VANCE AND rICrTORY !
The late Convention was, as neatly
as possible, the exponent of the real
feelings and desires in a political sense
of a majority of North Carolinians.
It met to devise some sure means of
rescuing from the Radical party the Ex
ecutivo part of the State Government,
of retaining control of the Legislativo
department, and of placing the Old
North State in the Democratic column '
in the Presidential election. A a for a,
we can judge from the acceptability of
the ticket it nominated aud the enthu
siasm it engenerded, it may lie said that
the Convention was eminently success
ful. The standard bearers have firm,
steady bands and eyes that inspire cour:
age by the Might of determination that'-""
shines from them.! It is safe to say
that no convention of the Conservative
party could probably have made fitter -Kclections,
or made them iu a manner
better calculated to give eclat to the oc
casion. There are several gentleman on
the ticket who not only lend digmty to
it, but are of real strength, either in
sections or over the whole State.
Vance, its head, is a tpwer of strength, ,
and will make such a canvass as has
nover been known in North Carolina
He has never had as good an opportu-
nity a3 this, for displaying his jH-culiar
iKwers on the stump. Before tho war
his canvasser were confined to hit dis
trict. During the war tho flower of the ,"
voters were iu the field, and since the
war he has made no thorough canvass
of the whole State. Vance is the ablest .
general canvasser we have. His ex-
haustlcss stock of wit and shrewd neas,
his fertility of resources, have never
been surpassed by any North Caroli
na speak ej. His manner as a stump
speaker is inimitable. There is an in
definable spell that ho puts upon anaui
diencc which carries it inevitably by
storm. No man can more harmonious
ly blend the humorous aul the pathetic,
the droll and the serious, the argumen
tative and the appeal ad hominem.-
Vance is the Odd Trump in any fight.
This summer and fall mountain, hill
and dune will ring with his electric calU '
and the answering shouts of tho people.
He will probably make speeches in eve
ry county. Thousands will hear him
who would not go out to hear another.
Vance and Victory ! ' Let this be the
cry, and let us hold up his hands all .
through the great battle. A great chief
tain is worthy of a grand support

The elevation of this distinguished
