Deeply solicitous as I am td see the old and constitutional relations of the States of the South, to the Union re stored, and general harmony re-established, I cannot consent to throw over the organism of civilized society in a vain and Quixotic attempt to effect that result I prefer to ask Congress to reconsider the propriety ; of the course -which -lias been adopted, and would pray them to remember that the destruction of a State, hlch" yiW be the , effect ot the measure propos ed,, can never oe tne means ot nm Adoption of a change in her constltu by strlKlni' out provision which. a ;naa conspicuously, nm in those of other great States of the union. ; and whlch ? they Indignantly refused to remove. Isjto affix a badge of inferiority utterly Inconsistent with thelf " aver . hereafter being considered an association ot equals, f.. ; I , , There are two modes of making an appeal without dlsfeapect to Congress yirst. by electing a convention, which hall frame such a' constitution as la deemed fit for -th 'people of North Carolina, and asking approbation theof. Second, by voting agalnBt con vention; And, inamuch at the only specific requirement of the act of Con gress Is as to a- provision n the con tltution to negro suffrage, which we consider It ru Indus to adopt, I should prefer , the latter. Conventions, with power over the fundamental law of the BUte, are not called of choice, except In cases where change ; Is de Sired, but If the alteration proposed la not' approved, there Is no occasion for the tall. To me, who concurred in and most heartily approved their de cision. It was a. sublime spectacle in February, 1861, to see the people of North Carolina reject the proposition mad by the Legislature to call a convention to consider the subject of accession. The presses and politicians of various shades of opinion, were, In the confusion and uncertainty of the times, nearly unanimous In favor of the call. But the people seeing the critical conditions of affairs, rejected it by a decisive majority; at the same time taking "cafe" to elect delegates, who would represent their sentiments, provided, the affirmative had prevail ed. Thus two months were gained, be fore causes, not then anticipated, and which were regarded when they oc curred as a necessity, precipitated us Into a war already commenced. These are some of . the views 1 should have presented to your meet ing, had I been able to attend. I think the subject has been less considered, ty the poople, than, from lta tran scendent Importance, It deserves. I disclaim any purpose of disrespect or contumacy towards any department or apy authority of the government of the United States, and 'still more at aiming to promote the . Interests of party. A Whig from principle, never hav ing had any other party connection, now past the meridian of life, I will gladly forgo all his interests in party, provided, he can be assured, that he Willie walled and Winnie wheesed, while Wintry winds whined weirdly. Willie wrlgfle.1 while Winnie wheesed wretchedly. Wisdom whispers, winter winds work wheeses. Wherefore we writ 'Use Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup." Nothing else so good.

Our own C!.tMtin, htg y. i :j i d in the halls of Connx'H8, ; akin? of faction, which 1h but par ty in excewt, exclaimed, 'Faction out of power 1 a demon in chains. Fac tion clothed with the attributes of rule Is a Moloch of dertructlon." In our present situation what Is party to us or we to party? To adopt plat forms, to profess creeds or barter away our rights and Interests as a State,' In order to conciliate any party, Is not only -positively wrong, but is a mistaken ' policy Nothing less than ths efficacy of that perfect law of lib erty embraced In the constitution of the United States, wlthi all Its privi leges and mutual guarantees, will re lieve or materially benefit us. After this shall be restored we may afford to participate in the contest of parties. A half-faced fellowship, a patched up union based On fear, and accompanied with mental reservations, should not be desired. I trust that Congress will reconsider ' an be convinced of this truth and I trust that th people will be charitable towards each other, and patient and submissive to tha laws, but they will not lose their self pos session ; nor- forget that ' freedom In elections la their' birthright;, and, If there be among: us those who, con scious of little favor with the old vot ers are seeking to xhlblt extraordi nary seal for new, and bind them to gether as a party organisation, oppo site and hostile, on the Imaginary ground of adverse Interests, let the former remember that .they constitute the majority, and on this questipn hold, their own destinies In their own hinds.

A. GRAHAM. Nlklsch on Conducting. Truth. Herr Nlklsch has been talking in Interesting fashion on the subject of the art on which he Is so supreme an evponent. "To let the instruments sing," he said, "is the secret of - conducting. Song is the soul of music; everything in an orchestra has to sing, even the dryest instrument. "The conductor is., like a skilled sportsman who lets the horses have the1 reins and yet guides them. 'As long as my picture of the musld Is not spoiled I let the player ana slhg: er draw the line. I remember well my own feelings when playing in the orchestra. I was cut short, still be- insr on the last beat of a bar, when the military conductor began the next." Imprisoned by Snow. London Globe. One of the most remarkable In stances of hardship Inflicted by snow on a whole population comes from the Perplfcnan region of France. Round about the mountain village of Hop pltalet. in the Ariege Department and in the village Itself, snow lies to a depth of more than eighteen feet, Avalanches are falling and more are feared. The place is cut off for the winter and cattle perish in their stalls. The inhabitants are, of course, virtually prisoners in their own houses, which they only leave under the imperious necessity of getting water. To reach the village well they have a tunnel cut under the snow to the well. THIS DAY IN IIISTOUY. Name Myi Samuel. Hun rlues at 6:25; m.-ts at 6:3t. 1634.
