Mr. Bar ringer's visiou is circumscribed . to no limited glimpes of the present, but takes a sweep into the distant future and had the course indicated in LU letter of April 1SG9 been adopted by the Conservative party, Radicalism would never have had the opportunity to plunder and degade the State. While he has been one of the truest of the true," lus conciliatory man ners, his unselfishness, his dignified reti cence and abstinence from the jostles for office render him the most acceptable candidate upon whom, all classes of the ill 1 . opposition to -piunaerers can unite, .tie is so welt known to th State and Nation having filled so many stations of pub lic usefulness entirely j satisfactory to all that his name will give assurance of re of directors to tike fharge of it, ws candidly declare to you w should unhesitatingly sur render the penitentiary, books, key, &L, into the KaudS of suclj board aa you might appoint.

Has the general awemblr been in session since the 20th day of February ? Have they, since that time, passed a law authorizing you fo appuint a board of director for the penitentiary? If not, from whence do you derive the authority to vacate the board appointed hy the legUlature and appoint one to suit yourself? Who must we obey the law enacted by the general assem bly or the edict issued by your excellency? If under the late decision in the case of Clark and others vs. Stanly and others, you hold that the general assembly could nut constitutionally a point a board of directors for the ienitentinrr, I how U it possible for von, as governor, without the concurrence of a majority of the senate, to appoint a legal board during the recess of the general assembly? If, therefore, we are not a legal ooaru, it is imioiole to organize a con stitutional aud legal board of directors for the Icnitentiary without the concurrent action of the senate branch of the general assembly and the governor.

Caltlwil, Governor r, Sir: I have the honor toacknowledjje thro' our steward, Mr. D. C. Murray, the i receipt of your reply to our requisition for $10,000, to meet the necessary cunent expense aud for the purpose of constructing the exterior wall of the. penitentiary, accordinc to a recent act of the general assembly. In your reply you nay "that under a late decision ot the supreme court of North Carolina, in the case of C. C. Clark and others vs. K. R.' Stanly and others, I do not re eoguizc them (uh) n director of the peniten tiary." "With all due deference to; the legal acumen of your excellency, we beg to be ex cused for entertaining and expressing the opin ion that the " late decision of the supreme court of Js'orth Carolina, in the case of C. C. Clark and others vs. E. R. Stanly and others," doe not decide that the board of directors of the state penitentiary were not constitutionally and legally appointed. Wc claim to. hold the posi tion of directors of the state penitentiary accord ing to the constitution and laws of N4 Corolina. In this opinion the board of director arc forti fied bytbe opinion of eminent lawvrs as any in this state. If we are not in as directors ae ccordinj to law, put us out according to law ; appeal to the courts, we will abide their decis ion ; but do not acknowledge that ypu cannot put us out according to law and then attempt to force us out by starving the convicts. When ever the question shall be legally adjudicated, and it shall be decided by conipe'teM authority that we hold this position in violation of the constitution and laws of the state, we will cheer fully surrender this institution into; the hands of those who it may bedecided have a constitu tional and legal eontrol of it. Ui.til it shall be so decided, we cannot, honorahlyj abandon either onr position as a board of -directors or the con trol of the public institution and ppyjerty con fided to us by general assembly in the exercise of their constitutional rights, Heretofore your excellency has uniformaly recognized us as the legal uoara ot directors of the penitientiarv ; ap proved all our requisitions, and; the public funds appropriated for the support iof the prison, have been promptly paid over to us. There i now in the public treasury between eighty and one hundred thousand dollars, appropriated bv me general assembly ior the speevhe purpose of defraying the current expenses of Hit jeniten tiarj during the present iiscal vear; and for the construction of the exterior wall and temporary t, w. .-.-l-r u, piinuii. aiii.s siouev was ap propriated with the express understanding that it waa to be disbursed by us, the board of direc tor appointed by the general assembly, and to whom and none others they committed the care and management of this institution. Regard ing the general assembly as the supreme power in the state, and holding our position under the authority of that supreme power, we do not un derstand by what species of executive legerdemain yon claim to nullify an act of the legislature, and thereby thwart the will of the people aa expressed through their constitutional repre sentatives, In the al sence of a decision of the w . preme court upon a direct issue made up under the act by authority f which we hold our po VSAlUll, If you oould satisfy us that we this institution in violation of th ami laws of the state, and that vn have the consututjopai und legal right to appoint a board which we made a requisition will defray the uec- essary expenses of the institution until you can convene the general assembly. "Remember, gov ernor, that these convicts are in the penitentiary under the sentence of law, and' that while you have the right to pardon them out, the board of directors have no right to turn them out un der any circumstances, unless they are pardoned out ly you or their term ot imprisonment ex pires. These unfortunate beings, therefore, have no possible means of obtaining the food neces sary to keep them alive otherwise than through the lard of directors and yourself.

( onrvrvatives Democrat tnd President Board of Directors. are holding constitution BEARDING THE LION IN HIS DEN. We quote from the 'Era : "The Republican party in North Carolina have heretofore honored, and jf tbe occasion should require it, are ' ready again to honor their distinguished; Senator iu Washington City. He in turn should remember that some thing is due to. his .friends in North Carolina ; that Republics rusruvennnot be expected to de rive all of its sustenance and vitality from Washington City, that it should take root and grow here ; that it should conform to a reason able public senlimcut, which is of the very, es sence ot Republicanism. Senator Pool, by reason of his public services, and of the ipi menso patronage at his disposal, has a very great and wide influence." Now, we call th' bearding the lion in his den. What will Senator Pool say to tin I hat will Pool s fi lends say? The Era evidently defies the power of the Radical Sonntor from North Carolina. The Era does not wish to follow Pool's leadership. As the organ of the lUdicl party iu the State, it reads tliat gentleman a lecture which hethould heed at his peiil. Iu addition to public services, Pool has "a great .tnd idp influence by reason of the immense patronage at his disposal," -v a a say the f,ra. l'atronage ; aim there s the rub. But for that . "immense patron age" the Senator would be fanglese. Rut notwithstanding the ''immense patronage" the Era still defies liitn. it says pool'a brother Sol is incompetent and unfit for President of the IJnivtrsity. It says also that his said brother has broken down Chapel Hill, aud brought reproach upon the Radical party 1 It goes father, and indignantly repudiates any dictation frpm Senator Pooj. It tells that Senator that "Republicanism cannot be expected to derive all its sustenance and vitality from "Washington City, that Jit should tajie royt and grow here."
