B9EA Does the Washington States and Union expect
to make anything by its denuncaton of those delegates
who after certain point, declined participate further
in the councils of the Democratic National Convention
Until we know that their constituents withdraw the
delegated powers committed to them, or they resign
such powers into the hands of their constituents we
insist that they have still right to take their
seats in the Convention to which they have been
accredited. They will hardly apply, however, but they
will be apt to give hearty support to good candidate
on safe platform Alabama aCW give her electoral
vote to Democratic candidate. Will her denouncers
of Ohio or Michigan do as much? What say Messrs.
Steward and McCook?
We are neither utraists disunioniss seceders but
for all that we beg the leaders and organs of the party
of Mr. Douglas and the North West not to forget that
there is still South, and that contemptuous reference
to that section is neither sound policy good taste
The North West is great" but it is not onnipotent.
Why indulge in any of these determinations why
refuse his seat any delegate who may choose to resume
it? Cancellation and not evaporation ought to be the
policy Alas for the organs. They must howl
AS long as the Democratic people, their constituents
do not withdraw their authority from their delegation,
it is due to that people that they should have place
through such delegates, if they choose to assume it.

Rec The editor of the Charlotte Bulletin speaks of
the osensibe editor of the Journal. The osensi-
bic editor OF the Journal is also the real editor but must
confess to his inability to lee in two places at one and
the same time therefore he will remind the editor of the
Bulletin of what be must have known before, that Mr.
Fulton being in Charleston at the time the editorial re-
erred to by that paper appeared could not then have
been in personal control of its columns and of course
while reference to the Journal perfectly correct
personal reference to individual known to be absent
could hardly be regarded accurate. We trust our
friend of the Bulletin will understand as speaking in
no unfrendIy spirit when we say that, as a rule, we
prefer to aude to- quote the opinions of paper rather
than to drag forward the of its editorn any dis
CUSTOM friendly otherwise and any other than friend
y discussions have not yet had, and hope never to
have with the Bulletin.
The Bulletin chooses to take its own course and we
ours We do lot find fault with it for doing So but we
object to its being quoted Democratic authority or
an exponent of Democratic feeling in North Carolina
whether twould find the majority even in South Carolina
to go fully with it in spirit is matter Of grave question
with us. We have serious doubts on that subject

BG5J ohm Bell, ofTennessee the Presidential nominee

BGnJ John Bell, of Tennessee, the Presidential nominee
of the Opposition Convention, is sxty-hree years of
age having been born near Nashville in 1897. He has
been member of the State Legslature-of Congress-
of the J. S. Senate also, Secretary of War under Gen.
Harrison, but retired from he Cabinet when Mr. Tyler
differed with the Wing party on the Bank question:
He has always taken strongly Northern view of ques-
tioDs having in 1888 voted not only to receive Adolf
ton petitions, but also commended that such petitions
should be referred and reported upon. He is Tariff
man OF the strongest sort.
Mr.. Everett the Vice Presidential nominee, is rather
older than Mr.. Bell, and much better known, He is
brilliant writer and speaker. Whether he is political
statesman is not quite so certain.
Mr.. Bell, with more discretion, is Southern polit

The Electoral Canvass.

The Democratic candidate for Eecor in this district,
VIM. A. Allen Esq, learning that the Fayetteville o.
Seruer had announced that Mr.. DoCkery, the opposi-
ton candidate for eector in the district, would shortly
take the stump, requests to state that his MIR Al
lens professional engagements will necessarily prevent
him from doing SO and meeting Mr.. Dockery before the
middle of june and then to be interrupted by the term
of the Supreme Court in Raleigh which he is compelled
to attend. Mr. Aliens partner, Mr. Houston, State
Solicitor in the Newbern Circuit is so unwe as to be
unable to attend personally to the duties of his Office
hence Mr. Aliens exacting professional engagements
When the Courts are over, he will the district
thoroughly and would be pleased to do so in company
with his competitor Mr. Dockery but OF course if that
gentleman is determined to take the field without notice
or consultation with Mr.. Allen, then Dir. Alien will know
what course to adopt for himself
In the event Of DIr Dockerys starting 10y HIMSELF it
would be only fair and courteous to provide him with
partner wherever he speahs-say in the shape of Dem
ocrac County cector that he may not pass without
Roland for bis Oliver
In our opinion however ii would be hotter for Mcsars
Dockcry and Allen TO arrive at some understanding.
