is for their good laboring- for their rights

better than his party, can vote for Gov. Manly.
And we do not intend to pursue middle course
We conceive it to be our duty to exercise our prvi

like to vote for Democrat-one who differs from Us
on questions Of Federal policy. But with questions
of that kind the Governor of North Carolina has
nothing to do. There questions of State policy

support to the Hon. DAVID S. REID for the Office Of
Governor of North Carolina
The Banner is leading Wing paper in Western
Carolina, and exerts commanding influence in ,ha,
portion of the State 1t has written the doom of the
Central Whig Power in language not to be mistak-

advocates Of STATE REFORM and We count upon
large accessions to Col. Reid in Rutherford and The
surrounding Counties Put us down for clear
gain of FIVE HUNDRED in the County of Ru.

them in that region-wiIl labor with desperation
against the Peoples Candidate; but the hearts of
the people are with him, and he must triumph
We copy from the same number of the Banner the
following brief bit scorching notice Of Gov. Man.
ly's Sodom " Speech
!" Gov. MANLY's SPEECH. This is very strange
document. 1t is said that it was read to the Conven
ton. The Governor knew that the Convention, al
though in the language of the Greensborough Patriot,
there might be some doubt on their first assembage,
as to the propriety Of re-nominating him, would be
drilled into submission and he therefore prepared his
speech. 1t is poor, tame, and spritless affair. 1t
recommends no principle, advocates no measures
or State affairs. It deals in general denunciation Of
the Democrats, laudation of the Wings, and hasa very
pretty eulogy on Taylor and the Unon-contains
some good poetry in rhyme, and some which we used
to quote in schoolboy days, is turned into origin.
al prose. 1t is not in concord with the resolutions Of
the Convention. Surely he ought to have contended
for the platform Of the Convention. If this prepared
speech would not fit, he ought to have published one
that would fit. The whole speech is schooIboy
affair, and is just like the efforts his Excellency
doubt heard at Chapel Hill the week before. The
Raleigh Register calls the Governor profound, able,
eloquent. Ii his speech is the evidence upon which
he POUNDS his opinion, we think no one will concur

tangible in it. 1t proposes nothing, opposes moth

is in bad taste, and many Of the expressions are low
and vulgar. 1t is unworthy OF one who is Governor
