Communications. FOR TIIK TARBORO' TRESS. Mr. Howard: I am once more under the necessity of requesting of you the favor of inserting a brief commu nication in your columns. I have been informed by cred itable authority, tint I advo cated the State Convention, (which Una in its purport been sanctioned by a major ity of the freemen of the State, (during the time that I was engaged last year in the electioneering contest. 1 was extremely surprised at tho idea, that such a report, which I was as far from be ing entitled to, as any indi vidual in tho community, could have originated. Tho' 1 am far from the principle of impeaching the source from which it emanated, with any thing so impure in his nature and design as to result in nn injury to my pre sent or future happiness, for 1 must believe that it was un intentionally circulated by n misapprehension. It is very well known that, when 1 was necessitated to recur to that subject, when a candidate before the people for their suffrages last year, 1 did an nounce myself as decidedly opposed to any attempt toj alter the fundamental law of j the State. 1 have contend-j ed and do yet contend, that! as deficient as the Constiiu-I tion may be, that 1 looked upon any attempt to amend it ns dangerous in the ex treme. We have been liv ing under the sacred influ ence of our present Consti tution up to the present age, in a stale of happiness not surpassed by any of our sis ter States, old Virginia not excepted, that had resorted to the accomplishment of the act of altering their Consti tutions. I could not then be lieve it to be policy or wis dom to do away the princi ples promulgated in the pre sent State fundamental law, which continues to shower down upon us so many pre cious blessings. Good sense dictates and sound judgment requires a continuation of that, which already furnisher so much prosperity and hap piness. It is true that we have had a multiplicity of complaints, issued from our western brethren, of polit ical grievance and inequality of representation, which I lis tened to with a fraternal hearing, but could not come to the conclusion, that thev were otherwise than certain ly exaggerated and not suffi ciently cogent to justify us in resorting to the dangerous task of .amending the Con etitution. Let us once get into the habit of altering the Constitution, we may arrive at the deplorable condition of discontentment for life. For if we amend the Consti tution at this time, may we not reasonably anticipate that in a few more years the same if not a greater inequality may exist, and probably lou der complaints be proclaim ed! The majoriry of the free voters of the ttate have decided in favor of a Con vention and therefore wo must submit, althoush I am opposed to meddling with the Constitution for mere trifling causes. Virginia which during her Convention had assembled together with all her unrivalled talents in 1829 and 1830, has not res tored that harmony and con tentment which was so anx iously contended by the peo ple not to exist. As that an cient commonwealth has not quieted, the complaints of her citizens, with such sub lime displays of rhetoric and logical reasoning, can it be expected that North Caroli na will be any more success ful? The spirit of innova tion and the desire for change in tho fundamental princi ples, which have been sanc tioned by our wise and patri otic forefathers, will I fear result in but little good, but may be n source from which will spring much evil upon our happy country. At the time when our ancestors for med and ratified our present Constitution, nought but the interest of the Slate engaged their attention, not only for the present but for genera tions unborn. Individual in terest ntitf personal advan tage over their brethren was entirely of too sordid a con sideration to engage their attention. They went en tirely for the welfare of the State. Jiut I am somewhat suspicious that that reckless cupidity for power and ad vantage, whirh I fear at pre sent exists, will finally des troy the opinions and princi ples which havo been conse crated by our venerated sa ges. It is unnecessary to enlarge on the subject; but I thought it was my duty to say this much, as a mere dis avowal of the report which was in circulation. If 1 ever even insinuated, by any re mark, that I might have made, which could possibly make valid said report,!. must have been asserting an j HaywoodWiWhm Welch, Jo opinion which has always) seph Caihey. been incompatible with myrtfor( Isaac Pipkin, Godwin opinions, or laboring under a state of mental alienation. For the gratification of my friends, as well as defending the frankness of principle which I hope has heretofore characterized me on ail oc casions when demanded, I deemed it my duly to bring forward in public these few desultory and unconnected remarks. It is my earnest desire that the result of the deliberations of the members composing the contemplated conventional body, may be for the prosperity and happi ness of the State, notwith standing I am fearful of aw ful consequences. Yours, sincerely, &.c. JOHN J. DANIEL.

The Clerk having finished the registration of the Delegates' names, and called on the repre sentation from Anson (the first county on the Roll) to come for ward and take the prescribed Oath Mr. WILSON, from Edge combe, rose, and observed, that supposing this the proper time to mention some uithculties which existed in his mind, and w hich he believed were entertained by oth er gentlemen, he would beg leave to state those difiicullies. It was doubted by some, whether the Le gislature had a right to impose the oath prescribed; some are of opinion that if the oath betaken, members will be bound to concur in all the amendments proposed to the Constitution; others suppose, that, after taking the oath, they will he at liberty to use their dis cretion in agreeing or disagreeing to anv of the amendments. He j was of opinion, that after taking I the oath, he would be bound to a j dopt certain proposed atnend- menls to the Constitution in rela I tion to the reduction of the number ; of members, kc. though he might not he in favor of such chancre. j If any way could be pointed nut of j removing this difficulty, he hoped some gentleman present would do j so. He should be glad to learn the proper construction to be put upon the oath. He thought it ! would be best to postpone taking ! it for the present, and refer the ; matter to a committee to make report on the subject; and for that purpose, he moved the appoint ment of a Chairman, tern. On motion, Gov. Swain was unanimously appointed Chairman pro tern. A desultory debate en sued, at the close of which the yeas and nays were taken on the question "Shall the meeting pro ceed if) organize the Convention:" which was carried, 8G votes to 22. The members (without excep tion) then took the Oath prescri bed, after which, on motion of Mr. Branch, the Hon. Nathaniel Ma con was unanimously elected Pre sident of the Convention. On Friday, Edmund B. Free man Was elected Secretary to the Convention, and Joseph D. Ward Assistant. Green Hili and John Cooper, Doorkeepers. A com mittee was appointed to draw up rules tor the government of the Convention, and Messrs. Gales & Son were elected its printers. On Saturday, the Convention appointed committees on various subjects, &:c. C7We have rumors in abun dance of contemplated changes in the Cabinet at Washington.
