A MIsREpREsENTAT1oN.- When Gov. Ellis was
with us, report was circulated that he was hostile
to the Raleigh Standard. Though at that time
contradicted, we find it still in circulation. We as
sure our Democratic friends that we have good
grounds for saying, that the best understanding
exists between Gov Ellis and Mr.. Holden of the
Sandard both politically and personally, and that
this genial state Of feelings has not at any time been
interrupted. - GoLdsboro' Tribune. :sr!uH rassr
Inasmuch as our friend of the Tribune has taken
the trouble to correct the ror referred to, We will
add that what he has said in relation to Gov Ellis
and oursef is strictly true.

MAJ. j. T. GILMoRE.-By the letter received by

be seen Maj Gilmore has declined to permit his
name to come before the County Convention for re-
nomination. The numerous friends Of the Major
will regret this, not only on account Of his past
valuable services, but also for the great and para
mount consideration of his personal worth and con-
sistency as a democrat We trust that Major Gil

he may yet be able to serve his party and State in

MR. EDITOR: hare noticed going the rounds of
tary Convention, one signed by committee of the

only convention of the commissioned officers. As
a member Of military company, and deeply inter-

Organizations Of the State am decidedly Of the

understand the statement is in circulation in
certain portions of this State that have "tarmed
ont" the Standard office to Mr. Frank |. Wilson,
and that my control over the Standard is only NOM
na and not real. Certainly no intelligent per
son who is unprejudced can believe this state
ment as my name appears in every issue Of the
Standard both as Editor and Proprietor; but, since
the uniformed may be imposed upon by it, and in
order to leave designing and unscrupuous persons no
room for their Misrepresentation, have thought it
my duty to contradict as l do most emphatically,
the statement referred to. On the lst November,
1859, when Mr. Wilson retired from the Editorial

a character for veracity by attending to their own
business, and letting other peoples alone. This is

To the members of the Democratic Convention:
GENTLEMEN: have been informed by commit
tee of~your body, that am nominated as candi-
date for the State Senate. 1t is painful to me to
| show the appearance of being dsobging to the
people of Cumberland and Harnett, among whom
have so many warm and fast friends, but duty to-
wards those who are dearest to me-dear to me as
life and honor-forbids me now to engage in public
affairs. In retiring from the bench, position hon.
orable in ITSELF and worthy Of the high ambition Of
professional men, | vacate an office which is dis.
carded by me only because it crosses the path Of
domestic duty. say to you most sincerely that in
declining The nomination, made without my desire
made by friends who have done so much for me,
am paying compliment to my power of resistance
and testing the force of my moral manhood.
With the best Of wishes for all Of you,
am your friend.
The ticket before the Democracy of Cumberland
and arnett is an excellent in every respect. As
a matter of course it will be triumphantly elected.
That clever and popular gentleman, Frank N
Roberts, Esq. was also nominated for Sheriff.

Lord Brougham.

The installation of this distinguished no.
bleman statesman and scholar, as Chancellor
Of the University of Edinburg, took place on
the 18th of May, on which occasion his Lord
ship, (now nearly SO years old made q
speech before the crowded assemblage,
marked with all the fire OF genius and vigor
of thought Tor which his earlier efforts were
celebrated, He is certainly one of the most
remarkable men of the present age, and has
contributed more, perhaps, towards the adj
vancement of Literature, and the diffusion
Of useful knowledge, by his active and in
cessant labors, than any contemporary wri-
ter. He has won laurels in every field of
intellectual conflict which he has entered,
and his fame is co-extensive with civiliza-
ton. In every land his splendid powers and
proves are known and honored.
In the late Inauguration ceremony at Ed
inburg, he displayed an elasticity and energy
of mind, as evidenced in the address which
he delivered, that savors of any thing else
than ocioycnd1ianiSDl. Ills words have the
ring of the native metal, such as they had in
the hey-day Of his life. The most striking
features OF the speech to which we refer are
the extremely graphic exposure of the errors
VI lIlc III ~ poiSoi, "hiSh iSN w ii1o 1o"AA
fall, and his eulogy Of Washington.
To Washington, he pays the following
glowing tribute, and it is evident that his
whole heart is in the eulogy, SO cloquently
and Justly pronounced:
"But in Washington we may contemplate
every excellence, military and civil, applied
to the service of his country and Of mankind
"a triumphant warrior, mistaken In conf
dencc when the most sanguine had right to
despair: successful ruler in all the Difficult
ties of course wholly notwithstanding
the formation Of {; new government for q
great people, the first time SO vast an expert
ment had ever been tried by man-volunta
rly and unostentatiously retiring from SUI
preme power with the veneration of all par
ties. of all nations, of all mankind, that the
rights of men may be conserved, and that his
example might never be appealed to by vul-
gar tyrants. 1t will be the duty Of the his
torian and the sage, in all ages to omit no
occasion Of concentrating this illustrious
man: and until time shall be no more, will q
test Of the progress which our race has made
in wisdom and in virtue be derived from the
veneration paid to the immortal name Of
Washington. "-lstersbny Express.

Conservative Sentiment.

See what an able and patriotic Democratic
paper, the Mississippi Conservative, says of
the Constitutional Union ticket. The Con-
sentative says:
"The Constitutional Union Convention,
which assembled on the 9th ult, at Balti-
more, after harmonious Convention of two
or three days, nominated John Bell, of Ten
nessee for the Presidency, in 1860, and Ed
ward Everett, Of Massachusetts,, for the Vice
Presidency. The names Of Bell and Everett
OCCUPY prominent and honorable positions on
the page Of our country's history fer the last
dirty years, and, forgetting whatever feel
ing; Of the partisan We possess, candor
prompts Us to say, unhesitatingly, that the
ticket, in our opinion, is one of the strongest
in point Of ability and intelligence. that has
been presented to the American people by the
opponents of Democracy since 1874. AS to
what reception it will meet with before the
people, will depend, we believe, on the action
of the Democratic Convention, which assem-
bles at Baltimore, on the 18th of June. If
that Convention still prolongs the disastrous
and altogether unnecessary diversity of feel
ing, jealousy and division which characterized
itsaction at Charleston, we believe the South
ern people will become disguised with the
whole affair, and Indifferent to the success and
perpetuity Of the Democratic party, and vote
for Bell If the delegates to the Democratic
Convention which assemblies at Baltimore,
deliberately refuse to rc-endorsc those prin-
cipIes upon which we have 50 often triumph
ed, upon which the country has made such
rapid strides in prosperity and greatness,
upon which we, as an Individual member of
