MEN have Deen known 10 SPEAK ulsrts peCtluIs vi
the North Pole without disturbing it's GOODNESS in the
least Or so far has been rtained, having any evil
intentions of serious character against it. Keeping
this fact in view, inclined to the belief that
rather excited man whom beard talk last week,
really meant harm in hastily objurgatiug both hoL
DEN and VANCE What be really meant was to cnrse
this constant wranging that some parties keep up IN
this State for their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT lie was I'M
patient of the idea that standing on the threshold
of what all look forward the mcs bloody and mcs
critical campaign of the war, the people of North Gar:
DINA should be set at variance, disturbed annoyed
merely for factious purposes.
We confess to of the feelings of the outspoken
gentleman, although do not care to use his express
sons. We heartily sick of this eternal wrangle,
thus pertnaciously kept up-kep up on purpose-pre-
meditatedly, and might say with malice afore-
thought. There was need for gubernatoria strug
gle this year in North Carolina The outs" the so
called falsey-named Destlucsves " content, for
peace sake, to be the outs" The candidate of the
selfstyled CONSERVATIVES " was and is the incumbent
The men a that party were and are the ins,' for
after all the humbug that has been blown around about
Governor VANCE throwing himself into the of the
" Destructives,' and go FORTH and on, do not
think that single wellautbenticated instance be
cited where any, the very least office preferment n
ME gift Of tie State has been given to any OF
| he latter party. Governor VASCs has not thrown
himself into their certsinly, can it be said
that any support II ey may be willing TO accord to him
is The result of personally interested motives.
They overlook all this. They think this is no time
for eectoneering or political intrigues divisions
Will any one say that it is? They know that Govern
or Vance is not their Dan ard those who assert
differently, know that be is not but however this may
be- or whatever grounds of complaint they may have
they are Satisfied with Governor Vance's position and
general conduct as Governor of the State they are
sick and tired Of political weworkng and contention
they waive all merely personal party of dis
satisfaction, and they say-Let Governor Vance be
elected let Us have no division among ourselves. We
squabbe for no State patronage We seek no politi.
cab differences and no political triumphs.
Aud this is has been the feeling of the people at
large. If a different feeling bss been excited, il
divisions have been pre- NOTED, the fault, and it is
grave one, the rspoLsbity, ard it is heavy, rests
with those who have excited that ieeng-have pro-
noted those divisions.
Upon whom does this responsibility rest? Who are
those who, while protesting friendship for Governor
VANCE have ken secretly forging the weapons Of op
position, weaving the web of political intrigue casting
out the net of 6tmagoguem to enangle the unsuspect
ing in its meshes
Can there be any doubt upon the subject Can
there be than to this question Have
not Mr.. HOLDEN ard bis friends been doing these
things? Is not Mr.. HOLDEN the sefnominated can
didate who to subserve bis ambitious projects is
seeking to create oil this turmoil in North Caroline?
We confess that we have little patience with this
trumpery. We have little time or inclination to en-
gage in this intestine squabble We repeat we are in
the ositon of the irate gentleman. We feel like OBJ
jurgatDg those who compel US to put on the long dis
used harness of political discussion. Why will the
ntrgues of certain clique always keep the State in
hot water Some such people like hot water it is
their element. It is not ours and we do not like it,
