of the 9Th of January Convention ;-and by their

Carolimian for meeting of the Democracy of
Cumberland, and similar notice in the Lincoln
Courier, for meeting in Lincoln at the December
Court These signs are cheering. They indi-
cate that our friends in North Carolina are wide
awake 10 the importance of organization and con-
cert of actioa-that they are determined to make
grand struggle to redeem the State next August
Let us have full Convention of the right SORT
of men-spread out the broad banner of our prin
cipes before the people, and enter the field uni
ted and well organized, and victory is certain
In particular do we desire to see full Delegation
from the Western Counties; and we therefore

The I" Raleigh Standard /" cordially subscribes
to the position which we have taken in regard to
Oregon. 1t says: ,,sa4 >sieso
s'Thc democracy ofthis country will stand to It's
word the President will be sustained, and the
arrogant claims Of Englan will be met as they
should be. Thus much as TO Oregon. But there
is another matter which we would bring to the
notice or consideration Of the 'Union,' to Wit ::
the present hostile attitude of Mexico towards the
United States Is Mexico to BE- permitted 10 re.
main substantially in state of war towards US !;
to be allowed 10 insult and denounce our govern
ment by manifestoes; to force us to keep five
thousand troops at Corpus Christi at an increased
expense TO the War Department. while at the
same time, she owes our citizens large sums OF
money? If this state of things should continue
through the ensuing session of Congress, it may
go indefinitely, or cease only when Mexico
chooses. Contemplate and weak we know she
is; but would Congress and the President pPrmi
England, or any leading power, 10 play with i'm
punity such a game as Mexico is playing
Doubtless this matter will occupy, at an early pc
riod, the attention of Congress; and we have onlN
to ndd the hope that such steps will be taken a
will most completely rebound to the honor ant
welfare Of the republic"
We respectfully reply to the " Standard" tina
we cannot doubt both the Executive and Congress
will do their duty in the premises, if Mexico doe
not: in the meantime, open the door for ncgota
ton and give US good reason to believe that sh
will terminate this idle game Of procrasination.

Mr. EDIToR: We are pleased move
ment making the democratic party TO bring out
a candidate for Governor II indicates the same
spirit which achieved such glorious democratic
victory last August, and which will insure us an
increased triumph next summer. We ask for no.
thing but good leaders, and the people will always
rally under the standard Of repubicanism.
But, who shall be candidate for Governor ?
am tolerably conversant with public opinion in
our section Of the State, and can candidlY and
without hesitation declare that we have no section
al or local preferences prejudces the subject.
All we ask is who he is, not where he comes
from. In fact, the friends of none Of our Eastern
democrats are urging their claims, though there
are so many who deserve it. We are proud OF
their distinguished services but we believe those
services are devoted the promotion of their
principles and party, and not themselves. =
In this feeling we are looking to the West for
some leader, in the appro aching election. We re-
member with pride the exertions of her HoKE
Give US such another candidate from the same re-
pIon, and we ask for no more certain triumph
There is man in the mountain region, who is
not much known in political proceedings but
of whom report speaks so favorably that we are
all enlisted in his behalf refer TO Col. ISAAC T
AVERY, of Burke. To sound political principles
he unites the habits of of business, and The
accomplishments of gentleman. His talents and
acuuirements have been too long lost to the service
of his State; but having never engaged in the
scramble for public Offices, his unblemished private
character presents the signal advantage of candl
date whom the venom Of detraction could mol
reach and in these degenerate times, 1t Is nc
small advantage 10 bring forward a man whose
| life and pust conduct can defy the rancour and
malignant Vaccinations of party aspirants.
Let the friends of Col. AVERY bring him for
ward, and the Eastern democracy will rally it:
ranks with that enthusiasm which will secure vic

may be mistaken, but we judge by the ear-Inarks "

Truly, the Register is most accomplished

But seriously, we call upon him to be more ex

what he does not choose to say openly and dis
tinclly, or TO make what amounts to positive as
