A WESTERN DEMOCRAT.
MESsRS. REID AND KERR.

We learn from the last Caroinan that the s. inn
preston left by Gov Reid on the audience in the
discussion between himself and Mr.. Kerr the 7;h
in Fayetteville, "was highly favorable, and his tri-
umphant vndicaton of his own course and of the
principles and of his party, gave entire
sfacton to his friends" That paper says:
Gov. Reds remarks the resolution of the
Wing Convention proposing to submit the question
of Convention to the popular vote, exceeding
ly forcible He adverted to the position of Mr. Kerr
and the position of the Wing Party ofNorth Carroll
ma, that bare numerical - majority Of the people
have right to rule in government" He admitted
that this is the republican doctrine in all
where a majority of the people have not parted with
that right, but went on 10 show from the COnstitu
ton of North Carolina that the majority had parted
with their right to amend the Constitution of the
State, by freely and voluntarily adopting Constu
ton which contains a provision which excludes all
change in itself except al the instance of tc0hirds
vote of botIi Houses of the Legislature. If the
joriiy therefore still retains the amend
State Constitution then that instrument is nuNty.
Gov. Reid admitted the great fundamental principles
Of the right Of maioty of the people to rer0utiOn
ize-to throw off their government whenever it shall
become instrument of tyranny and oppression, but
contenGed that under State Constitution the
jority have not the civil right change the Consttu
tion. Mr. Kerr endeayored to explain himself in re-
laton 10 this question by saying that it true that
the Constitution does contain provision that no
Convention shall be called except by two-thirds
vote in each House of the Legislature, but if the
voice of the majority were once pronounced, who
would be found to oppose it! He then in
sstng on the right of the majority rule in gov
ernment, and insisted that their decision should be
final on the question of calling Convention.
The discussion was prolonged until about O'Clock
in the evening, when Gov. Reid concluded. On the
whole, we believe that the impression made by Gov.
Reid was excellent. The vote of Cumberland coun-
ty in the ensuing Governors election will show that
he still occupies the high position in the afec
items of her democracy former y. He has en-
deared himself to them by his gallant advocacy of
Free Suffrage, and they will be led off from
his support by any of the false lights which the Wing
Party holding up to view

One of the Washington Correspondents of the
Baltimore Sun, neutral paper, thus speaks of the
Democratic nominee
franklin Pierce, the nominee of the Democratic
National Convention, is the of revolutionary
hero, who fought in the battles of Bunker's Hill,
Lexington and Concord He born in 1904, at
Hiilsborough, N. H., and graduated at Bowdoin
College, Maine-studied law, and commenced a
lucrative practice in Hillsborough county. He was
elected early Gay the Legislature of his State,
and shortly after elected speaker of the House.
In 1884 he elected to Congress, in which body
he filled prominent and conspicuous place till 1888,
at which period he became Senator of the United
States; and served till 1923. He resigned his seat
in the Senate and returned to private life and the
practice of the law in 1913.
In 1916 he nominated for Governor of the
State but declined. President Polk offered him the
Attorney Generalshp, which he also declined pre-
ferring private to public life.
In lS4S he volunteered soldier in the Mexican
war, (not oficer) and was appointed the first
Colonel of the regiments then raised for the ser
vice of the United States. Subsequently, when a
number of new Major Generals were appointed, he
was made Brigadier General
He lost no time repair the field of battle, and
reached Vera Cruz early enough for all the battles
fought from the landing of the u. S. troops to the
capture of the Halls OF the Monezumas in the city OF
Mexico.
General Pierce's nomination lisa thoroughly nation
al one. The record of his life is that of honest,
unobtrusive patriot who only sought public life to
serve his country in the hour Of danger.

CONGR ESS.

This body appears to be still engaged, for the most
part, in discussing the question of the Presidency.
On the 18th inst, Mr.. Cabell, Wing, of Florida,
made bold, eloquent, and most fearless assault on
the Scott and Seward wing Of the party he asserted
that Gen. Scott stands before the country the
didae of the higher law party, with paddock
his lips, and bis principles in Stewards breeches
pockets He warned the Wing Convention not to
sacrifice principles and the cause of the Union to
policy, and told them if they did, the curses of be-
trayeG constituency would follow them to their
graves"
On the 18th, Mr. Gentry, Wing, of Tennessee,
spoke in the same vein. We make the following ex-
tract from his remarks given in the Republic, of
that day:
MIR. G., during his remarks. said that the Demo-
Gratis in the Baltimore Convention had. to the extent
party organization enabled them, natonalIzed them
selves on this question. They had noby, honorably,
and patriotcally come up the necessities of the
times, recognising the binding obligations of the Con
stitution North and South, and anxious to give
peace, tranquility and permanence to the Union The
Wing party he insisted, must natonaIIze itself at
Baltimore, cease to exists and 1t ought to cease to
exist unless it shall Nationalist ITSELF He was not
seeking to break up the Wing party, but to purify
and naiionalize it. If that cannot be done, it should
be destroyed. g If this be treason, make the most
of it, and bow out of the party, if you please.
Mr.. Gentry and Mr.. Cabel replied to by the
traitor Stanly. He ridicued platforms as humbugs,
and took ground against the endorsement by the
Wing Convention of the " compromise measures.
He said platform by the Wings embracing the
q" COMPROMISE would create sectional party, and
therefore it was better to avoid the test
The action of the Senate, for the last three or four
days, is not important.

with success, but believe my gratitude to you could
not have been greater. IL What has been done have
received an additional evidence of the kind regard
with which you have ever honored me-a kindn

nomination has fallen upon native of State,
whose fame has already shed lusre upon the land of
his birth. sure his name will inspire far more
enthusiasm than that of the humble individual whom
you sought to honor.
The selection made by the late Baltimore Conven-
ton was altogether fortunate, though in
cordance with previous wishes. Gen. Pierce
has not hitherto been so well known among US, but
allow me on this occasion 10 bear my testimony II
his high merits. had the pleasure of serving with
him in the Senate of the United States, and hon.
ored with his friendship; and with whom
there associated has been more kindly remembered
by me. He possesses clear head and a gener-
Gus and manly heart and no can know him but
esteem and honor him. If Southern sun had
warmed him into life, he could have been a better
representative of the Southern people.
OF Col. KING need say nothing. He is known
to US ALL and to say that know him is to say thai
respect him.
OF such leaders party is justly proud; and
with the principles inscribed upon their banner tina

crowded with wounded soldiers expressed his feeling
by distributing large sum of money among the un-

pended it among his men. He also. by influence or
