tr of the Delegates Tin tbeir attendance afforded
most! gratifying evideoce of -their enthusiastic
zeal in a god caoae.' i No. docbf, jnanyjwf the
neighboring counties, inhere meetings hatiheea
held, were nnrepresented, beeaose the Delegates
; were deterred by the inclemency el the jjday,
; from encountering the::discotnforisof.a..qrkicr
ride. The Convention wan, however, ! euffi
7 ciently full for all oseful purposes, and the asser
tion may be safely hazarded, that never J was
tlere held in North Carolina a more Imposing
meeting. Bat few young -men were tpieseni;
larger proportion of ; Pelegatea ; ieingjff rata
the ranks of the venerable in years, the irre-
proachable in cbaraeter. Bol it is noporpeseof
iors,tu make any labored eulfgy on the; .twrac

' time and space, we can onlyf this week J comma
! nicate its proceedings to the : public, wbichj has

V' part. Hereafter, we may indulge in morel ex

ffect 8gamet him in other States, and gires
uniisdal joy to ; the "Whig party thrbngbont
the nation ; The locos pretend to take iieart
from the fact, lha.t tbe Whig majority is less
than it was last year. It is so in lhe House
of Aasembly ; the Whigs have lost the 13
members of the City, and two or ibree
members beside : But this dves not:dis-
hearten them. 7 They say they have gam
ed in every battle where effort was made.
and have made impressions on the strongest
holds of the Loco Fpco parly. The factthai
the city election has gone sgainst that of the
country is a propicious circumstance : for it
is not onkriown, that I his major it j it was 6b
