Third District.

Coi. OWeH H. Aehai', VI DuPiA' has "SSSPse"
the nomination for Congress rendered him by the
Convention held in the Sd District Col. Kenan's
letter, which We have before US in the Wilmington
Journal and Goldsborough Tribune, is in excellent
taste, and breathes the proper spirit in this crisis
Among other things he says:
"Old party issues are gone, passed away, and we
are now in the midst of most important crisis,
requiring all of energies and to engage in poll
teal discussions, when our country is threatened,
would not only be unpatriotc, but worse than folly
am glad to believe that we are all now of one mind,
and united people, withour party distinctions, as
to the great contest in which we are engaged, hav-
ing common destiny and interest to protect and
defend and that we will prosecute this unholy war
with boldness and vigor, until we are free and
contented and happy people"
But while We have nothing to say against COL
Keenan, and while it is not purpose to thrust our
views on the people Of the Sd District, we must be
permitted to add that the Convention which nomi.
mated Col. Kenan can bind none but those who were
parties to it. There are other candidates in the field
who were not parties to this arrangement by which
Col. K. was nominated. Mr.. Thomas, of Carteret,
and Mr.. Koonce, of Onslow, are also candidates.
They are both worthy men. Either of the three
named would make good representative Let the
people of the District then, decide for themselves
unembarrassed and uninhuenced by the Colds
borough Convention.

While but boy, with his toga Of majority scarcely

self and his constituents. Send him on, gentlemen.
He is true man, and will represent you ably and
faithfully IN Congress-

Inasmuch IS Mr. Gsadles is candidate for Con.
gress in the 10th Distsja Ne have dropped his
name as candidate for Hector and substituted in
in its place that Of A. S Msrrimon Esq, of the
same County This does not'change the character
Of the ticket as Mr. Merrimon's antecedents and
present views are nearly precisely those of Mr..
Gambler. The permanent Constitution of the Con-
federe States expressly declares that no Senator
or Representative, or person holding an office Of
trust or profit under the Confederate States, shall
be appointed an Elector." We invite the attention
Of our contemporaries Of the press to this provision
OF the Constitution. ~
The Fayetteville Observer is satisfied with the
ticket we have presented; the Goldsborough Tribune
adopts it; the Greensborouyh Times, neutral
Sheet says it is as free from old political bias as
any that has been presented the Salisbury Watch
man adopts it; and several other presses have &C.
cepted portion of the tt ket Is satisfactory.
We take this occasion to say, that our ticket was
made out without the slightest consultation with
the persons who compose it They are all well
known public men, and we took the liberty Of using
their names for the public good. They have GER
tainly not sought the position which we have ven
tured as public journalist to assign them, and it
may be that some of them would have preferred
that their names should not have been used; but
We trust that none of them will, at this late day,
forbid the use Of their Names A position Of this
kind, especially at crisis like the present should
neither be sought nor declined; and we 20 further
and say, that would support any one for Elector
with reluctance who might desire the position for
mere political display, or for the purpose Of paving
the way for futnre honors.
Some of our contemporaries have raised the names
of William A. Graham and Thomas Bragg for Elec-
tors for the State at large We would support these
gentlemen cheerfuly, and would also have rails
ed their Names but for the fact that they both
reside in the CENTRE and but for the further
fact that the nomination of both of them for the
State at large is not exactly just to the old seces
sionists. Why do we say so? Because Gov. Ora
ham was an old line Whig and decided Union
man up to the proclamation and Gov. Bragg,
though he was somewhat ahead of Gov. G. in the
disunion movement, was not and is not regarded as
an original secessionst. Therefore we raised the
names of Gov. Reid and Mr.. Pool-the former of
whom was fully identified with the secesstonists,
at least more fully than was Gov Bragg, while Mr..
Pool was an old line Union Wing. Besides, one Of
these gentlemen lives in the East and the other in
| the West
! The last Charlotte Bulletin proposes ticket,
| eight of whom were old secessionists! Does the
Bulletin consider that fair? Is this the way to pro-
mote harmony What objections has the Bulletin
