What will the Register say to that? The signers
of the Western Address and Western Wings gener-
ally feel that they have been tried with by the late
Wing Convention, and some of them boldly avow
themselves for Free Suffrage by the Legislature and
against limited Convention; while Eastern Wings
know that there was no sound reason for recon-
mending Convention of any sort. The Registers
patriotic and colciatory policy is likely to have
"open" as we'll as covert enemies. .
How can Mr.. Woodfn--how can the thirty-sevcn
signers of the famous Western Address support Gen.
Dockery, who plants himself on the 9th Resolu-
ton?
The Register, it is obvious, regards the Greens
borough Patriot as cover" enemy and the Pat
riot has been denounced accordingly. The denun-
ciaton it is true is not open, but the Patriot and
its friends including Mr.. Gimer-undcrstand it.
Such is the consistency of the Wing party, as
represented by its leaders. And now what will the
people do? Win they go with these men, scho can
not eren agree among themselves? Or with the Dem
ocratc party, opposed as is to Convention wheth
er proposed to be limited or not and avor of Free
Suffrage by legislative enactment the mode pointed
out by the Constitution, and already sanctioned by
tuo-thirds one Of the peoples representatives
WAKE COUNTY.
We have published, at the request of number of
friends, call for Convention of the Democrats of
Wake to be held On Monday of the ensuing May
Court to nominate candidates for the Legislature It
would appear to be unnecessary to argue to the De-
mocrats of Wake in favor of party organization and
union. They have triumphed heretofore as the re-
suit of union and they have only to glance at the
past to be impressed with its importance the pres
ent crisis We know, they do, that the federal
leaders of the County and especially of this City,
making large calculations upon expected dis
agreements and divisions and they will avail them
selves at of the smallest breach ranks
United, we atand divided, we falls' seS
We trust friends in the various Captains Dis
trics will hold meetings and appoint delegates to
the proposed Convention Let the Convention be as
full possible, SO that there may be no room /
for complaining of its action "A full representation
and an acceptable ticket which we feel sure can be
agreed upon, will ensure us the victory.
CHARLESTON. The Editor of the Petersburg Ex-
press who was Charleston on the 9Th in attendance
on the Commercial Convention, says 6 The Market
House, some three quarters of mile length,
brilliantly illuminated with gas last night and pre-
scented most inviting and handsome appearance.
Meats fowl and fish abounded in the greatest pro-
FUSION and fruits and vegetables were for sale in |
great varieties, but not very abundant. The recent
cold spell has retarded the growth of early fruits
and vegetables. noticed, among other fruits deli
cous strawberries and in vegetables there quite
asprnkling of asparagus, green peas, tomatoes and
cucumbers. The gardens of the city are He'd with
flowers, and the air is burdened with the perfume of
these beautiful specimens Of Gods handi-work. y
50 We learn that Gen. Dockefy, the federal cam
didate for Governor addressed the people at Eden
ton few days since, and was replied to by Mr..
Bragg. We understand the triumph of Mr. Bragg

This is the substance of the Information we receive
from all quarters of the State.
