then and still think correct to meet the require
ments certain Eastern gentlemen. We could have
secured that nomination by even appearing to modi-
fy our views but we scorned to do that for the man
who dissembles in public will dissemble in private;
and we have never seen the day when we did not
prefer candor and honesty to Office and honor. We
allude to these things only in selfdefence, by way
of reply to the News. We now say to that paper,
that while we have been uniformly true to our own
section and indeed to every section of the State we
have been, and are now good friend to the West
as any politician who has served, or who serves
the West in the public councils; and we call upon
that paper, which has charged US with hostility to
the West. to put its finger upon any word or any
act of ours, which savors to the slightest extent of
opposition to Western interests.
We deprecate the necessity which seems to exist,
for replying even to sectional allusons The State
is now happily Of one accord in all its material and
mental interests The same system Of internal i'm
provements, and the same system of common schools
and the same uniform mode of taxation, are now
common to the whole State. Not jar is heard in
the beautiful and wellarranged machinery by which
one common government, embracing so many inter-
ests from the seashore to the Tennessee and Georgia
lines, and from Virginia to South Carolina, is moved
and directed. Let not the ambitions of or about
men, or contests for Office, be permitted to disturb
this harmony. Sectionalism was the bane of the
old Republic, and it has SCARED, ard deformed, and
dwarfed North Carolina for more than half Gen.
tury Let us Danish it forever

The Right Spirit.

We copy below, from the Wilmington Journal
the Card of T. D. Mcdowell, ESQ.,, in which he an
nounces the people of his District his willingness
to serve them in the permanent Congress, if it
should be their pleasure to elect him. We entirely
concur with Mr. Mcdowell, that sat the present
time nothing is to be more deprecated than useless
division, for the public interests demand perfect
union of our people, and the application of all their
energies to the prosecution Of the unjust and nqui
tous war now urged against u.s." Such sentiments
are creditable to Mr.. Mcdowell as citizen and
patriot They proceed, too, from quarter which
is likely to give them influence; and they are the
sentiments also we make no doubt, of our Senators
elect to the permanent Congress, and of our re-
spected Chief Magistrate, Gov. Clark
TO THE VOTERS OF THE 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Within the last few weeks, have had numerous
solicitations from the different counties of this Dis
trict, to announce myself candidate for the next
Congress of the Confederate States
have reirained from pursuing this course in the
hope, that the people of the District would take
some public action in the matter. The election is
near at hand and it is time that something should
be DONE
do not desire to have the appearance of forcing
myself upon the District but have been induced
to believe by representations made to me by gentle
men from every county in the District that a por-
ton of the people desire to vote for at the en-
suing election.
have not sought the position, for whilst am
aware of the honor it confers, I am equally con-
vinced of the responsibilities appertainng to it.
At critical period of our country's history, like
the present. it is the duty of every person to accept
of whatever post may be assigned him.
If majority of the people should think proper
to assign to this distinguished position, should
feel atered by the manifestation of their partiaty
and should feel it my duty to them as far as
my humble ability would admit.
1t was to me source of great regret that was
prevented, by severe illness, from discharging my
duty to the District in the Provisional Congress /;
but had the consolation to know that the interests
of our people were ably represented by my distin-
guished colleague Hon. Geo. Davis
In regard to canvass of the District do not
believe that the people desire anything of the kind
I as divisions might result therefrom.
Too much speech making was one of the greatest
evils under the Old Government and one OF the
principle causes OF its downfall.
At the present time nothing is to be more depre-
Gated than useless divisions for the public interests
demand perfect union Of our people, and the ap.
pcation Of all their energies to the prosecution Of
the unjust and iniqutous now waged against US.
Very respectfully.

Is THIS so ?-The Winston Sentinel says:-

1--WE have but little doubt that Gov Bragg re-
signed his position as an aid to Gov Clark mainly
on account of the ceaseess grumbling and injurious
innuedoes which were constantly hurled at those in
office by these outside fault-fnders."
Gov. Bragg must be an extremely sensitive gen.
tleman if this be true. We have not seen one word,
good, bad or Indifferent, about Gov. Bragg's con-
fault is found with others in Office If such was the
reason, the public is happily rid Of him. The pub
lie man who does his duty can afford to set fault
finders at defiance. even when they complain OF
himself-Fayettecille Observer.
We copy the above for the purpose of adding that
Gov. Braggs retirement is generally regretted. We
considered him the right man in the right place;
and Gov. Bragg knows, if the public does not, that
this opinion of ours is disinterested Our personal
relations have influence over our public conduct
But we have the best reasons for believing that
Gov B. did not resign because fault was found with
Others but because his oDn suggestions IN regard to
the coast detences acere not needed. Wewill do him
the justice to say that from the first he was keeny
alive to the Importance of the coast defences; and
we believe that if he had been member OF the
Convention, he would have voted for the seven reg
imcnt bill. We believe also, that if Graham and
Bragg had occupied the places of Winslow and 9th
ers, the Hatteras calamity would have been averted
We think we understand the Winston Sentinel.
That paper, when it speaks of "grumblers," intends
threefourths of what it says to apply to US. In re-
ply we call the attention of the Sentinel to three
points:
1st The Wilmington Journal has "grumbled l"
quite as much as the Standard has done and has
gone far even as to propose that portion of the
State shall secede and join South Carolina. What
does the Sentinel think of that?
I'd. In nearly every instance in which we have
complained, the evil or defect has been remedied,
when it could be; and already We almost daily see
many of our suggestions in relation to the troops
and our coast defences carried out. Such "grum-
bling" is, therefore, salutary, and the Sentinel in
stead of censuring, ought to commend us for it
Sd. The Editor of the Sentinel "grumbles as
much as any one in private, but he does not deem
it expedient to put his complaints on record. 1t
might injure him in certain quarters, he were to
speak out boldly. He is prudent Like the Irish;
mans owl, which was exhibited for q parrot he
says nothing, buthe "kapes up divil Of thinkn."

friends in this part of the State And your fearless
advocacy of the peoples rights against the devices
and Vaccinations of political demagogues and party
tricksters by proposing to ignore all party lines in
the present emergency, and to select men for high

merit and efficiency; and above all, your truthful
exposure Of the total nefcency of those at the head
of affairs in State and their gross neglect and
mismanagement of our coast defences, by which
this, the rest portion Of the State is liable at any
moment, to be subjected to the tyranny of Black
Republican rule These, and many other consider
atoms of like character have won the appreciation
and praise of the conservatives of all parties in this
