Thos. A. Allison, of Iredell, who moved that, fbrhe purpose of temporary organization, R. H. Smith, Esq., of Halifax, be invited to take the chair. - . Mr Smith took , the chair, amid the applause of the Convention. On motion of the Hon.S'homas Bragg, Messrs. Switoii (Jaks, J. A.

The list of counties was then called, and 47 counties were found to be represented by about 250 delegates.

"Gov. --Graham next briefly discussed the policy of President Johnson, with reference to the State governments, after the surrender, J; While he did not conceive it necessary to strike down those governments, yet iu common with all our people, he acquiesced therein. He recounted the con cessions and sacrifices made by the people of the South, in obedience to the exactions made npon them. They did all this fop the sakeTdf Peace. And yet Congress is not satisfied. 'Another Con vention has been called by it, not. by the State, bringing in the colored race as voters a thing unknown before, arid through that agen cy it is sought to change entirely our State gov ernment and place us under a new aud anoma lous one lie expressed his belief that the peo ple of the North will not sanction this. They will find a departure from the golden rule' mischiev- i ous and dangerous; and as they claim the regula tion of their own internal affairs, so, when they come to act with deliberation and dif-passion, they will do jutice by restoring to the people of North Carolina the same great right. Justice is so natural a sense of right so invariably prevails, that, when the matter is presented fairly, they will say ' this is right." And this conclusion wnl be hastened, when, forgetting latter preju dices, they go back to the past and remember that it was the bouthern V ashington who com polled Gage to raise the seige of Boston, and that it w;;s the troops of JNorth Carolina and Lincoln Jno Eulinger, Dr M L Brown, J F Hoke, f Virginia who, on the Hudson, amid the hills b Mecklenburg Gov Vance, J L Morehead, J II Mc- f Jersey, in Pennsylvania, and down to the Brandv wine, Droice the backot Jintish power, i ' 11 :iJ .1 ..? . 1. r tv The New Stay Law.

He did not think the passage of the measure would in any way come in conflict with the requirements of the Consti tution of the United States.

Graham said that although he had ex pected to take his full share in the deliberations of the Convention, nothing could surprise him more than this call to preside over it. He had no intimation that such would be the case, and would, therefore, apologize, in advance, for any deficieucies in what he might have to say. He thanked the convention heartily for the appre ciation of himself implied in the honor conferred, and would endeavor to discharge the duties im posed upon him to the best of his ability. We had met for purposes of deliberation on the political situation. A desolating and expensive war had swept over the land, and the question now u oe settled is whether, alter all, we have eace. needy, were the richer classes who were in their debt, to be sheltered by this measure ?

Mr King of Lincoln, thought that if this measure was passed, at the very next Legislature there would come up a clamor from the same caea for utiez repudiation. He hoped that every man would vote against the measure. Mx Fallings said he too was opnosed to all - "Referring to your communication of Jan 1r I am instructed by the Commanding General to state that wherever, by the terms of military orders, the enforcement of a judgment is stayed, the collection of costs and fees incideut to the' same is likewise stayed.

But Congress iuiplics) by its action, that war still prevails. Surely, if so, war only exists by a fiction of law, of which the people are profoundly ignorant. They had sup posed that the armies of the South surrender., that the capitulation had been accepted in jropd faith, and that, therefore, Peace prevailed. In other countries, after a protracted and desolating war, aud the return ot peace, men may have been punished, but it was done iu a constitutional manner. But the measures taken indicate that the States, as States, must suffer as veil as men iu their individual capacities. Gov. G. said that lu thought (with all defer ence to Congress, of which he should speak in no terms of contumely) that it would have been no difficult matter to have settled the controversy. given harmony to tha country, and plated the people on the road of a moderate prosperity, in stead of their being, as now, depressed and im poverished. When Charles the Second camp back to the throne an era of restoration of au thority, somewhat analogous to the nrpsfint nftpr that authority had been temporarily deposed Lord Clarendou, the Chancellor, speaking for thc j 2d 31 E Ah King, said to Parliament : k ' - viis vvto j XJ 1 allil . J 7 O w caj, luai ue is a suitor to you, and asks you to join with him in restoring the country and people to their ancient temper and dignity, their old good humor and manners." Oh ! lor a Clar endon at the close of our war. If it had been proclaimed iu the councils of the country that there was a desire to restore harmony and the return of concord and amity, it would have been universally seconded, and although some little ground-swell of alieuation might have succeeded to the furious lashings of the storm, all would, ere now, have been tranquil and peaceful. Thc war had been carried on about a q ucstion upon which the people had differed from the for mation of the Constitution. A large class be lieved that a State had a right to withdraw from the Union, as in case of ordinary contracts, when they thought the obligation violated on the other side. That class constituted, nerhana the majority, a majority which held the reins of power with rare intervals. He (Mr G.) had never believed in that doctrine: but it was a dis puted question. When therefore, it was practi cally resorted to, it was only bringing to trial the issue which, sooner or later, would have come, lrue he did not think our grievances sumcient to warrant a resort to it, but when North Carolina thought her duty and honor re quired her to take part in the great issue, he went with her into what he regarded as a revo lution. We did our utmost for our sf-tion and Gov. (x. cited the case of the Dorr rebellion and the judicial decision therein, to prove that tne terms of government can never be rightfully cnanged, except by those who at the time exer cise the right of suffrage, and, accordingly,. de clared that the present attempt of Congress to change those of the Southern States was rcvolu t:onary. Uut m the case ot this attempted cnange, h, this Constitution which is to be presented to the people, we have a right to vote and it will be our fault if it is fastened upon us. We have a majority of over 30,000 registered white voters, aud the question is whether they will take the blacks into political partnership. " said Gov. G., "with the kindest feelings to that race, say JVof Political association can not come until social association shall precede it. We are not without observation. Where has the experiment ever succeeded ? The Speaker nere entered into a forcible recital of the efiects of negro suffrage and rule in llayti and Jamaica.! IT-.l .1 .... -J w icu tnese examples before us, shall we estab lish it.' A good deal had been said about "im partial suffrage," with certain qualifications of property or intelligence as the test. He was op- posed to disfranchising any white man in North Carolina. And as to the blacks, while some of them, under the test, might be qualified, yet the line of color was the true line of demarcation: and that would be best for all races. Stability in government is indispensable. Gov. G. expressed the hope- that the present state of things would cease. If the men in power have no commiseration, the great masses can feel the movings of sympathy. Ihere are evidences of this' everywhere. He was sure that there was no desire here to perpetuate hatreds. Unfortu nate as the war w;,s, it had had, and would still have, the effect of making the world think more highly of this country. Although, for the pre sent, prejudices might exist, and clouds might impend over the names of some, history will ac cord to the people of North and South alike the highest meed of admiration for a heroism, prowess aud manhood, such as the world never saw be fore. 'I heir mutual achievements are so many common exhibitions of the greatness of the American people. The Speaker next pronounced a high eulogy upon the Judiciary of the land, and expressed high hopes from that quarter, and indulged in an eloquent tribute to President Johnson. After again returning his acknowledgments, he took his seat amid great applause. The foregoing is a most insufficient and meagre .ibtract of this great speech, which was received with great delight by the Convention. Col. E D. Hall, of New Hanover, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted, viz : W FOR THK WKSTEUX DBHIOCB.AT. -.-fc : Pttblio Meeting in Lincoln County. .
