; on liie l mention rjiit-fctiun, from which
i we male the following exlruets :
i - However so
JrWell il i.-t i!tt 1 rrntlcmcn may write
Jii favor ot a call ol a convention, Hie
pt -ople ate unmistakably opposed to it
Ditrin;. the
P ast miii.dk r when -ur tt ncnls were

I hoe newly elected mcniborsjof the Icg-
i-duturc pledge the people on the, stump
I that they would not support t-uch. a

heard them diclarc the same publicly
I and privately. They cannot and will
not iolatc ths in. Nor w ill it do lor

lint I am opposed to a call ol a Con
vention at this time fox other and im
portant rersons. The :;docatcs of a
convention assert that it would be
promotive of the beat iiilcrcat-i of the
bot interests State. This 1 do
not believe. The people were
opposed to call of the convention three
years aj;S, ami hesitated lonjr, but finally
' piveiway to certain per-istcil iiilluen
! ces and passeil the bill. The people
voted it down by a majority of thohs-
amU, and if 1 am correctly advised,
t Iectel a majority of liepub!:can to the
convention. " '

a ontenipt for the voice of the people
and not true I emocraey. - At
this time they are tired of revolution
ami .strife.'; they want peace. They
feel that they have been all the inie
losing; they. an poor and tir.td of ex
citement, and are -eeking rot. For
these reason's the time is not suited to a
convention. The violence ot paity
spirit i tov ;;reat.
I am opposed to a call of a convention
without the people b iinr previously
c.-ii-ultt d, and I now ciiUt hi v prote-t
lo pi acini: Ihe preat people's party in
th" altitude of lorcinc a convention
oei the w ill of the people becau-e we
happen t have a two-thirds majority
in the l.ccifdatuie. It i a luinifcsta-
tion of contcinpt lor the people. 1 he
leoplc have not been consultcsl about
thi oiK-ti(n since they oke in thun
der tiiins apain-t it. It is incompatible
with the spirit and genius of a free
nle and a libert v inir coiltitution,
,ho jjaMire. becauc two thir.ls
- 1 '
mav a.:ree, hall be at liberty to over
turn ant ieoIutionic the governnu nt.
Two thirds have the right tocall a con
vention, but the spirit of our freedom
would ay not until the people had utr-c-tcd
it.
The lollowing nrefXtracts from a let
ter from Heii. .Ies. .1. lavi. dated No
vember 'lli, 1 v7 I, aeldre-sol to Major
John V. ihinham:
v I rrgrct that I cannot con
cur with those of our friends who thiuk
that the legislature, soon to assemble,
ought to call a convention to revise and
am nd that instrument.
1 , The lat expression of th
public will upon the Mibjcct was in
1 S7 1 , when the quotion w;i siibmiltevl
to a direct vote of the pcde, and w heu
it was otml down by a Iarge"maiority,
although we had had art the preceding
rlccliou iii 1S70 victory almost equal
to that of the ptTicnt year. I know
that it jU said, and truly .-aid, that many
men voted against the convention in
1571 lcau they did notapprvTc the
mode i which the question w.ts .ub
mitKsl. but it will be remembered that
at the mmc ehx'tmn at which the con
vention wa ntcd dowu there w nn
election for dcleglle to the convent ton.
ia the event it shoW he called, and, if
I ant correctly informed, we failed to
elect majority Jof .democrats and ci.
vrvatiw, though we had the jnt W
foe carried both branvhc? of the Kjs
islalure by decided maioriiio.
Wt koow the fact thl kc
KepuMican lrtf leaden in North
I'arvlKla eoairol, with fern eaeepthMi,

there i no 'division in that tote on

of the Judit-ioi u, of inuiroper di-i
tribution of jHjirir I it ween tie different
traucht s vj jrirrt)ii' il, oj rfn tlom, of
criminal hiw, J the i r(ui ation of the
fount y evmtf, none of these 'question
divide them.
x I have heard ol but one
Kcpiiblicaii of any note who is ill favor
of a convention, ami he, I am inform
ed; avows himself in lavor of it with
the hope ih.it it will annul the home
stead provision
The editor of the (oddsboro Mfint
yir is an ardent advocate of the con
vention scheme, ami calls on the lieni
ocralic candidates lo charire "civil
right and :cial ejuality'' on the I!e-
publican iiarty. '
If any one is tksirous ol knowing
how much th tilitor of the Jffiigrr

will examine the Slate

the unterrilied democracy of New Han

apparent lo the county officials, ou
their return to the city they called on
Dr. J. F. King and requested him to
visit the prisoners and report their con
dition to them, which duty he has per
formedand his report is in accordance
with the above facts.
When Dr. Kiug visited the Work
House yesterday morning he found all
these poor creatures hard at work in
the clay pits digging clay or making
bricks, with ihe exception of one man,
Nelson Little, No. i, who was in bed
with fever, four who were absent on a
flat, and four who were n-t account
ed for. . ,
That Mich inhuman butchery and
mangling of human flesh shonld be
carried on in this community is almost
incredible. This Work House, estab
lishment is under the control and man
agement of Messrs. Mathes and Brother,
one of w hom lives on the place and is
the chief and head Inquisitor and tor
turer of these helpless being, and we
hope that an ouliaged law may visit
upon their li-jitjed and guilty neaus
sonic piuii-hni. nt coinmerrsurato with
the fiendish at d barbarous treatment
t hat he ha - so unw arrantably been in
flicting mi tho-e committed to his
ciiar;'!'.
We unde i -tand lh.it a meeting of the
County Conimissiniicrs has been called
to make en-pmy into the- affair,' and the
probabilities are- that the eoiilruct mado
vvilh Mathes arid Ihothcr will be can
cel led.
It is charged that the Tin dee. of the
I hi ver-ily, at their late scssi n in Kat-
igh, we-re about to elect Jell HavLs
Pre sident of our r-dalc I uiversity,' and
that they only po .-1 poucd electing a
President until the vote on the conven
tion bill could be had.
