Wa learn that the true Conservative ticket In
Gvlford County for the Legislature is as follows:
For the Senate, Robert P Dick, Esq. For the Com
mons. D. F. Caldwell, Esq, Col Abram Clapp, and
Col A. s. Holton. These gentlemen are all Con-
servatiyes latter the stratest Sect" and their elec
ton is regarded as certain by large majority.
Mr. Dick is well known to our readers as . gen.
temau of fine attainments and as sterling patriot.
He was devoted friend and active supporter of
Mr.. Douglas for the Presidency. and did every thing
in his power to prevent this awful war. For this
hs was prescribed by the administration at Rich
mond as unworthy to hold Office at his hands-a
compliment to Mr.. Dick as marked as the venom
was bitter which could lead an administration of
vhols people in the midst Of common war, to at.
tempt to punish citizen for the honest exercise Of
bis political rights. Mr.. Dick was afterwards elect.
ed to the State Convention by the people Of Gull
ford, in which body he was uniformly found on
the side of Conservatism and popular rights. lie
is now the Conservative candidate for the Senate in
Guilford, and we learn from those who are well in.
formed as to public sentiment in that County that
bis election is certain by large majority.
Mr.. Caldwell has frequently served the people Of
Guilford in the House of Commons, and has always
been noted as public man for his opposition to
arbitrary power, to abuses of every kind in the ad'
nlnistsfon Of public affairs, and for his devotion

for Holden or any other who pledges himself to
vote for Holden, will Immediately be arrested for

say these positive orders from the authorities At
Richmond. Will Gov Vance assure tho people
that tho above is willful falsehood and that no
such orders exist and will he be 80 kind ~ to
assure the people that on the day of the election
every man has right to vote for whom he pleases
or will he let it pass by unnotced by him, with
the hope that it will only cause him to get more
votes and Holden less? There is another man

The Stallfsderate. system.

We promised in our last to make full expo
sure Of this corrupt and corrupting system but We
find it so thoroughly exposed by our friend of the
PTogrs's that We adopt his articles in lieu Of any
remarks for the present Of our own. We give
elsewhere today an article from the Progrsss on
the subject and the following il from that paper
of Thursd.y:- b.
FoRAar.-The stallfederate corruptions which
existed under the former administration was ono of
the leading issues in the canvass two years ago,
and here in Wake and in facf throughout the State
the whole subject was freely and thoroughly dis.
cussed, and not Conservative candidate was to
be found who did not denounce it in unmeasured
terms; but now, Gov. Vance having gone over to
the Deatructves and secessionists, we find gentle
men whe profess to be Conservatives, not only de-
Tending the system but actually the recipients of
the belsasas Towing from this outrage upon the
honest masses. The candidates that have been put
forward by the Destructives in this county, voted
against the system and denounced it then but now
they are supporting candidate for Governor who
has allowed it to be increased tenfold. The peo.
pie Of Wake voted sgainst stall federates and their
corruptions then, ano they will do the same thing
now.
Diligent efforts have been made to arrive at the
quantity Of forage these shade Colonels, Majors,
Captains and Lieutenants are permitted to draw,
but all the subordinates positively refuse to give
such information, acting no doubt under the or.
ders of Governor Vance, for he we'll knows that if
the people could be placed in possession of the real
facts, As regards these stall.federate privileges
which are enjoyed by himself, staff and all the at
taches and attendants, thousands who now cling to
him would desert him and vote for Mr. Holden.
The keepers of the State crib refuse all informa-
ton, but the following statement We think will
about cover the "forags drawn by each officer with
the rank of Major, per month, leaving out forage
for one horse, which he is allowed to draw under
the present corrupt system of Gov. Vance:
