EeE@1he Herald somehow qotU mol be persuaded
that all the talk about "Fillmore stock rising" is
only so much fummery for certain purpose, and
really amounts TO nothing in fact Well, we can't
help it People will getwrong notions in their heads;
nothing is more common. 1t is human nature, and
such errors are not often cured by argument, SO we
fear that we must even give up the hope of reason
ing it into more correct views, and leave General
November to prove the weakness of such positions
by exhibiting their untenabeness.
But 10 leave this matter and turn 10 another. The
Herald saws the Journal did not desire the nomna-
ton of MIR Buchanan. We strongly supported the
nomination of MIR. Buchanan four years ago, and
take some credit to oursef for having had little
fundamentally in concentrating the vote of the North
Carolina delegation, at that time, upon Mr. 3uch
anan to whom it adhered until finally it rallied upon
Gen. Pierce, once splitting its vote. Those who
were delegates from this section know how earnestly
we abored, and they know too that our abors were
not without effect although were moi in that
convention.
Tn 1856 tur confidence in Mr.. Buchanan was and
is the same as it was in 1852 We have as much
confidence in Mr. Buchanan as in any living,
and we have confidence also in his election more
perhaps, than in that of any other whom the
Mr. Buchanan had for sometime been absent on a
high and honorable mission and had measurabIy es.
capped that neasureless tide Of Know Nothing and
abolition abuse, which had been poured forth upon
President and Mr.. Douglass, and preferred 10 make
the issue with these factions broadly il could
be made, BY the nomination of that candidate who
had been most highly honored by their Simultaneous
if not united denunciations and in this respect 1t
seemed to that President Pierce stood No. l,
and Mr.. Douglas hardly second 10 him. But now
the thing is changed, and really, Together with all
his other claims to the confidence of the Democracy
of North Carolina, and of the whole people OF The
whole South, MIR. Buchanan combines record OF
Know Nothing and abolition abuse sufficient to salts
fly his warmts friends and leave little TO be deslred
beyond continuance by his oppontntS in the course
on which they have set out So far we know,
the views entertained by us are general throughout
the party IN this State.
We agree with the Herald that Bennett of the N.
Y. Herald does not hesitate 10 lie, to accomplish
purpose. His mendacious attacks upon the admins
ation prove that. But STILL such he is, Re is the
head ard front of the Northern opposition to Mr.
Buchanan, and certainly it must be plain that

of any paper to ii shows its existence, else why op-
position to it. Men do not oppose things that have
no existence. The York Eagle, referred to by the
Herald, calls upon the real friends of Mr. Fillmore 10
show bold front against this proposed Union, show
ing that it proposed, fact which the Herald seems
to call in question
