Sc generally approved by our contempora

for a State Convention, at least such a
paramount necessity as will take business
men away from home at this season. Il
we are to have a Convention we desire to
see present full representation Of the
people, and not few politicians and edi'
tors. Our friends Of the Tarb0ro' South

tives Of tho preGs at Raleigh, on Thursday
the eighteenth Of June, to consult together
As to the wisest and most prudent course
to pursue in the present condition Of pub

visable by the editorial fraternity, we pro-
misc that the JOURNAL will be represented
in that meeting, and will go thence to On
gage in the struggle for the political and
material welfare Of the State Us earnestly
and devotedly as any.
We are willing and anxious to contribute
all we can to secure the success Of the
nominees of the National Democratic Con,

wicked and destructive designs of the Rad,
icals. and stand ready to second the views
of any which will further this purpose Il
