Colonel william :. Devane.

The nomination Of this gentleman for
Judge of this Judicial District is most &C
ceptable to the bar and the people at large.
A lawyer Of close application and much ex-
perience and gentleman of the highest
standing, his election would add to the
enviable reputation which the bench Of
North Carolina has always possessed.
The nomination has, as it always should,
sought the man, and the people of the
District could not elevate to the bench a
more incorruptible citizen or careful law
yer. We are not advised whether Colonel
DEvANE will accept the nomination, but feel
assured that he is deeply sensible of this
fattering demonstration of the unsought
and unexpected expression of confidence in
him, and fully alive to the Importance of
every one submitting to great personal in
convenience in the present crisis. He will
therefore give the subject much considera-
ton before refusing to accept the trust
which has been reposed in him.

GreatRalIy of White Men.

By the announcement authorized by the
Conservative Executive Committee for
New Hanover County, published elsewhere,
it will be seen that there will be Conven-
ton and Mass Meeting of the Conserva-
tives in this city on the evening Of the 1Ot}!
instant, being Tuesday Of County Court
week. Business of Importance will be
transacted, and addresses will be delivered
by Judge PERSON and Col. CowAN. This
will be the formal opening of the campaign
in New Hanover, and we anticipate a col
lection of the people seldom witnessed in
this section.
Our people are fully cognizant Of the i'm
portance of the issues, and VIII manifest
their appreciation by the eagerness with
which they will conduct the campaign. We
congratulate the Executive Committee il
being able to secure the acceptance of two
of our ablest and best speakers for the oc-
casion, and we know that our citizens will
throng in great numbers to listen to them.
We trust the ladies will accept the invi-
tation extended to them, and encourage
by their presence and approving smiles
the earnest efforts of their fathers, hus
bands and sons to save the Commonwealth
from dangers which are rapidly culmina
ting.
People of New Hanover, We appeal to
you to look squarely in the face the true
situation OF aft lirs. Let no questions Of
mere policy, of Indifference, of timidity, deter
you from Iu;rg your duty In this crisis.
Your individual position cannot protect
you ii we fail your non-action may cause
our defeat II men ever had cause to fear
the consequences of failure we have. Dis
guise it as they may, the wicked men who
seek negro equality themselves from motives
of personal advancement, will force it upon
you, and your wives and your children.
Already if the Constitution which these
people have framed aud will submit for
ratification shall be adopted, perfect
equality between the races will be effected
i'll the public schools and University. The
poor man who is forced to send his chill
dren-his sons and daughters-to the pub
lie schools institutions sustained by taxing
tho sweat of his broW-must have them III
the same class and at the same desk with
negro children, educated by taxing the
of white men. Our people must
not only labor to educate the blacks, but
must have perfect equality between their
children and the negroes forced upon them

Political Matters.

From present indications the political
history of North Carolina will not furnish q
parallel to the campaign, Ill which our peo-
pie are about to engage, in enthusiasm and
interest from one end Of the State 10 the
other there are evidences Of an uprising of
the people never before Witnessed. From
all quarters come the tocsin Of preparation.
The State Executive Committee have pre-
scented to the white people Of North Caro-
lima ticket well worthy their support, and
we are sure it will meet with warm vel
come in all portions Of the State.
Elsewhere we publish a list Of State can
vassers, embracing the names of some of
the ablest and most popular men i'll North
Carolina. IF they will do their duty, and
who can doubt it, their efforts will do much
to secure victory. We also publish list
of gentlemen authorized to call Judicial
and Congressional District Convention for
the purpose of further organization. These
are matters of the first Importance and
must not be neglected, and we therefore
call the attention of the Committees to the
The canvassers for Johnson county have
published a list of eight appointments to
address the people of that county, begin
ming on the 9TH and ending on the 21st of
March. This is q most excellent exam
pie for their fellows in other counties. The
want of mail facilities, and the great scar
city of money, which prevents many people
from going to distant county seats to hear
speakers, will keep many in ignorance of
the great and absorbing issues involved in
the campaign, and the importance of each
and every one registering and voting to
save the old State from the clutches of the
political vultures who seek to devour her.
The county canvassers and candidates for
the Legislature will be enabled to reach all
the people, and Jealous canvass on their
part will do more to arouse the rank and
file than all other means. On them. there
fore, in great measure, will depend the
success of the party. We sincerely trust
that they are fully alive to the importance
of this fact, and are determined that defeat
shall not lie at their doors.

Legal Ability 4!

The Radicals seem DESTROYS to extend
their legal jokes to other districts, as we
notice that John Y. Sherard, of Wayne, has
been nominated for Solicitor of the Third
Judicial Circuit We are aware Of the fact
that the reputation of the North Carolina
judiciary and bar is very enviable, but a
most serious question arises how far this
reputation can cover the shortcomings of
legal buffoons and infants. Radicalism
tears down rather than builds up, and it
hes accomplished more difficult tasks than
to destroy the good name of our judiciary,
to accomplish which it has taken some
most adroit and we'll devised steps in this
and other districts in the State within the
last few days.

We are glad to see that this old and
staunch journal has been revived. MIR.
Evans is favorably known, and his long ex-
perienee and ability is greatly needed and
especially welcomed in this crisis. If un-
der the care of his patron, Jesse Holmes is
to be resugcitated, there is food enough for
his trenchant blade for this twelve months,
and we verify expect to see his ripe victims
writhe under the operation of his merciless
blows.
