WITHDRAWAL OF CANDIDATES.

We arc authorized to state that Messrs Wilson
and Davidson have withdrawn their names can
ddates in this county for seats in the State Con-
yention On examination and free interchange
of opinions, it was found that there is really no
difference between the candidates; therefore Mr.
Wilson and Mr. Davidson withdrew. We entirely
concur with them as to the propriety of with
drawing from the canvass, in view of the fact that
we all so nearly occupy the same position, the
condition of affairs, and the absence of any we'll
founded hope for settlement Of difficulties be-
tween the North and South.
1t is of great Importance that we should all be
united in the present crisis. Messrs wilson and
Davidson are opposed to pursuing course calcu-
lated to divide the people of the county into oppo
site parties when there is little Gf any, differ
ence between them. In this feeling we con-
cur, and therefore express the hope of those gen.
tlemen and of ourself that no further opposition
will be made to the candidates now in the field
Messrs Osborne and Johnston. Our friends will
please understand US merely suggesting and not
as directing debating. In view Of Lincoln's
recent declarations and the absence of any
able prospect for fair adjustment of difficulties,
we should all be united in a common cause for
the common gOOd.
Below we publish letters from Mr. Wilson and
Mr. Davidson

Mr. YATES: Permit me TO announce through your
paper to my friends who solicited ME to become a
candidate for seat in the proposed Convention of
our State and who honorcd with a nomination,
which | accepted, that after giving the matter due
reflection aud after conferring with my friends
Judge Osborne and Mr. Johnston, have come to
the conclusion that duty demanded that | should
withdraw from the contest In doing so, think
that am subscribing the interest of the country.
The action Of the Convention, if called will be of
no force until it is ratified by the people. In case
it's action does not meet with my approval, my
services shall be at your command upon the ques--
ton Of its ratification before the people, in case
they desired by you

CANDIDATES FOR THE CONVENTION

UNION COUNTY.-Two meetings were held at
Monroe last week. One nominated Hugh Wilson,
Esq as the southern-rights candidate, the other
nominated Col. j. NJ. Stewart as the Union can

On our outside we publish the proceedings of a
meeting held at Wilson's store week before last.

will give idea of the sentiments of the candidates
Some who are called "Union" for secession unless
an honorable settlement is immediately effected while
some called "soahern rights for the Union if pro-
per be agreed upon though they strongly in
cline to secession We do not mean to intimate by
classification that those not designated southern
rights" are opposed to southern rights.

A CONFERENCE.-THE most important question
20 press upon the people is the great necessity
for a Convention. 1t is not necessary for the
friends of secession to discuss that question so
much at present, for the time for discussing that
at length will be when the Convention is in ses-
sion and when We ale called upon to ratfy the
action of that body. If We can succeed in getting
a Convention authorized, circumstances, pre-
dcted at first, will force it to act, and we think
that action will be favorable to secession. Every
vote possible should be polled for Convention,
for really believe that the peace, happiness and
harmony Of the people of the State depends upon
calling a convention, so that general understand
ing may be had and unauthorized action prevented.
We therefore urge upon all the necessity of voting
for Convention. 1t is the duty of the so-called
Union men to vote for conventional is the duty
of US all to unite in authorizing it, as candidly
believe we will thus be promoting the welfare and
best interests of the Old North State.

Very respectfully,
JOS. III. WILSON.

Mr. YATES After thinking over the matter
aud seriously rejecting upon the present condition
of our country, the absence of all hopes of COM
promise, and the Importance of the whole South
presenting an undivided front in defence Of the
rights and institutions dear to every true
Southerner, | cannot conscientiously continue as
candidate for a seat in the Convention in opposi-
ton to gentlemen (persona trends) who were first
in the field, and from whom | differ in nothing
their pledges to vote for immediate secession;
and | assured that in carrying out their
pledges they will be guided by the circumstances
which may exist at the time they are called upon
to act
Therefore | have resolved to withdraw from the
canvass. In taking this course [ have not acted
without mature deliberations | mean disre-
spect to my fellow citizens Who in their County
Convention unanimously nominated me as their
candidate; on the contrary, | feel deeply indebted
to them, and shall ever acknowledge my gratitude
for their kindness and confidence.

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.-We learn that
there are in circulation bank bills Of the denom-
ination of $50, purporting to be issued by the
Bank of Commerce, at Newbern, in this State.
This bank has never issued any bills larger than
$40. The bill shown purports to be engraved
by the american Bank Note Company and is
well executed. 1t would deceive the best ofjudges,
unless they knew the Bank of Commerce issued
no bills of that amount. Refuse all notes of the
Bank of Commerce more than $l0.-RaL Banner.
Last week named E. B. Kimmons from Cabar-
rus arrested in this place for passing of the
above mentioned bills. He committed to Jail, but
afterwards released bail He said the bill was paid
to him by who passed through Cabarrus some IL
days ago. and it is likely he innocent of criminal
intent, the individual who imposed on him
passed several hundred dollars of the same money to
persons living between here and Columbia.

Gov. Rebellion. d. S. Reid is a member Of
the Peace Conference from this State. In letter
dated " Washington, Feb 49," accepting the nom
inaton to represent his county buckingham in
the State Convention, he says:
-" Before leaving home, entertained the opinion
that the North would not agree to any adjustment
that would prove safe and satisfactory either to the
States that have seeded, or to the slavehodng
States that remain in the Union, and l regret to
be compelled to state that nothing has occurred up
to this time to Justify me to change my opinion in
this respect 1t is true there is a conservative
element at the North but it is too weak to control
the action of the Government
" 1t is too late to stop to discuss the policy pur
sued by the seeding States in Withdrawing from
the Union. The true policy is to govern action
according to the facts they really exist. We
are tired of the strife which threatens domestic
peace and endangers rights of property. This
question ought now to be permanently settled.
" 1t would afford me great pleasure if adjust
ment could be made to reunite all the States upon
terms of equality add safety. But if this cannot
be doue-and | do not believe it can-then it
does that the interest and happiness of both
sections will be promoted by peaceabe separation

Dill TO repeal the law passed for the relief of the

The Revenue Bill was passed with an amend

stead of Is cents as at first reported. An amend
