from The Convention, DC.
A sketch Of Mondays proceedings was
given in this paper on Tuesda, morning
Ga Monday night, the " Democracy" as
sembled 10 the Capitol, but the precise IA
turc Of their doings is not known. II has
been whispered, however, that there was
strong opposition to making nomination
for Governor at all, al this time, and under
the existing circupstances--.me
themselves seeing that the body now a.
sembled could not properly be termed a
State Convention.
On Tuesday morning, the Convention
again met with open doors, aud for some
time awaited the Report from tho Com
mit,ee Of twenly.six in awkward silence
Something was then read from he Clerk $
table, purporiing 10 be list Of the Wake
county delegation. Mr.. Wilder was s0er.
wards called upon for a speech, by one Of
the Secretaries and spoke briefly. Nr.
Xiegenfuss f7rxt addressed the Convention
in humorous and animated strain and was
followed BY Mr.. Loring in sort of rhap-
sodlcnl exhortation after which recess
Of twenty MINUTES was moved and agreed
to.
when the body again came 10 order,
some one announced that the Committee
could moi report sooner than a half hour
from that time. and an adjournment 10 2
O'Clock, P. H., was thereupon moved and
carried.
On meeting in the afternoon, some pro.
vision was made for paying the expenses
'of the Convention, and members very tar.
Oily dropped their respective mites upon
the Clerks table. After some further Dc.
lay, the anxionsly Looked FOR Report was
finally read. THE Reporter regrets that
his notes are too meagre to give on eracf
account Of the proceedings this afternoon,
as their publication to the State would ut
once be sufficient to show 10 all what an
ill-adyised and li-conducted affair the
whole was-liLerally +" A fash in the pan"
The Preamble and Resolutions we're re-
ported by the Chairman OF the Committee,
Gen. Joseph Allison and read by Colonel
Bheefer, their rcputed author. The Pre-.
amb!e primarily dcuounces the iamcn,ed
HarrisOn, and then dccaims against Wing
extravaganza the funeral expenses of the
deceased Patriot, the price Of gloves,
scarls, carriagc-hlre, &C., being particu.
larry and exutingIy cited IS proof. 1t
states that the promised prosperity has not
yet come over the country admits that
the Wings have great reason for failure
IN the death Of their President, but denies
that Iyier has deceived them, and dc.
nouncos this plea on the part Of the Wings
as san impious shelter under an act Of
Providence" Btddie and the Baaks, oc
course, come in for share of abuse. An
attempt is next made TO be both witty and
severe, at the expense Of Gov. Morehead,
coupling him wilh the millions who, dur.
ing the last election, were in favor of d
Bank, and elegantly saying that "if he
sings the same song next Summer, the
walls Of his Cotton Factory in Rocking
ham will hear his music, and not the Pal.
ace 10 Raleigh y In conclusion, il IS as.
snmcd that the people Of the State demand
a change in the Executive, because the
present Governor " has not done one sin.
