The election for delegates w ill be held on the first Thursday in August and the Convention tvill meet on the Gth day of September. We publish elsewhere" iu this paper the full text o the Convention bill which speaks for itself. - i We are glad to see that our Senators Messrs. Boddie and Cooke, and onr Representative Mr. Mitchell, voted for the bill ratjier than do anythiuy; that might seem to put them in antagonism with the party that has had control ot the Legislative department of the State Government for the past five years. Now .that, the measure is passed, aud made not only thepoliey of our party in the State,1 but a law of the laud, it behooves all good citizens and patriots to cat about and settle upon the best men in the State to go to Raleigh as members' of the Convention, to devise a government for free and honest North Carolinians to. live under. The day of the men of 18C8 arc passed, and with these days the men who were forced upon our peop'e, are gone into oblivion, except so far as their names are recorded in infamy. And now the time has come to lay aside the abomination that they forced upon us, as the organic law of the land. Let every North Carolinian, Every man who loves his State, Every man who loves his Vace, and desires to see its purity maintained and perpetuated for nil time to come, lay aside all other mat ters for a little while, and attend to these thiugs which make not only for the peace and good of the present gen eration, but which are to be handed down as bequests to our posterity Let it uot in after years be said of the men of 1875, they had the opportunity of rescuing their country frokn the woes of this mtst corrupt and hateful Consti tution, aud embraced it not.
