i Tha public spirit exhibited by the cit

last week, is deserving of all praise, and
such as could hardlyj be exceeded any
where. No people could extend a wel
come more warm and! hearty to their fel
low-citizens the elegjant hospitalities of
true North Carolinian were open to all
and participated in by! all and the Dele
gates from a distance were made to feel
that they were among; friends and broth
ers. There are many very handsome pri
vate residences, botlurj town and country
the public buildings are good those ap.
propriated to Institutions of learning spa.

THE NEXT GOVERNORSHIP.
We obserre that the 44 IWeldon Herald" is
out in an article upon theisulyect of the next
Governorship, and recommends that a Whig
State Convention be held n this City, on the
10th of January. Upon this proposition it asks
the views of the Whig Press generally.
So far as our own individual opinion is con
cerned, and with all due njspect for the opin
ion of our Weldon Cotemporary, we think the
discussion of this matter rather premature, and
the time suggested altogether too early. In the
first place, a sufficient length of lime does not
intervene between this and the 10th of Janua
ry, to afford an opportunity: for holding the dif
ferent County meetings to appoint Delegates ;
in the'second place there is no necessity for so
protracted a campaign, a j nomination, at so
early a day, would induce;; and in the third
place, we see no use of being in a hurry, any
way. As to the locality we are confident that
we speak Ihe sentiments of the Whigs of Ral
eigh, when we say, that th?y entertain no par
ticular preferences as to the point irAere the
Convention, at a proper time, mav assi-ml.U.
.We are ourself inclined to the opinion, that, as
our uy has had perhaps pretty much of mo
nopoly in that line, the Convention had better
be holden at some other accessible point say
at Hillsborb' or Greensboro'. But more, at
the light time. Ral. Reg.
