and in this list we see the names of John H. Hauyh'
ton and John F. Hoke, as delegates at large f,o,
North Carolina. This is the first public anno,n.1
ment of the names of delegates from this State ~,
it was pretended that, at the meeting of the Y
Council or Convention in this place, last October Al
secresy was removed from X. N. proceedings w.

We are not surprised to find Mr. lIaughton's nam.

Carolina. Our understanding of Col. Uoke,s ,,
ton is that he has Withdrawn from the Order 90,
that he supported Mr.. Craigc for Congress. And =,
Col Hoke personal. and, we have supposed no.
litical friends, We call upon him Also with all Dr..
respect to define his postion-or at any rate to stat.
whether he is delegate to the Convention ,,e,
red to or not. ''
Among other delegates in this list of the Rac
ter" we find the name of Gov W. +, johnson \,
Pennsylvania. Now, this man johnson is a Seward

no doubt many of the delegates are from the free
States. 1t is well remembered that some four vr,ro
ago, during his term as Governor of Pennsylvana
MIR. Gorsuch, of MARYLAND, was brutally murdered
in the former State, by abotionists and free me-
grocs, while cndeavoring 10 reclaim his slaves and
it is also we'll remembered that this same Gov John

1t is notorious that every State Council of the
Know Nothings in the Tree States has repudated
the 18th section of the Philadelphia platform tits
notorious, also, that not one Know Nothing member
Of the House from the free States voted for Mr. Aiken
for Speaker; that Mr.. Fuller lodged and that the
six Know No,hings from the free States who voted
for Mr. Fuller on the last ballot might, if they had
so chosen, have defeated Mr.. Banks Under these
circumstances, Southern men-savcho!ders are
again going into Convention with Northern Know
Nothings. 1t requires no spirit of prophecy to pre-
diet the result. The Southern delegates will either
have to withdraw, submit to such action, both as
to the nominee and the platform, as will be deeply
humliating to themselves and injurious to their sec
ton of the Union.
