I assure you, tbat I feel highly honor ed in being called to preside over the delibera tions of this Convention. And if I could for one moment suppose, that it required much learning or experience in parliamentary usage to discbarge ihe duties of the Chair, I should most respectfully, decline the honor. But when I see tbat I have been called, to this station, by a body ot North. Carolina gen tlemen, who bave met here, for the purpose of interchanging opinions' with each other, and adopting such measures, as will be best calcula ted to unite and harmonise our several constit uencies, upon questions of National and State policy, and of selecting irom among the states men of North Carolina, some one of exalted worth and acknowledged patriotism to bear the Whig Standard in the approaching Gubernato rial contest, I cannot doubt that your duties will ibe pleasant and agreeable, and mine light and easy. I theretoie accept the honorable station, land assure you, that 1 shall most cheerfully co operate! with you, in your endeavors to harmo nize all conflicting interests and opinions, anjd !to discbarge our -duties in such a manner, as to secure the approbation of our common constit. :uents. But to do this, gentlemen, we must each one of us be prepared to yield up our own in dividual opinions and preferences, for it cannot be.expected that so large a body ol gentlemen; Coming together from the various parts of the State, will entertain tbe same opinions and pre ferences upon questions tbat will claim your consideration. It is proper, therefore, (breach One of us to meet the ot her, in a spirit of com promise and concession. Our meeting will then be pleasant, our labors productive of some ihing acceptable to our constituents. But more than that, we shall soon realize the proud satis faction of seeing our beloved North Carolina redeemed, ber resources developed, and our people made prosperous and happy. ; I again, gentlemen, return my thanks for the honor you have conferred upon me, and I as sure you that I will endeavor to 'discharge tbe duties of ihe Chair in an acceptable manner.

April 27 The President toqk tbe chair and called the Convention to Order ; and the. min utes of the previous day's proceeding were read and adopted f j Dr. Frederick J Hill then took the floor, and nominated as the Whig Candidate for Governor, j ( JOHJNi OF C1BWBLL C O U N T Y , whose name was received by the Convent tion with loud acclamation. Mr. Haughtoni of jCbatbam, when the name of John Kerr bad been presented, addressed the Convention. jayipg an eloquent tribute to his political and berspnai character. He was proud, he said, to see Ithe unanimity with which his nomination had Ibe en hailed. Never had there been just cl an occasion - belore in North Carolina,-pnerer a Convention for tha selection of the candidate of our party, in wbicb the nominee, hwejrer worthy of confidence and support, received so unanimous a vote, and enlisted such enthusiastic feeling, as in ibe pre sent. At no time bad there been a ctandardhear. er presented, who i9 io acceptable to his person al and political frjier ds, or who has been more woitby of tbe trust committed to I bis bands.-U If ihere is any rqart eniiiled to ihe cordial sup. porl of the Wbigp of Ntnb Carolina, thai maid is Jobn Kerr. Hejhas, through good and evil report, steadlastly adhered to tbe political pr in ciples of our parfyand gallantly fought to sua-' tain them, and, al bough i living in a county where there wai rery thing to dampen tbe energies of VVhigsi he has never wavered in the most untiring Steal and devotion to thei cause. He is eminently fitted to ibe standard bearer in tbe conjiung campaign. Possessed of a pure heart, unspotted character, Commanding talents ahd thrilling eloquence, it is only ne pessary and I sty here, ais his personal friend, it. is all he asks--.bat we give him our gener. ous confidence, atd that support to which be is entitled at our handstand a sure and brill, ianl victory await! us. Prolonged applause. Ur. Hill moved that the nomination be now taken ; each1 county number of Votes to l!irhtfh casting tbe sam they are entitled in the House of Pnm. mens ; and whin the name of each Coun- J iy iscaueasom one ol the Delegates shall rise in bis place;, and 4 announce the vote ; each branch of which motion was adopt ed separately. !
