BIOGRAPHY OF GEN. JOSEPH LANF.--We publish to-
day, biographical sketch of Gen. Jos. Lane Sena-
tor of Oregon whose character and life come
to those of General jackson than any man we know
Of The life of General Lane furnishes beautiful
illustration of our republican institutions and shows
that the charge of "ngratitude" against Republics
is not true with reference to this country. Here,
the truly honest, brave and patriotic man seldom
goes without just appreciation from his country
men. And although demagogues may for season
mislead the public mind, and excite prejudces
against the honest and true yet the old sage Of
the Hermitage well said: "Truth is omnipotent and
public justice certain; and later, the good
will be elevated, and tie f.'se exposed" The life
Of General Lane should be studied by every youth
in the country and its bright example encourage all
more Republican,.

RALEIGH: SATURDAY. OCT. 22. 1859.
HOLDEN. 4 WILSON, STATE PRINTERS
The Democratic State Convention.

1t will be seen, by the Address below of the De-
mocratic State Committee that Raleigh has been
designated as the place. and Thursday the Sth of
March as the time for holding the next Democratic
State Convention.
The Committee gave to this and to other subjects
much consideration and we feel sure that their re-
concentrations will give general satisfaction to the
party.
We have only time at present to add that we
trust ecery Democrat from Currituck to Cherokee
will respond to the action of the Committee, and
that the Convention will he one of the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held in the State. Brother
Democrats, if we expect to defeat the opposition, we
must "show our faith by works" We must
organize Thoroughly and meet the enemy not as
raw recruits, but as trained veterans. Our cause is
the cause of the Constitution of Southern rights,
of the Union; but good as that cause is and dear
as it is to us ALL it be maintained only by inces
SAINT vigilance and effort.
We have been requested to suggest that the Coun-
ty Committees and Others correspond with the
Chairman DR.. James E. Williamson, Locust Hill,
Caswe, up to the time of the meeting of the State
Convention; and thereafter with the Committee to
be appointed by that Convention.
More on these subjects hereafter.
TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF NORTH
CAROLINA.
The Democratic State Executive Committee having
met pursuant to the call of their Chairman after due
consideration have determined to appoint Thursday
the Sth day of March as the time, and the City of
Raleigh the place for holding next State Con-
vention, to nominate candidate for Governor, and
Ill, <noS Stot,
in the National Democratic Convention to be held
in Charleston We therefore recommend that meet
ings be called in all the counties of the State and
delegates appointed to represent them in the said
State Convention; and also, that delegates be ap-
pointed to represent them in District Conventions
to be held in each Congressional District for the
purpose OF cecng two delegates and their alternates
to represent the said Districts in the National Con-
vention.
Believing do that the happiness and pros
perty of the people, the preservation of their rights
and the perpetuy of the institutions of our country
depend upon the success of the Democratic party,
We earnestly recommend harmony and union in our
ranks, and a thorough organization as the surest
guaranty of glorious triumph; and we, therefore,
respectfully suggest that an Executive Committee of
five be appointed by said county meetings in each
county to correspond and cooperate with the Cen
trail Committee and the other County Committees
which may be appointed to promote the success Of
the Democratic party of North Carolina.
