ADDRESS OF THE Central Executive Committee. r., 'J.t I'eople of Xorth Carolina : The Executive Committee of the Dera r it:c Conservative party of this State, : r o 'u-iUitatioa amonjr themselves and V: !i nKinv frieuch frnni different parts of rs.itf. familiar with public sentiment, lV.- .kuned it neees-ary anl proper tliat Centra! Executive Committee shall . : !.- ?j th-r people in reference to various . ; p;cs "f public interest, and particularly constitutional reform in this State. The Central Committee, therefore, feel espe cia'ly called upon and instructed to sub :i:t ti the pe;p!c such views and to sag-. . uch measures ol reform and relief as. . n ;i,cir judgment, are calculated to pr- i.jte concert or action and the general re of the State. TUE CONVENTION ELECTION. T..e result of the election in August although advei-se to the call of a .LTition of die pe. ;,!e, cannot he re 1 as an expression f popular appro :; rt" m-ny of the leading provisions of - .l pn-sent State cnstitntion Tor all par- with scarcely any dissent, reco. nized : i conceded the paramount necessity for i . h i::irein the organic law in several : . : -j r i 1 particular. .Vor cm the result of that election be . r;:ptrly claimed as a party success r de u. The isiiie submitted ' and passed i u wasnt a pirty iss'ie, although great rs were made by interested persons to . tke it such nur was it so regarded or by thou-ands of democrats and ;.ierv.itivcs who voted against t-Coa .nt:on." That election turned on coMa rii jir.i.1 immeterial issues, most cf them - :tted anl pressed urn public atten- .a by the great body of the office hold :r the State, who apprehended that a .-, vent i n if called would turn them : .f o-Scc. The office-holders of the -'at e generally opposed the call; they i'.!y used money and other appliances to k teitt it. Tue colored people were made iNely to I'dievc that a convention would L prive i hem of their freedom, orgrea.ly i bridge their .political rights. Thousands voted atrainst the call because th'ey feared .nrmetl interference ot the authorities .f ;!ie federal government and another war .her thousands voted agiinst it, because hey apprehended some unlriendly inter-tri-nee Aith the present homestead pro- -i-i n, while some believed the call as uj le was without the sanction ot the nstitution and revolutionary ; so that, we . peat, tae elefction turned, not in favor ol ..: against any.poIi.icaJ partv, nor upon i. real merits of the issue submitted to I t..f people, but upon many collateral con- j .-: ie.ati. ns. " j METHOD OF AMENDMENT SETTLED. rue majority against the proposed call : i Convention, though comparatively '.i-rc. settles adversely the proposition ;-rn 1 the Constitution by a Convention : .e people, howeverroper and desira t that method of amendment may be. .': ;::!8 it, because the radica members : ilie Legislature, at the behest of their rty, unanimously refused to vote for the i!! ft a Convention of the people by the I.- .'islature. Such a call cannot be made without the rotes of at least a few of them, qI they and their party thus assume the :;.ive responsibility of preventing the peo pi- friu amendi ng and reforming their cyanic law. The only remaining method of amend the Constitution is by legidatite enact r..ent. Although the Constitution operates rprosively in many respects, and some of ::'s provisions preclude air hope of general prosperity while they continue in force, j.ct it is manifestly the duty ol every good Vitizen to -seek relief from 6uch evil by lie legislative mode, however slow and un -itialactory. in the present emergency, it .uay be. We venture to hope that the members ot the Legislature will, when they assemble, at once agree upon this plan of relief, and we respcctlul'y. suggest that, in the meantime, the people give ; roipt aud free expression of their wishes as to tuch amendments as they desire, so that the Legislature may be informed of the popular will, a3 well as may lc, in Terence to constitutional reform. !l MATERIA!., INDCSTBIAL, XSD EDUCA TIONAL INTERESTS OPPRESSED. That the material, industrial and edu ational interests ot the State are in a ca lamitous condition is manifest to the com monest observer. There is now a direful incubus upon the state that deadens the energies ot the people and destroys all .aoonable hope ot future prosperity. C.try man has the distressing eease that be labors and toils in vain ! These evils arc not oin; to any lack ot l-'.-iu-try and persistent cflort on the part ci the people. Ever since the late war :hev have walked assiduously, and thou viuds have labored who never labored be t'.re. They have lived -economically. The soil has generally yielded good crops nd lair prices have ben realized tor them. But their earnings arer gone ! Where are they ? Their "desolated farms ;re not restored. The waste places are nt I mit up. The greater number of the towns and villages are a decayed a3 at the ch.be of the war ; many of them are in a v rs condition. The destroyed, manir iivtones, with but fev exceptions, have "ot !evn reluilt. And where, we repeat, the earn.ng3 ot our impoverished peo-. e ? They are vwallowed ap in oppres--ve taxation, to support a system ot 6tate ovtrnment essentially expensive,, and a ii al extravagance without a paral.el a the his;ory of a free people, 21KDESSOME TAXATION PUBLIC EXTRA V AOANCE. Dunne the first two vears under the present Constitution, $1,807,580 were col !:td irorn the people, and every dollar rt thu vast sum was expended in the ad ministration ot the State government average of over fSOO.OOO a year! about ten times what it coet to admbais t r the government before the war I. There belonged to the School Fund, derived lr m the Land Scrip donated by the -Hltet StltM (hrf mm nt HflOfWl T1 :cm inu$Ud mostly in "special tax bonJs and th fund U r!rnl!v These monstrous evils are die legitimate 'U of the workings of the present Con iiuuoa and radical misrule under it. pf'-sent organization fastens on the Pple system of government wscctiallv - " " J cxtravagant the township system alone making necessary about three thousand officers at an annual expense of from 300,000 to 400,000. It establishes a public debt amounting to $40,000,000, half of which is confessedly dishonest and fraudulent and which the people nre -unable to pay. MISRULE, FRAUD, FORCE AND THE SWORD. Under this organic lirw. the people are subjected to an intolerable misrule at the hands of the radical party. By means of notorious Iraun. force and the sword, that party had absolute control of the Convcn tion that framed the present Constitution, and like control of the .first Legislature that assembled under it; and although the people were impoverished, this radical Convention and Legislature increased the public debt from $20,000,000 to near $40, 000,000 in less than eighteen months. Of this 20,000.000. lss than $500,000 have gone into the public works or tq the benefit of the pcoplw- This p.irty jslact in fiff! a Governor who absolutely suspended the Constitution and laws of the State ; he ar rested scores of innocent citizens without warrant or any authority of law ; he sus pended the writ ot habeas corpus and defied the Chief Justice of the State ; he made his warrant from time to time on the Treasurer for large sums of money with out the sanction of law ; he raised a law less and mercenary horde ot desperadoes and armed them at the public expense to execute his despotic will. This party elected to the State Convention and the Legislature scores of men notorious for their ignorance, licentiousness, dishonesty and corruption, who, at the behests ot thtir party and knavish speculators, in creased the public debt to the enormous sum a'rcidy stated. This party degraded and disgraced the Judiciary by erecting to hiyh judicial stations men shamefully ignorant and cor-upi, and others who have not scrupled to manifest the most .b!aant part zm feelings w hile holding their offices. This party have ruined the credit of the State they have blasted the hopes and prosperity Of the' people in the most shameless and defiant manner they have made every department of the piv ernment a by -word and reproach. To es tablish the truth of these chaiges we need but point to the history of the State lor the last three years and appeal to the ob -serration of every intelligent citizen. THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION . Ti.is Constitution and this party, with a radical, r ckless and cxtr-tvagant admin istration ot the Federal Government, make up the manifest causes of the suf ferings, poverty and ruin that crush the people of the State. The Radical party have brought upon us all these evils, and there is no relief from them but through salutary changes ot the , Constitution, and a change of our present rulers for others who shall le capable, honest, wise and pa triotic. The present constitution is loose, illogi cal, contradictory and absurd in many of its provisions, aud it were well it it could le entirely rewritten: but this is not practicable by the legislative uuxle ot amendment. Aciiou will be expedited by amending it in a few very important par ticular?, tor the present, and leaving gen eral amendment to a future time. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS SUGGE8TED. In the judgmenfof the Executive Com mittee, ttie Constitution should at once be al ended in the following pfrticulars : Section G of Article 1 should be so amended as to strike out all thereof that provides the inviolability of tfo -public dtlt. ' Section 2 of Article 2 should be so amended as t provide that the Legisla ture shall meet regularly every two years, instead of every year, and it should be provided that the members of the Legis lature shall receive but $3 per day and 10 cents mileage, and such pay for no lon ger a period than 100 days during their terra of office. The office of Superintendent of Public Works should be abolished. Article 3, Section 1, should bo so amend ed as the Governor and other officers, therein mentioned, shall hold their offices but tico y&irs, instead of tour years, as now provided. Section 10 ot Article 3 should be so mended as to provide that the Governor shall nominate the officers therein men tioned, by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate, unless otherwise pro vided by law. Article 4 should be so amended as to strike out sections 2 and 3, thus abolishing the Code Commission. Section 4, ot this article should be strick en out, leaving the Legislature to regu late the number and style of Courts. In stead of five Supreme Court Judges, and twelve Superior Court Judges, as now provided, there should be but three Su preme Court and eight Superior Court Judges, who shall be elected every eight years. Sections 11. 12, 13. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 26, 27, ?3. 31 and 33 of article 4 should le stricken rut and it should be provided that the judicial pow ere of the state shall be rested in one Su preme Court and in such Superior Courts and inferior Courts as the General Asscm blv may establish. Section 4 of article 5 should be stricken out, thus striking out the mortgage provi sion on all the property of the State for the interest of the public debt. Section C of article 5, should be so amended as to enlarge the class ot exemp tions so as to include " stck and provi sions." Article 6, section 3, -should be so amended as to provide that the persons therein rendered ineligible for office shall likewise be rendered incompetent to rote. Article 7 should be abolished, except section 13, tuns sweeping away the Town thp system and leaving the matter to the Legislature. Article 10 should be so amended as to provide that the Homestead provisions should apply to all debts alike, nd it should be in fee that is absolute. Article 11, section 10, should be so amended "as to provide that its benefits shall extend only to indigent persons. Article 14, section 7, should be so amended as to provide that no person shall hold any lucrative office under this State while beholds an office under the United States. Sec. 5 of Art. 2 should be so amended as to abolish the pro vision lor ' taking a census of the State in 1573, and every ten years thereafter. We would suggest as a further amend ment, that Sec 5 of Art, 9 be eo amended as to provide that the University shall Ie under the control of the General Assembly, who shall elect a Board ot Trustees, of wincn the Governor shall be ex officio Chatrman, and Sections 13 and 14 ot that Article should be stricken out. Other amendments ought to be made, but those suggested would relieve the people from the burdensome and extrara gant State government that now swallows up their earnings, and fastens uoon them a State debt which they cannot pay, but of wnicn tuey may easily so compromise and adjust the honest portion, as will reduce it within manageable limits. CRIME AND OUTRAGE. We deem it worth while to notice in this address, that wicked and interested per sons unprincipled and violent radical panizans in ana out ot thi: - lor sinister purposes, have sought to produce the false impression that the Democratic Conservative party have and do connive at and encourage the perpetration of crime and outrage. To this detestable end they have, wherever they could, nrfatiwni u and resorted to every means, within their power. Such imputation is not only groundless, false and scandalous, but in famous to the last degree, and, betrays a spirit of wickedness, we-venture to assert, without a parallel in political warfare. The party which we represent has al ways and persistently condemned crime, by whomsoever perpetrated, and has re peatedly gone out ot the usual political course to denounce it, and urge upon the people the high importance ot peace and good order, and the duty of every good citizen to be active and zealous in bring ing- offenders to justice. The course pursued by the unworthy persons to whom we rtter is deeply to be deplored by all good men of every politi cal party. It is not only ignoble, but it tends to destroy the moral and legitimate effect of the voice of the press, legislative action and judicial determination, for the suppression ot crime their constant ef fort is to turn such matters to political advantage by giving them a political turn, and thus they produce the almost inevi table conviction on the minds t disinter ested observers that the purpose of the press, the Legislature and Courts, is not to suppress crime and outrage, but to manufacture political capital and advan tage from the crimes of offenders, and thus engender bitter feelings among their op ponents, destroy confidence in the Courts and bring them into disgrace and con tempt. We again urge our friends to set their faces against violence and lawlessness of all kinds, and to be especially active in preventing secret outrages by disguised persons. NATIONAL POLITICS. It is to be regretted that the peoj!e of this State have failed to take any very ac tive interest in national politics since the close of the late war. In our judgment this is unwise. Our people are of the Un'on it is our government and to it we must look, as we have the right, for sup port and protection in our rights of life, liberty and property, at home and abroad vrx. ww it tll.g..BOO anil cappnrt. nrwl it ! a patriotic duty to yield these it is as much our duty to join our fellow-countrymen in shaping and controlling the policy and destiny ot thjs great common national government. We have all the rights that any of the American people have, and we are laise to the country and ourselves if we fail to recognize, exercise and act upon them. Tlie people. have rights; let them exercise them firmly and respectfully, and w hen need be, assert them as freemen and American citizens in the councils of the nation, in political assemblages, and every w here. If we consent to be dwarfed and ignored nationally, then indeed, we may expect to be for all time to come. CORRUPTION, EXTRA VAGAXCE AND USURPA TION. Oar common country is subject to grievons political evils to which the com pass of this address will allow us toad vert very briefly. Official corruption in high and low places;, public extravagance; usurpation of great powers not conferred, but denied and prohibited by the Constitution ; high and oppressive tariffs which foster im mense monopolies ; the direct encourage; ment and support of monopolies; prosti tution of official patronage to promote party ascendancy ; a system of taxation which brings into active service in the in terests of the party in power, hordes of Internal Revenue officers who oppress, plunder and outrage the people of the na tion, and under which large surplus sums ot money are raised that ought to remain in the pockets of the people; a general system of espionage ; a suspension of the liberties ot the people upon the slightest pretext, in express violation of the Con stitution : armed military interference with the freedom of elections; a general system ot official bribery and party favoritism in every department, and the administration of the affairs of the government, are public national evils, the enormity, extent and danger of which can scarcely be measured or appreciated by the people subject to them. That these evils do exist is man ifest to everybody. The dearest, highest interests of a free people demand that they shall not close their eyes to such dangers too long lest the time shall come when they will find their form of government changed in name as well ns in tact, and their liberties lost. source of public kvils the "higher law" of thk rzpuclicah pahtt. Most if not all these evils, are attributa ble to the "Radical or Republican party of the nation. to its doctrines, policy and practices. It is essentially a party inimi cal and dangerous to the constitution and public and personal liberty. It is founded upon the despotic dogma that there is a "higher late" than the constitution ; it is emphatically and essentially a . "higher law" party. This dogma is its life and soul, and it proceeds on the jesuitical max im, that "the end justifies the means." Ilencc it is, the head of this party, the president, does not hesitate to send the army to New York and elsewhere at the North, to this State, Texas and ail over the South, in violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution, to control the elections and prepare the way for his and his party's continued ascendancy, and his own election. Hence, too, we find him for like purposes suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in a time of profound peace, arresting the citizen with out warrant or lawful authority, but only by lawless force. FJence, too, we find this party in Congress avowedly, and m . the - most riotous nann'er, passing law at 'one time to oast the juris diction of the Supreme Court of the Union to prevent that reat rnbunii from declaring its ac and assaults on the Constitution unconsi utional and void, at another -time pasng a similar law to 44 pack" that Court w h partizan to-alter a solemn decision airidj made," but dis tasteful to this ihigh4laww party. Ilencc, too, hundreds ot othr similar acts done by this party which iastrate the princi ples, policy and practies which we have attributed to it, and vdeh if not arrested and suppressed, must i iutt in the absolute overthrow of the sysMn of government formed and handed tl ?n to us by Wash ington and his compa iota. That such a party has been allowfl to spring op on American soil is monst u3 and alarming ! ZHE NATIONAL DEMO tATIC VK&TS TUX ONLY OTIIET PAKTT. ; ' - ' There is but one oper great political party in the country nat is the National Democratic party. In for judgment, it is the patriotic duty of evi'j l?trerj5f liberty fpniiiitiit tiO-oper8tr,-hh; that great and patretfer-paityHo arrest the tremendous evils to which we have ad verted, and which will, sooier or later, it not suppressed, destroy freedun , and es tablish despotism and the sword POLITICAL DUTY OF ALL PATIIOTS. To accomplish this great meaiure of re form in our State and Nationil Govern ments, wc cordially invite the jealous co operation of every patriot, witluut regard to his hitherto party affiliations. Wc staLd in determined opposition to the crimes and evils to which we lave briefly directed public attention, and we ask all good people to stand with jts, trusting that such common patriotic efftrt, through the blessing of God, may save ts and our country from impending dangff and ruin.
