The Democratic National ConventiU
SECOND DAY.l


1t would be impossible. for US to copy into our
columns the lengthy reports of the proceedings contained
in the Charleston papers There appears to be nothing
in them which would be of material interest to our read
erS beyond what we have already laid before them
received by telegraph.
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
Mr.. Gushing on taking the Chair as permanent Pre-
sdent of the Convention proceeded to address the dele
gates as follows:
Gentlemen OF the Convention I respectfully tender
you tne most earnest expression OF my profound graft
ude for the honor which you have this day done me in
appointing me to preside over your deliberations It is
however, responsible duty imposed much more than
high honor conferred In the discharge of that duty in
the direction OF business aud of debate or the preserya
ton of ORDER it shall be my constant endeavor faithfully
and mpartialy to o6icate here your minister and
most humbly to reflect your will.
In great dellberative assembly like this it is not the
presiding officer in whom the strength resides it is not
MS strength but yoursyour intelligence your sense of
Oroer, your instinct OF se-respect rely, gentlemen
confidently upon you, not upon myself for the prompt
and parliamentary dispatch of the business of this con-
Vention.
Gentlemen: You have come here from the green hills
OF the Eastern States from the rich States of the impe
rial CENTRE from the sunghed plains of the South from
the fertile States of the mighty basin of the Mississippi
from the golden shores of the distant Oregon and Cali
tornla. Loud cheers. You have come hither in the
exercise OF the highest functions of free people to par
ncpate and to aid in the election of future ruler of thu
republic.

party OF the Union, whose proud mission it is to main

sss- We noticed a few days since, in the Raleigh
q Daily Press a correspondence between Gov Ellis
and Daniel G. Fowle, Esq, relative to conversation
the Governor had with Mr.. F. concerning the Wake
County Workngmens Association, wherein it appears
that Frank I. Wilson, late of the Raleigh Standard,
is charged with having circulated the address of the
Workingmen's Association.
Now, it appears to us that Mr.. Wilson has perfect
RIGHT TO circulate documents if be fit but he has
no right to do so at the expense of his party the
success of the partys candidate If Mr. W. is opposed
to the election of Gov Ellis disapproves of The plat
form adopted by the party in its late Convention, he
might well go out of the party at once and join the
opposition An open enemy is always to be preferred
to q secret foe.

STEAM COMMUNICATION TO NEW YoRK.-By refer
ence to our advertising columns, it will be that
contract has been effected by the Cape Fear and Ocean
Steamship Navigation Company for the building Of one
of the iron steamers to ply between Wilmington and
New York. Until this steamer is finished, propeller
will run regularly between the two ports twice month";
or ofener if the business requires it. Merchants IN
the interior will find that their goods will be received
with greater dispatch than heretofore and we believe
quicker than by any other route This is matter Of no
little interest to the tradesman.
The Wheatgrowers in the interior will nd this route
cheap safe and expeditions for the export of their
to the New York market The Naval Store maker or
dealer will also have opportunity of placing the arti
Gle on the market in New York in a much less time
than they have heretofore been enabled to do In fact
the general transportation business will receive new
impetus and all will come in for share of the benefits
to be derived from this enterprise The line must
prove success.

laying was commenced the Tarboro' Branch of the
Wilmington & Weldon Railroad two weeks SINCE and
