County Of lredell, on the 2lst ultimo, His Excel.
lency Ex-Governor HUTCHINS G. BURTON,
aged about years. He was on his way from his
residence IN Halifax County, TO Beates' Ford, when
taken Ill. The deceased was a most amiabe and
excellent man, and had filled several OF the most
important Offices that his native State could be.
stow; besides that of Chief Magistrate, he had
gaen Attorney General Of the State memb Of
the State Legislature for several years, from the
County Of Mecklenburg: and afterwards was e.
lected several years TO Congress from the Halifax
District. AS public agent be was faithful, d.
llgent, and conscientious IN the discharge of his
duty. As member of society, he was social,
kind, and puncti,iously honorable. As friend,
he was warm-hearted and unwavcring: But. IN
the family circle we most delight to contemplate
him In these various relations, his existence SEEM
ed almost identified with those around him his
affection for his family was boundless and intense:
that 1t was reciprocated with corresponding ardoJ,
no one whose foot has ever rested on his cheerful
hearth stone, could for moment doubt. Great
heart! thy tolls and trials are now ended:
"Cold they lie in the grave below
But the memory of thy worth and purity Will
" live after thee" and warm affection glow at the
mention of thy name.

Gen. Dudley rerSuS The People.

We presume 1t is known to but few, that,
in 1871, Gen. Dudley voted to take the
choice of Presidential Electors away from
the people, and give 1t to the General As.
sembly. But such is the fact. On exam
ming the Journals, we find that an Act was
passed at the session of ISL, deprivlng the
people of the right of voting for Electors,
and vesting that privilege in the Legislature.
Among those who voted for the passage
of the BILL We find the name of EDW ARD
B. DUDLEY, one of the Commoners from
the County of OnsIow. We are curious to
know now Gen. Dudiey's supporters can re-
concile this yote-so anti.Republican, so con-
temptuous Of the rights of the treemen of
the State-with theiscndorsement of his Re
publicGniSm, and the claim they have set
up for him as friend of the people; and
shall await an explanation from some Of his
champions.

Gen. DuGlcy's Vote i'm ISL.

Some weeks since, the Standard alluded
to a vote of Gen. Dudley's in the year 1911.
1t was introduced with such flourish OF
trumpets, that we began to fear the Anti,
Van Buren, Candidate was to be utterly de.
molshed, SO that not even "grease spot "
would be left of him. We retrained from
noticing the remarks Of the Standard until
now, hoping we should be able to procure
the Journal of that year. We have endea.
vored to do so in vain. And we proceed
to give such an explanation Of Gen. Dud-
ley's vote as we believe to be the true one.
The vote objected to, is that giving 10 the
General Assembly the appointment of Flee.
tors for President and Vice President
Previous to 1911, this State voted by Dis.
tricts. Her vote was divided, at the time
of Mr.. aladison's first election. 1t is we'll
known, (no one knows it better than Mr..
Van Buren, himself) there was considera-
bic party violently opposed to Madison, and
in favor Of Clinton. lr WAS FOR THE FUR.

Republican Candidate, THAT THE CHANGE

OPPOSED By THE FEDERAL PARTY. Ii,
therefore, Gen, Dudley erred, he was in good
company; if the vote was anti. Republican,
the Republicans and Federalists had for
once changed sides. II is perfectly consis.
