ton in the lsrge and arduouS oraGSice I did in
the county Of my adoption; for in a practice COW
erinS an area OF country of nearly fifty miles
and enSrosslng every hour of my time could
hardly have expected 10 have given such uDiyer~
sal satisfaction. It is true That no man ever
strove harder 20 do his whole duty than l. and
the proudest recollection of my lie is Your assn
rance that my efforts were mainly successful ::
and would now most cheerfully accede to the
wishes OF my friends, were l to follow nv own
inclinatlons, but such is the nature Of lite that
we are, ct any time, liable to encounter obsta-
cles upon the path of fortune which we cannot
always control Such is my case, and while am
let identified with, and love the people of yo1,r
county my best friends, circumstances of a
private nature forbid my leaving my own home
at present
Hoping ever to occupy q prominent position in

is beyond dispute. We think it is also be-
yond dispute that there are Radicals who
are looking to the future and who, reail-
zing the fact that as sure as the sun shines
North Carolinians will eventually rule
North Carolina, and for her own good
and not in the interest of any other State
or section or people, arc SO shaping their
course as to clear their skirts as much as
possible from the mud and mire and filth
and corruption that has accumulated upon
them. One short year ago the most san
guine man in Tennessee had no hope that
the day of deliverance was at hand. Then
ninety thousand citizens were disfranchised
and the government was in the hands of
oppressors. Now the sovereign people are
to meet N Convention and Ten
nessee, "the Volunteer State" is herself
again.
North Carolinians, too, will ere long meet
in Convention, for the far-seeing Repubh-
cans will do here as they did in Tennessee
and prepare for the approaching storm by
Welding to the wishes of the people.
