The Republican State Convention, held in
Raleigh last week, seems to have aroused the
ire of all the Fossil Obstructionists and Abb
origines in the State. Let the CALLED jade
VINCE So far, we have not seen fair,
manly argument against what was done in
the Convention but a rule, an attempt
has been made to belittle the importance of
the Convention by attacking its personnel,
course honorable men are not supposed to
adopt; and 40 one else having any legiti-
mate argument to offer. The Union men in
this State can afford to bide their time, for
we are assured that the humble shall he
exalted These, attacks injure none but
those who make them.
The lily concealed disappointment at the
harmony prevailing throughout the ranks of
the Republican party, is made more appar-
ent by such statements as the following which
we find in Charlotte paper:
"They propose, if they can command
strength sufficient in the convention, to per
petually disfranchise SO large class of our
white citizens, as to secure the permanency
of their party domination in this State
This they propose to do by inserting the dis
franchising clause in the constitution, and
then requiring two thirds or three fOurths
majority to alter the fundamental law"
There is no warrant in the proceedings of
Tue haieiSu convention ior any SUCH state
ment as the above. This every fair minded
man admits. The purpose alleged of dis
franchising enough white citizens to secure
the permanency of party domination, is
purely piece of imagery man of straw
bunglinely put up at that. QuintiliGn says:
AN evil saver differs from an evil doer, only
in the want of opportunity" The people III
this State who find so much fault with the
Raleigh Convention, for what was not done,
are the very men Oho think sohat they dare
nat utter-men who are disoyal at heart to
the government, and who, if the military
force was removed, would again persecute
their betters for opinions sake Wilmington

SPECIAL NOTICES.
PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF THE
AMERICAN W ATCH
.-..,'--s''- MADE AT
WALTHAM MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general use and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market. They are simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than tho majority of foreign
watches, which are composed of from 125 to 300
pieces. while in an old English watch there are
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter: sit
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, Pa, Is Dec, 1856.
Gentlemen The watches manufactured by you
have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment There are
now some three hundred of tn m carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
ime-keeper. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saving your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
on this road. As you are aware, we formerly
trusted in those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation but as class they
never kept time correctly, nor have they done
as good service, as yours.
In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessoI, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years.
Respectfully,
EDWARD Fl. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
american Watch Co., WalthGna.
We make now five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy & Co., Waltham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Co., Waltham, Mass.
p. s. Bartlett, Waltham, Mass.
VIM. ElIery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Co., Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be the best material, on the
most approval principle, and to possess every
requisite for a reliable time-keeper. Every deal
er selling these Watches is provided with the
Company's printed card of guarantee, which
should accompany each watch sold, so that buy
ers may feel sure that they are purchasing the
feits and limitations of our Watches sold through
out the country, and we would caution purcha-
sers to be on their guard against imposition.
Any grades of Watham Watches may be pur-
chased of Watch Dealers throughout the country.
