sentng the line officers Il is much to be regretted
that this question of rank, for which Navy officers
are notorious sticklers. has not heretofore been
clearly and explicitly defined, it having given srse
to much bitter feeling amongst officers, and been

w If MIR. McRae supposes or if his ir'enos OF
the opposition suppose that he is making converts
TO his distribution notions, or even making an I'M
nre<son on the body of the people, he or they Will
end themselves mistaken. Speeches delivered here
and there in towns and villages produce but little ef
feet upon the masses Of the people. Old preiudlces
NAV be thereby revived in few minds, and precon-
ceved opinions may be reused and nclnee with some
additional force in their former channels; but Mr.
McRae is not the man, speaking especially in this IT.

up the great deep Of popular sentiment ana give
new paths and new directions.
Mr.. McRae may fatter himself, or his trlends may
Aauer him with the belieftha he is producing SEN
saton and revolution public opinions but the votes
of the people on the first Thursday in August next
will show how baseless and how absurd this belief
is. Drop a pebble in the centre of Lake Superior,
and observe what plunge it will make, and how
far the rpples will extend. Thus it is with the ar
dent and interesting Ex-Consul. He has not even
approached the great deeps of public sentiment
His little distribution pebbles have been dropped
along the shore, and the rippes, scarcely seen and
accounted of no moment have all run towards dry
land The truth is Mr.. McRae has but little SYM
pathy with the great body of the peoples and as ne
has been an ofce-seeker and ofice.holder during
the greater portion of his public career and as he
has appeared to care more for himself than for his
principles and for others, the people have as little
confidence in him as he has sympathy with them.
Of the one hundred thousand voters in the State,
there are probably fifty thousand who have never
heard of Duncan K. McRae His defeat (Which is
inevitable by twenty thousand majority if he should
run for Governor, will render him somewhat better
known to the great body of the people than he is
now, and will offer him useful lesson for the re-
mainder of his public career, if there should be any
remainder of it; but whether he will profit by the
lesson is question which time alone can decide.

Democratic Convention.

So far about fifty five counties have held meetings
and appointed delegates to the Democratic conven-
ton to be held at Charlotte on the 18th of April
next; and SO far union and harmony in regard to
Democratic principles have characterized every

also mark the proceedings Of the convention. Men
pass away, but principles are immortal.

We learn has made deed of trust, appointing cx-

next the statute of limitations will be pleaded in

fail, they will amend by pleading "no assets

Mr.. Root wished to know what number Boots I"
proposed to enroll. If the prayer of the petition
