The State Executive Committee of
the Conservative party, as we have
nrfivionslv announced, will meet in
r?i;, not VVonPsav. The tirorrj-
inent purpose of the session will be
the consideration of the subject of
calling a Convention to change the J
rnno1:,n.;nn nf North Carolina. In-
VUllOVIVUViv v. I
vitations have been extended to the

nil ihfi calmness and deliberation
which it could command. With only
' - ' I
the desire to save the Conservative
live nartv from possible defeat and
-- - r y 1
disorganization The Morning Stak
has opposed Convention from the be
ginning of the discussion. The views
of reflecting politicians who are ac
customed to look below the sp-face
have ben printed in these col
umns. These have condemned the
movement as : risky, imprudent,
ill-timed and dangerous. It cost
these gentlemen something to come
out in ooDOsition to what under
- - r 4
other and more favorable circum
stances would be the wish of every
sincere and thoughtful citizen of the
Stateopposition to the expressed
desire, qven under existing circum
stances, of a great number of our
best people. We have told the peo
ple that what Venable, Davis, Fowle,
Yeates Bennett, Cunningham and
.1 1 . . .
otners nave written in our opinion ex
presses the logic and the wisdom of
the great qaestion at issue. With us
have stood a number of able and
goodly newspapers in different por
tions of the State. These papers have
not striven to affect public sentiment,
at all;they have merely with candor
and honest solicitude for the welfare
of the Commonwealth sought to re
flect the sentiment of the Conserva
tives of their respective localities and
sections. If the voice of this inde
. pendent and free-spoken press is to
be believed, there is enough oppo
- sivion among the people to make the
proposition now entertained the most
hazardous ever presented by a politi
cal organization in North Carolina.
That it is so hazardous we have other
means of knowing beside the word of
wise leaders and the declaration of
responsible newspapers. Every day
we have had written or oral proof
from private gentlemen whose char
acter and intelligence entitle them to
a respectful hearing , as to the senti
.ment of their own communities. Some
of the letters we have published
prove incontestably as we are pre
pared to avouch the responsibility of
their authors the great opposition of
the people in many counties to even
consider for the present so imprudent
a measure as the one the Executive
Committee will deliberate upon next
week. In two - counties west of us
1 the people are en masse opposed to
Convention. In other counties not so
far from this city the opposition is
very great. In the counties of which
(jroldsboro is the centre and metropo-
lis the Conservatives are violently op-
posed to the suicidal proposition. In
the part of the State which Maj.
i Yeates will represent in the next Con
gress there is also powerful antago-
nisni to the measure being adoptedf as
a part of our party policy. We
hear and believe that Wake cannot
be carried by the Conservatives in the
event of an election for delegates. So
,P.,it is in in other counties of the middle
part of the State. Farther" wjest it
is, if possible, worse.
These are not empty assumptions.
There is hardly a doubt that we have
presented the aspect of the question
in a brighter light than we should
nave done. , Evidence accumulates
that the Conservative party is badly
divided on the Convention subject.

gard them, and rush blindly 011 we
know not whither.
In this hour of uproar and turmoil
in national politics, when every arm
of the gallant Democrats and Li
berals of the county is raised to deal
death blows to Radicalism, when the
hone8tpress and the politicians of the
North implore us to dono rash thing,
assuring us of their determination to
right all our wrongs in good, time if

the white people; of Louisiana
with

ple were not a people who approved
of assassination, and this attempt to
get up here a cry that .assassination
was in the air was the airiest bjibble
that ever found lodgment in an empty
head." West subsided. :
This pricking of the carpet-bag
bubble elicited immense applause.
THE EFFECT OF THE MESSAGE.
The President's friends say thkt his
message sets him all right befoije the
country. Since the meetings of in
dignation in the NortH continue to be
held and resolutions of protesuj and
denunciation continue to passjj the
State Legislatureswe must be allowed
to dissent from this modest- claim.
We see nothing that looks like re
gaining lost ground. J On 'the pther
band we "think the indignation ' will
increase, and that the unparalleled
outrage on republican government
will be more signally rebuked than
any man now dreams of.

' Tbe Ceuleunlal Celebration.
It is proposed j to celebrate the ap-
proachitig Centennial Anniversary of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence of the 20th May, 1775.
The Board of Commissioners of the
i. , .i
county of Mecklenburg and the Board
of Aldermen of the city of Charlotte
joint council have recommended
that a Mass Meeting be held in Char-
otte on Thursday, the 4th day of
February ensuing, for the purpose of
taking such action as shall be deemed
necessary, in order to perfect the pre-
iminary arrangements for the occa
sion. . i . T
The undersigned a committee, ap
pointed by the above mentioned
Hoards, to conduct; the arrangements
for the Mass Meeting, would urge
upon the attention of the public the
importance of a full attendance at
this preliminary! meeting. Many im
portant measures will come up tor
consideration, if' the celebration is to
be at all worthy of the great event
which inspires it. It will be necessary
to determine by; means of committees
or otherwise, not only the general
plan of the celebration, but also to
arrange and specify in detail such
proceedings as shall be deemed ap
propriate to the occasion, and to desig
nate and invite orators and speakers
and, such distinguished officials and
personages as it may be deemed ex
pedient and proper to specially solicit
to be present; and also to inaugurate
measures for raising necessary funds
to defray expenses, &c
It is confidently
expected that the
of Mecklenburg
people, not only
county, but ofj
the whole State of
North Carolina
and especially that
the descendants of those who partic
ipated in the memorable event which
it is proposed to celebrate, wherever
they may be dispersed throughout
this and other States, will join with
alacrity in the movement, and eagerly
aiid gladly co-operate in honoring the
memory of the brave men who have
left such a glorious heritage to their
posterity and their country. 1
We hope to Witness a large assem
blage at this preliminary meeting,
Let no'one wait for another but let
every one do his fbll duty. And then
we shall have a' grand coming togeth
er on the 20th of May next to com
memorate the deeds of valor and pa
triotism, which, one hundred years
before, rendered that day illustrious
tor an time to come, mat we our
selves may catch afresh the inspira
tions of liberty and rebuild the found
ations of free government, j

The pretty jlittle maid of honor,'

pease his bride, who was sent, out of

to treat with heri It was proposed
that' she should renounce all claim to

vice she would receive lvOOO'000 rou-

Heaven and earth have failed to move
iur. oster to bring in a partisan 1
puit. a ue statement that the full
committee were going to New Orleans
is absurd. As the committed stands
it would require an order of the House.
The Democratic members I of Con
gress, who have conversed freely on
the President's message, give as their
opinion that it is a remarkably disin
genuous document, and that its mis
statements will have no more effect
than the
from Republican Senators. I
