Mrjaik. EaiTou-Waroin the midst-of
revolutioOi While w are deprecating the nn
cansititntional and revolutionary measure of
the Itadiral, North, we are onraelve enacting
til tame scene at home. We aak any candid
maa to lay the condnct of eur Convention, just
cloard, atong1of the Radical in Congreas,
en the ulject nf Oinf itotional amendment,
and ay wbh k evince tha. most xlbvegord for
our written Constitution. , ,
The Constitution of North Carolina prcv.-rilje
the way, and only way, of altering our Consti
tution or organic lw. Is the recent n-emblag
of uien, eald A Convention, such a Ixnly as is
(leiM-ribed a a Constitutional Convention in our
C'onHtitnticm Waa it ealleil into tieing by two
third of the Legialatnre of North Carolina ?
Were tlie voter of the House of Commons al
lowed to vote for ch-Jegate t ' Wa ttiere any
rrstrirtioir oa the choke nf delegate them
selves ? - Had sot the Sooth surrendered herself
prisoner of war I Wa - not tha Convention
called into being and constituted by the Presi
dent and military power of the country f Did
not tlte military power prescribe the qualifica
tions of voters and delegates, and forbid a por
tion of the people from the right of voting and
sitting a members f Wa not their business
and Ordinance prescribed to them, from that
saire military power; and when they bad com
piled with th term of those who assembled
them, did not their function eeaaSf " But they
continued their authority and resolved thrm
srfv(W into different body, for a rtirlcmrt pur-,
pose than they were amembled for. They be
come - a new and different body and 'clothed
tliCluaclve with lie peftefa, . Their umuiuLh
tion of these new power wa a direct, palpahlt
wurpsrwit. -They laid their illegitimate hand
oa tli Constitution ; they seized and exercised
the power of the Legislature- and ot tb
courts; they laid their band on tha treasury (
levied taxes aud appropriated the money to
their own pay. .They divorced people from
their Government and men ffm their wives.
Now admit, for a mimeut, thai the Constitu
tion lias Wo amended, and improved, by this
self-constituted Convention, can the people eon
sent to ratify their act, under such circumstan
ces ? Would they not thereby lend themselves
to the revolutionary movement which is now
prostrating every power in the land - Would
they b safe in adopting this new Constitution ?
It is true this now Constitution, enact that it
ahall nut again b altered, except by a legiti
mate Cou veil lion of lh people, called by two
thirds of th Leoislature ; and 1 it not equally
true that our old Constitution ft i a similar
pmviiion And cannot - nny tt.i:r- miautlior
ired body follow their prei-eden and set this
restriction alil and aiu.-r rrns Constitution;
and what will, prevent any future Legislature
Irnra teaol'viug itself Into a Convention. or com'
mittee, take up this new Constitution, alter- it,
"belter it or batter it,"' and submit it to the
people, at the next August election, for ratifica
tion If th ratitlcaliutt of (his la good, so,
would that be. The same breath that bieaiued
life and existence into one, breathes the came
or a mora lcgitimate'breatn into the other. I
say more legitimate, because there may be a free
and unlimited vote, hereafter, which may aot
be allowed now.
- W are in th midit of revolution. Let at
rally around aud protect the old Constitution,
winch has come down to u from better day
and be.ttartnen; and when we again (ret on .our
twit, free and upright, if our good old ark Reels
any repairs from the Sturm -i -im liis passed, let
us proceed about It in a pit.. ... .id lawful way.

Urn. Jfmtpaurf Blair, Wahingte p. C. '
Dear Kir: Vour letter of th lite instant it
before me. I thank yon heartily tor it. No
nan in tha United States did or could more cor
dially approve and endorse the objects of the
Imposed Union Convention at Philadelphia (a
Bndemtood them) than I did; and yet, from
eonaidcrations of expediency, -I doubted the
propriety ef njy taking active part in it. I
was also in doubt, to soma exteut, whether,
with other views on ih part of those who made
tlie call, the words were not so phrased in th
call as to exclude all who occupied a similar
position to my own, and from oilier considera
tions as those which had occurred to me. ,
- Your letter relieves me from the last class oi
doubts, but those of the other class still exist,
notwithstanding your strong views to, the con
trary. , Individually my whole soul is enlisted
la the cause if a speedy, full and perfect resto
ration of the Govemptrut nnder the Constitu
tion, and its permanency under that Constitu
tion as it now stand. There i nothing within
my power that I am not willing cheerfully to
do to effect and accomplish that end. Indeed,
(you will excuse me in saying It, bat it is the
truth,) I would be willing to offer up my life
itself, if by so doing this great result could be
obtained end peace, union, harmony prosperi
ty, happiness and constitutional liberty be there
by secured to tlie militant now living, and the
unfold millions hereafter to Uv oa thisveouti
nant. ' I '
- There are many personal embarrassment or
diDicuIties in (he way of my going to the Con
vention these J alluded to before but I am
rttolted to lie there if lean. In no event shall
It tie etrer truthfully mid of m that 1 foiled to
do everything in my power to save tb country
and It institution. T -' ,' .'
, I did in liO exert my effort to their utmost
extent to avoid tha late most lamentable war,
aud to save the Union oa constitutional princi
ple without a 'conflict oi anna. This I did,
too, wnile many of those now so clamorous for
what thry call "the Union cause" were giving
encourofreimnt, at least, to th extremis men at
the Mouth by clearly and decidedly intimating,
if not fully expressing a perfect willingness, on
their part, that "th C'nlun might slide'' if tha
people of the Sou tli o willed it, ! was sven
taunted with endeavoring to hold our people on
to a Uuioa that was no longer cared for -by
leading men of tha dominant ' par! at the
North, I withstood these taunt even when I
knew or wa informed truly, a I believed, that
there wa aa organized body ot men in Savan
nah to seize tlie Custom Houses Fort Pulaski,
Ac., in rase th Slat did not secede. All Hi is
I utated to you, and to jvbich you allude in
your letter before me ; nor should I have any
hesitancy In stating it to the public If any pub
lic good eould thereby tie effected. Tha public
good is my only object. : How best to suWrve
that, consistently with truthonov and uprights
ness. It the only question with me,- Personal
interests have no influence with me whatever.
At least I think so, and may be excused for say
ing to. Had I been governed by personal feel
ing, I should have had nothing to do with the
lat troubles, further than entering my earnest
protest against them. , And had I been govern
ed by personal feelings, I should not now be io
the situation I km. ' ' -
- If tha Union shall lie restored under the Con
stitution, at I earneatly desire to see it done,
and I am willing to do all I can towards that
end,) it is my fixed purpose to retire forever
from all connection with public affair. Ho that
while it would seem that my present efforts are
tending U a result in which I have more or lest
tersnnal interestthat Is, my admission as a
enalor in Congress-, yet I aHr you I never
expect or intend to hold that piMilion" long,
even it the seat should be awarded to me.
