The Favettertlle Carollnian.

We do not wish to keep up any controversy simply
for the sake of controversy and still less for the desire Of
victory over political friend. We SHALL therefore, say
very little in reply to the Caronlon Of Saturday. fur
Their than to correct an erroneous deduction which it
draws from some remarks Of It says we assert
that any number, no matter how small minority it be-
has an undeniable right to call convention at their
option-that every second man would be allowed to call
a convention.
Now, our assertion that when any respectable num-
Der of Democrats call for Convention that very fact
indicates the existence of such state of things as rem
ders the holding of convention not only expedent but
necessary for healing divisions and preventing their fur
Their growth, surely does not warrant the conclusion
which the CaroIian arrives. Indeed, our original re-
marks to which reference was made read as follows -
" We think if a respectable number of Democrats in
any district call for Convention, they have right to
have their wishes respected even although they may rot
constitute majority Mere faction is Of course another
thing These things do not necessarily nor indeed at
ALL imply hostility to any particular person persons.
Conventions meetings of friends not of enemiesthey
held to prevent adjust differences not to promote
them"
This certainly embodes no such foolshness Or acous
ness as the Carolinian attributes to u.s.
We will not argue the tone adopted towards us
by the Carotnan. Let that pass. We wish to revive
no hard feelings and fully prepared to believe that the
articles of the Caroiinian displayed asccrbiy of
feeling than the Editors really entertained. We ask
them to look over their files and be their own judges of
their language They will see that prefer ground
less charge.
Let us say in conclusion, that we have truly desired
throughout to maintain not simply tone of moderation,
but also feeling answering to that Tone That sin
Cerey deprecate any divisions and regret that crcum
stance have tended to produce feelings of irritation in
quarters-feelings which may be soothcd but
not be beaten down.
We assure our contemporary that nothing is or has
been farther from feelings than any touch Of unkind
ness We have simply said what justice to ourselves
and to views Of right demanded. We have done
mildly and moderately and must let our statement speak
for ITSELF without any attempt to bolster it up to
withdraw from it.
If difficulties occur we will have the consciousness u
having shown how such difficulties could be aud ought
to be avoided.

BSF The Virginia election being now over, decided
certain it has pretty much passed from the public view
The opposition have succeeded in that ancient common
wealth,-only they hareat. g Honest John must be
Governor for the next four years.
The Presidential visit to North Carolina is now
the most taked-about occurrence. At Weldon the
President and Secretary Thompson were met by the Com
mitee of Reception and welcomed by Governor Ellis
and senator Bragg.
In his reply to the very appropriate welcoming speech
of Governor Ellis the President ntimated his determine
ton to retire at the close of his term to the shades of
Wheatand. This announcement only confirms what ne
said while candidate Mr.. Buchanan never aimed at
second term although his motives have been suspected
and mannuvering to that end attributed to him.
The Oak City Guards and the Wilmington Light In
fanry were drawn up to receive the distinguished guests
of the State who after partaking of refreshments at
Weldon started at y o'clock for Raleigh, stopping for
dinner at Franklinton.
Just before dark on Tuesday afternoon the train with
the guests OF the State arrived at the depot in Raleigh
where large concoprse of citizens and ctzen-sodiery
were ready to receive them.
The presidential party was introduced by Governor
Ellis and welcomed by Hon. Daniel NJ. Barringer to
whose cordial greeting the President replied in very
feeling manner expressing his pride and pleasure at meet
ing so warm reception in the old North State, to whose
patriotism and vaor in Revolutionary days he alluded
most happily. He referred 10 the evening of his own
existence, now quietly gliding awayto the time when he
should retire to the shades of home to await the last
summons. He trusted that the present hurtful ten
dency to disunon would pass away and that meetings
like this between citizens of different States but Of
common country would tend to cement the bonds Of
National Union.
Hon. Jacob Thompson spoke of the pleasure he
derived from this visit to bis native State after alb
gence of 25 years.
The procession to the Yarbrough House, where The
Presidents quarters were provided consisted of the Will
mngton Light Infantry at the head the Newbern Light
Infantry the Orange Guards the lredell Blues, the
Cabarrus Guards, the Oak City Guards, the Elm City
Cadets tie Hiilsboro Military Academy Cadets, the
Rowan Rifle Guards, the Hornets Nest Rifemen, the
Rowan Artillery, in all eleven Companies. The Presi-
dent Governor, Secretary Thompecn and other guests
and officials were in carriages.
Next day the party proceeded TO Chapel Hi most Of
the military companies returning nome immediately the
Newbern company having passed through Goldsboro'
on their way home n Wednesday evening
The Wilmington Light Infantry went 0n 70 Chapel
Hill and remained there, being supplied with tents and
camp equpage. The other Companies, nearly all, no
doubt were forced to turn round from the impossbity
OF getting any accommodations.

LErcHER AND THE REST OF THE STATE TICKET ELEc.
TED-THE LEGISLATURE STILL DECIDEDLY DEMOCRAT.
IC-The tables which have carefully compiled from
the best of information show that spite of the
heavy losses in the Southwest and elsewhere doubt
can remain as to the election Of the State ticket by
good majority-in the neghborhood of 5000. In lie
counties and cities we have lost 1865 on Wses major

mense reaction to the result took place in public
timent yesterday afternoon.
The democrats have sustained several losses in the
Senate and House of Delegate, reported but taking
the worst reports there is doubt that the Legislature
will be decidedly democratic

Returned fsom Chapel Hill.

Early this morning the strains of martial music awOke
the echoes in otherwise quiet Streets announcing the
return of the Wilmington Light Infantry from their
trip to Chapel Hill on the occasion Of the Presidents
sit to that place. to be present at Commencement
The boys delighted with tier trip and speak in
the warmest terms Of the kindness and attention with
which they were treated. Having made arrangements
for encamping etc, they were enabled to accompany
the President to Chapel Ill., aid to remain there and
escort him back to Raleigh, in fact seeing the thing
through and this, we have no doubt, with credit to
themselves and their town. Their encampment a
point Of general attraction at the University.
AT Raleigh. the President, his return from COM
mencement became the guest of Hon. L. OBJ. Banch.
Before parting with the General and Staff Of this brigade
and the Wilmington Light Infantry he made them a
feeling and appropriate address, thanking ;nem kindly
for the high compliment of their continued escort and
attentions To this General Cowan made happy res
ponse.
All with whom we have met are much pleased with
the President the Secretary the rest of mankind but
much more pleased with Womankind in general, and
several fair ones at commencement in particular we
mean of course, the single members of the Company
On a fair calculation, at least three fourths of the
about this time not having slept much for some nights
and several days.
It may not be improper here to refer to matter
which seems to have been talked about and written
about good deal more than its Importance deserves -
The question Of military escort to the President and
the selection by the Governor OF any particular Com
pany for that position.
The Governor would have liked to have had all the
Volunteer Companies n the State and with that view,
communicated informally with ALL at any rate endeav-
ored to do so. All expressed their willingness. The law
however, had made provision for the entertainment
of the Companies and the Governor found that other
arrangements could net be made in time aud therefore
no official call was made Or invitation issued The Viii
mington Light Infantry having their own accommoda-
tons, offered to go wholly on their own expenses and
their offer was accepted as would that Of any other
Company The ". L. l. escorted the President through
out because they volunteered to do SO. There was nc
favoritism, special invitation or ground for jealousy.
