to the people of North Carolina that the Demo-

of ffPennsylvania. TBefriends of Mr. Van Buren,,
of Col. Johnson, of Gem. Cass and indeed of all
wings of the party have acted like men ;sand
while we tender to each of these ilustrieus indi-
viduais, In their happy and honorable retirement,
the assurance of the abiding confidence, affection
and respect OF the democracy of North Carolina,
we nevertheless experience with peculiar satisfac-
ton this result of the joint Iabors efforts, and un-
rivallcd harmony of the Baltimore Convention
JAMES K. POLK is native of North Carolina.
He was born in Mecklenburg county, and if there
be any thing hallowed and timesurviving IN
Revolutionary services and sacrifices the name of
Polk is among the proudest and brightest in the
annals ofthe State. In 1775 the Polks were true
to North Carolina, and in 1874 North Carolina
will be true to their most illustrious descendant
In the name, then, of the Democratic National
Convention, and by the august authority of the
entire democratic party of the Union, we present
to the people of North Carolina the name. of
JAMES K. POLK as the Republican candidate
for President. There is no blot upon his bright
escutcheon His character is as pure, as lofiy, as
untarnished as that of the glorious County which
gave him birth, and upon whose soil the great
spirit of American liberty was born He has no
violated oaths to answer for !; he has challenged
no member for words spoken,in debate; he never
sold the vote of his State nor himself for base per-
sonal rewards, nor upheld and v1ndicated the
black federal flag of John Quincy Adams; he has
upon his bands no marks Of the bribes of an ire
sponsible and corrupt National Bank, neither up
on his brow the laurels which some men have
won from lordly manufacturers at the expense of
the honest and toiling millions. On the contrary,
from the first moment of his senrance into political
life he has stood up with the Republican party
against the advances of dangerous money power,
and in behalf Of good Government, of equal rights
and equal laws. What the Baltimore Republican
says we say L" In those days which tried mems
hrmness-in the battle between the PEOPLEi
and the MAMMOTH BANK-when the CON-
