Judge John Manning in sending to Mrs

live to render service for, and which wa
legally his own as his successor. '-Th

wood-ashes, for various and sundry sins O
omission and commission. We suspec

same paper urges Capt. j. W. Shacklefort
for Secretary of State--Squire Nichol
son, of Iredeli, and J. Solomon Reid, Esq.
Of Mecklenburg, both ex-members Of tn
Auditor. "A writer in the Washington
N. c., Press says:-'Wh hat additional stimu
lus to e%xertion could we have in old Beau
fort, than the enthusiastic cry from the
mountains to the sea shore, of a preference
for our most gifted son, Daniel G. Fowle,
for Governor, whose able efforts in our be-
half in the past, and whose untiring zeal
and devotion to the great principles which
We advocate, has won for him the confidence
of all, and a prominent place in the heart
Of every North Carolinian .-Bro. Evans,
Of the Milton Chronicle, (Which, by the way,
we always find time to read through,
says:-"We generally speak what We think
and we think Senator Merrimon, who was
ousted from the i. S. Senate to make
room for Gov. Vance, was one of the ablest
men in the Senate, and his loss to the State
in that body is a public calamity. Where

'Zeb' ?'-The Wadesboro Herald seems
to be in favor Of Judge Fowle. It remarks:
I'VE are for Judge Fowle for Governor
of North Carolina against the world, the
flesh and the devil. Our reasons for our
support of Judge E. is because he is en-
titled to it; because he is a Statesman; be-
cause he is a patriot, and loves his Native
State because we believe he is a stronger
man IN every way than any of those seeking
the nomination, and because we believe and
know that, if elected, he would perform the
duties of the position In an able and accept
able manner and would SO demean himself
while in Office as to reflect credit and honor
upon the State.-In BERTHE county con
ventlon a warm struggle occurred between
the friends Of Judge Fowle, lead by Col.
Sam Spruill, Jas. Bond, and others, and
the friends of Gov. Jarvis, head by JOS. &.
"a ~ L CT dI. Ill re-

Bro. Creecy, of the Economist, says 1.-The
Press should lead and not be led.'-The
W llmlngton Stor says, and the Charlotte
fiess agrees with 1t, that a fatal blunder in
the nomination Of our candidates for Gov
ernor and State officers might be avoided
could the delegates to the State Convention
visit some twenty counties east and south
OF Raleigh. We suppose this refers to the
feeling on the Railroad question. The
Mlddleburg correspondent OF the Warrenton
Gazette says:-"Everybody is for Fowle,
and dead against Jarvis."-The Win
ston Sentinel says Winston is a local
point for a large number Of counties lying
north and west of us, and in the course of a
seeing the representative citizens of a dozen
counties. Knowing this fact, we
have made it our business to see and talk |
with quite a number of persons from the
counties, and almost without an
exception we have found that Judge Fowle

Raleigh correspondent Of the Messenger |
