The County Candidates.

AS will be seen by communication in another col.
umn, John A. Sanders, Esqr., the Senatorial Candid
ate, selected at the late county Convention held in
Wilmington on the 15th of June last, declines being
longer considered candidate for seat in the Senate
OF the next Legislature In taking this step feel
convinced that MIR. Sanders has been acuated by the
purest motives and with single eye 10 the harmony
of the party.
In this position Of afars-there being no regular
Candidate for the Office of Senator from this county,
thrown back upon the spontaneous action OF
the Democratic people, and we have an abiding conf
dence that they will make such selection will pro
mote the harmony of the democratic party and the good
ofthe county large. We feel assured that in any
a good and true Democrat will be returned. OF course,
in this emergency columns open, and shall
be happy 10 receive and publish the suggestions OF
Democratic friends.
Messrs Strange and Corbett, the regular candidates
for the Legislature still in the field. We have no
wish to the of denuncation, but we cam
not in accordance with our known and Oft proclaimed
views convention men-as men desIrous OF uphold

are the humble organ, view any other gentlem en-
whose names may be brought forward by themselves,
or others, in any other light than opposition can

the sake of that party and of its organization,
but beg friends TO permit themselves to yield to
Temporary clamor-no clap-trap appeals.
1t will be seen that Mr.. J. D. Powers has announ-
ced himself candidate for the House of Commons
For Mr.. Powers personally, we have the highest
spect, both as a man and Democrat; but with his
present position cannot sympathise. The candi-
date himself of former Convention his position is
certainly consistent one. tits not with which
Mr.. Powers himself can feel satisfied, at ease

ate Convention did not give satisfaction, We are
o bame-we used every effort to call public at
ION to it, and TO request delegates to be sent. II
delegates were not properly sent-primary meetings
properly attended, the blame rests with the absen
tees-nOt with those who were present. We hope
this will teach lesson in future-a little attention
in time saves much heartburning afterwards. We
still keep the of Robert Strange Jr and Johr
A. Corbett at the head of columns, and we still
urge upon the democratic citizens of New Hanover
to give them their support, as being good democrats
unexceptionable gentlemen and the nominees. W.
have done our duty, and will now pay attention
to the State canvass.

FOR the journal.
MEssas. EDITORS Il regret to see from the Daily
Journal of this date, that John A. Sanders ESQ., has
declined being considered candidate for seat in
the next Senate. Our party is therefore, now with
out Senatorial candidate, and have to fall back
upon some other good and true Democrat to fill the
place for which MIR Sanders had been selected by
the convention. which assembled in Wilmington on
the 18th June last. We have a number of gentle
men in our party we'll qualified to fill the place.
But in casting about amongst them however it ap-
pears to me that the name of JAMES KERR of Up
per Black River would give very general satisfac-
ton. His has, at various times to nv
knowledge, been mentioned in connection
with this Office | know that Mr. Kerr prefers
to remain in private life, but it is not to be suppo
sed that he would hesitate for a moment in serving
bis fellow citizens in whatever capacity they might
desire Under these circumstances, | would most
respectfully suggest his fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the withdrawal of Mr. Sanders am
well satisfied that the Democratic party will be
pleased to honor him with their suffrages

In the position which we have taken in favor of
adhering to- and supporting the nominations made
by the recent Convention in this county. we have
acted strictly from feeling of duty to our party
We could have had no personal feeling in the mat
ter. We had nothing to do with the nominations,
and very little acquaintance with the majority of the
nominees But we dislike much-very much indeed
to signs of disorgauization, at time when an
opposite course is so desirable and so necessary
There is no cheaper cant in the world than that a.
ganst Conventions nothing in the world easier
than TO attribute to those who defend them wish
to dictate. But the public must judge for themselves
of that and we rest confident that in this
matter cannot be misunderstood. AS Democrat
occupying the position we do-zealous are fol

other course open for us-we felt bound to cast
infuence-small though it might be-in favor Of
regular nominations unless some reasons were addu
ced sufficiently strong to convince that such course
was improper, the nominees undeserving These
things have not been done, and we can but respect
fully urge upon the party an adherence to what We
know has been the usage here, what we think a
and should still be the usage and which, in the
main, works better than any other 1t is for the vo
tiers of New Hanover county to do as they please
AS for the varict gen: emen whose have beer
mentioned in opposition-they are highly worthy
and respectable and we can only obje- to the po
si;ion which they are made to occupy. IS for the
attacks which arc made upon in various ways
they are either made under misconception of oul
motives or it may be. in some few instances, from
less worthy feelings However this may be, we pass
them by, conscious that the authors themselves will
see the injustice of their course.
We could wish that there existed better anG
more harmonious feeling towards the nominations
STILL we can only repeat our earnest request-ou'
fixed opinion--in favor of supporting the nomina
tions as essential to the harmony of the party.
