One of the Washington Correspondents of the
New York Times, says
"The Douglas interest also reckon confidently
that every Northwestern State will instruct ON the
Little Giants" favor-thus giving him 65 votes,
which, with II votes from the England States,
Z from New Jersey, , from Delaware, . from Mis-
souri, and 8 from Maryland, will be pretty safe and
large capital with which to enter the Charleston
Convention They also claim that DOUGLAS will be
the second choice of Virginia Tennessee, Arkansas
and North Caro- ina-in fact that, quite probably
not he may be the first choice of the last named
State"
Nov, we do not know how the delegates from
North Carolina will vote in the Charleston Conven
tion would it become us to urge our own views
upon the subject We trust the State will vote as
unit for the best man. But we do not think it
likely that North Carolina will vote for Mr. Douglas
as her first, second or third CHOICE nor do we
think she will vote for Gov. WISE This is our
opinion, and we give it for what it is worth The
prominent and leading names in this State those
of Breckenridge, Hunter, Lane, and Dickinson
Many of our people think the nominee should be
Southern man, and we confess incline to that
opinion oursef I'VE have good reasons for this in
| clination, but<do not deem it expedient to state
! th.m now.
| At any rate we hope the State will give unit
vote at Charleston; and to this end it is important
if not indispensable, that the delegates shall be left
untrammelled, so that, when they meet in Charles
ton they compare views and opinions, and adopt
the best course as well for the State they will rep
resent as for the national Democracy.

folk which were erected at great expense. and are
sufficient for the present wants of our small steam

If the Treasury the provisions already made at the
four navy yards mentioned, and the facts embodied
inthe reports of the commission, should not deem
