The Discussion in Raieigh.-.On Monday
last the candidates for Governor-Messrs Reid
and ManIy-met in this City, according 10
previous appointment The discussion occu-
ppd from six 10 seven hours. Col. Reid led
off at TWO O'Clock, and spoke unit after four
Mr. Manly spoke until sundown, after which
Col. Reid replied al length. In our next we
shall present our readers with full account
OIL this discussion
Beyond all question Mr. Manly, with all
his anecdotes and COOL humor, was utterly
overwhelmed by the facts and Arguments ad,
yanced by Col Reid. We never hal the plea
sure of hearing our candidate before on the
stump We expected powerful effort, but
our expectations were more than realized.
His Speech was fair, liberal, dignifed, and
argumenlative, and it presented mass of facts
which no Wing could have answered; but
what shall we say of Mr., Manly? There never
was, perhaps, so much dema-oguesm display
ell on any occasion as that which characterize
ell Mr.. Man!y's Speech on Monday last; but
We have no room for comments to day.
We are glad 10 have it in our power to state
that Col. Reds health has considerably impro-
we'd, and we indulge the hope that he will be
able TO convass thoroughly and vigorously
until the August election.
