Mr.. HOLDEN: In the Greensboro Patriot of 29th
ult, is article on the Democratic Convention in
which the Western delegates are charged with mis-
representing their constituents in giving their ap-
proval to the 7th resolution in the platform. 1t
is a charge that cannot be substantiated
Have the Democrats in any County represented
in that Convention ever demanded any change in
the basis? Has not Gov. Reid always taken the
strongest ground against any alteration in the basis
whatever, and obtained larger vote in the West
than any other Democratic candidate did
These facts which the Editor CT the Patriot
not deny yet he has the erontery insinuate that
Western Democrats opposed to the present basis
of representation.
1t i'll becomes the Patriot to talk about party
screws and Misrepresentation" Western Wings
have heretofore been clamorng for open and
restricted Convention for the avowed purpose of
changing the basis. Did not the Editor of the Pat
riot approve of the following resolutions adopted by
the Wings of Henderson and Buncombe? If SO,
how can he support Gen. Dockery?
ResoIoed, That we regard an unrestricted Con-
vention of the people the only proper republican
mode of amending our Constitution
ResoLoed, That with a view of securing this para
mount object, will, without reference to former
party distinctions, nominate candidate for the Of
flee Of Governor and request HIM to the
tire State placing his election this issue in order
that the people may be fully enlightened and arous
ed to the Importance of this movement"
In 1854 they meet in Convention and inscrbe up
on the 9th plank of their platform: " We recon-
mend to the Legislature to call Convention, and in
submitting the election of Delegates to the people
resentation in the Legislature, Now, we would
respectfully ask the Patrios tlequired an appli-
cation of party screws = to induce w estern Wings

MAY-DAY AT SUNNY SOUTH.

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me, through your columns
to speak of coronation l witnessed at Sunny
South, where there is Select School under the care
of Mrs. c. c. Rickers, formerly of New York City,
but for the past six years a successful teacher in
North Carolina. The day beautiful, clear, cool
Spring day. and the rays of the bright sunshine
seemed magcaly to have called from the Floral re-
gioris rich prOfuSion of flowers with which the
throne was gaily decorated The beautiful Oak
Grove which surrounds the School House had as
sumed the habments of green Spring, and all
around seemed to favor the appropriateness of the
time and occasion. The Queens Party consisting
retired to grotto near by to arrange flowers and
form their stately procession, which. returning
they marched and marked time to the dulcet strains
of the violin, played by Tourney, preceded by four
Maids of Honor who at stated periods crossed their
wands, under which the party marched with great
precision Arriving at the rosrum the song of Spring
was sung by the whole party, after which Madeline
NJ Crenshaw knelt at the base of the throne and the
Archbishop, Nancy NJ. Strickland, addressed her in
neat and timely speech and placed on her fair brow
a beautiful crown. The Bishop, Arkcy Ii. Baincs,
made appropriate remarks and presented the royal
sceptre after which the Queen arose and was duly
seated on the throne, when the party sang The
Daisys' peep from every field" when the Queen de-
lvered her coronation address, Ga very chastc classic
production composed by Mrs. Rickers (which was pro-
nounced in dignifed manner, at the close of which
some ten twelve small girls danced around the
throne to the beautiful air of "Wd Wood Flowers"
Select pieces were then appropriately pronounced by
the girls, and the modest simplicity and confidence
which characterized their department reflect very
great credit their teacher, which example power
fully demonstrates that she is competent master to
