The seconaRroposirion wa, opposed by
Mr.. A. r. Kelly, of Moore, who stated
hat he w91 unwilling to send for one with.
gu, havTg all the Candidates Present-he
was uYkilling 10 trea, any with disrespec',
and N send for ali would consume too much
Air. remberion retired TO consult with
ks friends, AMI in short time they re.
turned and took seals as members of the
Convention.
Had the proposition been acceded to, to
send for The Candidates, there is very it,
tie doubt that the object of the Convention
would have been entirely frustrated.
After The Convention was fully organ.
lied, and the names of all the Delegates
registered, motion was made that the DIFF
! ierenl delegations retire 10 themselves and
select two persons from each, TO constitute
a committee TO report a plan for voting
This being done, the Convention adjourn.
ed to 3 o'clock, P. ", 10 give the Com.
mittee time 10 adopt such plan as they
could agree upon.
Al 3 o'clock, when the Convention as.
sembled, the Committee made their report
which was unanimously agreed tc.
The proposition was then made and a.
greed to, that the deleg-,.ons now retire
and agree among themselves how they
should cast the vote Of the county they re.
presented, il being understood tina, where
the delegation was divided the vote of the
county might also be divided. In short
time the result was made known. II was
a lill,s remarkable, tia, without any pre-
vious understanding the selection should
be made at the first ballot; but it was sp-
parent to all tina, the sooner this could be
accomplished, the better for our cause, Sc
that many resolved 10 waive individual pre-
ferences to create unanimiiy. As far q:
the delegation from Mecklenburg was con
cerned, such result, was not supposed lc
be possible.
When it was announced that Edmund
Deberry had received the nomination or
the first ballot, their was evident pleasure
on the countenances Of large majority o.
the Convention, and all seemed to breathe
: freer, for no, one person was prepared 70
, such a result, and although some expect
ed different result, we could see no trac,
Of an unwilingness to bow TO It's decision
3 fore the resolution unanimously nom
mating the Hon. Eimuud Deberry was a
dop'ed, several gentlemen made short, tu
very appropriate remarks relative to TN
result, and the pleasure II gave them
" OIL had been cas-, on the waters" as Mr.
/ Johnston, Of Charlotte remarked, an
: the storm was assunged,"
Mr. J. D. Pemberton came forward an
) pledged himself TO support the nominee
when he said this whl, a ralIlng Of fee
E followed J he also stated tina, although b
was not authorised TO make any pledges 70
0 Gen. Dockery, yet he believed be woul
l submit willingly to the nomination. Whe
J., he concluded round Of applause followe
4 him.
a I'VE ATE pleased to state here that Nj
d Pemberton was right, for we learn from
c gentleman who was IN marlborough
0 day or two ago, that Gen. Dackery wa
2 there and that it was understood that b
j. had declined.
}, A committee was appointed to inforr
n Mr. D.berry Of his nomination, and W
n are pleased 10 being able to lay their LEI
