THE DISTRICT CONVENTIOS
THE NOMINATIONS.
We attended the Democratic and Con
servative Convention which assembled at
Statesville on yesterday for the purpose
of nominating a candidate to represent
this District in tbe nest Congress, and
also for the purpose of nominating a can
didale for Presidential Elector for thi
District, never did wo witness greater
harmony in any public assemblage than
pervaded that body. Tbe Convention was
Isigsly attended ten of the twi le eoun
ties composing the District being repre
sented.
Col. John M. Long, of Cabarrus, was
made President of tbe Convention, snd
'ol. E. A. Osborne, of Mecklenburg,
Secretary. It was agreed that each
comity should cast the number of
votes to which It is entitled to delegates
in tbe House of Representatives, and that
two-thirds should be requisite to effect
nomination. Tbe counties were called on
for nominations, when Iredell presented
the name of John H. McLaughlin, Wilkes
the nam or It. Jr . Armbeld, lodkln the
name of A. C. Cowles, Davie and Union
the name of Z H. Vance, and Ho wan the
name of W. M. Robbins and Praneia K.
Shober.
Three votes were then had for the nom.
ination. The first vote was divided be
tween all the names presented. Ou the
second, Mr. Shobcr's vote increased, and
on the third be was unanimously nomina
ted. In response to loud calls Mr. Sho
ber then came forward and accepted the
nomination in brief, but chaste and elo
quent speech. After Mr. Shober had con
cluded his remarks the name of W, M.
Robbins was proposed for Presidential
Elee or when be was nominated by accla
mation. He also accepted the nomination
in a brief bnt forcible speech.
Of these nomination it i scarcely ne
cessary to speak. Mr. Bhober is well
known to lbs people of this District as an
able and effective debater, a fine scholar
and an urbane, popular and accomplished
gentleman. Moj. Robbins is also well
known to them as a gentleman of high
character, and as one of the best political
speakers in North' Carolina. ,
Up to the last moment hopes had been
entertained by many that our present
Representative, Hen. N. Hoyden, whose
course at tbe last session gave such uni
versal satisfaction, woald announce his iu-
tMtion to support the nominees the New
Yck Convention. In that event lbs
would have been unanimously renomiua-
ed. We even believe that be weald have
been re-nominated if be had been known
to b neutral. But tbe delegates te the
Con vention Tearuing from i one of then
number, who had a personal interview
with Mr. Hoyden but a few days before,
that be was certainty tot Grant and Col
fat his name was bet mentioned in that
canJiJatc
gross, sad that he will publish a card an
nouncing tb ihet ia a few days.
Mr. Shoher, w learn, will
the escvass at sees, and will address tha
Doosis el Catawba, at Nswlen, oa next
Monday, and the peopl of U vie, at neca
vffls,ea next Tuesday.

Rev. Wat. I saasssh, ene ef the speak

. . . . , . . i
addressed the club in a very excellent
and telling speech. H stated with
divide the two parties ia the present c
test, and showed that the preservation

defeat of tb radical party Iu the ensuing
election He had himself been aa old

sues which formerly divided lb Whig
and Democratic parties as being sunk iu
lb contest now ponding for the restoration
and preservation of the go vera meat.
After Mr. Lambeth had eoncloded, load
calls w.r made for W. H. Barley, Esq
the other speaker appointed for the occa
sion. Mr. Bailey arose and stated that
our ablo and excellent Senator, W. M
Robbins, Esq., wss present, and that a
he had a great desire to hear him, snd be
lieved all present bad a desire to bear bim,
be called upon that gentleman te address
the meeting k hi atead. Loud colls
brought Moj. Robbins to his feet when be
proceeded to address tb club and the as
aembled eithtens for aa hour and three
quarters iu ene of the ablest and most tel
ling if not the ablest and atest letting po
litical speech te whkh we have ever list
ened. We have heard the Major on
many occasions, and we do net hesitate
to say that his speech but night was the
ablest and best we ever heard from him
he surpassed himself.
note we will not attempt to give even aa
outline ef his speech ws could not do so
without doing bim great injustice. He
gave an account of his stewardship in the
Senate and furnished his hearers with a
history of the proceedings ef that body
which was most instructive and cuter
taining.
The following resolntion off. red by J
M. McCorkle, Esq., wbi adopted without
a dissenting voice:
Resaired, That we heartily approve of
tbe holding of a convention at Statesville
on the 2d of September uext for the pur
pose or nominating a candidate for Con
gress iu this District : and we pladaw our
selves to support the nominee of said con
vention, relying upon the wisdom aad pa
triotism of that body te nominate no man
for said position, unless be stands square
ly upon the platform, and Is an open and
fearless supporter of the nominees of tbe
National Uemocrntic Convention.
, The President appointed W. H. Bai
ley, Esq., to address the club et its neat
meeting.
W. JT. 0. RAILROAD.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of this road took place at
Statesville last week. The amend
ment to the Charter of the Company
was accepted which will add largely
to the liabilities of the State.
At a meeting of the Directors Dr.
J J. Mott, of Catawba coonty. was
elected President; CuL & M cD. Tate
was elected Superintendent and gen
eral financial agent. 1 Ins seems to
have been the result of a compromise
in some way between the State's
proxy, (Jen. Llttleiield, and tbe stock
holders, and gives general satisfac
tion. Dr. Mott is a moderate Repel,
lican, a man of ability and a gentle
man, and will doubtless waken good
officer. Of the qualifications of Col.
Tate it is unnecessary for ns to speak
it will be conceded by all that no
better appointment to that office could
have been nade. . -
