It stood: Weaver, 224J; Wright, 126J; Al-

that Weaver liad a clear majority and all
the delegates hastened to change their votes

every portion of the convention to make the
nomination unanimous, and just as the sun

the convention adjourned sine die.
The-.Northern RepibHqaa papers are

not included in such a sweeping statement
But the Sherman men are claiming that

and done this base thing ? We would not
'eel like celebrating a Declaration adopt
ed and signed by men of such character.
No; -if the so-called Declaration was
introduced and read at the meet jug on
the 20th of May, that, was. all of it. ,lt
was not .idepted or sigued. , Butprrthe
31 st of Mayollowjpg, which was thead
journed meeting of the ,20th, jho ; jrpvp
and patriotic resolutions then adopted iu-;
corporated the spirit of the Declaration
and reflected the matured judgment and
patriotic sentiment oHlig noWc people of
Mecklenburg. Thi conclusion, is, to our
mind, irrrsistable. ( It was. these resolu
tions that the royal Governor, Josiah Mar
tin, denounced in bis proclamation issued
from his Majesty's ship-of-war, The Crni-
sei, as "the most treasonable proceedings
that had taken place on the Continent."
These resolutions about which there is no
doubt, aie worth as much as the Declara
tion, and are equally worthy of the peo
ple of Mecklenburg. Every true North
Carolinian should feel proud of them.
Why not celebrate the 31st, and the noble
sentiments then tittered by the brave
hearts of Mecklenburg aud stop trying to
bolster np and establish a myth, at the
expense of the honor and courage of the
brave spirits who first put the ball in mo
tion which rolled on till onr fathers, had
achieved the Independence of these States

A Very Smart Girl?
Toledo baa a smart girl. - Her. father sad '
mother were living pleasantly together, and- j '
she suspected nothing wrong in their irebw" .i
tions till one day on receiving f I bundle !
wrapped ia an obsure Indiana paper, she dis
covered an advertisement of an application
for divorce signed wit a. her father's name.
She promptly started on a visit to a friend
in Indianapolis, from which' point she made 1 .r
an excursion into the county in which the . '
notice was published.. Here she found that
her father had been. divorced.! Coming .
straight home, she informed bim f her di . r.
covery, when the 4told man" confessed, aaid
he was ashamed of himself, and anxious t64
make it all right with her mother. MYon
must not go to mamma yet," said, the girl;.
"I do not want her to know the painfal .a
truth." Fortunately the twenty fiflh afiaU
versary of their marriage "Was close at band, If
and the girl arranged silver wedding, to .
which the minister who first married the
couplevas invited, and he pronounced the :
ceremony that made them again man and "
wife. The mother's rival was present by
the very urgent request of the daughter, and
-when it was all oyer the latter took the fair '.
offender into a corner and whispered to her,
papa and mamma are married again as fast
as the law can make it. Whether the truth '
is ever known depends on you. Papa will t
never tell it, and l am sure I never shall.
But it does seemtoime, dear, that some oth- ' -
er climate would suit your constitution-bet' .
ter than this." If the man who marries that -
girl ever gets a divorce, he won't want to
come slobbering around much afterward!'.
