The Accordance.


The Acceptance.
We subloin the Correspondence between
the Committee of the late Wing Conyen-
ton, and Mr.. MoREHEAD, on the subject of
his nomination by that body for Governor.
Ii Will be source of unmingled satisfaction
TO the Wings Of North-Carolna, that he
has accepted the nomination rendered him,
and, IN spirit, that promises the most au-
spiclous results. We therefore uniurl the
banner to the breeze. We place Mr..
MoREHEAD's name at the head of our paper,
gralliied that such nomination has made
our duty, and that of every other eonduc-
tor Of Wing Press, not only agreeable
but exceedingly easy. Though pressed for
time, we must be permitted to allude to
the Characteristic boldness and manliness
Of his Communication. II is 50 plain, that
he who runs may read. No shutting, no
trimming, no ambiguous sentences, but in
the spirit of true Wing, he calls things
by their right names, regardless of con-
sequences persona! to himself. Next to
holy cause, the chief essential to success
is to have gallant leader. In our Can
dIdate, we have such, and we 90 forth to
battle confident Of ylctory-no confidence
sprnging from any false estimate, either
Of the prowcss Of the enemy, or Of our own
numerical force, but a confidence based up
on the thorough belief, that the people wish
TO do right, and will DO night, if properly
enlightened. But to the Correspondence.

Sir Culture-Mr. Gideon B. Smith,
in the last number OF the journal Of the
American Silk Society, holds the follow.
ing language:
Let every owner Of trees bear this in mind
let them hold on to their trees-dont sell unless
you can get fair prce-until spring, and then
you will have the aid Of the spectators in getting
good prices. Above all, lei growers keep out of
the city markets. Every one who goes to the
cities TO sell, adds TO the great stock already there
and gives feyerish force to the paHie,'
Better advice than this-sounder and
more disinterestcd-no man in the coun-
try could give. We repeat it, KEEP
AWAY FROM THE CITIES. Look
for market at home or any where else
but in the cities, for there is no market
there al present. Every thing is fauened
by the pressure for money-business is
stagnant and the energies of the country
shlyermg under palsy which will require
time and gentle treatment to remove

4 Wing Senate for at least four gears,
For more than 20 years the men Just
ousted from power have had a majority IN
the Senate of this State. BY the present
returns that body is changed, and the
Wings at last will have u clear and deci-
ded majority. Next year, six Locos aud
two Wings 90 out, so that there is every
reason to suppose that their numbers will
be still further increased. 1t is therefore
quite certain that for the next FIVE years,
