Our fellow citizens of the respected State of North Carolina will no doubt render wise judgment in the matter; but they will permit us to suggest the interest which we have, as Confederates, in their decision. Again expressing our deep regret that a party contest should be raised at such a time, we find no consolation in the motives in which it it origi nates. We have a high respect for Col. jVaoce, Cor his taleuta, his patriotism, and bis services- But it does seem that it ought not to have been hard to rally on such a man as Col. Johnston. We presume there is really no essential difference between toe two gentlemen. Aimer j wouiu doubtless employ all his talents, and zealously di rect all the resources of the State, to the mainte nance of her independence. And there seems to b&e been a great deal of political magnanimity shown in the selection of Col. Johnston. An old line Whig, and not an early Seceasioni-t, he was cordially accepted, in the spirit of harmony, by Democrats and Secessionists when proposed by former Union men. Some of these last have now (brought out an opposition candidate from the declarations of their platform and the comments of their presses for no better reasons that we can discover, than prejudice against the Confederate nd SUto administrations, and the desire for office!

All useless offices should be abolished, and no more money should be expended than is absolutely required to carry on the government, and enable the State to contribute her due proportion of men and means to the common defence.. Resolved, That the military povrer should a'. ways be subordinate to the civil power, whether in war on in peace ; and that martial law should never be declared, nor the writ of Jiabeaa corpus suspended, except when indispensable to the pre servation of civil society or of the State itself. Resolved, That the patience, fortitude, endu rance, gallantry, and devotion of our brave troops, are worthy of all praise ; and that we shall ever cherish a grateful recollection of their services and sacrifices in this war.

Believing that the only hope of the South de rjended uuon me prosecution of the war at all hazards and to the utmost extremity, o long as the foot of an invader pressed Southern eo'il, I took the field at an eaily day, with the diterrnniHUon to remain there, until our independence wa achieved. Mv convictions in this regard remain that which placed me at toe had ol tne gallant men whom 1 now command. A true man should, however, be willing to serve wherever the public .voice may assign him. II, therefore, my fellow citizens believe that I could serve tbe groat cause better as Governor than I am now doing, -and should see proper to confer this great responsibili ty upon me, without solicitation on my part, 1 should not feel at liberty to d-jclino it, however conscious of my own un worthiness. In thus frankly avowing my willingness to la bor in any position which may be thought beet would withdraw Mr. Johnston and start some one I for tbe public good, I do not wish to be conoider- of this eUe for Governor ; but this movement, if jon- lem plated, was no doubt prevented by the person al presence of the President of the Charlotte and Columbia (South Carolina) Railroad.! We learn that the President aforesaid was cer tainly in close consultation with one Englishman and a couple of Irishmen, all of whom are prricx HOLDS as, or deeply interested pecuniarily in COKTINULNO TUK .DTALLrXDKRATXa IX PyWIR. Are the rights and liberties of our people, to be entrusted KXCLVSlVELT to such persons? But all this selfish plotting against Colonel Vance! will come to nought. He will be elected in suite of official, or South Carolina, or British, or Milesian influence. The Confederate Conser- atives of the State will see to that. Tbe tone of those engaged in this struggle for office, is very unhappy as it affects the .general Interests of the Confederacy, if we may judge from aotne of their leading presses. It is one of habitual complaint and harsh criticism of almost every act jf cither the Confederate or State authorities. See how this has caused North Carolina to be misiudged at tbe North, and to be insulted by the compliments and calculations of her enemies and oursl Confident predictions have been made that North Carolina was about to return to the V nion 1 Her brave troops are insulted by slanders that . . . . t ? A if ed guilty of the affectation of indifference to the groat honor wnicn my leilow citizens id us pro pose to bestow upon me. On tbe contrary, . should consider it the crowning glory, of my lit' to be placed in a position where I could most ad vance the interests and Honor ox iNortn uarouna, and, if resessary, lead her gallant sons against her foes. But I shall becontent with the. people s win. Let them speak Sincerely deprecating the growing tendency to wards rarty strife amongst our people, which every patriot shauld shun in tbe piesence of the coram n danger, I earnestly pray for that unity of sentiment and fraternity of feeling, which alone with Ihe favor of God, can enable us to prosecute this war for Liberty and Indejendence against all odds, and under every adversity, to a gloriou and triumphant i?ue.
