of lands in these three countless the sale of which
has been advertised for some time in the Union of
this place. to take place at court house on July
81. At o'clock the sale took place. when, between
three and four hundred thousand acres of land in
these three counties were knocked off to VIM B.
Rodman at from S. to $40 per grant of from $40 to
64OO acres each. There were few of the grants in
Carteret county not sold, not being located There
different opinions Of the validity of the titles to
these lands, some contendng that they may be good
while others think they are utterly worthless. In
regard to the grants sold in Craven, our experienced
Clerk of the County Court, (who is generally very
good authority in legal matters contends that they
have been reverted back to the State, having been
sold for taxes at and before the year 1901 and
uar deeds given for them by the Sheriff to the Gov
ernor and duly regarded. consequently the later
grants from the State for these lands are per.
fectly valid There is certainly material enough in
this matter for very vexations If not ruinous law
suits, if Mr.. Rodman should be disposed to press
his claims in every instance. There was but one
other bidder, besides Mr.. Rodman, on these heavy
grants Of land, who purchased 1920 acres in the
northern part of this county for $64 who has SINCE
resold to two others two thirds of the some for
$50.

Hon. EDWARD STANLY.-In another column we
publish late news from California, stating. among
other things that Hon. Edward Stanly. formerly
Of this State, has been nominated by the Black Re.
nublicans as their candidate for Governor. We can
not vet bring ourselves to believe that Mr.. Stanley
will so far disgrace himself and his native State as
TO accept this nomination. We trust he will regard
it as an insult, and treat it accordingly.
Mr. Weller, the Democratic candidate, is we'll
known, and we regard his election as certain.
P.S Since writing the above we have received
intelligence that Mr.. Stanly has accepted the nomi-
nation rendered him. We have made up our minds
to be surprised at nothing the opponents of the Dem
ocratic party may do else we should be astonshed,
not only at Mr.. SANKEY'S acceptance, but at at
tempt of the Petersburg Va) LtelHgencer to justi-
fy him. That paper says:
"Mr Stanly has been all his life Wing. There
are but two parties in California-the Democratic
and the so called Republican. The Americans are
Gisorganized, and the Wings non-existent par
ty. Mr.. Stanley, if he took any part in public
affairs was under the necessity Of uniting with
either the Democrats or Republicans. With the
former in respect to no question was there any af
fnitv between them and himself With the latter
he may have entertained many views in common.
The deciding influence then would have been the
slavery question. Touching that he had doubtless
become apprzed of the move of the Democratic
party for the Authorization of the Territories.
The Republicans never proposed anything more
than that slavery SHOULD not go into the Territories
Mr. Stanley has seen that the "Natonal Democra-
CIV" have taken that policy out of their hands, and
are using every exertion to apply to Kansas.
Seeing, therefore, that in regard to the slavery
question, there was no choice between the Demo.
cratic and Republican parties, and that to other
questions of governmental policy, he held greater
affinity of sentiment with the latter than the former,
We suppose he determined to ally himself with the
Republicans"
The IntelHgencer, if it has any intelligence, must
know that it does the Democratic party gross injus
tice in the above extract by wilfully misrepresent
ing its position But those "afinities!" Shall We
be compelled, reluctant We are, to believe thai
the "affinities of Southern K. Ms are with the
Republican party rather than with the Democratic
The Americans disorganized and the Wings non
existent as a party" will their hatred to the Demo
cratic party give preponderance in favor of aboli
tionism The doctrine of the Intelligencer smells
of treason to the Constitution and to the South
Will that paper also ally itself with the Republic
cans? Has it not already done so? We trust Mr.
Stanly will find no defenders on the soil of hi
native State.
