, who are silly enough to suppose that Holden can do anything to promote peace,' when it is apparent that his whole course has encouraged the yankees to; prolong "the "war, which Ae,' more "than -any other maalzrNorth Carolina, . . rrr - x 1 1 m 11 1 rv I nrougni upon us. i no-great iwuj w po avaaiuie peopleand especially of. the honest people, are against him. No 'surer evidence of that need be brought forward. than, this: that candidates in nearly every part of tbe State, however much they may at some time or other have leaned to Holdeuism, are coming oat against him.'-' The- onvictions of. some of "thfm are no doabV against him and fin favor of Gov. Tanee. -r Others manifestly discovered that the people were so ' thoroughly ia fsvor of Vance that they stood' nd chance to be elected unless they came out for him;' Such is apparently the case, mentioned in a letter from Stanly county, of 'which the follow ing is an extract: , 7; t - I"-.-, --Vfcaoe will carry the County at least two to one. Our old Commoner Greene, whom you classed as a Holdenite and wha failed to votfor the resolutions endorsing Gov. Vance, has come out squarely for Vanoe. We have two running for the Commons, balk for Ve w - Now here is V member of the tale House of Com mons 'so friendly to Holden that, though he did not vote with the three Holdenites against the resolu tion .applauding Gov. Vance's Administration, yet would not vote or the resolution. - He was from a county that gave 551 Votes for Christian (Holden. he) to 1S5 for Ashe. Yet even he, carefully noting the signs of the times, appeals to the people of Stan ly to re-elect him on the ground that he is 'for Got. Vance. This fact clearly indicates the current of public opinion. ' And there are other counties and other candidates in the same condition as S(anly and Mr. Greene. Look at the account given us by a most respectable citizen of Richmond county of the discussion in that county. Mark the abase of Hol den by OoL O. H. Dockery and his father. Gen. Dockery, both known friends and correspondents of the said "unscrupulous partisan, who had "out-lied them all. What does all this mean! , Why that Holden is so unpopular, that as their only hope of success his friends urn in and abuse him as an un scrupulous partisan and a liar par excellence.' ' The demagogue is getting his desert. It only remains for the people, on Thursday ' next, to con sign him to the place appropriate for such a man as CoL Dockery and Gen. Dockery hit friend describe. The ill temper displayed in his last Stand ard is a sign that he knows . what his fate will be. His efforts to deceive the people into the belief that he will be elected have not deceived himself.

This is -well said.. Bat if the.

Thry have all "tried" to promote the interest of the Oeniederacy, to conduct the war to a saccrssful result, sud to secure our independence; why shoulaflot we all, including t Mercury, "help them in trying! Their positions are filled with dif ficulties, and those difficulties have been increased by the bitter opposition ol the Mercury. They have tax ed to.the uttermost their energies and wisdom, and so far from' being- inadequate, it ia Wonderful to what a degree ths Ara succeeded.- xi.taey taU. u win because of the disaffection predacjd by the Claries- ton Mercury, the Raleigh Standard, and anch'papers which refused to "help them In trying.".

On Mon day last we published 'a dispatch from Richmond giving an account of a correspondence between Clay, Holcombe and Sanders, and Horace Greeley, in relation to negotiations for peace, showing that Lin coln said.

It copied from the Raleigh papers of that 'morning all the telegraphic dispatches except that one and an other riving an account of. dissensions in Lincoln's viaoinet. j ; - . i Now there was a purpose in this suppression of an important fact. What was it? Evidently, to keep up the delusion which the Standard has been labor ing to prodnce, that the Confederate authorities were not making efforts to bring about negotiations, . Woasa axo Wo ass Forging an "extract" from the Journals of the Legislature waa bad, even for Mr. Holden. Palming off some caadidata's adver tisement in the Observer as an editorial notice ia the Observer was' a little worse. Bat Mr. Holden iar passes these performances by perpetrating in the last Standard a fraud lower and meaner still.' Ue copies one paragraph of a brief article in the Ob server' of the 21st inst ia relation to Mr. Holden 's "bad investment" of money and labor in sapplying some Harnett free negroes with tickets and circulars, and thed abuses us through nearly a column for hav ing endeavored to make people believe that he was in correspondence with free negroes to aid his elec tion! If Mr. Holdsn had copied instead of carefully omitting the very brief second paragraph, he might have saved all the space devoted to abuse of us, aad saved himself at the sams time from the sin of sun dry wicked and wilful and malicious slanders. Though we knew nothing whatever of the spatter, er ewn Vpiaion,was then expressed that Mr. Hold n had been fooled by aomebrdy into this waste of his time aad ffjoney? and we -did so because our oorrespov dents evidently entertained a different opinion- Tkey thought that Mr. Holden had done something very wrong in fact and , in parpoje. We corrected that impression while we could but tell aad enjoy the joke. ' And the- man who is guilty of such brands aa this asks the people of North Carolina to make hint their Governor! Seriously we ask the pardon of the two negroes in Harnett for associating their names with his. Some bad free negroes have given a bad name to tha whole class, and these may beas bad as any.
