The Meeting on Saturday Last.

We invite the attention of our readers to the pro-
ceedngs of the meeting held in this City on Satur
day last, in our paper to-day.
The people who were present took deep inter-
est in the proceedings and their action was in all
respects harmonious.
We point with pride to the recommendation made
for Governor and members of the Legislature. Col.
Russ, and Messrs. Miller, Laws and Afford are all
good and true men, and will make excellent repre-
sentatives in the Legislature. We entertain no
doubt of their election by large majority.
Two of these gentlemen were at one time Wings,
and two of them were at one time Democrats. But
the conservatives knowing both these old parties to
be defunct recommended these gentlemen, and will
support them, not according to old party lines, but
as friends of the country and of good government
As long as the Democratic party existed, We were
Of the truest of the true to its organization; but
bad destroyed it, and all that is left of it is the
mperishable principle of the right Of the people to
gorern. This principle was broadly announced by
the meeting on Saturday. We look to the old
Jackson Democrats and 20 the old Henry Clay
Wings to reform the government and vindicate
popular rights. They have begun this work, and,
cooperating with each other like band OF brothers,
they will move steadily forward until this work is
accomplished. While thousands and thousands of
their friends are lighting for the country, for the
most part on foot they will endeavor to take care
OF liberty at home The government is the peoples,
and not the property of party or of favored few.
Parylsm, favoritisn, and prescription for opinions
sake mast cease. The people say so, and their will
shall be DONE
And now, if the minority in this County are
aSerSe' as they say they are, to party feeling, let
Them come forward and support Messrs. Russ,
Miller, Laws and Afford for the Legislature. They
are all good and true men, and they are the first in
p tie NED at the call of the people of the County.
DuI II the minority desire strife and dscord in the
must OIL war, and if they not satisfied that the
sChet recommended on Saturday is sound let them
Utlng out their men, and then let the people, who
"'e the source of all power, decide between US.

as SAUL ALSO AMONG TIE PROPHETS T'-Our
amiable and interesting neighbor of the Register
predicted, in his paper of Wednesday, that the Ed
itor of the Standard would be nominated for Cover
nor by the meeting held here on Saturday last;
and that, if not nominated, he would he dis
appointed. WE'LL the meeting was held, and we
were moi. nominated, and not disappointed. Every
friend who approached will bear witness that we
did not desire the nomination, and that we preferred
Col Vance. When will neighbor prophesy
again? And what will the Wilmington Journal
say now, when it sees that its charge that we
using Gov. Graham's name as cloak under which
to bring forward our name for Governor, is so
thoroughly explodedH The truth is, these people
judge us by themselves. They are so thirsty for
offices and spoils, and so firmly convinced that such
things constitute the chief good of man, that they
cannot imagine how any one, and especially Holden,
should think more of others and of the country
than he does of himself They will find out who
and what that man Holden is after while.

sc Not in the Fight,o

No sooner was it supposed, by the Charlotte
Democrat and other destructive journals, that COL
Vance would be run by his friends for Governor,
than they commenced to assail his reputation as
soldier, and to charge that he Oas not in the fight
at Neubern"
Now, we say he Das in the fght-every private
and every officer in his regiment says he was in the
Highland every honest man, who knows anything
about the battle of Newbern also says he was in
the tight. The truth is, he fought the enemy for
one hour and half after Gen. Branch had left
the field. Gen. Branch burnt the bridge while he
was fighting, and left him to his fate, surrounded
BY thousands Of the enemy. We know this to be
so, and will prove it in due time.
We denounce as infamous this attempt to injure
the hardearned reputation of gallant soldier. 1t
is bad enough to insinuate that thousands of Col.
Vance's friends are untrue to the South, because
they were opposed to secession or separation until
the proclamation of Mr.. Lincoln; but it is worse
infinitely worse to attempt for party purposes to
strip him of the laures which he has calamity and
fairly won on the field of battle

AssAILrNG THE GovEKNMENT.-The best friends
of the State and Confederate governments those
who, while they support them with their treasure
and blood at the same time insist that they shall
be properly administered. Every one feels and
knows that public affairs have been grossly mis-
managed, and that reform is exceedingly important.
The framework of government is all that could be
desired and it is the right and the duty of the peo
pie to to it that the government is conducted in
the spirit in which it was founded. The cry that
those who demand reform are enemies of the gov
ernment and are assailing the government, has no
foundation in fact but is subterfuge of those
in power to escape fair investigation of their
duct. This cry is raised BY those who have the
public teat in their mouth. They squeal like pigs
when it is proposed for the good of the country, to
pull them away from the teat. Let one be de-
ceived by this cry. The government must be re-
formed, and those who demand reform are among
the best friends which the government has.

regard to my share in the battle of Newbern, |
have not seen proper to interfere being content to
rest my cause in the hands of my companions in
arms, rhO cere IN the fight But, Sir, in the case
OF gallant officer and chivarous gentleman who
yielded up his life that unfortunate field, feel
/: due the noble dead that l should speak. l al
lude to Maj. Abner B. Carmichael, 10Th Rcgt N C.
Troops. In the official report of Gen. Branch, his
name is not mentioned. Surely, surely, when so
much fulsome adulation is lavshed upon those who
fought and escaped, the aged parents and numerous
friends of brave and intrepid soldier might have
expected at least to hear from his commander
ton of his fate if not Of his heroism. wish them
to know at least that his immediate commander was
not Indifferent to his merits, either a or a
soldier and that his memory is cherished fresh and
green, in the hearts of the entire regiment
The same remarks are applicable to the brave
Capt. W. P. Martin Co. H., these two officers being
the highest in rank who fell that day.
