Democratic state Convention.

We have delayed our paper to-day so as to give
sketch of the proceedings of the Democratic State
Convention which assembled in this City on Thurs
day and adjourned sine die on Friday night last.
S.xty-three Counties were represented 10y more
than three hundred delegates. A more intelligent
or patriotic body of men never assembled in North
Carolina.
Though in the private meetings of the Convention
there was some feeling evinced on State question:
vet when the Counties had recorded their views and
their wishes through their delegates, the minority
at once acquiesced the action Of the majority and
in open Convention there was the utmost harmony
on this and all other subjects which engaged the at
tention of the body.
No preference was even intimated, much less ex-
pressed, for the Presidency. Bedford Brown, of
Caswe, William S. Ashe, of New Hanover, W. w.
Avery, of Burke, and William W. Holden, of Wake
were appointed delegates for the State at large to
the Charleston Convention A. NJ. Scales, of Rock
ingham, and E. G. Haywood, Of Wake, were nomi-
mated Electors for the State at large.
We point with peculiar satisfaction to the resolu-
tions adopted on federal affairs They are clear,
bold, Just towards the administration Of Mr.. Bu-
chanan and the Northern Democracy, and at the
same time fearless in their tone towards our black
Republican assailants. They are for C0nstitu-
tionsl Union and not for unconditional submission
to Seward and his followers.
The speech of Gov. Ellis on Friday night, accept
ing the nomination for Governor, was one Of the
best political speeches we have ever heard. The
Governor was enthusiastically greeted and applaud
ed. He was followed by Hon. John Kerr, Hon. A.
NJ Scales W. L. Steele, Esq, Hon. W. W. Avery,
who entertained the large audience in the best man
ner.
Weresret our want of time just now to do justice
to these gentlemen and to others who addressed
the Convention.
And now, brother Democrats, what remains but
to 20 to work to defeat the enemy? That was the
prime object for which the Convention was held
Let our watchword be, "unon and harmony, every
thing for the cause and nothing for the men," Let
all feud and schism, and DIVISION and rivalry be as
if they never had been; and let us all resolve that
the Democratic flag shall continue to float in triumph
over the good old State.

TIE BEsT NoDE OF DPy1Nc Prupr1N,

The BEST MODE OF DRYING PUMPKINS.
We love pumpkin pies, even when there is
an abundance Of tree fruits, and we shall this
year love them all the more because the tree
fruits are scarce. We have tried all the
modes of drying pumpkins, but no plan is,
we think, equal to the one we have recon-
mended year ago, and which we have re-
Gently tried on larger scale than hitherto
1t is this: take the ripe pumpkins, pare, cut
into small pieces, stew soft, mash and strain
through culander, as if for making pies
Spread this pulp on plates in layers, not
quite half an inch thick; dry it down in the
stove oven kept at so low temperature as
not to scorch it. In about day it will be-
come dry aud crisp. The sheets thus made
can he slowed away in a dry place, and they
are then always ready for use for pies or
sauce. Soak the pieces over night in little
milk. and they will return to nice pulp, as
delicious as the fresh pumpkin-we think
much more SO. The quick drying after cook
ing, prevents any portion from slightly sour
ing as is always the case when the unlocked
pieces are dried; the flavor is much better
preserved, and after cooking is saved. This
plan is quite as little trouble as the old mode,
| to say nothing of the superiority in the quail
ty Of material obtained. Try it and you will
not return to the old method we are sure;
and You will also become q great lover of
pumpking pie "the year round" and feel
less loss of the fruit crop.-Agriculturist.
