Now let u look a little into tliia innttor :
Ilolden athe only one nf the Provisional
Governor who did not take tht teet oath, and,
at all the vother did take it, the conclusion
force Itself upon the mind that H wa Ukewiae
expected of Ilolden to do ao, but why be did
wot take it, let him anwcr for himself, Thi
teat oath, which be would nowr have the read
er of tbe Standard to leliev i all right, and
that Gov. Worth ia alt wrong and, diihyal for
tayin; will practically disfranchise the Btatva
lately in reU'llioti.vmbit.iaWjrn from WMbing
ton City, about twelve month ao, he declared;
through Ha column, muat be modified, "
our people could not take it that he himself,
the taithtuT among the faithlena, could not take
it I But Prwident Jhnrq appointed Mr.
Ilolden Provisional Governor of North Caroli
na, notwithstanding he did not tike thii tent
oath, became, a we now have reason to know,
he could not takek. It i therefore, in evidence
that President 4ohnn did not require of hi
Pravklonal Governor to take thi oth a a nec
tMr proof of loyalty to the jrovernment and
of lnilliJulnes to theaw of, the eouutry ; and
we do not believe, for one moment, that he
would require any atich tcit of the Rrprew qta
tlvei to Congreaa from tbe 6tate lately in re
bellion, whe they had been duly and properly
elfcted by the people, and were known to be at
-present Uwal to ibe government.
Moreover, we defy th-jStiniiri to lmw thatt'
President Johnson bs anywhere said, much
le "declared over and over again, that the
States must send member Who can take, this
test oath. Mr. Holden taya be jeonld not titSs
11 ; in lci, tuai scarcely any 01 our jieopie coui'i
do to, unlet it was modified ; while Mr. Seward
informs the Congress of the United State that
Mr. Holden Was the only one of the Provisional
Governors that did not take It. 1 Yet President
Johnson appointed bira Provisional Governor
of North Carolina, to reorganiw that ubjta
tcd State, and cbntianed him in office until that
worktabi estimation, was accomplished.
Kow e contend that President Johnson would
never have appointed" him to that reHnsiltle
office if he bad not tmtidertJ bit loyal and

President Johnson doe not regord the ability
to tsk tUis Cengrtidonal test outh itlie only
satisfactory evidence of loyalty to the jvern
ment and of willingness faithfully to obey tbe
law of the country; and, therefore, also, we con
tend that PreUdent Johnson divrs not repair
"that the State must aend mt Jiber who can
take thi test oath."
Don the Standard comprehend this matter I
Or'does Hulden lfieve that it requires, less of

The offence charged is rettilmg vithout a uaiite.
It fs but fair to tbe petitioners, referred to,
that I should here state, that the investigation
made by me induced the belief that efforts had
lieen made to indict many of the petitioners for
ollencesof tbe character of those mentioned in

by such circumstance as induced the petitioners-to

true dbj(t.t for which the CoaveUtiOn'trae cafled.
It was called to restore the State to the Federal
Union, aud it would be recreant to it duty, if
it failed to accomplish this purjiose or to do all
in its power to etlect jt. We are a conqpred

restore U to tbe position, we have lost. Great
question are crowding 'upon us, and we must
nlirnik train no burthen; that they may impose.
A dark and bloody past is behind us, and it is
hard to forget it, but we must forget the past
to meet the future. - That future has no safety
but 1 in the path ot duty, , Theoretically in tb

Soulhcrh States was naturally viewed at the
.North as an outcropping of tbe rebellion. . ,f ,'
Mr. Dick proceeded to argue that it was tbe
duty of the government to protect itself, and
to see that thu spirit of secession ia utterly
crushed out in North Carolina as elsewhere.
Characterizing accession a a fallacy, and depre
cating consolidation ss equally ., dangerous Mr.
Dick paid a high tribute to the patriotism of
President Johnson, ami urged the duty of sus

. In conclusion, Mr. Dick , dwelt npon th l.u-
poliey of electing to Congress, ftf iother high
uollUcet positions, men who had ncld promi

wttilUm at kmarbiw snmw F tbeenointivm
Mr. Clark said that the only issue presented
in tlie resolutions wa whether the. Convention
would endorse President Johrson' reconstruc
tion policy, or indirectly that of the Radical
ia Congress. The preamble to tho resolution
express the "hope, that the t'rvsulent, (during
the races of the Convention,) vnmld It author-
i&dby Cengrtm to declare the State restored to
the Union." Tbe fair, is fact, the ojily iuference
from this .itmarkable language i that : what
the President has dpne without- the authority
of Congress, he had no right do. This, in eftect,
is an endorsement ot the position of Stevens
and Sumnerr that ( ongress ha wile control of
toe sunject or reconstruction, aud endorse tlie
Present only to the rxrrnt that his policy has
received Mmgreesionai sanction,
Tb resolutions proiose to send a committee
of seven to Washington pity to consult with
President Johnson, his Cabinet ami Congress.
We have already ascertained that our- action
is satisfactory to the President that we have
fully met tbe requirements of- hi policy a
policy wuicn nas receiveu iue approval ai a
majority ot the Cabinet. ?
This beingthe caff, the only object must be
to consult with Congress, ignoring alike the
ti : .1 . 1 1 - ,
ricNueui won vim pouej. .
Mr. Clark here adverted to "the impractica
bility tbe absurdity of any attempt to consult
congress in an organized capacity, anu asked
if the Convention thought that auy commission,
representing North Carolina,' would be admit
ted to the Boor of either House of Congress as
a co-ordinate branch oi tbe government ?
The only way in which consultation could be
bad wit Congress would be by. inter .jlew.
with individual memliers and upon these no
Judicious action could be bused,
ill eicguut auslion, chasta and eloquent gema-ali-
ties, many of which he Was prepared to endorxe.
Dut tney Had strangely tailed to speak to the
tulijcct-mstt(.T cuntaiutd -in -the resolutioo.
ia conclusion, Mr. C. spoke warmly and en
thusiastically in favor of the President's poli
cy, and cautioned members of .the "Convention
against arraying themselves, directlv or indi
rectly, against it by passing these reso'niioua The
policy of .ibe PresUaat a bsMod-wtun - tlta
Constitution, and to it alone could we look for a
preservation of our rights under tM Constitu
tion in our present unhappy condition. '
In this connection, he cited the declaration of
President Johnson, that rebellion could exist
elsewhere than under ordinances of secession,
and bade the Convention beware, lest, they bv
their action should give euvouragemeut- to the
radicals, woo were seeking to subvert tue Uon
stitntion. n'n-iu.i ' mil 1 . ,
At the instance of Mr. Conigland, Mr. Jones,
of Rowan, moved a reconsideration of the vote
by which the Convention refused to refer the
resolutions to a select Commit let
The motion prevailed aud the resolutions were
reierred.
Tbe Prjusident appointed the following Com
mittee, via : Messrs. Polk, McDonald, of Moore,
N. A. McLean, McGehss, Bojden, Buxton and
Winston. .
The Convention then adjourned until ten
O'clock on Monday next. , , ,
Honore to the Dead. "
,. On tbe 31st. ult., agreeably to pre-arrtnge-ment,
the sacred and tntichinir rercmonie inci-
dent-to th dressing and 13fal .hrnroeiit of
the grave of the Confederate dead that lie bu
ried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, were
carried into cfft-Ct, The papers of that city
contain extended and glowing account of the
exercises upon the occasion, la w hich it is snid
that between twenty sml thirty thousand per
sons, of both scxe, participated. The Whig
ays s .. ', - '".,'1, v -. K
"It was not only a holiday," bnt a day of sin
cere heart-exercises: The day was devoted to
but one object that of honoring the dead.
Every other purpose, "every "other ' thought
seemed to be excluded from the mind. Old
and young of both sexes gave themselves up to
thi one single sacred object. The stores were
all closed, and private husincsa of all kinds:
wa uspended. : At n ewl.V hour tbe street
wre ( h rtjngetl, and .pxeparallioiia -for . th&sukuio
festival were discerned in every quarter of the
town. A continuous stream of ladies, children
and men took, it conrse toward Hollywood,
and did'aot cease nntirthe shade of evening
began to gather. With singular good taste there
wa jo st organization enough to secure order
and decorum, without interfering with the pri-
rau wisues anu. leenngs 01 ine people. All
useless and irksome ccivmoniee srere dispensed
with. Thoee who engAgeT. in the olVrvancea
were left pretty much free to do as tuy pre-
rerrea. tne tiny was appropriately, quietly,
reverently spent nndr .the sj Ivan shade. b

. Every garden in and adjacent to the -cif y, eve
ry bush on which grew a Cower or an evergreen,
wa made tributary t the grueral demand. It
was one great May festival in honir of the
dead. We are plea'aed to be gabled to say
that the occasion passed oil without any un
pleasant accompaniments. The details are giv
