"a For the Journal.
MEssRs. -ED1roRs-As the time is approaching
when suitable person is to be selected as the Dem
ocratc candidate for Governor of the State might
not be amss for those who to make the selection
to consider few pros aud con'S" to whom they
should choose; or, rather, whom they should not
choose. AS some of the prominent members Of the
last Legislature of North Carolina have rendered
themselves famous by advocating of the promi-
nent measures of that superlativey famous body it
may be thought, and probably, is thought, by some
that some one of them Gas we can't have but one
Governor at time) have thereby acquired title to
promotion and should, " in consideration of their
eminent public services DO rewarded with the NOM
ination.
Whether such nomination would be q wise one
is at least doubtful 1t is true they have squander
ed, or provided for squandering the public money
with lavish hand and have thereby endeared
themselves, no doubt, to those who expect to have
the handling and special benefit of that twenty-five
hundred thousand dollars. But whether the people
of the State at large feel fattered by thus having the
honor and the special privilege of being taxed for
the benefit of the President Directors and Company
of this modern trinity of corporate deities, remains
to be seen.
Our wise and wiley ones have Modified Raleigh by
giving her Miss D1xs doll, called 'Lunatic Asy-
lum." Fayetteville, also, besides her failure of
Plank Road, has been quoted by giving Bank-a
veritable shin-plaster factory-which said Bank is
authorized and empowered without let or hindrance
to flood the country with dollar bills and there
by to drive gold and silver entirely from circulation
Where's the use of gold dollars, when this pet can
supply the whole world and the rest of mankind with
paper ones, and no thanks to California
Truly our prominent Democrats of the Legislature
have done wonders, and ought every man of them,
to be made Governors, something else.
But what became of Free Suffrage Thai was
looked upon rs a Democratic doctrine. But did they
support it What became of the petitions that were
sent, praying modification Of our disgraceful and
| burdensome County Court system
| But these were measures intended and calculated
to benefit the common people only and therefore they
could not stand in the congregation of the arstocra
cy-that is among corporations and exclusive priv
ileges
| But it remains to be seen whether Raleigh, Fay
ettevle Wilmington, and the trio of Railroads, be
North Carolina-it also remains to be seen whether
will retain their seats when these same Road com
panies come to ask for more money to carry on th,
/ work. III
tell you, Mr.. Editor, think if a Governor is t.
be made of such materials, you will find other coun
ties disloyal as well as SAMPSON.
