WAsHINGToN Jnna .,

WASHINGTON, June 25.
a. w. Randall. LIST. Assistant Postmaster
General, Senators Doolittle, Cowan. and 9TH
ers, forming the Executive Committee of the
National Union Club of this city, have issu-
ed call for National Union Convention of
at least to delegates from each Congressional
District of all the States, two from each of
the Territories, two fionl the District of Col
umbia, aud four delegates at large from each
State, to be held at Philadelphia on the End
Tuesday of August next Such delegates
will be chosen by the electors ofthe several
States, "who sustain the Administration in
maintaining unbroken the Union of the
States under the Constitution which our
fathers established, and who agree in certain
propositions, including the maintenance in
violate of the rights of the States, and espe-
cially of the right of each State to order and
control its own domestic concerns, according
to its own judgment exclusively, las essen
tial to the balance of power on which the
perfection and endurance of our political ia
brio depend; and the overthrow of thatsys-
tenn by the usurpation and Capitalization of
power in Congress would be revolution
dangerous to Republican government and
destructive of liberty.
The holding of the Convention is endors-
ed by Senators Dixon, Hendricks, Norton
and Nesmith.
THE N. G.. RAnRoAD.-The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of this Road will be
held in Hillsboro' on the 18th of July. The
State of North Carolina is a large stockholder
In the Road, and therefore every citizen and
taxpayer is interested in it's management
We think there is disposition on the part
of some persons to turn out the present Su-
perintendent, Mr.. Wilkes, merely on political
grounds-because he was appointed by the
Provisional Board of Directors-and we now
enter our protest against mixing politics
with the management of our public works
No one will dare say that Mr.. Wilkes has
been deficient in discharging his duties. He
has labored with all his might to put the
Road in good condition, and relieve it of
the embarrassments which surrounded it at
the close of the war, and it would be a
shame to displace him now, simply because
he was appointed under the Provisional
Governors administration. MIR. Wilkes has
not used the Road for speculative purpest
and to aid his own personal schemes, which
is more than can be said for some of those
who managed it during the last two years of
the war. We have made it our business to
inquire into the management of the Road
both during the war and since, and we know
what we are talking about. IF good men
and faithful officers are to be prescribed be-
cause they happenedto be appointed by GER
tain men, or because they voted in certain
way, we shall assist in organizing resistance
and retaliation.
1t is proper to say that we have never had
o word of conversation with Mr. Wilkes ON
this subject, and we know not what his feel
ings are about the matter, but we believe
that certain wire-pullers are at work to dis
place him; and believing, as we do that he
is faithful officer, we have alluded to the
matter in plain way Charlotte Democrat,
