In taking the side of ib -Convention Candidates !
, . ,. . . . . I
we des ix. i in.ikinc no distinction iietween the sen-!
'
urate interests interwoven in the claims of those
genllein. n and their oppoiKnts.
With the local questions in the County of liar- ry produced by his neglect and whether the j is thc lcu?t Part of 3"cur mortification, your defeat is

iietion in the support of the nominees. We espouse J vvel 1 acquainted with the ues made of the liver J liams has been imposed upon is as evident as is his
no side involvhiir our nrriudies; we take no crr.mi, I
we hold no po,ition upon any question disturbing
.the harmony of the citizens of ur sister County.
We know that in common with Mr Peerram
nd
others, we gave our pledge to support the nomi
nees of the May Conv-jni ion. We know the gen
tlemen from Harnett in attendance upon that con
vention, represented various interests in their coun
ty, and wiih.iui any concert on the part of Cr.'.n-
'oerlniid, duly considered their wants and wishes,
.anil ir.ude their selections. We 1. now thut in good
faii.li w-t are eomnuiled to their support.
In opposing -th" election if Col. Murchison, and
Mr Williams, we ntf.ke no other issue save the one
nfor.-ing' the sj.M'ei r c'l- Ir.t of the Convention
t can did a I es.
AVe
ire charged with takirs sides on the Harnett
questions, an
ml why, in what manner and by what
Means have we identified ourselves with these vexed
rli-B'erenos.' We deny the cherge, and declare
rmphatically. that we have no partialities, no lean
ings. n preft rtMiees, in the premises. We decline
to publish articles and circulars ,-igaTnst the Con
vention, because we. are pledged to its support and
to the support f its nominees. We decline to
pu'di.-h the card of Mr Pegram and others, because
it repudiates the nomination; and we take ground
against Mr Pegram for this reason.
Jf Col. Murchison and Mr Williams had been
the fn. venion Candidates, and Mr Harrington and
Air l$.arbeS hr. d opposed them, we should have
used all oeir power i-i common fairness to have de
feated thf. ial'.er. W" stand aloof from the unhap
py ditTereuces which hav." divided and vexed our
young sister so long, and we have no question to
put to any gentlemen frojji that county, and no rule
by which to measure bis party standing except the
afe standard rule of respect for Conventions.
It i die interest of the democratic party we have
sit heart, and which is best served by preserving its
organization and tustuitiing its Conventional au
thority, ne is contingent upon the other, and in
this mutest jl3 integrity of the party is staked upon
the issue..
It is understood plainly then why we so strenu
ously oppose Co?. Murchison and Mr Williams, and
whv we adveca.e the (lection of Messrs Harring
ton and Barber. We b !ievc they are. better demo
crats, and waiving their local acuities, we believe
theyr are safer representatives to semd to a deaio
cratic hgislatJire, becsjuse the others declare their
open conK-mpt for Couventions, and because they
are not acting in god faith towards the party.
It could not be the intention of Mr Pegram and
Mr Cofield to dispute the authority and propriety
of Conventions, they have been th-e agent of such
too often, they have proved in themselves that
the success of party was contained therein, and in
the important and very respectable one held in
May, I think gave, evidence in their own persons
as delegates, to its legitimacy and genuineness.
We hope for the reasons given that w-e may be
excused for declining to insert the card of the re
respectable gentlemen from Hurnett, and deeply
regret that unfortunate differences exist, that will
deprive the nominees of their co-operation and
support. AVe do not impugn the political integrity
or faith of those gentlemen. The Carolinian has
supported both Mr Pegram and Mr Cofield, as
nominees of the party, and would support them
now under sueh auspices, and will support them
hereafter, if nominated, lint as democrats they
jnust see that our duty is to sustain the Convention
And its Candidates.
Jfe commend the strait-forwardness of the cir
cular except in oue particular, where it very
adroitly gives no name to the "great scheme" in
volving our tdiief interests and "overlooked by
the Charlotte Convention."
AVe are afraid from Col. Murchison's antece
dents that this "great scheme" does not contem
plate the peculiar interests of Fayetteville, or lends
any color of confidence to the card of the latter in '
4iUiroujciiiy hid itttt'tttiiw to the t-ople of Cvai-
berland.- Our suspicions have painful confirmation
in the fact that he lias taken the manasc'im ht ' ofl
two great ''schemes" which prevents him from be
ing a faithful representative of either interest, and
impair the confidence of honest men in his true
designs.
We are glad to remark that no allusion is made
to that incendiary document put in circulation from
this place, and claiming falsely to have authentici
ty in a portion of the democracy. It is neither
mentioned or owned, endorsed or comment, ed in
the address from Harnett, hut in direct contra
diction to its general import, accords to the Con
vention, respectability and a lawful origin.
We submit, from a correspondent a fw hints
which the Col. may rest assured comefrom a man
who knows him. If they will recommend the Can
didate from Harnett they are :n good time:
Editor of the Carolinian:
In your paper of the l?th inst. a card
from Col. Alex. Murchison arteareil. t:it:irr
that he had determined to become a candidate
for the Commons in the State Legislature and
if elected would exert his utmost ability to
procure State aid for the West'n : ail Road,
also that his political sentiments were well
known to the people, &.,
Now sir, can you inform the readers of your
paper who the Col. means by "the people". Is
it the Democratic party, or the opposition?
If the former, whether many of them do not
know that he opposed the nominees of their
convention of ISoG did not support them?
If the latter, whether they do not know that he
was with them in council and support, whether
he was in full membership with the opposition
or only allowed the privileges of a member lor
meritorious services?
Whether trie said Col. previous to his last
election to the .Senate and after the evil effects
of the work on the Cape Fear River had begun
to be felt and disapprobation of it expressed
by the people, did not pledge himself to them.
that if elected, lie would not vote for "one red
cent'' to be applied to that wot k and whether
he did not vote for an appropriation of $80. 000
for it, and whether he was not made President
of the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation
Co. as a reward for his services, whether the
money so appropriated was applied by the Cj.
as required by t lie act of a ppronriation and
whether it was not misapplied under the admin
istration of the said Col. and spent where it
was designed it should be, so as the friends of
the Preideut might partake of its benefits, and
whether by so doing, he did not violate a
pledge voluntarily7 marie to his constituents ai:d

'This gentleman has declared his intention to

and really. He announces hniself as follows.
TO THE FREEMEN OF CUMBERLAND
AND HARNETT.
Fellow Citizens:
From the recent developments relative to
the late Democratic Convention, and the stren
uously continued solicitations of a large num
ber of the citizens of Cumberland "d Harnett
Counties, I have concluded unequivocally to
announce myself a candidate for the House of
Commons of the next Legislature. If, in res
ponse to this announcement, you should honor
me with a majority of your votes, I assure you,
in the capacity of your Legislator, 1 will al
ways look to your interest first.
JNO. C WILLIAMS.
Julv 26th, 1853.
The high rank which Mr Williams has hitherto
j ,ie1,1 in lJiC democratic party, aggravates the insult
i put upon them 1
this announcement especially
when it discloses so pointedly the influence to which
he has yielded.
'Recent developments." And what are they?
Handbill statements from a source demonstrating
their falsity, and compounded for the purpose of
dividing the party. Petty quarrels distracting and
alienating political friends, and disorganizing influ
ences, engendered by a factious nppositon. These
are the "developements" which invite Mr Williams
to hurl another fire-brand, and warrant him to seek
promotion m the common disorder. A true friend
to the democracy would have interposed himself as a
shield; would have repelled the insidious attacks up
on the party organization; would have trampled un-
'r fot the incendiary who planed its injury. But
what indulgence is due to Mr Williams? He suffers
himself to be the instrument of an individual who
is prof fesscdly an enemy to the success of the party
and who is looking far beyond him for the attain
ment of his object. Mr Williams we learn concedes
to no man the right to interogate Lim, except the
one who invited him out Well, if any one individu
al has assumed a superior right to nominate candi
dates and put them in the lit Id in opposition to the
convention, the democracy will hardly recognize
such a prerogative, or respect the person who ac
cfpts such a nomination. This is the attitude ol
the new- candidate, who at this late hour is apprised
of developements" reflecting upon the convention.
We have a petition before us from Harnett de
claring for Col Murchison and which professes to
be the sentiment of "one half at least" of that coun
ty, it is lair to suppose that the other half want
Harrington and 13arbee; now wdiereis Mr TUlliams'

who urged him so "stre nuously.' Not in Cumber

declaring that the Editor required more than is
usual of Correspondents.
Our reason for not publishing the card will be
f cen in another column; although wo offered the
Carolinian to the parties if they would affix. their
signature to it. Fearing, however, that their names
might not give it a passport to the Democratic par
ty, or its force and merits would suffer so identi
fied, they wi.el" refrained from ; c onnnn the con-
dition. How they could have the hardihood to
j impose it on the Democratic party is explained
only in its malicious inU nt. Its paternity is radi
ant 111 its teaturi s, it beams 111 every paragraph,
and farily expose the puny imposition. Demo
cratic party, forsooth! It's a libel on nny portion of
it. We asserted that it had authenticity in no
portion of the party, and we repent it, for it is by
no means endorsed by the circular of Messrs Pe
gram and others, hut receives instead, as we have
stated, a direct refutation of its chief argument.
$0 much for that part.
The tl:ing is commenced with a heavy blow at,
c- democratic candidate for Sheriff, after which it
j declares an' intention Tiot to interfere. It next
makes a mournful comparison between the present
and the "better and piVrer days of the party" to
prove its degeneracy. -Alas! it was purer until its
ranks were 1 1 111 d to receive certain icJiies,
1 . o
j perhaps a few more conventions' will restore it.
l$ut th-e object vf the card was to defend Col. Mur
AIurchiso"n and to accomplish that, it was neces
sary the Autlrors thought, to pull down the Con
vention, to dam the custom, and assail the motives
of its participants. Now, if Col. Murchison had
not been identified with such institutions as Con
ventions; if he had not been their nominee and ad
vocate; if he had not been one of these 'wire-work-ers
and string pullers" (to use the classic idioms of
the circular) all his life; if he had not claimed the
protection of stich, established upon them his genu
ine democracy and good standing in the party and
if the author of said circular had not sought the
management of conventions himself; had uot been a
prominent actor in the same very often; had not a
practical knowleJge of "cut and dried resolutions"
&c, &c, his tirade against Conventions might have
gome color of consistency if not propriety as it is
however, this precious document is an excellent
commentary upon the political virtues of Col. Mur
chison and his literary champion. It's a poor de
fence of any man to expose him. If Col. IHnrclii
son ha ' in his pocket the names of such a multi
tude in his county he surely stood in no need of the
very equivocal aid furnished him in this circular.
Ve take it, that this circular was designed for the
democracy of Cumberlsndt for if a majority in Har
nett has petitioned the Col. to become a Candidate,
the same majority would give him the county
His acceptability to Cumberland concerns his de
mocracy less than his solicitude for her interests,
and opens a question of more serious importance
than Ins fidelity to party. The enquiries of a cor
respondent in another column, who is familiar with
the record of Col. Murchison. are suggestive of little
to heighten the confidence of our people, or to make
id uuciuoa at ail suitisfaotory. iiuX tfit'iT? is $aid
in this circular to recommend Col. Murchiscm, than
to pall down the Convention, the argument for which
wnnM ,nnl, '",l! lnf Stt and National
Conventions. It is usurpation then to claim for
Judge Ellis, the suffrage of the party; it was tyrani
cal to place Mf Buchanan in power by means of a
convention. These are deductions following the
logic of th Circular.
The conclusion of this over-zealous defence of
Cl. Murchison, denies to the delegates of the May
Convention any delegated capacity. Why? because
m !' 11
neigh borhoyd could be taken without a primary
meeting; the wishes of the few voters could be as
certained without an assemblage, as was done in the
authority given to Duncan Shaw.Esq., E. S- Hobbs,
Devane, and others. The presence of Messrs Co
field, Pegran, Dethca, Barbee, Harrington, and
others, acquit Harnett of any complicity in this
conspiracy against the rights of the people, charged
by the Circular.
The opinion of the writer ot said circular, views
all such assemblages as Conventions as "School
boy farces and humbugs, and insults upon all right
miuded men." This is a singular admission, when
we considei that the said writer iiimself was promi
nent in the Town Meeting that made a large part of
the Convention; was busy in the management of the
same, and would have accepted the appointment of
delegate if it had been given him. But we have de-
voted time and space enough to the Circular.

JETiie Charlotte Democrat has the follow
ing in reference to the card of Mr Woodfin.
"AVe do not think that Judge Ellis meant by
the above that he was opposed to granting aid
to the Coal Field Road. He either lost sight
of that work at the time or he did not Under
stand the question as having a bearing on that
matter. We know that he is in favor of aiding
the Coal Field Railroad he has said so re
peatedly and that should be satisfactory to the
people of Fayetteville. The question raised at
Ashville has nothing to do with the Coal Field
Road."

yesterday morning in arresting an individual
giving his name as Col II. Folk, who had ar
rived the day previous and taken up his quar
ters at the Pavillion Hotel. From some infor
mation imparted to officer Hendricks, be was
led to the belief that the Colonel answered the
description of a fugitive from justice, who had
been lodged in the Jail of Robeson county, N.
C, sometime in April last, on the charge of
homicide. He had broke jail, however, and
a reward of $200 was offered for his arrest, by
lleuben King, Esq , Sheriff of the above coun
ty He made no resistance when arrested, but.
stated that he was on his way to Florida where
he intended to settle, and had several ne
groes of his own with him. On officer Hen
dricks bringing him out for the purpose of lod

of by a squad of policemen and hurried to the

underwent an examination before the Mayor,

'That lifer ( Calhoun so fruitful of actions

whether in gasping syllables or miuttered
tliongnts, does sing, in his parsing hour,, the
deepest, latest and dearest feelings of his
heart. Standing by the bedside, where the
secret? of life are melting into th mysteries of
death, you may perchance have heard that last
farewell which the parting spirit sends to the
ear of the living a mere sigh, perchance, from
the breast where the heart-beats are waning
; away ; a mere murmur, babbled from lips all
but marked with the seal of dissolution a
; dying note, which gives ftlI!neF to a solemn

the man. I hose who once lived in his
int'uuacv; those even who stood aloof from his
! sorrows and his joys, his struggles and his
aspirations, recognize in the last breathing of
mortal wishes and mortal solicitude, a sBpreore
effort of intellect, a last reflex of the concerns
of earth- made holy by the glimpses of heaven.
The closing scenes of the c.ireer of great and
good men, bursting off the clogs of clay, are
eloquent of examples of the kind. Socrates,
numbed by the insidious drops of the poison
cup, shakes off his torpor, and offers a votive
sacrifice to the God of Health. Cato, in his
sublime madness, reads the apology of his act
in the title-deeds of immortality which Plato
wrote. Winkelried, piereed by the bristling
spears of the Austraiu baud, exclaims; "I have
opened a way for my country's freedom!.'
Gustavus Adolphus, arraying his veteran son
on the fatal Geld of Lutzaii, raisas his ey-is to
heaven, and falhirjQ;aying his last prayer "Lord,
for the honor f':' thy holy name I" On the
coudi of St. Helena, wrapped in a last frenzy
of battle, and a last vision of glory, Napoleon
murmurs- his last thought in his lasrt; words
"France, forward the van I" In Uia unslaked
thirst of knowledge, in the very impotence of
piercing through the secrets of science and art,
in the very hour when the gathering shadows
of death were daikening around him, Gcethe
mutters to himself: "More light more lightl"
