ability. Why it is that a more talented
man of the party was not put forward as
the standard-bearer of their principles,
we are unable to say, unless it be that
none of them felt willing to be rtriost aw-
fully defeated. This may be the reason

This great event, more important than the

our own, but we confess, that when we
think over every thing connected with the
nomination, there appears more truth than
fiction in it. Let it be whatever it may,
Mr. Reid is destined to be defeated by a
large majority. North Carolina is too
thoroughly attached to the principles of
the Whigs to be drawn off by a man of
the first order of talents, much less one of
the ordinary kind.
We would , say to the Whigs of the
State, be firm stand by your country in
this contest as you have done on former
occasions. In Mr. Manly, the Whig Can
didate, we have all that we want ; ready
in debate, and a learned ind accomplish
ed scholar and gentleman. If just half
an effort is made by the Whigs, a com
plete and glorious triumph awaits us.
The following is the Raleigh Register's
account of the sayings and doings of the
Convention :
The " Democratic" Convention.
This body met in this City on Wednes
day, the 12th instant, and was decidedly,
the most 44 sickly and feeble affair," ever
congregated in North Carolina in the
shape of a State Convention. After so
Mr. C. briefly and feelingly responded,
amid the cheers of the thousands who had

the M Union" and - Standard," that the
Whigs had repudiated all their principles
and now declared them obsolete ideas,9
we say, barring these exceptions, the ad
dress of the President kyas what we might
have expected from htjn.
This being over, thej farce now came on
to be enacted. The Secretary was direc
ted to call the Counties composing the
Congressional Districts, that the -Dele-gates
names might be enrolled. The first
district was commenced and finished, but
no Delegate r came forward, nnd it was
about to be set down as unrepresented,
when some one announced that Mr. D. K.
MacRae. of this City, had been requested
toj-epresent Cleavelarid. The second Dis
District was then called, and the Secreta
ry looked round imploringly, bnt it was
like 44 calling spirits from the vasty deep"
they did not come. The third District
was represented by one Delegate from
Moore County. The fourth District, we
think, by three from Rockingham County,
only. Chatham County, we believe, was
the only one unrepresented in the jifth.
The sixth (Raleigh) District was fully re
presented. The seventh, by Delegates (we '
think) Irom Cumberland, New Hanover,
Sampson and Onslow. The eighth by
Wayne, Craven and Beaufort ; and the
ninth by nobody at all.
The above facts having been ascertain
ed, a general'6tnAriew spread itself over
the Convention, and considerable silent
suspense seemed to follow ; but they.were
finally relieved by Mr. Shepard, of Wake,
who rose to move the appointment of a
Committee, for the preparation of business,
for the action of the Convention. He said
he knew it was customary to have such
Committee consist of two Delegates from
each Congressional District in the State,
but they were not there, to appoint, and j
he therefore moved that the President ap- I
point a Committee of thirteen, 4 at his dis
cretion," for tbat purpose which motion
prevailed ; and after the appointment of
a Committee to wait upon the Hon. Sam.
Houston, of Texas, and the Hon. Mr.
Douglas, of Illinois, and ask them to take
seats in the Convention, it adjourned to 4
o clock.
At the appointed hoqr, the Convention
again assembled, and the President an
nounced the names of the Committee ol
thirteen, three of whom were from this
City, (though one of them begged off) and
it received permission to sit during the.
sessionsof the Convention. Alter the ar
rival of the distinguished strangers, a
general silence ensued, and all seemed to
be looking for something but did not
know what or where from but finally
Mr. J. G. Shepherd, of Cumberland, was
called for, who arose and delivered a right
nice little school-boy speech, about the
gtory arte oeauiy ox uemocratic prin
ciples, and the twoj Whig votes on the
Mexican War. Mr. MncRae was called
for and declined, but offered Mr. Linn
Sanders, of Johnston, as his substitute,
who took the same track as the former
speaker, and disclosed the astounding fact,
that the object of the Whig party was, to
get the "Democratic ipartyoutol power.
This news was of so startling a character,
that the Convention, not feeling able to
bear such another thunder-clap, adjourn
ed forthwith till to-morrow morning, at
ten o'clock.
And thus ended the first day of this
mammoth Convention, numbering about
100 Delegates, one-fourth of whom were
from Wake County ! and, we believe we
are correct when we ay, not one third of
the Counties in the State, being represen
ted !
The Convention met on Thursday morn
ing, pursuant to adjournment, and after
the preliminaries of opening, Mr. Mac
Rae, of this City, responded to a call made
upon him, in what we conceive the fee
blest effort we ever knew him to make.
It was, to use bis own language, in refer
ence to another subject, "a strange con
glomeration of unmeaningness" being
made up of " kisses to Mr. Clay, mammas,
babies, niggers, and policemen" ru.
Tariff, Bank, War, Preamble, Re-dstrict-ing,
6cc. hetergeneouslv mixed up, mak
ing altogether, the funniest sort of a
speech.
