manner, a. N The last campaign. " the sngrcs.
ton Of The Spectator Is adopted, the hall should

fore, TO see the question agiiaied Ut this time.
! Our ncghhors Of the Greensboroueh Patriot,
in allusion 10 this subject, expresses some fore,
holdings as 10 the result Of the next election fdi
Governor, unless The Wing candidate is placed
upon q platform embracing declaration in favor
Of an unrestricted Convention Of the People,
with view 10 State constitutional REFORM The
Patriot argues, ihai the Democrats have "ihe 20.
pular advantage ~ the State issues presented
by which We suppose il means the Free Suffrage
question; and seems 70 think they viii continue
70 hSd u, unless the Wings adopt and carry out
more wise ard decisive measures 10 vii, an
unresirietbd convention. We are inclined 10
think thai the Wing party will never consent 10
sdop, the platform suggested by our friends Of
the Patriot, for the reason that there is too much
honest difference Of opinion among Wings on tho
suhjeci-many ofthem being opposedto any alter.
alton in the constitution, and consequently apPOs.
cd tocalling convention for ,hepurposc; and
still larger portion Of them being opposed to mak-
ing the constitution the subject Of patty STRIFE
The most that can be expcctcd, therefore, Of
Wing convention, is a declaration similar to !
one formerly made. which the Patriot calls :
iirkeiy" platform. Our neighbors well know, that
the Wing patty is composed Of men who regard
principles as Of the first Importance, and success
as hnt secondary; while their opponents esteem
SUCCESS as the principal object TO be attained, and
only such principles are adopted as they think
will secure the end. Hence il is easy for tho
Democratic party TO adopt Free Suffrage, or any
other ohhy, and unite upon it; hut il has been
found inpraciicahe TO unite the Wing party up.
on Tins, o. any other similar issue. Whit, then,
Is 70 be done! The Free Suffrage question, NC.
yond doubt, will again I've brought forward 10 and
INC Democracy; aud can the Wings Withstand
