Governors Election.

The Richmond Enquirer having espoused the
cause of Mr. Johnston in this State the Richmond
Examiner expresses the following views, and gives
the resolutions of the Wake meeting and Col
Vance's letter. By whom Mr.. Johnston was pro-
posed as compromise candidate we do not know.
One thing every body knows, that all propositions
OF compromise coming from conservatives have been
promptly rejected by the spoils party, while the
conservatives dare not object to any proposition
coming from that party without mourning their
abuse and the charge that the conservatives wish to
stir up partizan strife. The conservatives must
yield everything to the Stalllederates, or be de-
nounced as partzans and traitors
"A sharp contest has been raised over the office
of Governor of the State OF North Carolina, the
election to fill which will be held on the first Thurs
day in August Colonel William Johnston has been
announced as a candidate. A North Carolina paper,
which is friendly to his election states his position
thus:
Colonel Johnston was an Old Line Wing and an
old Union up to the failure of the Peace Con-
greSS, when he became alra secessoniSt, as some
men term it. He was proposed as compromise
candidate.
The other party have made their platform and Sc
lected Colonel z. B. Vance as their candidate. A
paper describes his position thus:
We perceive with some regret, that few papers
in the State object to Colonel Vance because he was
not before breakfast secessionist The objection,
it seems to US, is u very uncharltable and absurd
one when we remember that Colonel Vance not
only advocated eternal separation from the North
soon as all hope of a fair and honorable compromise
failed but calamity drew his sword and went forth
to meet the enemy.
1t is hardly necessary to alude particularly to the
platforms Of the respective parties. The platform
sent forth by the friends of Colonel Johnston
abounds in commonplace geEeralteS and is nothing
more than the usual rIgiIarole of tOadyiSm and
sycophancy to these in power. The friends of Col
onel Vance, on the other hand, have the holiness
and independence to recognize the fact that there
many wrong men in wrong places, and declare in
favour of reforming the administration of public
affairs" and placing better IN office" This
is the true dOctrine-it is alone what will save us
and vet one that will always be met with the OPP
position of old party hacks. DSclaiming anything
like interference or dictaton part except so
far the general interests of the COnfederacy are
involved in the result and willing to rest the matter
with the judgment of those whom it immediately
concerns, we cannot refrain as co laborerS in the
good work of reformation in the administration of
our public affairs, from giving the platform of the
Vance relormed'D party, and the modest ana
admirable reply of Colonel Vance, accepting the
nomination rendered him."

CRAzY.-A friend has called attention to a
communication in the State Journal which pur-
ports to be from Shelby in which the writer, speak
ing of the Standard, says:
why does not Gov. Clark stop this miserable
sheet at once? or why does not President Davis
send file of men to Raleigh, and take him and try
him toTy?'
The only fault which these crazy and malignant
people find with us is, that we are an outSpoken
conservative, and were once Union man, though
we as much opposed to the Union, and as
true to the South any one. The only reply we
have for those who threaten to arrest us is come
This is still land of free thought and free speech.
We are Just as independent as the Constitution of
the Confederate States, and as determined on doing
our duty, as 9oe understand it, as old StOnewall
himself Come on, We malignants, we will give you
a lively time. But mark, We vipers when ye i'm
peach loyalty, and hiss out the charge that we
are not true to the South, We engaged in work
which even the devil himsefwill not thank you for,
for his is injured when his subjects lie unrea
sonably. Moderate lies, We vpers, and an abun-
dance of them is what your master wants. Let this
crazy correspondent of the State Journal read this
and then 60 and hang himself He vii! thus, most
probably, save the officer of the law from future
trouble; and let those who published the crazy
falsehood, knowing 1t to be so, "go and do like
wise"

GRANVILLE, June 81, 1862
Mr. EDIToR:-Allow me to nominate, through
your columns, Major O. c, Backnall, as a candidate
for the Commons branch of the Legislature, for the
County of Granville. The hour has arrived when
political discussions should be avoided as they only
tend to divide people who should be united-re-
cognizing but one foe and striking for but one ob
ject-the independence of our country. Hence it
is hoped that there will be but one set of candidates
in the field. Major formerly Captain) Blacknall,
now holds position in his regiment where his SER
vices will probably be but little needed during the
winter months, and seat in the Legislature would
relieve him temporarily from camp duty, and enable
him to recuperate from the effects of the wounds
received in the battle Of Chckahominy. His pa
triotic impulses and general intelligence are well
known He would scorn to quit the field and seek
office in an hour like the present Let the people,
therefore, without regard to old party lines, COM
pment him during his absence by placing him in
position where he can serve his county in egisla-
tion and gain strength for repetition of his useful
in the field. feel satisfied that this announce
ment will receive the appreciation OF a large majori.
ty of the people Of GRANVILLE.

The Infamous Butler.

The brutal proclamation Of Butler, the command
ing General of Lincon'S army at New Orleans, in
regard to the ladies of that City, is exciting as was
reasonable TO expect the condemnation of the civil
lied world.
Canada and European papers denounce it in terms
as strong as those used 10y the Southern press. In
the British House OF Lords, on the 18th Of June,
Earl Carnarvon condemned it in severe terms, as
without precedent in the annals of war Eirl Rus
sell said the government believe! it to be authentic
and he hoped the (Lncoln) government would for
its own sake diSavow iJ-that the usageS of war
should not be aggravated by proclamations of this
character Sir }. Walsh, in the House of Com.
mons denounced it as repu5nant to the feelings Of
the nneteeth century.
Lord PamerSton thought that no man could
read the proclamation without feelings of the deep
est indignation. Cheers. II '5as u proclamation
to hich he did not ScrHpie 10 dttdch tie epithe ct
int;t,aous. Cheers An Engli>hman must blush
to think such an act mad heen committed by Il man
belonging to the Anglo Saxon race If it had
sprung from some barHarouS people not within the
pale of civilization, might have regretted it. but
would not have been surprised. But that such an
order should have been issued by soldIer-by n
man who had raised himself to the rank Of a Cen
eTal-waS subject not less Of establishment tnan Of
pain. lie could not bring himself to believe that
the government of the United States would not, as
soon as they had notice Of the order have stamped
1t with their cenSurc and condemnation"
More than a month has elapsed since the issue Of
this proclamation and yet there is evidence that
Lincoln has diSavowed it.

For the Commons:
QUENT. BUSBEE

We copy the above from the Register, for the in
formation of our numerous readers. We suppose
the British paper here has the same. The Conted-
crate ticket! Confederate candidates! These are
the candidates which the noparty partizans intend
running in opposition to the peoples Ticket"
What is meant by Confederate candidates? Are
not all the citizens of the Southern States Confed
crates? Our national government is styled Con-
fedcrate-our army is called Confederate What
then? Do they mean that they call upon North
Carolinians to vote for Col. Johnston, not for a
State Governor, but Confederate Governor, and
are the office holders and partzans tired of having
a Peoples Governor? 1t looks very much like it
Again do they ask the good people of Wake to
elect men, not to represent them in the Legislature
but the Confederate government? What else can
they mean? Tut, TUT Tired of the peoples ru-
ng-tircd of State authority under the people, they
go in for Confederate governors Confederate sena-
tors, Confederate everything, as the sure road to
office and place. Let the people beware! There is
much meaning in a name, and often a double
meaning.
We have heard it said since the above announce
ment was made, that Mr. Clements has shown his
good sense by declining to be candidate on the
above ticket.
