WON'T GO THE SEWARD CAND1DArE.

WON'T GO THE SEWARD CANDIDATE.
Col. Thomas Waddill, Of Fayetteville, has pub.
ished Cardin the Carolnan, setting forth his
ons for not supporting Gen. Scott. He says:
81 see by the Observer of this days date that ]
have been named as of the Vice Presidents OF the
Scott and Graham Club. recently formed in this place.
The political opinions of an humble private citizen
are of no consequence except to himself; yet l can
not consent to be placed in false position before the
public, and with such lights as now have, cannot
act with such of my wing friends as deem it their
duty to aid in the election of Gen. Scott the Pres
idency of the United States. In common with the
Wings of this place was opposed to the nomination
of Gen. Scott by the Wing National Convention, for
reasons which we all thought were nsurmountable.
After the nomination, when others were denosncing
the nominee, withheld any farther expression of
opinion, hoping that the Southern members of that
Convention had satisfactory Lights and that he
lights would in due time he seen by the masses Of
the party. This hope has vanished, and regret to
say | disappointed IS The nomination eeith the
resolutions is accepted This matter of course.
Any aspirant for political Preferment would have
done as much. Seward anu Co. could not have done
less. From the spirit which think is infused into
that letter of acceptance forced to the eonclu-
sion that the nominee with his freeso friends took
the resolutions Con,prOmise-not that they loved
the principles. but that they loved power and the
emoluments of Office better.
The Baltimore Wing Platform is broad enough and
strong enough for all the republican wings of Amer
lea to stand upon, and am sorry that Gen. Scott
did not spring on it, hammer in hand, mailing down
every board and cnching the other side. This he
does not do. HeaPproaches with great caution, with
new plank under each arm, to bait the Western
squa;ters and European paupers.
1t Gen. Scott is elected it must be by the Freesol
party. His nomination came from that quarter, and
according to longestabshed party usages his friends
must share with him the loaUes and fishes 1t would
be ungrateful in him to deny them. This puts the
great leader in the line of safe precedence, and Wm
H. Seward is the nominee Of the Wing Party for the
Presidency in 1885, and this glorious Confederacy is
split into atoms.
The Union Of the States with the Constitution
given US by fathers, should be the of every
republican wing. With these sentiments honestly
conceived, cannot, unless some very great change
passes over my mind, aid in the election of General
Winfield Scott. T. WADDILL.

MARK THE FACT!

"Ion,'' of the Baltimore Sun, says g Mr.. Sew
ard and MIR. Thaddeus Stevens it is said, show their
high estimate of Mr.. Toombs' speech by ordering
hundred thousand copies of it for circulation in
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. They and all
the soil wings accept for Gen. Scott the position
that Mr.. Toombs gives him.
Mr.. Toombs, our readers are aware, has denounced
the nomination of Gen. Scott and refuses to support
him on the ground that he is the preferred candidate
of Seward and the Wing Freesoilers, and committed
to their views and schemes. So it seems that truth,
uttered by Southern Wing, is to be used North for
the purpose of advancing Seward, and of stirring up
aresh the prejudices of the Wings in that quarter
against the South

A SPIRITED DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

The Democrats of Raleigh and vicinity held a
meeting on Saturday night last, at the Court House,
which was marked by good speaking and much en-
thusiasm. Perrin Busbee, Esq, was called to pre-
side and Maj. Jere. Nixon appointed Secretary. Mr..
Busbee opened the meeting with one of his best and
most telling efforts. His Speech though necessarily
bref-owing the fact that distinguished strangers
| were present who were expected to speak-was new
erheless crowded with important facts and produced
a fine effect. AS he had finished loud calls
were made for Thomas Bragg, Esq, of Northamp-
ton, and William B. Rodman, Esq, of Beaufort, who
were in the City in attendance the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Bragg spoke first. He examined at some length
the position of the Wing party and lis candidates, and
did full Justice the merits of Pierce and King:
We need not say more than that the Speech was in
every respect worthy of Mr.. Braggs high reputation
for ability and eloquence.
Mr.. Rodman was next called up, and spoke for
more than half an hour. He showed the utter un-
soundness of the Wing candidate for President on
the Slavery question, exposed the associations and
influences which produced his nomination, and which
must control him if elected and vindicated Oh the
other hand, the soundness of the Democratic nonl-
nee and his high claims to our support His remarks
added his reputation public speaker, and were
received with warm applause.
Gen. Saunders was next called out, and spoke TOT
half hour in his strongest style. He put the va
rious points involved in the campaign in the most
mastery manner, calling forth warm and prolonged
applause from TIE audience.
A Committee was appointed to report permanent
officers and rules for the government of a PIERCE

has consented to become candidate for the Senate
in this County. Mr.. Freeman is gentleman OF

of recording his election.

County! Where is our friend, Thomas H. Spell er,

your County; if you fail. you will fail in noble
cause; but the chances, it seems to US, must be in
your favor. Every majority doctrine speech made
in BERTHE by the Wing candidates. will be speech
against Berthe; every anti-Free-Suffrage speech will
be speech against Mr.. Winston and this noble
principle of free government which he so ably advo-
Gated at the last session; and every Scott speech
will be speech for Seward and his gang, so stern
ly and justly denounced by your Representative, Mr.
Outlaw.
