The journal of vesterdav was read.
Mr. Moore, of Wake, from the business committee,
made a report suggesting the appbintment of other
committee to whom shall be referred certain subject
proper tor the consideration of the Convention.
The rales were suspended and the report was adopted.
Mr. Brown presented the following resolution, which
liee over under the rule ;
Whereas, a diversity of opinion has existed among the
itlxensof the United States, as to the rightful power of
a State to seoede from the federal Union, and wher eas
said question wa under the ordiuwea of Me several
States which passed them, submitted a-nong other ques
tions to arbitrament of arms, in the late contest between
the twoeections, and decided adversely to sid claim of
ptfwer;' .
Therefore, be it resolved by the delegates of the peo
ple of the State of North Carolina in Convention as
sembled, that we recognize this decision as a final and
conclusive settlement of the question that a State cad

representation and for other purposes."

Mr. Molvor thought that the aubstitute was fully ex
pressive, and that it was not the purpose of this f?anv?n
tion to act upon the effect -f tbat ordinance. . He 6aid
that men could not projeily beoalled upon to stutlifv
themeelvee by ignoring the existence of a law under
vrhicb they hive legislated and acted. To declare the
X'cesaion ordinance of secession unconstitutional and

recognizing its existence prior to it repeal, "d reserv
ing the riht to revive it at pleasure A good deal had
iug lur i:annrtLv of the ordinance. Why

j J 1 ;mr.la mrnmrf nnrl Ot Y a lOU
stitution formed for the perpetual governm .J" iae
States, had been forced upon the country, and ca ?u
its woeB. The Constitution was the supreme law o tDe
land. It was the acknowledged seati ent f the coun-"
try that it was treason to secede. Mr. Thompson adver
ted to the reply of Mr. Gaston to a toast of Mr. Calhoun,
that it were better for North Carolina to be the Uip Van
Winkle of the Union forever, than wake up to treason,
and 8 aid that was the sentiment of North Carolina.
That distinguished gentleman who bad been so fre
Suently alluded to as the " great light," Hon George U.
adger, had always considered the action of the Con
vention a revolutionary one, and in no event did he
believe in the existence of a legal right to secede. In
order to make a simple compact, all the parties must
necessarily be present. Louisiana and the other States
that were admitted into the Union after the adootion of
the Constitution, can claim it as a compact, but they
were bound bv it as the supreme law of the land ; if not,
Louisiana, the next day after her purchase, might h ave
retired from the Union and broken the compact. I favor
the original Ordinance declaring me in the Union, because
I have always been there. It is high time for men to give
up their prejudices and heartily co-operate in hastening
the rehabilitation of the State.
Mr. Eaton favored the amendment. It had been held
up as a repeal only a repeal, when it was a great deal
more. To declare null and void was not the mere lan
guage of repeal. He thought the gentleman from Bertie
had perverted the meaning of the amendment, and
wasted his ammunition unnecessarily ; did not think that
it endorsed the doctrine of secession either directly or
indirectly, er that voting for either of the ordinances
could be considered a test of loyalty. He hoped the
amendment would have a unanimous vote . He had never
favored secession except as a revolutionary measure, and
was desirous that the troops on both sides would remem
ber that "Peace hath her victory as well as war:"
would turn ' the sword into the ploughshare, sink the
soldier into the citizen, and emulate each other in
bettering the condition of their common country.
Mr. Warren said it was singular there were two
members of the committee who were members of the
Convention of 1861, who have concurred in the original
ordinance, if It reflected on them. I was a member of
the Convention of 1861, but I deny that I ever assented
to the infamous heresy of secession. We were already
in a state of war, and it mattered very little about the
form in which the State revolutionized to prevent civil,
war within ber own borders, and he voted for the meaj
sure merely as revolutionary and not as a matter of lega
right. This, continued Mr. Warren, is the oniy oppor"
tunity I, and those who acted with me have had to ex
plain in an authentic manner our position on the rela
tions ot our State to the federal government. Had
Judge Badger's light been followed when he introduced
n 1861, a mere declaration of independence, there
would have been no war,-nc?" dissolution, no vacant
chair at the hearthstone or the board. But this propo
sition bad been swept away, when it came in conflict with
the dominant, hot headed majority of that Convention;
and these are the men who now ask for courtesy; mem
bcrs of a Convention who saw fit to pass the ordinance
ot seeeseion in two houses, and theB (and I speak it in
the presence of the venerable or evident of that bod v.
resolved itself into a mot amid the tiring of cannon and
the ringing of bells.
The gentleman from Camden says the ordinance is
discourteous, and yet singles oat no word for censure,
but makes a general charge, which of curse cannot be
met. He introduces asubs'itute; and comes in ad a peace
maker, but says the ordinance canies malice prepense on
its face, and charges the committee with beinz instigated
and seduced by the devil. It is said that there is a
stigma cast on our soldiers and the members of the
Convention, and I venture to say tbat the views of
nine-tenths of the soldiers ot this State are embodied
in that very instrument. There is at least an impli
cation in the substitute, that the secession ordinance
did have validity. The action of those who favored it
showed conclusively that they paw a broad distino
tion between the two ordinances, and I agree with
them. One asserts what is not true, and the other what
I believe to be the true relation of this State to the Fed
eral Government, while the ne$ brings up here the same
old heresy of secession for re-endorsement.
Mr. Brawn favored the substitute for the reason tbat
the other ordinance arraigned the Convention and the
people of the Stae. He had oppose i secession to the
bitter end, and merely vot d fur i hi fatal ordinance f
secession to prevent civil war within the State; tad
sever believed in peaceable secession and thought any
President would use military force to resist it; but in
XSSI the situation, not his wi'l, consented t the parage
of the ordinance. He congratulated the country on being
once more under the flag of our fathers. There was one
sentiment of the immortal Webster whlou bad always
found a response in his breast; Liberty and Union, now
and forever one aad inseparable."
Mr. Moore, of Wake, said he was the aathor of the
first ordinance. Bis purpose in writing It was to declare
fbe great political truth of the country, that the seces
sion ordinance is and always' has been void, and that wa
have always been In the Union. If we have not been in
the Union for the last four years, where have we been ?
Have we not been in a "Serbonian bog" where armies
whole have sunk ? Yes, literally W hat I would like U
know is, what the effect of the ordinance of 1861 was?
Mr Howard. Its effect was to uphold and exercise,
bj the military power, all the rights of sovereignty lor
fMrf Moore. Tee, might makes right. It has been said
&II nnr laws made durinflr the reoellion are void. I
take a different view, and tnink tbat all laws not in con
flict with the Constitution ot the uniieq oiaies are urn
in force. , , .. ,

the counsel taking care to oroa.h'y 'mft tk-m all
fur the purpuSQ, it appears, of tablishmg th? fo!

That the conduct of the accused was generally hu

That he was not resposible for the vaccination
which resulted so disastrously.
That he never maltreated anybody, nor acted will

That, although the rules of the prison were strin

In a word, that the evidence for the Government

The GbkatFibeat Constantinople. Roughly
estimated it may be said that the disaster has laid
waste nearly a quarter of the whole erea of Constan
tinople proper, destroying, it is reckoned, about
eight thousand houses, Dearly twenty mosques, ten
baths, five christian cburches; and some fifteen khan3.
No such calamity baa befallen Constantinople during
the present century, if indeed since the coDquest.
Nearly half the space thus reduced to a desert :f
ashes was inhabited by the poorest mussulman pop
ulation, fifteen or twenty thousand of whom are thus
reduced to absolute want. With its usual generous
promptitude, the government has not lost an hour
in dealing out what relief it can to the poorest of
the sufferers. Shelter has been given to nearly balf
of them in the empty kbtus and other available
buildings, and most of the remainder have been
camped under tents in the Hippodrome till wooden
huts or other accommodations can be funl. A
ration of bread is also being served out lo thm at
the Porte's expense ; and, in short, every eff jrt th it
the pinched meins of the government will allow is
beiDg made to relieve the distress which the calamity
has occasioned.

RALEIGH, SATURDAY, OCT. 7, 1865.
THE CITY.
New Gooni at an Old Stand. Those of our readers
who are scientific n ws monsrerg will not require an invi
tation to in 1ue them ti read the a lvertUement of Mr.
A KUne an old merchant, who has earned his repute
in the world of business by energy, enterprise ad fair
dealins. The highest te-timony to his popularity is to
be found in the successful operation of bis business. His
establishment, conr of Fayettville and Hargett sts.,
U now tiled with almost every article known to the dry
good traie, and adapted to this market and section.
We refer to the adve-tUement for partial enumeration
ot the supplies as to kind and quaHty, though it is only
through the medium of personal examination that even
a tolerable idea can be formed af the ext nt of the stock.
Purchasers will, however, derive seurance in the prem
i s iiom knowledge that Mr. Kline has served a g'nd
life t me among dy g o1s. His c:mpetecy, therefore,
to in a e judicious selections, as to price, quality and
style, will not be disputed Call and see him.
Bad, if Tana. It is stated to us that the darkies had
a ball in the vicinity o. the fair grounds last night
Tbat was all well enough, but it is further relted that
afer it had broken up, tbey indulged themelven steal
thil pu ;iog parts ot tenets and pailings down in ditler
ent section of the ?ity. We balf wav suspect that the
neg.-ms are charged with much ot whici they ire ti'it
zuilty, buc the story o; their reprehetiSible behaviour is
j en we. I autbeniicated in tots ii stance as to leave nodoub
ol their guilt. We hope proper steps will be taken to
. punish theta severely. Such outrages gh u'd be met
pr omptly with the full force of law. In bringing them
to justice, every respectable freedman in the city has a
j dtep interest, present as well as future.
Seriocs Affair. It was reported to us late last night
tliat a shooting affair occurred during yesterday in the
vicinity of this city, the parties to it being Henry C'ok
and a Mr Johnson. Our informant did not learn the
particulars ot the origin of the difficulty, but heard that
the former availed the latter whiie ridiug along the
road, knocked him from his horse, and then shot him
on-e or twice. It is stated that Sir. C behaved very
much like a man wh felt justified in the course he had
clioadQ. as he went to a magistrate and offered to give
himselt up. .
Wed not know but that the transaction is exagger
ated, but wa ghall doubtless have the details of it during
to day , if tiue.
