the vote of District We learn that two or
three individual delegates preferred other gen.
tlemen, but their districts voted as above and they
were entirely willing that the majority should rule
Now we ask our democratic friends if any one
has right to complain Of the action of the conven-
ton! Was not everything done openly and fairly?
If any one democrat has right to complain be-
cause he was not nominated, then every democrat
IT. the county has the same right, for one had no
more right to claim it than another.
But, We learn it is said that the Town influence
predominated in the convention That is mis-
take. 1t could not be In fact the Town did
not have its full weight in the convention for it is
entitled to cast the vote of two captains districts,
whereas it only cast the vote of one So our coun-
try friends will see that the town delegates did
nothing unfairly, (they did not even exercise the
power they were rightly entitled to- and think
when the matter is understood all will concede that
the nominations were fairly made, and entitled
to the undivided support Of the democratic party.
In making this statement we are prompted by
no other motive than to defend the convention from
an UNI Just charge, and determination to sustain
the party nominees, which always intend TO do
no matter who opposes. IF others than those no.
minated had been selected we would have sup
ported them lust cordially

MR. MAcRAE's POSITION.

When the canvass first commenced, Mr. McRae
took position on internal improvements which he
thought would secure him votes by arousing the
prejudices of the people against high taxes. In
the discussion at this place he declared opposition
to granting another cent of State aid to any work.
But when he got down about Fayetteville he con-
cocted and advocated plan of helping the Fay
etteville Road by transfer of the States stock in
the Raleigh and CASTOR Road. This was done for
the purpose of gaining the votes of internal I'M
provement men of that section
While In the eastern part of the State Mr. Nc
Rae took no position the Western Extension
improvement, further than to say that he would
not recommend more State aid. 1t is true he
said he was in favor of complying with past legis-
lation, but beyond this he would not 90. AS he
approaches the mountains he finds it necessary to
modify his position to suit the internal improve
ment views of the West; therefore he now advo-
Gates modification of the charter of the Western
\. {. Railroad and is in favor Of the States sub
scribing her two-thrds as fast as individuals sub
scribe one-thrd and pay in FIVE per centum, and
letting out the contracts all along the line This
would allow the Road to be built along the line in
patches, and would cause waste of the money al
ready appropriated unless further aid was imme-
diately granted, which would of course, increase
taxation.
Judge Ellis position is to build the Road in
sections and to have the work proceed continuous
y and connectedly. In this way further aid will
not be needed for some time to come if at all.
The Judges position is less liable to involve us in
sudden and useless taxation

MILITARY VISIT.

On Friday last the 9th, Charlotte had surprise
visit from the Newborn Light Infantry Company and
the Salisbury Rifle Guards and Artillery companies
Although military company, the Hornets Nest Rifle
man. had but few hours notice of the contemplated
visit, yet they made ample preparations, and, under
command of lst Lieutenant l.. S. Williams, received
their brother soldiers fine style and entertained them
handsomely The Riflemen together with number OF
citizens repaired to the Depot o'clock, to receive
the visitors in due form and extend to them the hos
FATALITIES of the town After waiting short time, an
cxtr, train from the Atlantic & n c. Road drawn by
spleudid locomotive, the civilian Gaston' arrived
ON behalf of the Charlotte military, Gen. Young well
coined the companies i'll well conceived and aPrro-
priate speech Everybody who knows the General will
feel satisfied that he did the thing right procession
was then formed headed by Gen. Young, Dr. Fox and
T. NJ Smith, Esq marshals and marched to the Public
Square, where, after partaking of refreshments, the
visitors were again addressed by j. W. Osborne Esq
Mr. Osborne spoke of Salisbury our old neghbor, and
ofNewbern neighbor made so by the ''iron-
horse" In aluSou several distinguished natives OF
the latter town he spoke in complimentary terms OF
the Rev. DIR. Hawks among the number The historian
of North Carolina man revercd anu honored by al
her citizens.
The companies then marched through the principal
streets and proceeded to the Mansion House and par
took of a splendid dinner furnished by the Rihemen
We could not make it convenient be present in
cortlance with polite invitation, but one of our New
bern friends afterwards told that everything passed
off pleasantly and to the great qualification and enjoy
ment of his company. At o'clock the companies de-
parted with the regret of all our people that they could
not make it convenient to stay longer
The Newborn company was accompanied by 4 Artii-
Iervmen from that town with brass pieces of can
non with which salutes fred from time to time
IBy the by, we were told that the cannon were cap
| tured from the Mexicans during the late war.
All honor, say we, the Hornets Nest Rifemen for
the credtable in which they sustained the char
acter of Charlotte Cor hospitality.

THE COUNTY CANVASS

The canvass in this county for the Legislature
commenced on Monday of last week The regular
democratic nominees declared themselves, and also
DR.. III. NJ Pritchard declared himself an ndepen-
dent democratic candidate We have no fears
about the success of the convention candidates.
Although DR.. Pritchard announced himself some
two months ago we have not thought proper to al
ude to him until he took the stump against the
nominees.
Of course we do not arrogate to ourselves the
prcrogative Of debating to the people of this
ty how to vote; but We d. as the publisher of
democratic paper, claim the privilege fsupportng
the nominees Of the conventions of the democratic
party, and of opposing those who take the field
against them. This is privilege as well as a duty
and we intend to exercise it without regard to
frowns smiles. AS we have no personal feeling
in the matter cannot see that it will be just
cause of offence to any one, and do not apprehend
anything of the kind, but if our course should
cause offence, cannot help it that shall not
deter us from doing what is right.
The convention that nominated Messrs Davidson
Hutchinson and Wallace was fair one as we think
we have conclusivey shown in preceding article
and we cannot understand why Dr. Pritchard should
feel himself particularly aggrieved above every
other democrat in the county, and take the stump
against the regular candidates. He has always been
convention man heretofore, and he claims to
be strong democrat any one in the county,
his present course does seem strange and inconsis
tent In fact he allowed his name to 90 before the
convention, so his present position is not in con-
sequence of opposition to conventions; and we will
do him the Justice to say that we do not think it
is owing to any opposition to the principles OF the
democratic party. The fact is the Doctor has start
ed wrong in this matter, and we respectfully sug
gest the mpropriety Of his course.
As We have repeatedly said before, no party can
continue to be successful without perfect organiza
ton To maintain an organization has ever been
leading object with the democratic party well as
with the whig party. Conventions are necessary
to make choice of candidates. and when fairly con-
Quoted should receive the sanction of the party.
1t is unnecessary for us to say that we make
these remarks without any unkind feelings towards
anv one The public course of individuals is fair
subject for discussion, and far as we are con-
cerned we are willing to do so in friendly man.
ner If it should be otherwise it shall not be our
fault.
If Dr. Pritchard can show that the convention
acted unfairly or that he has been treated with any
injustice or that he has any peculiar claims upon
the democratic party, columns are open to him
for that purpose.

THE SHORTEST ROUTE.

The Wilmington Journal in reply to a statement we
published last week giving the distances the Rail-
road route via Wilmington and the proposed Dam
vile connection route says after copying figures
"Now let call attention to one of the items in the
above caculaonone of the links in the chain of roads
composing the Danvle or Upper route. That link is
the ATLANTA Air Line R. r. 1t is ar line and moth
ing else There is such road at all in air. in
the fertile nations of newspaper writer's The dis
lance assigned must be wholly conjectured for we do
suppose anybody has surveyed the railroad that
is put down part of the upper Danville route.
This from Chesterville S. c., Atlanta,
Ga, taiked about by people good while be-
fore the Charlotte and S. c. Road reached the Catawba
river. 1t is talked about now suppose But has n
foot Of earth been dug? Has charter been asked
for? cent of money pledged, anything else been
done? Not that we know of. Our contemporary Of the
Charlotte Democrat must that putting that into the
summing up of route which has existence at all,
only result in deception"
The Journal is entirely mistaken about this whole
matter. The Atlanta Air Line Railroad company has
been organized, President elected (Mr Norcross),
charter secured for the whole line from Chester S. c.
to Atlanta, Ga. the line surveyed large amount of
the capital stock subscribed and portion paid Why
only few weeks ago meeting held at some point
along the line 1--WE can't remember where) and
of the stock subscribed by those present without
hesitation. This is only one instance of the kind.
We certainly have desire to deceive any about
the matter. The route laid down is the only one
that has been in contemplation by the friends of the
Danvle connection about here and the reason we CAL
led attention last week because the Journal
published the distances of different connecting links in
connection with the proposed Road from Greensboro
Danville, and the Raleigh Standard copied it, which
statement thought calculated to mislead the public
with regard to the scheme proposed by the country from
here to Caswell county. We never claimed anything
in the way of short from here to Columbia and
thence Branchville. For that route no advantage
the lower has been claimed by any one
in this section, and could understand why the
distances along that line published 1t like
making man of straw and then kicking him down and
using him up without the probability of his crying for
quarter.
We have idea of blaming the Journal for opposing
any scheme that may think calculated inure its
section; but claim the privilege of favorng any
project that holds the prospect of benettng
section. The Journal is right in saying it is party
matter; and have the least idea of falling out
with political friends who differ with the subject
But whenever the proposed route is talked about we
want it represented correctly.
