For Governor.

o. EOx 0OVeInOfs
the position Of Chief Executive Of North Carolina
believing there is no more efficient man in the State
for that position The people desire mai snita,
beto the times, to fill the Guberna.nriai Chair of
this State One en,inently qualified to couduct The
affairs of the State safely through any great emer.
gency that is likely to arise from the present ur,.
equal contest in which the State is engaged All
candid and unprejadiced men must admit that W.
A. Graham is the man. We need good mana
great man-one endued with sufficient nsres. We
need man Of experienee-one whe knows his dri-.
ty, and knowing it, will do it without favor or at
fiction. WIN. A. Graham is Che man. We need q
man who will have the daring to tell the thousand
and ONT Office seekers that hang about Raleigh, and
the inefficient corpse Of partizans that have been
controlling the destinies Of this State to Take up
your bed and walk" H.E
The people desire man, who while he conducts
our military matters in the most efficient manner,
will have an eye single to the great pecunary in
terests of the State VIM. A. Graham is the man.
No truer man-no better man lives in North-Caro-
lima than Mr.. Graham. He is favorably known by
all the people, and to him they are wiling and de-
sire to confide the keeping of the interests and
honor of the State He is no partzan, but has Ia
bored persistently for the good Of the people. :.
We have reason to believe that threefourths OF
the people of North Carolina desire to vote for Mr.
Graham at the next August election.
If Mr.. Graham consents to be = candidate, we de-
sire to see if the no party shriekers will come up
and vote for him. We desire to know if they are
willing to lay down old party preudices and labor
for the good of our country.
The honor of North Carolina has been insulted
by an invading foe, who polutes her soil by his
hallowed foot This is plainly the result Of the in.
efficiency of those in power at Raleigh. The peo.
pie are for turning out Of Office those who have
shown themselves unworthy of Office, and putting
in their place good and efficient men. 1t is only
by this course that We can expect to retrieve our
misiortunes.
We shall continue to advocate the election of Mr..
Graham, until We are convinced that there is some
one else in the State Efficient and better quail
flied for the position of Governor, or until as
certain positively that Mr.. Graham refuses to be a
candidate.-HendersOn Times.
While there are many patriotic and worthy gen.
temen whom We would chcerfully support for Gov
ernor, yet have no hesitation in saying that our
first choice is WILLIAM a. GRAHAM, of Orange.
Having served since May last with Gov Graham as
member of the Convention, we have had the best
opportunities of observing his course. We believe
be has the best interests Of the country at heart,
and that since the revolution commenced, he has
exhibited little party feeling any citizen in the
State. In addition to superior administrative talent,
and enlarged information Of all kinds, he is more
fully posted, perhaps, in military affairs than any
mere civilian among u.s. and in making this state
ment as to his knowledge of military affairs be-
leve We will be sustained by every member of the
Convention The State contains no ADLER or more
patriotic man than Gov Graham, and no one who
possesses to greater extent the public respect and
confidence. We trust he will consent to lie a can.
ddate and that the people generally, disregsrding
party in this crisis will elect him Governor He is
the man for the times
