may possess all the antecedents and qualifications
which the writer claims for him, but allow me to say
that many of the Democracy have been looking in
another direction. They have been so strongly inn

ing devotion to democratic principles the high char
acter and popular and agreeable manners of the Hon.
John Ellis, of Rowan, that they desire to see him
nominated by the democratic party for the Guberna
toriai Office. Judge Ellis has repeatedly served in
the State Legislature democratic commoner from
the whig county Of Rowan, with great usefulness to
the State and credit to his party He is widely and
favoraby known in the State his judicial duties hav-
ing brought him in contact with every portion of it.
and his upright conduct and correct dspensation of
justice, pering i with mercy, have won for him
the highest praise wherever he has been That he
would make a successful canvass cannot doubt On
the whole am strongly impressed with the idea that
he is now the most available man we can nominate

considered in making the nomination" (
The last Wilmington Joernal says:
:" writer in the Fayetteville Caroinian of Satur-
day last suggests the name of Hon. John w. Ellis
now Judge of the Superior Court as the next De-
mocratic candidate for Governor of North Carolina
Judge Ellis is certainly able, trustworthy and popu-
lar and his course upon the bench has enhanced his
previous high standing with the people. He would
| receive a hearty support if nominated" :
We desire it to be distnty understood that We
express no preference for Governor 1t would not
become us to do so. We look to the Convention to
select worthy and available candidate, and who
| ever he may be, We shall give to him hearticst
support We entertain the strongest confidence in
the ability and determination of the Democratic par
ty to elect the nominee, and also majority in the
ensuing Legislature.
We have deemed it our duty to say thus much, as
have already published, and expect hereafter to
publish extracts and communications favoring the
nomination of different gentlemen Our friends who
may write upon the subject, will, we know, be care
full to say nothing against any of the distinguished
gentlemen who have been or who may be spoken Of
~ The Paris Constitutional has an editorial
likely to be read with pleasure and profit by all its
subscribers-an able and amusing article on the
happy situation of the American Secretary of the
do WITH and is dreadfuly afraid lest his onerous
| excess may become yet more bulky and unmanagea-
bic. His position is said to be unique in the world.
While all other ministers of finance, past present
and to come have supposed their duty consisted in
contrving to cut dow the expenses to the receipts
this model treasurer is striving to augment the ex-
penses so that they may swallow up the receipts.
The Constitutional declares frankly that it never

come, but cordially wishes the United States may
never find themselves in difficult pass. -
On the other hand some Of the European nations
are bankrupt, while England's debt is so immense
that she never hope to pay more than the inter-
est upon it. These debts have been incurred in wars
for subugating mankind, and in bringing the masses
of nations under the rod of few tyrants and aris
tocrats But the example Of the United States is 81
lently operating ali Europe and if we hold to-
gether as we believe we shall, and 60 forward for
the next fifty years gathering strength, and influence,
and power of WILL as every thing now indicates we

the last throne in Europe, and the establishment of
such governments in their stead as shall consult and
advance the greatest good of the greatest number.
/ Ey- The Washington Sentinel, which processes
friendship for the Administration, continues its at
tacks on Mr. Guthrie, and appears to be seriously
1 alarmed on account of the New York difficulties.
| The Sentinel says:
Discomfort peryades the country. The little cloud
has spread until it the political heavens The
discontents that at first confined to New York
have gained access to every State. The admnstra-
ton is implicated in them. The States all impli-
Gated in them. The people everywhere in the coun'
4 try have taken part in them. Congress, no doubt,
i will be implicated in like manner"
i We beg the Sentinel to be calm. The people in
this region are entirely unexcted-we hear of no
discomfort" nor have We yet seen that lowering
"cloudn The sun rose this morning with as glori-
i GUS an aspect as it usually wears. Congress, We
trust will attend to its legitimate business, and not
permit itself to be implicated" the Sentinel fears
+ it will be.
Wing MEETING. We learn that very small por-
tion-some thrty-of the Wings of Wake, held a
meeting in this place on Wednesday last Our igno'
rance as to what these pubc.spirted gentlemen die
is very profound but expect to be enlightened on
the subject by the Register Of to-day. We hope oul
Whig friends may have q good time of it when
. the get fairly under way.
