ourned till to-day. The proceedings excite great in
lerest and committee of twenty.one was appointed

The name Of Col. David Outlaw has been spoken Of
in connection with the whg nomination for the next
gubernatoral chair. 1t is than likely that John
Kerr, Esq., will be the candidate, and It so, there 10
no use in introducing the names OF other gentlemen
at this late day, in connection with the matter. But
should MIR. Kerr decline the nomination, we know Of
no one, who would make stronger run than Col.
Outlaw-he would certainly poll Inc entEe sIengtn
of his party in the East.
But lay party aside, and we have no great objec.
ton TO Governor Reid !; we believe he makes good
officer and the people will fare we'll under his ad-
mins,ration as they would under the administration
of any body else. lie is in favor Of the re-opening
of Nag's Head Inlet, and is liberal in dealing
Justice to all sections as any other politician would
be. If we have occasion 10 speak of public ser
van it is our duty do him justice, and believe
that there are many worse than David S. Reid.
We speak of him as an individual, and party.
Party has become corrupt, and the rights of the people
assaed, and their interests nfrnged upon. by party
political deagogues in all quarters and the people
must keep a watchful eye upon them, IN order
to move on in harmony and prosperity.
