with the Kew of saying that the Wash
ington correspondent Of that journal Is
mistaken in assuming that the State dele
CATION from North Carolina to the
Charleston Convention is in favor Of Sen
ator Hunter.
We have no right. says the Standard,
to speak for the delegation. nor do we at
tempt to do so, but we know that no
such public pledge was ever made. The
convention which appointed them express
sed no preference. They will go to
Charleston untrammeled with pledges,
and free to do the best they can for the
Democratic cause but while we say this
in justice to the Democratic party OF the
State, we have no hesitation in declaring
that We entertain great respect for MIR.

JOHN BELL.
The impression prevails that the Bslti-
more CONVENTION will nominate John
Bell Of Tennessee, with the hope that
Chicago will follow suit. The argument
is that Mr.. Bell is not an American. but
an old Wing. The Republicans are ma
king great efforts to retain Connecticut
and Rhode Islsnd. Mr.. Corwin has left
to speak in both States. Hon. II. B.
Stanton, of Central New York. has been
induced to leave his professional engage

cut and Rhode Island. Other speakers
are to follow. The State Central Com

CONTEMPLATED ExRoRTIoSs AT CHARLES
Direct information was laid before the
Democratic Congressional Committee on
Friday night to the effect that every man
who registered his name at the Charleston
hotels during the sitting of the ConVen.
ton would be charged seven dollars per
day; an ordinary parlor and chamber
will cost fifty dollars daily. A project is
on foot to charter q large steamer, in
which the delegates can live during tbs
meeting of the Convention. The Nation
al Committee have no power to change
the place of meeting. The Charleston
Mercury thus speaks on the subject:
"The six hundred and fifty gentlemen
who compose the Convention will be ia
ken good care Of. and preference given
them. About one hundred have already
been invitetl to accept the hospitality oil
the citizens, and many more undoubtedly
will ha Init the MYRIAD hangers on who
are not admitted to the floor of the Con.
vention must take their chances for food
and sleep. 1t is greatly to be desired
that their number may be reduced to as
small figure as possible"
This is rather unkind to members oil
Congress and other politicians who pro-
posed to go down and help the Conven-
ton in its work. Besides, most cities
like to receive visits of strangers. buI
Charleston seems an exception to the
rule.
