Throughout the Ounty joy prevails,
The result of tho recent tri mphaut J

recess of our vast domain, and SlU the I
heart of every wan, woman and child, I
who if a lover of god, free and honest I
government w i h paroxisms of delight,
and joy. It has inspired new con fi-
deoce in the vitality of Republican
.government. We are learning old I
sentiments anew. The old . muxiiu
that goodDcss of ititei tion or public
virtue is found in the pxple at larg
in a greater degree than elsewhere,
rings in our cars with a greater furce
and beauty thin it has ever done be
fore. Though tho pep e may .-for a
long time seem to bo led off from the
paths of rectitude and that love for
civil liberty inborn in them, yet
there is a point beyond which thy can.
notbecarried,aud whenever tyrants and
thieves encroach too much on the mu
niments, purchased with the bluod of
the long lineof martyrs of Civil liberty
and honest governmcut from the days
of the earliest inception of the govern
ment of our Anglo Saxon ancestry,
down to the period in which we live,
the people have risen up in their might
acid said to these would be usurpers of
power, whether king or peasant,
"Hold I tbou hast gone far enough,
That line shall not be .assed." Just
now tho American people are rejoic
ing at the happy termination of a con
flict between the ruling and the ruled,
in which the latter have asserted and
maintained their supremacy. America
is redeemed ; dishonesty is rebuked.
Tyrants have been foiled lu their plot-
tings against tho liberties of the pco
pie. And the sun of Liberty is at its
zenith of noonday splendor.
We promised our renders last week,
to give them the letter of the Hon. J.
J. Davis, writteu by request to the
Raleigh Daily News, on the Conven
tion. We publish it in full, and it
will no doubt be read wi'h great in
terest by our people :
: LouisBuao, Nov. 5th. 1874.
Major Johii W. Dunham :
My Dear Sir: Your letter of
Oct. 27th, requesting me to give you
i,a letter for publication in the News,
upon the question of the Convention, "
was received somn days ago, but other
engagements have pruwutcd au answer
until now.
The question is one of immediate
interest to the people of North Caro
lina, and ai it concerns every citizen,
however humble, I feel it a duty to
comply with your request.
Recognizing the many defects in tho
present Constitution, called, by way of
derisien the Cauby or Carpet-1 ag
Constitution,' and anxious as I am to
see some of its features wholly eradi
cated and others materially amended, I
regret that I caum t onrur ith those
of our friends who think that the Leg
islaturo. soon to assemble, ought to
call a Convention to revise and amend
mat ins'rumeni. many tiun-rs are "law
ful'' that are not u expedient," and
this is one of the questions which ad
dresses itself to the wise discretion of
the Legislature. In all matters of
discretion, where there is no moral or
legal obligation requiring action or
, non action, it is not onlj tight and
J proper, but it is a duty to consider the
1 expelieucy or tnexpenhency of meas
urea and if there is a probability (from
whatever cause) that evil hill result
from action, Wo should not act. In
there a probability thtt evil will result
from the call of a Convention ? I fear
there is, and, without going into a full
discussion, I will state some of the
grounds of my fears :
1. The subject was not generally
discussed in the late canvass, but in
KOme l(Vfllitire it ro I V I
,lur5l;u UJr our
, r.ui "ii it we ouiaiucu power
Wwouldcall a Convention, and, among
other things, repeal the Constitutional
provision securing a houieatead.. This
was not only deniud, but it was stated.
at least by some of our candidates for
the Legislature, thut there was no pur
pose on the part of Democrats or Con
servatives to call a Convention, if suc
cessful. 1 know and you know that
there is not the remotest probability
that the homestead provision will ba
interfered with, but we aUo know that
there exist, in the tniuds of many pco
pie, an apprehension upon tho subject,
and it is of that class of ; fears which
you cannot easily remove anil which
itwtuu ua increase dj : a movement
for a Convention at t..i t!n vi,
J 1 , ,
nnf ,w,.iiL j: . .
uuw hue naajnon aiscussed in thv
late canvass? ; I think the answer may
be found In the faa Out there was an
"w H uwwu uiacussea in
apprehension that it would prove an
e!ement oif weakness and a source of
defeat. The last - oppression -of . the
public will upon the subject was in
1871, when the question was submitted
to a direct vote of the people, and
when it was Voted down lya large ma
jority, although we had had, at the
i
preceding election iti 1870, a victory
almost equal to that of the present
year. I know that it is said, and tru
ly said, that many men voted against
thi" Con ventioaln 1 87 1: because they
did not approve .the inode in which .be
quebtion was submitted, but it will be
remembered' that at the same election
at which the Convention was voted
down there was an election for dele
gates to the Contention, in the ' event
it should be called aud, if lam conect-
ly informed, we failed to elect a ma-
jo ity of Deui'cr-.ts and Conservatives,
though we had, the year before, car-
ried both branches of the Legislature
by decided majorities.
2. You s&y there is a contrariety
of opinion upon tie subject,'' and that
you " seek information and ask the fa
vor of letters from the advocates and
opponents of the roovejeut. Un
fortunately, this difference of opinion
exisiu only in the rank? of our own
party. Is it wise or expedient to enter
upon the movement thus divided ? I
know that it is insisted by many of our
best men that having the power in this
matter we should act without re'erence
to our adversaries, but is this practie
able? Let us see. We know the fact
that the Republican party leaders in
North Carolina, control, wiih a few
exceptions, he solid negro vote.- I
only state a fact there is no division
in that vote on any question. No
question of Homestead, of the J-dicta
ry, of tmpropei di&tribrtitn of power
bttween the dijfeaent branches of gov
ernment, of i lections , of criminal late,
of tJie restoration of tlie Co nty Com. tst
none ef these questions divide them ;
they vote as directed by party leaders.
None of the many questions, therefore,
that may arise in the c nvass for dele
gates to the Convention, if one shaU
be called, will divide them. They and
the Republican party will be almost a
unit against tho Convention,
and acainst election the of
Democratic delegates. I have heard
of out one Republican, of any note.
who is in favor of a Convention, and
he. I am informed, avows himself in
favor of it with the hope that it will
annul the homestead nrovision
whether sincere or insincere iu tuis is
pot material ; the effect is the same.
Can we hope, in the event of a call for
Convention, which may be done by the
Legislature, without any reference to
the people, that there will be j uch unity
and harmony ou ihe part of Democrats
as to secure the control of the Conven
tion and direct its action wisely, safely
and prudently? It is, I think, not
assuming more than is true to say, at
least for t'ois State, that the Deiuowratn
and Conservatives constitute the inde
peudent class of voters and thinkers.
It is hardly to be expected that they
will agree upon all the quoction of
changes and amendments that will be
considered in the election of delegates,
and the differences of opinion that Will
naturally arise will be an element of
weakness to us and of strength and
confidence to our oppouents, and we
shall run the lisk more than I am
willing to hazard of having either an
inhannoii ous or d Radtml Conven
tion ; in the first event wise and judi
cious action; will be doubtful and in th j
latter none of our friends cai. hope for
anything good. I know it is said by
some of them that no Convention which
can be called will probably give to ue
u Constitution so bad as the present,
Graut that to be so, yet if we fail to
get good and wholesome amendments,
we shall be 4 set back1 indefinitely
and the destruction of public confidence
and the surreuder of hope will result
as evil consequences.
3. It may be said that this is put-
tiug the question purely upon its effect
upon parties Mid upon party grounds,
and that party and parties should not
stand in the way of public good I do
most readily concede that no party and
the interest of no party shouldttaud for
a tnomc t in the way of tlie public
u roeasure 8Lall
have
the effect to defeat the only party in
the State upou which any hope for
the public good en rest, that measure
should yield not to party for party's
jwtfce, but to party fo the sake of the
public good. 1 should be glad to know
that my fears are groundless, but I
know there is still au uneasiuess in the
public niiud, and many of our people
are not yet free from the appreheusion
of redcrar interference in our domes-
tic affairs. KooDe iMres more than I
do to see tUe btate, m ail her local, iu-
tcrnal atTain. free from all Federal in-
fluenees ad, such influences endanger
civil liberty, and are an outrage ujon
free government, but the fear f this
luflunce dos exist and we mmt look
I ni. t!i jw tliv mi nl nn

would have them. e should be care-
tui to ao uothins to endanger the sue
cess of constitutional principles in the
great contest between centralism and
liberty of the I States which is j to be
fought in 1870.
BTut it will be said : "If you do not
call a Convention now while you have
t!ie" power, what wUl you do T' I
answer, let us " hasten slowly and
surely. The political body has been
terribly diseased it can not be healed
a
in a day its "tone," to use the lan
guage of the physician, must be r e
stored. - "Whatever is , best adniinis-.
tered is best,' V and the strengthening
tonic of good and faithful Democratic
tjonservative administration will soon
restore all its functions to healthy and
vigorous action.- Let the patient re
gain confidence in his ability to move
safely this requires time.
A new and bright and, I trust, a
glorious day for civil liberty and consti
tutional government is now dawning
upon us. The mighty voice of the peo
ple coming up from the ' States is pro
claiming in a commanding tone that
must and will be heeded, that infrac
tions upon the rights of the States and
the freedom of the people shall cease.
We must remember that our victory
last August was mainly won upon Fed
eral issues! opposition to Civ I Rights
and Fideal interference with tlie
rights of the StaU s and not upon lo
cal or State issues. I know that many
of our friends say that we should act
without any reference to our Federal
relations; but is this wise? Let us re
member that we are one of a mighty
band, moving in harmony and concert
with our sister States who have recently
joined the Democratic ranks, and in
spired with new courage and filled with
pew hopes by the victories of October
and of Tuesday last, let us take no step
that will weaken us at home or en
danger the mighty column no massing
to move upon the enemies of elf gov
ernment in 1 870, When this victory
is complete there will be a freedom of
thought and of action in regard to our
domestic affairs which has not been our
fortune since the abominable days of
reconstruction, when Federal power and
" carpet-bag" hatred cursed us with the
present Constitution, which I believe
all good men in North Carolina desire
to see materially amended, and which
no one more than myself would be glad
to see remodeled.
These are my opinions, expressed
because you request them, but ifihe
Legislature, judging more wisely, shall
bt of the opinion that a Convention
ought now to be called, no one will
pray more earnestly than I that har
mony and wise counsels may prevail,
and tliat ws may have such a Conven
tion as will reflect new honors upon our
beloved State, and give us, in the place
of the ill gotten offspring of the bay.),
net, the carpet-bag and the negro, a
Constitution of which we may be
proud, and under which we and our
children for many generations to come,
may live happy and prosperous.
Truly yours,
Jos. J. Davis.
Tlie Dilent of Uutlor.
No feature of the late election is so
grateful to the people of the South as
the defeat of Benjamin F. Butler.
False to every instinct of virtuous hu
manity, and the friend in Congress of
every thief who was plundering the
National Treasury, his ovei whelming
defeat is a cause of profound joy to eve
ry honest man and a tribute to the mor
ality and honor of Massachusetts' But
it is on account of his malijrnant venom
towards the Southern Deorjle that ws
chiefly rejoice at his overthrow. Since
his infamous military reign in the cities
0f New Orleans and Norfolk, his name
has bceu a by-word among ua, for all
that is vilanious and despicable in the
character of man. A murderer a foul
I calumniator of our women, a corrupt
j and merciless tyrant, a politician of the
j baser sort, who used his menial powers
in furtherance of his vile passions,
J Butler, the Beast !, Thank God for his
j overthrow!. It came to us sounexpect-
able that at first we could scarcely
credit the welcom news. Even now
we fail to measure the full depth of our
satisfaction. It is so good, so refresh
ing, so delicious, soexquisitely gratify
inr, so exhiliratincr, that words fail us.
His voice always raised iu defence of
wrong, shall be hushed. 11 is hands al
ways ready to aid in any corrupt scheme
of plunderyshall be tied His influence al
waysexerted in behalfo"tyranny,is gone.
He is beaten down in his own home
I and among his own people. Slinkin"
away into the thorny retirement of bis
private life, a cipher now in American
politics, let Lim be left, like Arnold, to
the avenging lashes of his own con
science, a Pa.riah among men.
