Mr.. ED1roR:-As the. Cumberland and Harnett
Democratic Convention will soon assemble in Fay
etteville for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the next Legislature, the many warm friends of
Maj. Jno. I. Gilmore would be gratified to see his
name again placed upon the Senatorial ticket. In
the last Legislature Maj G. served his constituents
with acknowledged zeal and ability, and won for
himself high reputation as faithful representa-.
tive His able and successful efforts in behalf of
our Railroad bill is worthy of all commentator,
and shows that he is the man for the times as we'll
as for our section. His personal and political popu-
larity will add strength to our ticket
We earnestly hope that he will allow his name to
be submitted to the next Convention and, If nomi-
mated, that he will consent to run on the ticket.
His nomination, and the acceptance on his part,
would meet with generous support from many Of
his personal friends of the opposition, and most es
pecally from = =
MANY OLD LINE DEMOCRATS,
We would only remark about the communication
of "many old line democrats" that his suggestions
are timely and well taken, and we but speak the

than TO support Maj Gilmore for the Senate. Fay

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN CATAwBA


At the Superior Court in Newton, on Tuesday,
the 18th day of April, the Democrats of Catawba
county assembled themselves in the Court House
for the purpose of nominating Democratic candi-
date to represent the county of Catawba liz the next
Legislature.
On motion of Col. Fl. A. Forney, the meeting was
organized by calling George Leittle, Esq., to the
chair, and G. NJ. Yoder was appointed secretary.
Thos. L. Lowe was called upon to explain the OBJ
ject of the meeting who came forward and did so,
and then spoke Of the present crisis Of the country
and urged the Democratic party to be united and
not to divide, never; no, never let such word be
found in the Democratic ranks as to divide.
Jno. F. Hoke was then loudly called for, who came
forward and maintained the great and noble princi-
pies Of Democracy, and called upon the Democratic
party to stand firm to their principles and not to be
shaken with every fanaticism that was 10 prevalent
through our country; and exposed the black Re-
publican party's positions and views at length. He
urged the Democratic party to unite and go for Ell
lis, and not divide. Then taking up the great hum
bug of an Gd salorem tax system he discussed it
fully, showing its improprieties; and maintained
that the Legislature ought to have the power to dis
crimnate between articles that are to be taxed.
On motion OF VIM. Long Esq, the name of Jonas
Cline Sheriff, was presented to the meeting as the
Democratic nominee, and he was unanimously nom.
mated. E'' +Gs :
On motion of T. W. Bradburn, committee Of
two was appointed to wait upon Mr.. Cline, and in.
form him Of hrs nomination.
The chair appointed 7. W. Bradburn and Frank.
lin Sherrett
After sometime the committee returned. and the
meeting was informed by 7. W. BradUdrn that Mr.
Cline desired some time to consider the matter, and
would inform them Of his determination q. an early
day. III :
On motion of 7. W. Bradburn, the proceedings
Of this meeting were ordered to be published in
