In the midst of this' state of thingsin the fce of numerous County meetings, in every one of which, the conduct of Gov.- YanceJs not only 'commended, but enthusiastically approved aftex every newspa per in. the Stare has endorsed his course and after the mosCobviouS' indications oi his immense popu larityfwith the most heroic and: patriotic soldiery in th eWorld.' a man 'steps' forth from the ranks. of his 'noxnihal party friends, charges him with being gens orally incompetent, and especially witn the baseness of bavine betrayed his friends, and offers .himself, as ha successor preferred by the "people I ;Look at it fellow citizen 8.

He proves "his charge by hiswn testimony, alone, and then declares himself io be'your choice ior the place disgraced- by him . you-so confidently trusted?- Was there ever such a spectacle ?

Vance : Mr. Hold en . teas the first mafZ in, the State to noniinate mmzLgfer his place: These are facts which no one will dispute, and when laid side by side, they are exceedingly suggestive. Gov. Vance is a candidate forwre-election on the nomination of vast numbers of his fello -v citizens, at home and in the army; he is rumjlng as he run at first, at the CfM of patriotism, uttered- through, all the organs 4t public opinion, and under cjr,cunv. stances which would make it, mean ahd cowardly in: him not to run- On the one side there is. an appeal from soldiers and citizens, so strong that -it; would be'an insult fqepopular sovereignty not to respect it -on the other his public administration is condemned in a-way to make it a reflection on bis manhood, and tnltb intelligence and forbearance of the State n- to meet it. Neither of these considerations are ope ratingW;Mr. HotDEN. -He was a private citizen, -and cot even the' chosen-bead of. a party; he; was called Out by no popular movement, and he had no admin istration to defend". - ne is-a -candidate by his own choice, he is the accuser, the witness, and the party .interested in the present political strife in the State, "lie is responsible for all the excitiaebt and bitter ness likely to be engendered, and his object is simply his own personal promotion. Do iol the facts prove all these-assertions? and if so, -was there ever before such a. political contest ? 4 Fcuowcitizens, this is riot a raee betweert Gov Vance and Mr. Holden ; it is not merely a question of submission to the Yankees or National independ ence and freedom. If possible, it has. even a. grayer significance than .vthis; it has -' a meaning wuicu touches your nonor ana iweretvi m u. and most vital points.- It is no less tnan an-attempt at thelitter dethronement of popular, sovereignty j i t . .Ai,ntinn hrnnfl man acainst -the popular ludgement, an impeachment ef the intelligence and patriotism of the people;, and a demand that -they : shall eat their own words of approval, ana wnuuraw their Qffri favorite nominee for their chief ruler,, m favor ora man,ho opposes hts single wioj and claims the highest orace in in- ovaur, ... of his own desire to fill it. . - DIS -Honest Arts of the Prpgnress. : - irvC zwJV .
