ROWAN AND DAVE.

1t will be seen by the following correspondence,
that Charles F. Fisher Esq, has accepted the nomi-
nation for the Senate, to supply the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Mr. Ellington. The Banner,
from which We copy the correspondence, says:
cit with a full knowledge of Mr. Fishers in
ability to canvass the District that his friends urged
upon him the nomination; and it was with this dis
tinct understanding that he accepted. But think
it entirely unnecessary for man, well known as
Charles F. Fisher is, to Canvass. His name itself is
tower OF strength in Rowan and Davie Besides,
think useless recently after the late exciting
campaign to stir up again the political hosttes of
the two parties. The political complexion Of the
next Legislature is fixed beyond the hopes of a
change, and think the citizens of this District
should cast about for the man who can probably do
most for this section of the State, at time when
many conflicting interests shall be clashing. That
man we believe to be Charles +. Fisher
Mr.. Fisher, it is we'll known, has been long con-
nectcd with the works of Internal Improvements in
this State and from his intimate knowledge of the
same, with his popularity man, his extensive
quaintance and great weight with the party in pow
er, We think he can do more towards completing the
works7of Internal Improvement already commenced
and securing the interests of his constituents in these
projects, than any other man in the district. We
think the time is favorable for laying aside all
party prejudices for a season, and supporting the
man whom public opinion has already so unmistake-
ably indicated as the choice of the District. We
honor the magnanimty of the many Wings who
have already regardless of party ties declared them
selves in favor of/Mr. Fishers election This mag
nanmity will be forgotten by Mr. Fisher his
friends"
