should be elected Governor of North Carolina whether
Governor VANCE be their first choca or not.
We believe that Governor VANCE will be reelected.
Bus We know that mere preference for Governor
VANCE over his competitor Will not elect the former
Ii you prefer Governor VANCE to Mr.. HOLDEN, it is
your duty to vote Governor VANCE and thus secure
his election and defeat that Of his competitor Votes
Gad not preferences carry elections.
Be assured of this much Dir. HOLDEN Is an old
csmpaianer. He knows how to manage tbs ropes
and pull the wires well an nan in the State in
deed we think be understands this business better than
any man in North Carolina. If you were going to bet,
you might bet saeiy that all has strength will be brought
out He will lose no votes fer want of work and Or
ganzation His forces are we'll drilled AMI thoroughly
organized, much more thoroughly than thoss Of Cover
nor VAECE.
Remember, that the who simply prefers Cover
nor VANCE to Mr.. HOLDEN, and yet does not vote fol-
him. gives Mr.. HOLDEN hatvote for to that does bis
neglect to vote against bin amount. We do no. know
how the thing may stand but should not be surprised
if every would be required to Gov. VANcE's

and vindicate the fair fame of our State.

Some time ago the noble earl opposite expressed a
doubt whether gurs weighing six and half tons
each would not be found too heavy tor broadside
purposes. He has since sscertained that the
two eleven inch guns board the Kearsage, one be
fore and the other abaft the mlinmast, weighed each
and three quarter The real conclusions
be dawn from the conflict between the Kearsage and
Alabama that very powerful guns and very speedy
vessels were required The speed of the Kearsage gave
Der great superiority over the Alabama, which, more
over, not built for fighting purposes, but mainly
with view to cruising. Experiments had shown con-
cusvey that the continuous surface of armor plate
yielded great advantages over interrupted surfaces like
bar iron or chain covering.
