| tS During the war we advised and counseled
harmony among our own people. and since the
war closed the necessity for harmony and good
feeling is as great as it ever was. Therefore we
regret that opposition to Governor Holden has
been brought ont. We do not pretend to say
or intimate that there is no right to run OPPOSE
tion' but we do say that it is bad policy. and we
think in violation of what appeared to be gen.
eral understanding until within the past two or
three weeks. Gov. Holden, since his appoint
ment as Provisional Governor has discharged
his duties with fairness and liberality towards
those who have been his bitter opponents by his
influence with the authorities he has saved US
from vast amount of trouble. Our troubles and
perplexities have been great anyhow, but Mr..
Holden has done muchto keep them from being
increased. No harm to the State could have re-
suited from allowing him to be elected Governor
without opposition, but much good might have
been accomplished and the people more speedily
restored to their ancient rights
What we want now is permission to have our
own people manage their own afairs-we want
to be placed under the civil law aud not kept
under military dominion-we want the Courts
re established SO that rogues and rascals may
ioNFhV <uio dHo swan want
vagrant laws enforced as to prevent negroes
from providing over the country stealing aud COM
hitting various depredations. We believe that
Gov. Holden can do more to satisfy our desires
in these respects than any other man in the South,
and that is the main reason why urge the
people to vote for him at the approaching cleo
tion.4 Besides, he is qualified in every respect to
fill The position, and we will make faith
full and prudent officer.
Another reason why regret that opposition
has been raised to Gov. Holden, is, that it forces
men into combinations. parties. before our
common difficulties are settled The formation
of parties in North Carolina will certainly
emburrass the settlement of questions in which
all our people have common interest. The
people are being divided at time when every
thing should be done to unite them-excitement
is being created at the very time when quiet and
concord should prevail. Gov. Holden has been
Jealous in striving to prevent divisions and bad
feeling, but others seem determined that strife
shall be engendered. Let the consequences rest
upon those who have needlessly aroused division
and contention.
We care nothing now about Mr. Holden's past
political course record The question should
be, has he done his duty in his present position.
and cannot he still do much towards relieving our
people from the difficulties consequent upon their
failure in the late The State Conventions
By undnim0uS cote, returned him thanks for the
faithful manner in which he has discharged his
duties as Provisional Governor. and would it not
be the best policy to ''let we'll enough alone"
We think so, and therefore we make an appeal in
favor Of his election.

We find in the New York Evening Post the
following high compliment TO Judge Battle, in
reference to a speech delivered few days ago
in the Episcopal General Convention in Phila
dclphia:
"Judge Battle Of North Carolina, made an
able speech on the canon prohibiting clergymen
aud candidates for orders to bear arms. lie
cited Hamilton, Madison and other jurists to
prove that the power of the central government
was supreme over all citizens. The government,
be couterded, was unlimited in the exercise of
the powers con6ded 70 it BY the people of the
United States as entirely sovereign within the
legal limit as the autocrat of Russia. He could
not understand how any member of this conven-
ton could for moment think Of passing Tvs
forbiddng the clergy or candidates foc orders
from serving in the army, if called upon SO to
do by the President and Congress of the United
States One of the indisputable rights of every
nation, as laid down by Vattel, Pufeudor: the
English courts and our own jurists, was to de-
mand the services of every one OF its citizens,
regardless of their condition or profession. He
had no desire to see the clergy voluntarily for
sakins the pulpit for the camp, but if called by
authority to 90 there it were most unbecoming
that the church should punish them for their
obedience TO the supreme law of the nation
Toward the conclusion of his most learned aud
statesmanlike speech the gentleman deprecated
any exception being taken to bis argument be-
cause it came from whose State had not
followed out the positions he laid down. If his
arguments and authorities we're good, and none
Of the eminent lawyers present but must admit
thew were, the source from which they came,
sbould not be suffered to weaken their force.
! The ucntleman's speech was received with
admiration by one section of the house and as
founded the other. When he went TO his seat
MANY of the delegates surrounded him. and
taxing hin, By the hand thanked him for his
loyal utteranee."
The Convention inally resolved that it was
inconsistent with the duty, position and sacred
calling for the clcrgymcu ofthis Church to bear
! arms
