latter received the electoral votes of
edr States the former will hardly at
tain so many. He will, however, be
able to console himself with the reflec-
ton that letter-writing fiattened out a
much greater General than himself.
From the correspondence published
it is evident that some one OF the high
contracting parties has been guilty of
deception and prevaricatiOn, if not posi-
tive falschood. The intelligent and dis
eliminating reader will have no trouble
in determining which it is. Congress,
with characteristic magnanimity, tried
to head off the President by calling
for the correspondence before it was
finished, and spreading it before the
country in that condition. 1t did not
avail, however. The Presidents reply
to Grants last will be published in
few days, after which it is more than
probable the General and those who
have him in charge will be willing to
drop the subject.
A copy of the Presidents reply to
Grants letter of the Sd, reached us on
Thursday, after the above had been put
in type. 1t is lengthy, embracing let
ters from members of the Cabinet, cor
roborative of the Presidents position in
the controversy. We shall try to make
room for it in our next issue, as it in
wolves matters of too grave importance
to be avoided OFT account of its length !

Duplin County.

We learn from friend that the meeting
of the Conservatives at Kenansville, on
Saturday last, was decided success. Be-
tween one thousand and fifteen hundred
people were in attendance from Duplin,
Onslow and Sampson counties. The plat
form and candidates of the party were en-
Enthusiastically endorsed.
The speeches of Coils CowAN and De
vANE Of this city, and Mr.. STRONG, OF
Goldsboro', are spoken of il the most ex-
allied terms. The enthusiasm which the
speakers excited was very great, and has
had the effect Of arousiDg the people to the
Importance Of the issues of the canvass 1t
is said to have been the most successful
political meeting ever held in the county.

Candidate for Governor.

The declension of Governor VANCE to be-
come the Conservative candidate for Gov
ernor, makes it necessary to select some
other gentleman, which the State Execu-
tive Committee, in connection with the
Executive Congressional and Judicial Com
mittees, propose to do on Saturday next.
We have studiously refrained from
attempting to influence the nomination of
any favorite individual, having the utmost
confidence in the Judgment and discretion
fully aware that it is no time now to press
the claims of personal or party preferences,
but to unite upon those most acceptable to
the people, and the use of their name can
best promote the great aims of the Conser-
vative party in defeating the odious Con-
stitution which the Radicals are attempt
ing to fasten upon the State.
We would not depart from this rule at
this time, was not different course forced
upon us by the fact that the Morning Star,
of this city, places at the head Of its col
umns as its favorite candidate for Cover
nor the name of the Hon. NATHANIEL A
BoYDEN, of Rowan, and as such, recon-
mends him to the nominating committees.
If our silence might not be construed into
an appreciation of the recommendation,
and his name go before the Committees as
the choice of the people of New Hanover,
and possibly of this section of the State, we
would remain silent This course, how
ever, might be productive of evil conse-
uuences, for we are salts fed that there is
belong to the Conservative party, who has
less to recommend him to our people than
Mr.. BoYDEN, and none less popular. His
nomination will, we think, create little en-
thusiasm at home, and will pc received by
the people of this section with dangerous
Indifference, if not with positive objection.
We are fully aware that the principal OBJ
iect in nominating Conservative candidates
is to bring out the people to vote against
the Constitution, and we must subordinate
all preferences to accomplish this object,
and there is no paper which has shown in
the past, and stands ready to do so in the
future, more willing disposition or earnest
effort in this respect than THE JOURNAL, but
we will labor as diligently to prevent any
nomination which we are satisfied will de-
feat this object.
In this spirit, therefore, and in order to
give our most emphatic denial that Mr..
BoYDEN has any popularity in this section
of the State, we pen this article. There
are host of gentlemen among the Conser
natives of the State, the nomination of any
of whom will prove tower of strength to
the cause, and it will not, therefore, be
necessary to place at the head of the ticket
one who will bring it no strength, and may
prove a source of weakness.

Col. HALL has returned home after a

that county as fully aroused and terribly

Col HALL has made appointments to

we will not do so. If he will accept, the
name of WILLIAM A. GRAHAM will bring
more strength to the ticket than any other,
not only in this section, but throughout the
State.
While we will give the nominee of the
party our hearty support, aud while we are
willing to sink all friendships and prejudi-
ces, some attention must be paid to feel

section of the State in the selection of
candidate.

NEAGLE AND THAT LITTLE BILL.

The following preamble and resolutions have
been adopted by the Rock Hill Democratic Club
Whereas, J. L. Neagle, member from York,
and Comptroller General of the State, has pro
nounced the charge of forgery, contained in the
afidavits of E. NJ Fa-ris and Andrew Deter, OF
CASTOR County, North Carolina, to be infamously
false, and has asked for the appointment Of q
committee to hear and report such evidence as be
may produce, which is &c pdrte only; now, there
fore, to the end that his accusers may be heard as
we'll as himself, and that the facts may be publicly
and fairly investigated,
Resolred, That committee of four be appointed
by this Club to cause the said Deter and Farrs to
appear before the Legislature, or any committee
thereof, to testify in the premises whichever their
evidence will be heard and, if necessary, to pro
duce witnesses to show the high estimation IN
which the said Deter and Farrls are held at home
LAnd, arhereas, The said Neagle has asserted
that "there are men in the Club who would be
midnight assassins and murderers if they dared,
but, failing to sacrifice his life, they were now at
tempting to stab him politically" and that ''one
of them was criminal who had fed the district in
consequence of crimes committed against the laws
of South Carolina" now, therefore, we declare
that no attempt has been made against the life OF
the said Neagle by any memberof this Club, or
by any one else, so far as we know or believe; and
we declare that no member of this Club is criml-
nal or has fed from the district on account OF
crime, or for any other causes whatever, but that
all the members of the Club are now living in the
district And the said committee are directed to
furnish J. L. Neagle with roll of the members Of
this Club, that he may know who are his accusers,
and may more conveniently point out who are the
midnight assassins attempting his life, and who OF
this Club has fed the district for crime All Of
which we commend to his consideration or he will
stand confessed as calumniator and forger, ~
