Democratic Convention.

Washington, says the feeling of the National Com
mittee is strongly favorable to having the Demo-
cratic Convention meet in Baltimore, as it appears
to be impossible for the large masses of the people
who will be likely to attend to get accommodations
at Charleston, even at the most exorbtant prices.
Prominent citizens here offer to furnish the Ma
ryland Institute and several other large halls for
the committee rooms for delegations, &C., free of
cost All the hotels and eating houses are pledged
to make no advance in their prices and the citizens
without distinction of party, will throw open their
doors for the accommodation of the vast crowd
As further inducement the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and roads connecting with it in the West
will reduce their fare one-half

The Raleigh Register is entirely mistaken in say
ing that the Hon. W. W. Avery, the temporary
President of the Democratic Convention, is "ren-
egade Wing" In politics, Mr.. Avery has always
battled for the Democratic party.-CharlOtte Dem.
True. Mr.. Avery has been for twenty years con-
sistent Democrat and that too in portion of the
State where the majority has generally been against
him.
The Editor of the Register is renegade Wing

The CHARLESTON CONVENTION. good deal has
been said in the papers in relation to the high
charges which the hotel-keepers of Charleston are
preparing to make for entertaining delegates to the
national Convention. We thought until recently
that these statements unounded, but we happen
to know that enormous prices are being asked for
rooms, board, &c. The citizens of Charleston owe
it to themselves to hold meeting and see that JUS
tice is done to the delegates or if that cannot be
accomplished to notify the members of the Con-
vention that they cannot be entertained in that City,
One of the delegates from this State is endeavor-
ing to make suitable arrangements for our entire
delegation. He has been embarrassed BY the Gerry
high prices asked As soon arrangements shall
have been made will inform the delegates of the
fact through the Standard.

IN conclusion we tell the Patriot that if it shall
persist in its nsidious attacks on Eastern savehold
ers, we will hold it up to general indignation until
the people of the West who are as loyal on the
question Of slavery as the people of the East them
selves come forward to command it either to do JUS
tice to the East or to be silent "Aristocrats" in
deed! Let it be known that the leading Opposi-
ton organ west of Raleigh considers Eastern gentle
men who own large numbers of slaves {" aristo-
GRAFT" and that he is dealing in the same slang on
this subject which we find every day in the New

CoNNEcTIcUT-Much interest is felt in all quarters
in the result of the pending election in Connecticut
The national Democrats are contending alone with
the Opposition of that State, made up of all isms
clustered around the black banner of Republicanism
Caleb Cushing of Massachusetts,, has been stumping
the State speaking for the Constitution and the
Union; while Lincoln, of Illinois, the man who
charged the Republicans of New York 5000 for a
speech, is stumping for the Opposition. At the
last election the Republican majority in the State,
out of rs, 900 votes was only 1870. A New Haven
correspondent of the New York Herald says:
1.-The republicans especially are working like
beavers as they always do. Money is pouring into
the State in steady stream, which they distr-
buting with liberal hand, and more is ready to any
extent required their best stump orators have been
engaged from abroad to follow up this golden wedge
and documents full of infammatory appeals are
strewn as thick as autumn leaves. And they have
an element to work upon; for if ever republicanism
redoent with the odor of rabid abolition it is
so here"
The election will take place on the 18th of April
we believe. Gov Seymour is the Democratic can
dictate for Governor Of course the result is doubt
full But we call the attention Of our readers to the
fact that the only friends which the South has in
Connecticut belong to the Democratic organization

The LATE GEORGE c. MENDENHALL-We copy
the following notice of the death of this gentleman
from the last Greensborough Patriot
death OF GEORGE c. MENDENHALL-Itis with
great pain that called upon to announce the
death of George G. Mendenhall, ESQ.,, of jamestown
We are not acquainted with all the particulars of
the sad occurrence. We learn, however, that on
Friday the 9th instant, Mr.. Mendenhal left Stanly
Superior Court for home and in the evening of the
same day seen a few miles from Fullers Ford
on the Uwharie River. The gentleman who saw
him aware that the river was quite flush, but
Mr.. Mendenhall had been in the habit of crossing
at that place for number of years. he said nothing
to him. supposing that he would not venture in if
it was too deep for fording On Saturday morning
about 10 o'clock, a gentleman passing saw the
wheels of buggy and horse lodged against raft
just below the ford, and supposing that acct
dent had happened he Immediately commenced a
search, and in a short time found the body of Mr..
Mendenhall lying partly in the water and partly on
the bank-he still held his whip in one hand and
near by him was his carpet bag
Mr. Mendenhall was too well known in this COM
munity, to need any eulogy at our hands. He will
long be remembered for his many excellent quail
ties, as good citizen and friend of the poor. In
the death of Mr. Mendenhal the legal profession
has lost one of its brightest ornaments, and Gull
ford county one of her best and most highly es-
teemed citizens. As lawyer, legislator, in public
and in the social circle at home his ability, his
red attainments his goodness of heart and his kind
and amiable disposition, won the love, respect and
esteem of all who knew him, or came within his
influence.
1t is due to the memory of Mr.. Mendenhall and
due to his many friends that some one who is fitted
for the task should prepare and publish proper
tribute of respect Hoping that it will be done, we
shall say more"

which sustained them in their last moments.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Gentemen are here
from Baltimore, urging the claims of Baltimore for
holding the Democratic State Convention They
state that the hotel keepers have agreed not to raise
their rates. The feeling to-day, is running pretty
high against the Charleston hotel men and it is not
unlikely that the National Committee will meet to
consider the removal of the Convention to some
other city. Richmond, Va, is spoken fayorably of
by a large number of delegates.

alas! This spring the Town elections have without
exception shown great Democratic gain and such
as forsshadows an unheard of victory in the fall.
In the Northwest States to be sure the Republicans
have seemed to gain. Chicago has gone for the un-
popular Wentworth by a large majority, which
shows badly for the Democrats. We cannot expect
with any body to carry any of those States, except
Indiana. Bates, if nominated, would carry Illinois
by large majority, and nothing can stay the tide
in those to the North and West of it. Ohio might
be redeemed by Southern man, but no Northern
man except perhaps, Dickinson, could unite the
factions there.
New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania must
be the -eliance-and they can be relied on if the
South will harmonously unite on Southern man
and present him as their choice. This is the united
opinion of the people of those States. you may rely
They are sick if not to death, to staying at home
election days, of these compromises and availabili-
ties. They sick of the niger for breakfast and
for dinner and for supper. Two thirds or three
fourths of the Democrats believe the negro is better
off in slavery than Free and the other third say that
whether he is or not it is nothing to them. They
believe in the Constitution their fathers made it.
Il is good enough for them and they want it carried
out without any politicians squattng upon 1T or IN
any way putting higher law upon it.
Let then, Southern man be nominated, and you
will see that the cononed partzan feeling the spirit
of patriotism of the people, and the pecunary inter
est of the Cities of New York and Philadelphia, will
carry the three States named beyond all precedent
The partizan feeling will be unit; for all the poll
tcians hoping hereafter for the support of united
South will labor to show their zeal for its nominee
The patriotism of the Northern Democrat is as great
as that of the Southern and he knows full well the
taunts and jeers which the Opposition have been so
delighted to USE and he will bestir himself to serve
a Democratic brother at the South as he would not
to vote for neighbor.
While in carrying the election the pecuniary in.
| huence of those mercantile Cities is immense, and
though always literally used yet for the success OF
a Southern man would be double what it would be
for another; for not only would Democrats do more
for but Republicans would do less to, oppose the
election of an Atlantic State Southern man. than for
or against any Northern man.
In conclusion we can frequently learn from what
our enemies want what we ought to award Ihey
dread of all things lest should nominate South
ern man; let that then be done.
