" Now this is an assertion whichlswell cal culated to open the eyes of many oif its read ers ; for if true the producer is being "basely1 swindled by the "shoddy sharpers," of Char-' lotte. ., st But is it true ? We call upon its author to mike tbe assertion good by giving bis. readers the proof.

Mr. ErrroR : Od Monday the 16th imt., J our General Assembly convenes. One of tbe first and most important questions that will engage tbe attention of that body will be the, propriety of calling a Convention, for the purpose of altering, the Constitution under which we at present live. This subject, I tee, has received the attention of several of the prominent citizens in different sections of our State, who have come forward in letters either condemnatory or advocating the. call ing of a Convention. Up to this timef nothing has been said upon this sabject by any of oar own citizens ; a? Mecklenburg is one of the wealthiest and largest tax paying counties in the State, weald it not be well for her prominent citizens' to' give us their views upon a question that so materially ef fects her interest. We should, be especially pleased to hear through tbe columns of your paper from such gentlemen as the Hon.Z. B. Vance, J. Harvey Wilson, Jadge Shippand others, of imr city, and from such gentlemen throoghent thef county, as will favor us-with their advice. It seems to me that some such coarse as the one indicated is requisite in or der to enable public opinion to assume a de finite shape. ' r' Foars respectfully, ' ' ' ,' Citizen. . We publish the above without further comment than to ray that in discussing this important, matter we' have only given our own pr jvate opiDion,which was , that the on Jy question, to decide was one of expediency, and ' that cbald be belter decided 1 by the meinbre or tbe Legislature after they have assemntea. e soaii oe giaqrio near trom any of bar citizens on this subject, and wil cbeerfaHy surrewkr space toils disenssioo- New;, Adyeiiisements. 1 !
