WILLIAM L, WILSOV.
Formtij) months Mr. Wilson
ha-, .rt-u prominently before the
country because of bis being Chair
man of ihe Wys and Means Com
mittee ol the HoaHe and theacored
ite;i an' hor ot the VVilson bill. Al
wiiys an objec: of interest to bis
country mm, he in especially so now
that he is seriously ill in a far away
Mexican c ty.
jt is sad indeed to see a great
man stricken down in the midst of
a high aad honorable career, and
oar sorrow is intensified with the
reflection that he is a martyr in his
country's cause.
Every North Carolinian indeed
we may say every American who
is famnliar with the history of the
timet, knot's that our own beloved
Vance log', his health through over
exenionni hehalfofhis people. It
is with profound gratitude, to the
giver of all good, that we have
leared that oar great Seoator is bet
ter and is expected to be at his post
at no dUtant day. This is a digress
ion. We commenced to write of ;
Wilson and the allusion to Vance
is incidental.
We often hear the remark that
Character is what a man is: Repu
tati n is what he is suppoesd to be.
In both character and reputation
Mr. Wilson has reaohed an eleva
tion seldom attained He is known
to the comitjy ar large as a states
man, in the narrower circle of honie
tnd peis-mal acq i ai n t ancesb ip he
is hived ss1 a dev. iled husband, a

"Northern men and women should

''Ex-Governor Jarvis, whom I had the
pleasure of meeting, explained to me the
great interest taken in North Carolina in
influencing Northern immigration, and he
assured me that settlers would be warmly
welcomed and treated as brothers. We
arc impressed with the wondeitul re

trouble. Uuless the committee borrows
