! Your correspondent never saw more enthn..
siasm In any body than uaa In this at the
nomination OF b. B. Douglas as the stand
ard.bearer Of the Conservative party OF this
district. ~ ~ s s. .,,ssl "a
The Convention acted wisely, for Mr..
Douglas is, perhaps. the only man 10 the en-.
tire district who can completely overthrow
Sener, the present congressman. q,
A committee OF three was appointed to In.
form Major Douglas OF bis nominaticD, and
invite him to address the Convention. Ma.
lor Douglas addressed the Convention in q
speech of about twenty minutes. Said he
would enter the canvass without doubt OF
success. II he had not received the Domi-
nation he would have gone forth against the
epemy with the same spirit. BE only asked
OF his people the same devotion to the Con-
seryatiYe party. Sener. the peoples candi-
date, rs be styled himself, was the candidate
really of congregation Of plunderers and
traitors to their country. MIR. Douglas said
he would tear the double mask from the face
Of this fellow, who runs with the hare and
hunts with the dogs. He would make him
stink in the nostrils Of his own party.
Dir. Douglas is one Of the brightest states
men and greatest orators that Virginia has
raised, and he will make himself felt by the
Radical party in Congress.
Speeches were made by Judge Crltcher,
GeDerai Bagwell, and Judge Sinclair.
After which General Taliaferro thanked
the Convention for the courtesy and good
feeling which had prevailed throughout the
meeting, and adjourned the Con, ention sane
die at g. 10 O'Clock A. NJ.
1t was reported as coming from Radical
Of Influence and position in the district that
Sener would resign and not run against Mr..
Douglas. He bad as well. for if be meets
Dir. Douglas he will be literally demolished.

THE CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH IN NORTH
CARoLINA--Our readers must excuse Us.
We just can't write editorials while crowd
of thousand of the gallant Conservatives
Of old Wake are making the air resonant with
shouts for a triumph gloriously won. An
impromptu meeting has been organized just
below our Office, and as the news from every
section OF the State is read, acclamations of
victory for the cause of truth and justice go
up from grateful hearts.
Wake sends greeting to her sister counties,
and joins with them in hearty rejoicings over
our brilliant victory.
Thank God ! North Carolina has passed
again into the control of her true and her
worthy SOUS. Radicaism has met the fate
it has so richly merited. Its broken columns
have fed the field in irretrievable disorder.
The voice of AN outraged people has been
uttered in its condemnation, and hereafter
good order and pure government are to pre-
vail in the nwealth.-Raletgh IN.
