| THE CONGRESSIONAL CON EAIIOA
We are glad to be able to congratulate
our Republican friends throughout the
Fourth Congressional District upon the
happy adjustment Of the complications
which at one time so seriously threatened
the harmonious action Of the party. The
delegates who assembled in Convention
Yesterday are entitled to high praise for
the calmness and earnestness with which
they devoted themselves to the discharge
of their duties, and for the wise counselS
which prevailed in their deliberations.
Thanks to their discretion and conciliatory
disposition, the elements of discord have
been overcome and all sections of the Dis
trict united upon basis of mutual good
will and good faith. The detailed report
of the proceedings given elsewhere will
show how effectually the Democratic an
tcipations of a split in our party have been
dspelled by the .judicious actions of an in
telligent body Of Republicans who labored
for the interests of their party, and not to
further the designs or play into the hands
of their political enemies. The decisive
vote by which Gen. Harris M. Plais:ed
was declared the nominee of the Republi-
can party of the Fourth Congressional
District, and the cordial ratification of the
candidacy by his principal competitor and
the representatives of Aroostook county,
afford the happiest auguries of the success
which we shall achieve at the polls in
September.
Gen. Plaisted is emphatically self
made man and owes his attainment of dis
tinguished position to his own industry
and determination to succeed. The large
vote which he received in the Convention
shows that he has made numerous and
earnest friends throughout the District and
his speech to the Convention indicates his
sincere purpose to faithfully discharge the
duties intrusted to him. He recognizes
the Importance of the highest measure OF
success in our Congressional election, and
Will TIC HcaIty SuPPoiI WHICH he VIII io'
ceive from the Republicans of every part
of the District. he will be elected by ma.
jority that will speak we'll for our people
and our State. We place his name at the
head of our columns and enter npon the
Congressional canvass with the assurance
that our enemies are already sorely de-
moralized and that we shall give them an
other overwhelming defeat. Close up the
ranks and forward.

Mr.. Pillsbury devotes column Of the
Standard this week to producing evidence
that we were editor of democratic pa
per before the war. He need not have
taken that trouble. The fact is well
known. We have stated it ourselves re-
peatedly in the columns of this paper.
But he did not add that we left the DEM
ocratic party in 1861, when to remain
longer and support its measures would be
equivalent to treason to the country.
Had Mr.. Pillsbury done as we and thou
sands OF other democrats did when we
found that there were but two sides to
the questionable loyal and disloyal side
he would not have been the democratic
candidate for governor, but his hands
would have been free from treason, and he
would not now be apologixing and bully
ing and lying to cover up his record.

Mr.. John Morrssey is gentleman who is not

his house in Oath street; and by way of reminder
offers to give the of other parties present at
such times. The New York World is remon-

he should mention any more names.
The animus of the Democrats in the canvass for
delegates to the North Carolina Constitutional
Convention is apparent from this extract from the
Charlotte Democrat
"Let it be unrestricted-let there be no pander-
ing promise to Radicalsn or imported Yankee
ideas-let the old time practices be restored, in
GLIDING the whipping post and qualified suffrage.
The restrictions imposed in the bill as it
passed the Senate are degrading and disgraceful
the people of the State, especially in its pander
ing to the prejudces of our fanatcal enemies at
the North. No North Carolinian should ever say
that he is willing to surrender his claim for DANA
ges in the unlawful emancipation Of and depriva-
ton OF personal property.
The restrictions referred to with such violent
disapproval are to the effect that no proposition
shall he brought before the Convention for a mod
ifcaton of the right CT suffrage, or for payment
Of the rebel war debt, compensation for loss of
property in slaves. As the Republicans have
probably carried the Convention these projects
will stand slender chance, but it is interesting
TO know that they constituted the basis on which
the Democrats conducted the canvass.
