the minds OF the Governors Of North and
South Carolina, to the incoming Congres

RES WILSON'S CHANCES.
As was telegraphed to you before the
convention, Col. Wilson could have had
the nomination easily enough had he de-
sired it; and even rs it was, he had great
difficulty in preventing his admirers from
voting for him. Nothing but his presence
in the convention, and his Persistent re-
irsal 10 accept nomination, prevented
his heng once more the standard. bearer o
the Democracy. Ills strength was not con
fined 10 the buck counties, but he had Il
host OF friends from the Panhandle. Good
may thank his stars lhat Col. Ben faithful.
ly adhered TO all the terms nominated in
the bond, for had the Harrison county
statesman shown one sign Of weakening oil
his contract with Davis, Baker, Camden 4
Co., "OhiO's iavoriic son" would have hecl
like Col. Dan, OF Middlebournc, mourning
Tor the lack Of appreciation shown by the
Democracy. My former predictions as tc
Mr.. Wilson's future political life will moi
be found 10 be very fur out Of the way.

SENATOR WOODS. ..,
] don't like to be Extensively personal
especially with gentleman such rs your
own sweet little band.box Senator, Mr.
Woods. lie is good fellow, sprightly,
keen.and tircless, but he has about MS much
regard for fairness in pCliticsa has the devil

reminds.me ata squire We once had here,
who said land truly, too,) that "lhe main
thing in law is TO gel Il judgment agin the

politics, and he played this game so openly
on Thursday as 10 give the rural Democr;t.
cy n very unfavorable notion OF the Ohio
county idea Of political fairness. And then,
out here in the back counties. (where wc
have Il vague idea that Wheeling is a city
WHICH might absorb New York in its
suburbs,) We had an impression that Srnu.

ahead OF statesmen Of like dignity from the
ginseng districts. But, rs u delegate rr.

III 8E, mon" WHITE. !!
When Romncy surrendered Col. White
to Wheeling, suppose the proper thing to
do; was for tile former to mourn and the
latter TO put on the habilimen,s OF Joy; but,
really il the gallant REPRESENTATIVE Of tue
i"Richmond government" 'inncts such
speeches upon, Wheeling people ~ he did
here in nominating Good, the conditions
are undoubtedly reversed. hope this is
not the ,caseS Showercr,i for Col White, like
Woods. Is too good man, socially, to
make enemies. But in the lhost friendly
manner calticn him q throw :oyerLnarll

that. An ordinary stomach may possibly
su,nd d good deal Of this; but he should
remember that there is Il term known in
law, physic and logic, as 9tunium ni0icii

was the food lndled out 10 the Democracy
by the ex.A.' 6. Ills speech, although,
