EDITOR HAvK-EYE-Sir-The inquiry was made
through the Hawk-Eye of last week. why the Gov
ernor had not ordered the special election fof the
list Congressional District,-and it was suggested
that the Governor held the election back to give the
loco foco party leaders time to coax run Thomp-

in this town last Saturday and il was unanimously
agreed that Thompson's connection with the poll

that he must either be coaxed or driven from the
canvass. If loco convention is held the Lee del

will, to save appearances for Thompson, give him
their votes on the first ballot, provided he will
pledge himself privately to resign the nomination
instsnter, in case he gets it. When obtain the

We publish the above, capitals and italics, as we
ind it in the Gazette. 1t hardly needs comment,
only it furnishes us the opportunity OF referring
the people to Col. Warrens acts since he has filled
the office of Second Assistant Postmaster General.
The ssEx'' in the above perfect srafuity on the
part of the Gazette. 1t was doubtless put in as
sdaddy to the wish' of that paper. Col. WARREN is
more highly esteemed by the President and Cahi-
net than ever. His services are appreciated in
Washington, and there is no more prospect Of q
change in his Office than there is in that of the
President. Every one who visits Washington and
becomes acquainted with the mastery manner in
which he manages his business speaks in the high
est terms of Col. Warren's ability, and talents
Had he not triumphanty lived down the growlings
of the great mastis of the locofoco party, shod
feel bound TO take some more notice of the mop
erative snarlings of the little rheis that occasion
will continue TO shine,'' notwithstanding such
snarlings. The people Of Iowa certainly have
TO applaud Col. WARREN for his interchangeable Ia
bors in their behalf. Look at every portion of the
state, and all viii see that has been done in
the way Of mail facilities during his brief admins
tration, and through his fundamentally. in Iowa,
than was ever done before since admission in
to the Union. s. ..s
We are sorry to see this paHry and pc rsonal " ar
kept up against Col. Warren. II is ungentlemanly,
and must be unremunerating to his assailants. For
our own part we should like TO welcome Col. War
rem once more among us, US a large contributor TO
the States prosperity. His efforts in behalf of
Iowa show him to have been such. There are
men who have been compared to \ needle
they are sharp-pointed aud one-eyed. Such will
hardly see acknowledge any good traits in their
opponents. There are, however, multitndes in this
vicinity who, with us. would be glad to extend
cordial welcome to Col. Fitz Henry Warren, Sc
cond Assistant Post Master General, and when he
comes we shall let them know it.

place, was Of course q military possession. The
treaty added the title BY cesson to the already ex-
listing title by successful achievements in arms
The subject matter in dispute is between the United

Of New Mexico and Texas. The state constitution
OF New Mexico can have no validity until it is re-
cognized BY the United states. 1t will be the duty
OF the President to that the law imposed by the

guaEantees made eectual; and this is the plain and

COL. REID'S ADDRESS.

Col. Reds Address to the People of North Caro-
lima, setting forth his opinions on the Slavery ques
ton, Equal Suffrage, Judges by the People, &c. was
received at too late an hour to be inserted in this pa
per. 1t shall appear on Saturday next.
Col. Reid's Address is frank, full, and to the point
1t meets and puts to rest many of the lies and SLAM
derso Of the Federal leaders. There is no cant, dema-
gogueism, or trickery in it. Unlike Gov. Manly
COL Reid addresses himself to the reason and un-
derstanding of the people he would scorn to secure
his election by unworthy appeals, intended to arouse
the popular passions, by mistatements and mis-
representations.
Col. Reid replies to portions of Gov. Manly's
.Sodom'' Speech in an admirable and conclusive
manner. If his Excellency should "catch it" on
the stump he does in this Address. he will no doubt
wish himself in almost any other place but North
Carolina" Sodom " always excepted.
The North-Carolina standard., 1850-07-03
THE NOMINATION.

The nomination of Col. Reid by the Democratic
Convention as candidate for Governor, meets our
most cordial approba,ion does that OF every De-
mocrat in this section of the State. With Reid az
its standard-be in the approaching contest, the
Democratic party will 60 into the canvass with entire
confidence. Successful beyond anticipation two years
ago, we believe now, if the Democracy of North
Carolina will do its whole duty, that the election OF
Reid may be justly anticipated. full vote in the
Democratic counties two years ago, would have elect
ed him by handsome majority, and We see no rea-
son why as good vote should not be given him
in all other counties he received at that election
We say then that the Democracy have only to do
their whole duty, and the election Of their candidate
is beyond question.
Although Col. Reid had formally declined a re-
nomination, still we believe he is too true Demo-
crat to refuse to accept when it was rendered him
with such entire unanimity. Upon this conviction,
we presume, the Convention acted. But 1t matters
little whether he accepts not, mean TO sustain
him in the present canvass, and him alone.
And now let Us exhort our Democratic brethren to
be up and doing. The time is short, the candidate
alone can accomplish but little, and the work must
be done by you. Every man should consider himself
under positive obligation to do something; every
can do little, and he should 60 about it forth
with. We have for our candidate, man for whom
should delight to use every exertion 10 secure
to him votes enough to elect him. Ii such course
is followed, all will be WE'LL Nescder" Republican.
