AN OLD CAMPAIGNER.

For the Journal.
MEssRs. EDITORS In your issue of Saturday last
notice a communication the signature of &c A
Priyate' IN which it is urged that the County Con-
vention for the nomination of members of the Gener
al Assembly, 10 convene at Long Creek the goth
of May next, should make nominations for all other
county Offices which 10 be filled by elections du-
ring the coming summer. AS there is other office
TO be filled at that time except that of Sheriff. of
course the suggestion is made in reference to nomi-
nation for that Office.
The writer expresses that abiding interest in the
time -honored principles of party which every
good Democrat ST oud entertain, and contends that
these principles are only to be maintained by the
united and harmonious action OF the members of the
party In all this agree. The question then is,
will nomination for the office of Sheriff by the
Long Creek Convention tend to produce unity and
harmony among the members of the Democratic par
ty and thus the ascendancy of our principles
within the county; will it be the agitation of
new issue, which will act as a brand of discord
thrown in our midst, ng enemies TO re oice
and our friends to mourn
We assume that the latter would inevitably be the
result for the that conviction is that the
majority of the Democratic voters of New Hanover
look upon the movement as fraught with evil only,
and would repudate the action of the Convention in
this particular if taken. being unprecedented un-
| necessary, impolitic and unwise.
In the first place, the movement IS without prece-
dent, and would be contrary to established Usage
and being initiated at this particular juncture as
"A Private expresses it, would inevitably be con-
strued by many, whether justly or unjustly, as
prompted with view to affect particular interests
rather than the good of the party.
In the next place, if the movement be simply to
elect Democratic Sheriff, then we hold it 10 be for
that purpose totally unnecessary. There is this day
more of unity, harmony and concert of action-and
that too based upon unseIfsh, elevated and clearly
defined constitutional Union saving principles-ex-
listing among the Democracy of New Hanover County
than we have ever known. And, in this respect, we
are but the prototype of our party throughout the
length and breadth of our land.
We are now upon the eve of important State and
Federal contests, in which are Involved all that We
hold dear as Democrats and Southern men, and
upon the issue of which depend, we believe, in a
great measure the stability of Institutions and
the very existence of our Union.
