WAKE c0uNTY


We learn that the Convention of the Democrats of
Wake which assembled in this City on Monday last,
vas one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever
held for the county. The following ticket was NOM
mated: Senate, CASTOR II. WILDER; Commons, n.
e. RAND, ALsET HUNTER, and WILSON W. WHITAKER.
Maj Wilder is long tried and most faithful De-
mOcrat, and has heretofore served the County
peatedly in the Commons with much usefulness and
ability. We especially gratifed at his nomi-
nation. 1t was due to him for his fidelity and long
continued services
Mr. Rand is well known for the soundness of his
principles and his excellent traits of character. He
has also repeatedly served the people of the County
IN the Legislature, and with much acceptabiiity.
Ills name alone is tower of strength to the ticket
Nr Hunter is plain practical man, possessed of
Solid Judgment and unbendng honesty and integrity.
lie will make safe and most reliable Representative.
Mr. Whitaker is well known to the people for his
intelligence patriotism and public spirit He is well
Sed in political and State affairs and will contrib
ute materially to the success of the ticket.
Upon the whole, it appears to US that a stronger
Or more acceptable ticket could not have been pre-
Sented. We have no doubt it will receive the cor
alal support of the party, and be triumphantly
elected

tzg The Editor is again at his post, after brief
it to Portsmouth, Baltimore, and New York, not
:; cood health, it is true, but animated by deter
nation which nothing can overcome to perform
he whole duty in the present campaign. He has
spn and heard much during his absence, to confirm
him in the soundness of his principles, and to urge
him to abate no efforts which Providence may ena-
he him to put forth to ante the South as one man
il aetsnce Of Southern institutions We must take
care of ourselves; our only hope, aside from our
orn strength as people, is in the President and his
Cabinet, and small but gallant minority of mem
hers of Congress-Democrats of course-from the
pOn.slavehoding States. The Wing party is already
utterly sectionalized, and the South has nothing to
EXPECT from it, as party, in the common Congress;
and this slavery agitation should not be settled by
tbe passage of the Nebraska and Kansas bill, which
many Southern Wings inclined to oppose, the
Democratic party may also fall before the perncious
and destructive spirit which controls the antslave
y movement.
Party, Fandticism PIundcr if the American
yeOpe can only resist these things they will be safe.
Can they? Will they? The people, the masses can
and WILL if not fatally misrcpresented and deceived
BY designing demagogues, who would build for them
selves seats of power the very ruins Of our most
cherished institutions.
Very much will depend upon the action and the
voice of this State in August next We appeal to
our friends in the most earnest tones to them
selves to the importance of the contest-to unite,
harmonize, organize, and to go forward in the
paign with spirit and will which will take moth
ing less than brilliant and decisive victory. Let
no man be allowed to stand in the way of Democratic
success. We call upon the masses of the party to
see this and to to it effectually and also
appeal to friends in all quarters to work for
candidate for Governor. He is in the field, and he
will do all that man can do; but we must all
unite in holding up his hands, in aiding him in pub
lie and in private, in defending him against false
charges, in commencing him to the support of the
people generally, and in preparing for the final strug
gle on the day of the election.
The Editor takes this occasion to return his sin
thanks to those friends who so kindly and ably
conducted the Standard during his absence.

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.

We copy the following from the Washington Star.
We trust that paper may be correct in its belief that
the veto will be applied to the homestead bill in
it passes the Senate:
"TuE PUBLIC LANDS We now find no difference
of opinion to the fact that the President will pro-
badly veto the Homestead BILL ifthat measure passes
the Senate. Nor do we find many public men dsin
cIned to the commencement Of the new era in the
management of the public domain initiated by the
recent veto. Many, indeed, among the members,
have voted somewhat cxtravagantly upon land dona-
ting bills only under the belief that thePubiic do
main was being lavishly wasted, and that as there
hope of being able to put stop to that state
of things, it we'll to portion of the lands
for this or that object The veto gsaiefto
them and they hail tas such. This fact will Dc sub
santiated in both Houses of Congress, when they
come to vote the question of passing the vetoed
bill the Presidents refusal to append his sigma
ture to it"

ROMAN COUNTY.

The Democratic candidates for the Legislature in
Rowan Maj. N. f. Hall for the Senate, and Will
liam A. Walton and C. \. Rose for the Commons.
The Banner says
"AIa. HAIL. our candidate for the Senate, will be
absent from the county for some weeks; but he ex-
poets to be back in time to visit the people of both
Rowan and Davie before the election. There is but
little necessity, however for his canvassing as he is
generally KNOWN and during his absence his friends
will exert themselves in his behalf. He is worthy
man, high minded and honorable, and no one would
better represent the interests of the two counties.
Messrs. WALTON and RosE candidates for the
Commons are also well known. Mr.: Walton was a
member of the last Legislature, and we know he
was faithful one, for were with him during the
whole session. There were there who talked
moro than he did, but there no better member
who had the good of his constituents and OF
the State more at heart Mr.. Rose is man Of in
tegrity, and if elected, will discharge his duties
faithfully.
On the whole we have unexceptionable ticket
and one worthy of the people, and we believe it will
triumph"
