Whig state Convention.

| This body assembled on Tuesday last,
IN remarkable full force, considering the
unproptlous state of the Weather. The
ram fell IN unceasIng torrents through the
day, and Tie punctualIty of the Delegates
IN their attendance afforded most gratify-
ing evidence Of their enthusiastic zeal in
4 good cause. No doubt, many Of the
neighboring counties, where meetings had
been held, were unrepresented, because
the Delegates were deferred by the in-
clemency of the day, from encountering
the discomiorts Of soaking ride. The
Convention was, however, sufficiently fuii
Tor all useful purposes, and the assertion
may be safely hazarded, that never was
there held in North-CarolIna more i'm
posing meeting. But few young men were
| present, the larger proportion of Delegates
being from the ranks of the venerable in
years, and the lrreproachable in character.
But It Is no purpose of ours, TO make any
labored eulogy on the character of the
Convention. Pressed, as we are, for time
and space, we can only, this week, CON-
munlcate lis proceedings 10 the public,
which has not been done without extraor-
binary effort on our part. Hereafter, we
may indulge in more extended commentary.
1t will be seen, that JOHN NJ. MORE
HEAD, Of Guilford, glorious Guiliord, has

,egrlty.
HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky, has been
also recommended for the Presidency, and

p. TALLMADGE Of New York, should
he be the nominee Of the National Conven.
ton for the Vice Presidency.
Governor 0wEN, Of Bladen, and JAMES
NrBANE, Of Caswell, were appointed State
Delegates to Harrisburg.
A faithful account of the Proceedings,
taken down in shorthand, will be found
sublolned-" nothing extenuated, or aught
sci down m malice" All that we profess
to give IS the spirit Of the Speakers
With these brief remarks. we willingly
trust the result of the labors of the Con-
ventlon with the people, having no fears
