one whom tbe Opposition at the Convention in
Raleigh last week, during the second day's session,
elected aa car taadard-bearer for tho Guberna
torial honors of the old North State. Mr. Pool
is said to be every way Cited for the post ns well
as eminently qualified with all that U requisite to
secure it. He is some thitty-Gre years of ape,
Its been in political life since he reached bis
majority, and since which he has bad abundant
opportunity to acquiro the necessary experience
to conduct a political campaign, lie contributed
very cffectiiely by his labors and influcrffo to the
election of Hons. R. T. Paine and V. X. II.
F inith, in the First Congressional district.
He is. one of the ablest' and shrewdest de
baters one of the best lawyers one of the
most popnlartnen anda JfanhfuJ snd hon
ored legislator. He lias labored for his party
and fought Democracy when others were idle.
lie has pointed his friends to victory, while
ol tiers cowered berore the enemy. Hit voice
has never been hushed by the victorious shouts
of Democracy ; but he has ftruprpled most when
the day was Jar lest. He is Inac through

TUK VlBOIMA DEMOCnAtIO CoNVINTION.
After a session of three whole days, and nearly
counties, and the President promises to carry
oil qur cotton crop of J 801 nejrt year if our
people will have the grading finished by tho time
tho Pee Dee Dridge is ready. Only think of
that fellow citiaens and -redouble your energies,
increase your forces; let some of our strong citi
zens tako op the unlet work and rush it through ;
it is but a single short strain note arid the trouble
is over forever. The signs are certainly brighter
fur an early completion of tho woik than any of
us hare imagined. The switch from tho main
stein will be put in, but a new survey ia first
necessary, as the last was not as good as was
desired. Tbe Directors wish the best and most
satisfactory that can beobtiriired. ' " "
We alio learn that tracUayinir will commence
mentally and physically, the m.vn for the office of J, tne Western end about the 1st of April, and
Governor. He has record, capacity, energy and by the end of the year will probably reach Shelby,
- Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad. The President of this Company
has been with ns for several day past, and from
hi intercourse with oar citiiens, we ire highly
pleased to be able to state that the prospects of
this heavy enterprise were never brighter than I
at present. ' The Company have employed on tbe
eastern end quite large force, some engaged in
keeping up the road already laid tome in laying
track iouie in building trestle ind the largest
lore in grading the unbnislicd section Lelow
Lumbertont A soon as this latter foiee finishes
in Robeson,' it will move op to Richmond and
continue its labors until it reaches the Pee Deo.
The Company have also as' strong force at the
Pee Dee Dridge as can well work on it- The
railroad to tako tho rock from the quarries to the
bridge site is nearly complete the flats to convey
the rock to the piers in the river are nearly ready.
The machinery for raising the rock is now on the
way, and the whole work will be most expeditious
ly done, the state of the water and weather per
mitting. A force of one hundred hands will
shortly bo put to grading tho heavy sections be
tween Charlotte and the Union county line and
for the triadinc through Anson and Union ooun-

three whole nights, this body adjourned on Sa-Hn the Convention, that Senator Douglas' views
turday night, the 18th, and, say the Richmond
Whig, no account, however graphic, ean do just
ice to such an infernal pow-wow. We have never
seen continues the )'h!g not eveu at the fa
mous Petersburg Convention such disorder, such
tumult, such wild and frantic uproar. No at
tempt at description could convey even faint
idea of the scene.
Not having room for fuller particulars, we give
tbe Whig'i retumt of tbe proceedings of the Con
vcntion i
" 'Measures not men,' la tbe professed motto of the
Virginia Democrat, and yet, during tbe entire seuion
of the Convention, 'men' were the sole and absorbing
topic, while 'measure were not even treated with
the cold respect ef a passing notice. Could anything
demonstrate more eliarlylhat tbe so-called Demo
cratic party is simply and only an 'Imposition' party?
for long years past, ami especially lor the last few
months, these men have been constantly prating about
the rights of the South, and the interest of the South,
and the honor of the South, all to be upheld and main
tained by tbe Democratic party aloue. And yet Wise
and Hunter, and Hunter and Wise, were the only
themes which these peculiar frieuda and guardians of
tuesjutn seemed to take any pleasure in discoursing
npon and upon these themes upon tbe question of
mere 'men' they were particularly eloquent, and
aery, and nguty, and uproarious.
09 A Mr. R.'R. Collier, a dclognte in tho
Virginia Convention, from Petersburg, declarod
experience,
We place Mr; Pool's name before the "people of
Xorl'.i Carolina, fur the Ciuht-rnntorial chair, upon
hi'i roundd. We urge hi? claims on account
of his .pceuliar fittiem for the position on ac
count of his experience, his aliHty, his energy,
his recoril unobjectionable alike to Knst and
West his great popularity, and the fae ilil'ij
with whii-h he makes friends. These are the
. . ....
. reisons which actuate us iu presenting tinn to the
people of North Carolina. -
There is no Tlflubr but that .Vrr PouT will ac-
I titty four miles from Charlotte. They are ahead
of us, there--and why? Because they had fuith
in their own energies at the very beginning, and
have labored incessantly through a dark night of
troubles. Day, a ljng pcrpctutd day, now breaks
upon tbeir visions, and they will enjoy in rest the
fruits of their labors. Let us, then, though com
mencing late, by redoubled energies regain lost
time, and like our Western friends sit down under
, vui vmm iuv aim u nee. us mi uiiiic, co
operate, and path on the good work.
rept the nomination, and wc tin's acck place his
name at o jr ni.vtlicaj.
- The OM'OsrtioN Convention The editor
kas not yet arrived home from the Convention,
but wc ate asrnired by our exchanges, and dele
gates who have arrived, that it was one of the
largpsfj-most enthusiastic and powerful in point
of talent that ba? ever been held in the State, and
although differences of opinion nay hare existed
f ' even to tbe extent as some confidently predicted
7 of a "split" in the party all discordant ele
ments and jarring opinions were most amicably
and harmoniously adjusted.
On the Equalization of Taxation question,
members of the Convention from different sec
tions naturally entertained somewhat different
views but for the common caute all these were
buried, sod at parting the utmost unanimity and
enthusiasm prevailed. East as well as West the
cry went np " Hurrah for Pool aud Equal Taxa
tion," and with that for. their watchword, the
delegates started homeward, not a dkDting voice
heard or a countenance seen on which did not
. beam the cheerful tokens of hope and victory.
The delegation frour Anson were first called
upon .in the Convention, owing to their initial
position, and they cast their votes the right way
every time; and the M'higs of Anson, to con
tinue the good woik and ratify the nomination,
we are requested to say, will assemble at the
'ourt-House on Tuesday of April Court, at which
time, it is utrlerslood, delegates will be appointed
- to attend a District Convention at Salisbury, onJ

Convention front -the district decided to call,) fur
the purpose of selecting delegates to a National

?U Soon after tho election of Pennington to
the Speakership, some of the letter writers at
Washington got up a canard to the effect that
Governor Hicks, of Maryland, had sent a private
messenger to Washington to bear his congratula
tions to Pennington. Acting on these newspa
per reports, the House of Delegates of the Le
gislature of Maryland adopted a resolution, re
Mediocrity is Office Noaign of the times
(says the Xasbvillo Banner) is wore unhealllifuj
than the numerous suggestions which one meets
ou every hand introducing the name of third
fourth and fifth rate men for the first positions in
the Republic. Time was when no man's name
was ever scriously'considered in connection with
the Presidency, who by age and long and illus
trious public aervice had not identified himself
either with the civil or military history of tbe
country. Now obscurity, accident of residence,
adventitious circumstances of every variety, and
any ingredient which goes to mnke up the sum
of Availability, will suffice to . make any irn
"prominent" for the nomination of tha0 jj,at
convention as the Presidential can jijatC) and
probably President of thi' -eat nation
A precocious vo--og Congressman, with a
sprightly inUViecl, popular address, and voluble
ionjrjnd frequently a facile political oonsoienee,
nas hardly ventilated his vocabulary in the House
of Representatives before the Vice Presidency,
at tbe next election, becomes the inevitable dream
of his arubitionkand he immediately commences
to instigate a bevy of brainless admirers, or a
retinue of hungry expectants to push his " claim,"
for that high distinction.
It was not so in the earlier and purer- days.
Then it required a long, laborious and useful
service as legislator to earn distinction even in
that capacity,' and after attaining sac-h a position
they were content to serve the country as faith
fully as Jacob did Laban for tho hope of higher
promotion. It was by such means that the great
statesmen who-have been forced into retirement
to make place for the Lilliputian politicians of
the present day entitled themselves to the grati
tude oHhjsjeople, and the honors of the Re
public, and rendered themselves .competent to
administer the high functions of rulers and law-g'vcra-
..J". ncb schools ;rere trained a Lowndes,
the Gilaes, the Masons, and their like.-;-
Snd common boner ty, to indulge in no mors disgust'
ing humbug aud bnlderduali about the endangered
rights and honor of Virginia sad the South, for tbey
re nut the men to uphold the one or defend the ether.
It is their peculiar prurince, after their recent exhi
bition, to s.juubblo only about men and the spoils;
and this question of meu is at Inst only a question of
the spoils, and this was the animating and eoutroling
consideration with the lw& personal factions, wUiclj
made np the late so-called Democratic Convention. '
"As to the sentiment of tbe Convention on the ques
tion of preference between Iluntof and Wise, a ma
jority of the 'sweet oices' ot Uie delegates were de
cidedly in furor of the latter, but the Jluntcr men re
sorted to parliamentary tactics to defeat an expression
of preference for Wise, and were necessarily successful,
inasmuch as thirty or forty men ean stave off a vote
on any question until doomsday, if they unlirrtaod
me tricks an I ruses or, parliamentary law. Jlut this
unjust and illiheml conduct on the part of the friends
of Hunter will avail tucm nothing in tbe preference of
llio masses or tbe irginia Democracy, a large ma
jority of whom are evidently in favor of the 'tearless
tribune of the pe tpl-,' formerly of tbe classic spot
called llnly,' near (lusncock, iu the county of Acco
m.ic; and all the devils, big and little, in the Hunter
faction, can t take the wind out of bis sails. There
is really ho use in these fuctious Hunteritcs kicking
agiust the pricks, fir their favorite ia a dead cock in
the pit, and it is nut in the power of the Democracy of
Essex and Rockbridge combined to restore him to po
litical life and health. But we invoke the Wis men
tote np and doing in regard to the appointment of
gates to the several district conventions, or else the
tacticians anu wire-wormrs of tbe Hunter clique will
assuredly pack those ConventiCaS, and thereby defeat
the, will and wishes of Vu'e masses of the Viigiuia De
mocracy. Gentlemen of both factions, we implore and
beseech yea to ttan l to your respective colors, and
ncv;r give up the ship! ,
"There was one curious fact connected with the
proceedings of the convention jon.. Saturday. -Uigut,
which we design merely to advert to at present. A
resolution was otfared approving of Governor Letch
er's course since his accession to the Executive office,;,
arid, strange to sny, in this Democratic Convention, j
right under Governor Leu her s nose, said resulniio-.
was booted down, aiuij the wildest confusion ar J jg.

unfair to the South than those entertained by Gov

Seward should legislate-for htm on the subject of

Wise or II. M. T. Hunter, which declaration was
received with great seiisatlon,hlssa from ill parts
of the house, and cries of " hear him, " put him
out," " let him go on," io
During ono of the most tempestuous scenes,
when about fifty persons were trying to address
the chair, Mr. Cooke, from Wythe was beard
to exclaim above the din and confusion :
"By G d, gentlemen, I'll stand here till bell frceies
over. ' (lells, laugkter, ana calls lor Cooke.) "II
you will bear ms but two minutes, I can settle the
whole matter."
State Bou.ntim for Home M anufact"Ae8
The Legislature of Texas has now undor coiisid

tho following terms :

A Trick of tue " Impo8:tio!" Democra

to resolve themselvis into a witi w'ijiy,. Willi a view
of taking a vote ou the Hcctional Disunion S9utl-ern

Like nut-grass, it is rooting in every direction,
and forcing out plants of a healthier and more
useful nature. Instead of aiding to heal the
wounds upon the body politic, its desicn is to
"perpetuate discord." The Mobile Rgitter, a
Democratic Douas paper, explains it, and its
aims and objects, as follows :
It is the endeavor to use the name and organization
of tho Democratic poity for the purpose of precipi
tating tin; Cotton States into a revolution. The ortgi-
