The County ppoins,nent Of OeIegases.
Il is highly important and necessary for the inter
ests and harmony of the Democratic party of this
county, that every Captains District should be fully
in the County Convention, to be held in
this town, on Tuesday of June Court. We would,
therefore, at the request of several Democrats who
reside in the country suggest to the citizens OF the
several Districts in the country, that favorable
opportunity for the selection of delegates to the Con-
vention, will present itself at the musters to be
held in the said districts the first Saturday an May
next. Let US haze full representation, and harmo-
NY must and will characterize the proceedings of the
Convention, and its nominees will receive the warm
and united support of the party.
We understand that there will be a muster held
in every Captains beat in the county the day spe
cifcd--the first Saturday in May. Kobetter oppor-
tunity could be desired for the appointment of dele
gates and we do hope that friends will not for
get to avail themselves of it. We append to these
remarks, the resolutions calling the Convention:
County Convention.
The following preamble and resolutions were unan-
imously adopted at the meeting of the Democratic
party of New Hanover county, held at the Court
House in Wilmington, on the 18th of March, 1880:
WHEREAS there exists in the former delegation
New Hanover county in the Legislature of this State and
whereas heretofore been the custom of the Democrat
party Hanover county to hold county conventions

The last Fayetteville North Carolinian proposes a
postponement of the Democratic State Convention
to the 18th of June and asks the views of the Demo
cratic press upon the subject. The reasons given by
the Carolinian for making the suggestion are, that
as yet comparatively few counties have held meet
ings and that if the Convention be held on the 18th
of May, the day at present agreed upon, the atten
dance at Raleigh will be very small. We might al
so add that the 18th of May comes in about the bu
siest season of the year We think these
sufficient to justify postponement without any 9th
ers; and, indeed we see none other that proper
ly be urged.
IF our friends think that fuller attendance at the
Convention can be secured by deferring the time o
its meeting until June, perfectly satisfied tt
assent to that arrangement. But we would here dis
tinctly state that we can and will accede to no ar
rangement or compromise by which the Convention
may be indefinitely postponed the party left with
out candidate at the next election. We say this
because, if we recollect Alright the proposition ha
been made in some of the federal papers that if tn
democrats will offer no opposition to the reelection
of Gov. MANLY, they would be allowed to elect thel
candidate two years hence.
