1t is also recommended that
the Delegates from the First and Sec
ond Congressional Districts in attend
ance upon the State Convention nomi-
nate Congressional candidate and a
Presidential elector for each of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
remoteness, some Of the counties of the
Third Congressional District may not
be fully represented, has induced the
Committee to leave the selection of the
time and place for making their Con-
gressi,nal and Electoral nominations
entirely to the discretion of the Demo
cratic and Conservative voters Of that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives,
Your political brethren in all parts of
the country where elections have been
held within tho last twelve months,
have achieved magnificent victories.
The gteat reaction which is to redeem
the ration from tyranny and misruie

progress is irresistible. Let us, tho,

should be lost--no exertion spared.
County, Township and School District
organizations should at once be COM
pletef, and every man who can be
moved to espouse the right, should be ap-
preached, informed and melted to ac-
ton. The work is in Jour hands. If
you are true to yourselves, your State
and your country yoa caBnot fail.
Success will crown your efforts, and the

colonel Edward %. Hall.

The nomination of this gentleman as the
Conservative candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor is Just compliment to his abilities
and services. The people of New Hanover
county most sensibly appreciate the favor
able estimation in which their fellow-cltl-
zen is held, and believe that the selection
will prove popular throughout the State
Colonel HALL has frequently been honored
by the people of his native county with I'M
portant trusts, and that he still retains their
confidence in the highest degree, is the
best evidence of how he has discharged
them. A gentleman of the finest social
qualities, a public man of ability and ster-
ling integrity, soldier of excellent Judg-
ment and chivalrous bearing, and citizen
of unblemished reputation, he has won the
respect of his fellow men in every position
in which he has been placed. His selec-
ton to the important position to which he
has been nominated in this crisis, displays
great Judgment on the part Of the Ezecu-
tive Committee, and will be gratefully ap-
preciated by Colonel HALL and his friends
in this section of the State. We are GER
tain that his name will add strength to the
ticket. an assurance which the white peo-
pie of North Carolina will make good on
the DAYS of the election.

TIL. uetrht OF the Ridiculous.

The nomination of d. L Russell, Jr., as
Judge for this District, would be good
Joke if it was not SO serious matter. We
suppose the young man had to be paid
something for his desertion of his fellow
citizens, and as the Radicals generally nomi-
nate men for Offices they are least capable
of filling, they put up Russell for Judge
Well, they evidently know their man. If
he knows any law he has not been made
familiar with the intricate science of the
profession by an extensive practice. We
doubt exceedingly if he ever attended to a
case, above that of an assault and battery
in the County Court. But as orthodox
loyalty is sought after and not legal ac-
quirements, we suppose our bench is to be-
come the abode of modern Dogberrys.
Long live the State.

In addition to the nomination of ID. L..
Russell, Jr., for Judge of this Judicial Dis
trict, we learn that the Radicals nomina-
ted Mr.. A. ". Fisher, of Bladen coun-
ty, for Solicitor. We know nothing of this
young man, but think he received his IL
cense to practice law IN North Carolina by
virtue of Gen. Abbott's resolution or ordi-
nance, giving that permission to any one
proving good moral character. We un-
derstand, however, that he is more of a
samyer than larger, but the substitution
of one letter for another is about the least
of Radical outrages of the present day.

The Radical Pow-Woyv.

The Radical Pov-Wovv.
Judging from the reports of the Radical
Convention, and the out-croppings since its
most undignifed and disgraceful. Ger
tainly the ticket which it has submitted to
the people implies that not one scintilla-
ton of decency or honor sparkled in the
breast of single man who composed that
body. Its nominees upon the State ticket
are without decent personal regulations,
and, except Holden, without respectable
ability. Their nominations will cause en-
thusiasm no where, and the Raleigh Regis
ter, Radical paper, truly says "They will
be heavy weights to carry, and their nomi-
nation by the Convention implies great
confidence in the strength of the cause.'
Holden's name is, indeed, the synonym
of all that is mean, dishonest and hateful
to nine tenths of the white people of North
Carolina, and will cost the ticket many
thousands of votes. Rejected twice by the
white men of the State by majorities, and
under circumstances honorable men would
to be foisted upon the people by means
of the seventy thousand negroes who have
been placed in possession of the ballot
box at the point of the bayonet, and by
the Acknowledgement of a large portion of
the white men by the same process. A
man equally devoid of personal and politi-
cal honesty, q social outcast, a moral bank
rupt, with no instincts above those of
the miserable negroes by whom, and for
whom, he has been nominated, his cleo
ton would be the worst evil which could
possibly be inflicted upon North Carolina,
and we recognize i'll the effort all the
glaring dangers of negro suffrage, and the
concentrated malignity of political adven-
turers to the decent and honorable people
of the State.
Holden's colleagues are in keeping with
himself. Not one respectable name graees
the ticket. Diyested of all political preju-
dice. no honorable man, who will take the
trouble of investigating the capacity, the
character and the record of these men, can
conseientiously say they are fit to have the
control of the destinies of this State.
There is one marked feature in regard to
the nominations. Although the negroes
of the State comprise seven-tenths of the
voting strength of the Radical party. not
one has been placed on the ticket. These
men are very willing to admit the political

Radical Ticket.

If the Radicals had adopted resolution
that no man with a decent character and
honorable reputation should be nominated
upon their ticket for State offices they
could not have "filled the bill " more COM
pletely.
OF Holden and Caldwell it is useless and
impossible to speak. Fhe fathers of the
English language, though anticipating the
weakness and wjckedness of men, never
contemplated the depths to which these
two have lowered themselves, and there
fore did not fashion words or phrases to
suitably represent them.
Jenkins, candidate for State Treasurer,
was negro-trader up to the breaking out
of the war, and what money he has was
made in the traffic of human flesh. He is
now an accepted Radical, and therefore a
good friend of the negro.
Harris, we beg pardon, Colonel Harris,
who desires to superintend public works,
was Colonel of home guards, and was
hunting Confederate deserters until the
surrender.
Coleman is a young man of bad moral
character, and ran away from his home in
Concord to avoid the vengeance of re-
spectacle colored man, whose daughter he
had outraged. He is poor lawyer, but
will do we'll enough for the Radicals.
Menninger is political pedlar from
Ohio. Brick Pomeroy tells some hard
things about his private character, which
we may be forced to publish.
Ashley is a dirty, low fellow, who has
made hisliving among and with the negroes
of this city. Should he be elected, his Of
fetal absence from this place will be of
service to our resident negroes, but those
of the State will feel the evil influence of
this bad man.
God grant that North Carolina may never
be cursed by going under the control of
such men. Their election will throw a
moral and social blight upon the good
name and future prospects of the State.
