SECRETARY OF sTATE-MAJ. ENGELEARD.
We endorse most heartily the COM
munication of Democrat i'll his re-
commentator of Maj. Engelhard for
the position of Secretary of State
There il no man in our party who is
more Justly entitled to a hearty re-
cogtition at the hands of our party
than this gentleman. and we surely
know of no man for whom we had
rather cast our ballot for that Office
For the last eight years Maj. Engel-
hard has been untiring in his devotion
to the party, and whether in the field
or in the sanctum no one seemed to
strike harder or more effectively. We
think there is no doubt but that Maj.
Engelhard will receive tn anomination,
AID we say to the Conservative hosts
of North Carolina now is your time to
show to him that high appreciation
which his merits so richly deserve.
There is no name mentioned in con-
nection with the office of Secretary of
State that recommends itself more
highly to our personal favor, or meets
the wishes and desires of our whole
section of country than that of Major
Engelhard. He has for over ten years
been laboring increasingly for the Dem
ocratic party. He has been as able and
wise in the councils of the party as he
has firm and unfiinching in the sane
tum and the field. The people of this
section cannot forget the sagacity dis
played by Mr.. Engelhard, when, as
chairman OF the Congressional Execu
tive Committee, when all others had
just about given up the field, he
brought out Col. Waddell to oppose
Dockery, the great lion of Radicalism,
and thus put in motion in this District
the golden ear of Democratic triumph.
Let the Convention nominate him for
Secretary of State--he is pure, IN 'pO' =
ted and uhblemished-a gentleman OF
the most honorable instincts, and of
the highest character. and will be III the
State government tower o. strength
and wisdom.
MAJ. JOSEPH A. ENGELHARD.
We are glad to see that the papers
all over the State and in fact i'll the
border States, are warmly favoring the
| nomination of this gentleman for Sec
rotary of State. We feel that all the
good people of this State needed was
to know that Maj. EnRelhard desired
or would accept position on the State
| ticket to secure it for him, and we
venture the assertion that there will
| be no better man on the entire ticket,
aud surely none that will make an
ADLER canvass. Maj. Engelhard is ia
the very prime of a vigorous life and
manhood, III perfect health, of great
activity and zeal, man of lndOmlta-
tile energy, finished scho' ar, a for
chile speaker, and tip top canvasser;
he will make it lively for the radicals
wherever he will go. Personally. we
would do perhaps more for Major
Engelhard shan for any other public
man in the State.

MAJOR ENGELHARD.
The retirement of this gentleman
from the Wilmington JOURNAL would
be fit oc :asion for an extended
homiIy upon North Carolina journal
ism if our space would permit. Major
Engelhard has given the best years of
his life to our party. He has served
in bold, honest, fearless way a very
long time, hut we-what have we done
