1t IS not often tnaG we puDilSn Ine
kindly notices which our exchanges
and our friends are pleased to honor
us with. Sincethe election many haze @Is

49,. rllmentary notices which reach u.s.
A gentleman writing from Hlusooro'
Who has himself done much 1or 'iie
party says: 81 tender toyou YOU, uh;cb
~, sl,e success WHICH
oo"e - the brilliant campaign ID
il m.,r :: Districts, Judicial and Congress
sional-a success in which tile VII
mineton JOURNAL has had no small
share. In truth, as far as Judge Rus
sell is concerned, his humiliation may
be said to be due almost exclusively
to the JOURNAL. Your Congressional
campaign may be pointed out as one
without parallel in the State, enlisting
as it did the jealous cooperation of so
much talent. I look elsewhere in vain
for such ardor for the success of a
cause. Wilmington should and shall
be remembered by the State
A prominent gentleman writing from
Lumberton says: eff it would not be
asking too much would be delighted
to have your photographs, to have
ever before me the men who have done
SO much for our State, and especially
for this part of it, in your Compression
al and our Judicial District"
From Kenansville, friend writes:
"Your efforts in the sanctum and en-
the stump have been rewarded with
glorious success. Duplin sends greet
| ing to the JOURNAL"
From three places in Brunswick we
are cheered with kindly assurance Of
regard and appreciation. Brunswick
thanks the JOURNAL for its efforts.
Our friends in Onslow send us words
of cheer. They claim that the address
Of Mr.. GEORGE DAVIS and the articles
in the Journal did the work in their
county, especially the publication OF
the letter of Sheriff Murrill.
In addition to the kindly notices
from our brethren of the press, which
we have therefore, published we take
the liberty of adding the following:
/ From the Hickry Press.l
| Far he it from us to draw inyid Gus
distinctions between our Eastern State
contemporaries but from observation
| we can but attribute the victory OF
| McKoy over Russell more to the man
", open fight made by the JOURNAL
! than to any other one cause. There
was no cheating the bush" by this
fearless journal but all the charges
against Russell were made directly and
| fully sustained by evidence. But the
| best of It is the fact that through all
| the heat of tho canvass, the JOURNAL
never once forgot it's dignity or des-
cended to the use of billingsgate.
From the wadeshoro herald
The conduct Of the Journal during
the recent campaign is worthy of more
| than the commentator, well done,
good and faithful servant" 1t has la
bored in season and ont of season for
the success of the party; aud while one
| editor was Illuminating his pointed
truths at Judge Russell, the other was
| following up that Individual i'll the
field The result Is known TO every
body, but ali do not know that the
| Wilmington JOURNAL elected A. A.
| McKoy Judge # the Fourth judicial
| District, and added h:l:ldrcds to Col.
| Waddell's maj GRITTY. All h nor to the
| gallant JOURNAL and its c.livalrOus edl-
| tors, and NAV their prosperity keep
pace with the rapid growth and devel-
opement of the new Democratic party
Of the country.
In this connection we shall take the
! liberty OF publishing the following let
ter from the Executive Committee of
the Democratic Conservative party of
Columbus county. The appreciation
of our friends is always appre ciated
by us:
