action of the Convention, what is
the necessity of calling a Conven

islature proceed to do the work of a
Convention ? But there is no such
power given the Legislature by the
Constitution.

bind the action of a succeeding one :
surely then no Legislature can re

In, ortler, in some measure, to
allay alarm, the North Carolina
Legislature provided in the Bill
callinir this Convention, that it
should not change, or even consider
certain provisions in the present
Constitution, and the delegates to
be elected are required to take an
oath not to consider them. But
the question arises, in the first
place, whether a Legislature can
restrict a Convention of the people,
called in accordance with the exist
ing Constitution of a State. It is not
pretended that the present Consti
tution either expressly or by impli
cation, confers such power on the
Legislature. The validity of the
restrictions is expected only from
the requirement of the oath requir
ed to be taken by the delegates,
preliminary to organizing the Con
vention. There being no authority
to restrict directly, whence comes
the authority to do so by imposing
the oath ? What right has a Legis
lature to require any oath, much
less a restrictive one, from the
chosen agents, to whom the
people have delegated the sov
ereign and supreme authority of the
State? If the Legislature may
substitute its will for that of such a
Convention, by imposing restric
tions not to do certain things, why
not as well by directing certain
other things to be done, and by re
quiring of the delegates a prelim
inary oath to do them? If this
may be done as to certain things, it
may be done as to all, and tho Con
vention be made only an idle cere
mony or form, through which the
Legislature may amend the Consti
tution of the State. It Is well set
tled that one Legislature cannot re
strict or bind a succeeding Legisla
ture. It may bo that u Convention
might be restricted by submitting
to the popular vote the proposition
to call it for the purpose of consider
ing only certain subjects, distinctly
set forth, and none others. In that
ease, it might be held that the peo
ple had limited the powers delegat
ed to their representativesthat
such a Convention was clothed with
the Act, proposed to the people a
Convention, with powers, restric
tions and limitations set forth in
the act. It was, as it came from the
Legislature, no more than a propo
sition or a recommendation. The
proposition having been sanctioned,
it became an act of the people."
In the present attitude of affairs
consider. The Southern leaders
have already considered it, fully
and -maturely. They hope much
from divisions in the North. Such
hope emboldened them to secession
in 1SG1. But, in any event, they
are prepared, to risk the chances of
bafilingor resisting even the milita
ry, power of the Northern States, if
in the South, there is no reason to "P " l" 111 na
tion or me assumpnon oi ine
believe that the pretended restric
tions will be regarded at all by the
anti-reconst.uction leaders. They
will not allow their purposes to be
impeded by trammels of such ques
tionable validity. Recent ev
in Louisiana and Arkansas admon
ish us, that they would not hesitate
at measures much more revolution
ary lhan disregarding Legislative
retrictions upon a Convention of
the people to amend their Consti
tution. And, besides, by what
Southern States to manage the " ne
gro question" to suit themselves.
The consequences of this impend
ing conflict may appear alarming.

whites who have advocated the
reconstruction policy. To many

compelled, and what remedy is
there, should they be disobeyed?
Already the Democratic press in
North Carolina is denouncing the
restrictions as of no avail, and as
degrading and disgraceful to the
people of the State. One of the
proposed restrictions is this: 41 Nor
shall said Convention adopt or pro
pose any plan, or amendment, or
scheme of compensation to the
owners of emancipated slaves."
To persons accustomed to act with
meaning instead of pretence, the
4th Section of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States would seem to be
a sufficient guaranty on this point.
One or two extracts from leading
Democratic papers in the State suf
fice to show how tlnse restrictions
are likely to be regarded by the
anti-reconstructionists, when thej
come to organize the Convention.
The Charlotte Democrat holds the
following language :

The Carolina Watchman t (Salis
bury,) holds the following:
"It is admitted on all hands that
To those kadersit presents nothing
worse than their present humilia
tion from wounded pride, from pov
erty, from the restlessness of hopeless
ambition, and from the elevation of
their former slaves to full civil and
political equality with themselves,
and tofreecompetitionwith them for
property, for professional and busi
ness pursuits, and for all the emol
uments, authority and honors of of
ficial station. To the more sober
mindedaud thoughtful, both North
and South, it is the opening up of
new calamities, the dreaded collis
ion of race with race, bloody con
flicts, general disorder, and danger
to liberty itself.
It may be worth while to enquire
whether all Jias been done that
might have been to avert this pres
ent turn of affairs, and'to provide
against the dangers 'of tltTs! second
phase of - reconstruction, ' whieli
thinking - men have, at no time,
ceased to anticipate; -There has
been a just and natural aversion to
extreme and harsh measures of le
gislation under the Fourteenth and
ing the rebellion, from which the
secession leaders took c urage, and
were deceived to their ruin.
Manifestly, the reconstruction
policy could be assured of success
only in one of two ways : Eitherhy
the full and rigid exercise of the
federal power, mil'.tary and other
wise ; or, by establishing and main
taining among the white people of
the South a public sentiment which
might induce their co-operation
with the National Republican party
in its policy of reconstruction. The
latter was the more likely of suc
cess, and, in all rtspects, the more
desirable, especially for the recon
structed States. The colored people
of the South would naturally ally
themselves with the Republican
party, but it must.be almost entire
ly through white Republicans that
popular sentiment could be influ
enced in the direction desired. In
North Carolina, at any rate, many
of the most intelligent and well
known of the old slave-holders, and
native leaders, before the war, un
dertook this most difficult and un
inviting task. The same occurred,
to greater or less extent, in all the
Southern States. The un favorable
and embarrassing circumstances of
their undertaking, it was supposed,
would suggest to Northern Repub
licans the policy of sustaining them
by more than ordinary recognition
and encouragement. The attempts
of the secession leaders to degrade
them on account of their political
affiliations, might have been met
by notable favors and honors from
the National Administration. This
would have strengthened their in
fluence, while it offered some in
ducement to tne aspiring young
men of the South 'to join in the
work, to turn their backs on old
prejudices, and to adopt advanced
and liberal views, more in keeping
with the changed condition o
Southern affairs. The circumstances
so unpleasant and trying to South
ern white Republicans, at home,
had need of some compensating fa
vor elsewhere, to invite accessions,
stimulate exertion, and encourage
the acceptance of anti-sectional
views. But their numbers have
not increased, nor do they feel en
couraged by a review of the last
six years; The tone of sentiment
in regard to reconstruction has not
improved. There has been little
success in winning the Southern
mind from local prejudices, or from
the hatreds and animosities engen
dered by the civil war and its re
sults. It would seem that the Na
tional Government must bo put to
the alternative, in the near future,
of either abandoning its policy of
reconstruction or of enforcing it by
the direct application of coercive
power.
! It is still possible for the people
of North Carolina to set back this
dangerous issue. They may elect to
the Convention a majority of dele
gates opposed to the anti-reconstruction
programme. The Repub
lican party in that State has much
strength, numbering among its
members over forty thousand native
whites manv of them men of the
first character and standing. Under
all discouragements, they still man
ifest some spirit and resolution.
Should they succeed in controlling
this Convention, it will not only
save their own State from threaten
ed strife and collision with the
United States, but will tend to de
ter others. However it may turn
out, for the present, tho "negro
question " is still, as it has been for
near half a century, overshadowing
the peace of the nation, and chal
lenging the paipful consideration of
all who love American liberty and
hope to transmit it unimpaired to
posterity.

fully commended to the prayerful

A few years since soino roguhdi
boys in a town not a thousand miles
distant from the capital of , New
Hampshire, persuaded Joseph N ,
or, ns he was generally called, Joe,
to attend Sunday School. Joe was
an overgrown, half-witted, profane

propounded were given , so readily
and correctly, that no one could for
a moment' suppose that he was not

Joe was duly ushered in, and
placed on a settee in front of the

seated behind, inserted a pin"Tnto

in ah elevated tone, at the same

"That is correct," replied the
teacher; "but it Is not necessary

Joe. was again seated, and the
catechism proceeded.
"Who died to save tho world?"
The pin was- again inserted, and
Joe replied :
"Jesus Christ !" in a still louder
voice, rising, as before, from his
seat.
"That is also correct, but do be
more composed and reserved in
your manner," said the teacher, in
an expostulating tone.
fter Joe had calmed down, the
examination went on.
"What will bo the final doom of
