purpose, .is sd.;clear '"and 'sb 1 precise
againsf ally such Cojiveni vis we have
had, as to put the' pbiu bteyond doubt
or argument, as it se0ms to me. ' Two
niodesof amending i he Constitution are
provided: One through the agency of
the General Assembly,1 proposing an
amendment for , Tutifiaitioi y a vote
of the people,, ,wJi)ph lieetV not be con
sjidpred 'liere the other.. by a Conven-

wordsarej , r'f 'No , j C6hyent4on of , the
IMjople sliall j be called ; Jy the General
Assembly unless "by the concurrence of
two-thirds of all. Ujo, members of each
House, of the General Assembly." In
either case the regularly constituted au
thority of the organized government is
iequirep! to initiate' an Alteration of the
goverbnient which 'ttW no c&Aibt, upon
the souild principle -iam aown m ine
in' 'order-ti avoid
rWiiinlftr commotions: 'revolutions, and
uncertainty as to what is the Constitu
tlort.' 4 Iij then; the two modes designa
ted ate the1 only ones by which the Cons
titution can be altered It is bleat that
this'hwt'goaHed Oonvetitionwas
not.a CbiistUufional iXbnveiition, ,and
therefore its acts are void. j .
- 'Yielding then, . that : Mr. Johnson's
and Holdens .Convention might,
hv T)oniilar' anouiescence. adoot for us
the measures demanded by. thehi, yet
ii nau no existence a-a vAmveiiuoii ui
the people of North Carblina under the
Constitution, and could. not i therefore,
alter that instrument in i any ()f these
poiilts which atfect; our internal organi
zation as ni-distinctri lleonblican State:
for example,the basis of representation,!
the quahheations of ' the vRepresenta-
tives, and of voters ; ;,the pumber and!
jurisdictioh of Courts! the appbintmentJ
of the Judsres thereof ; the tenure of
their office and that of .the executive,
or the like.i iVo disquisition can render
these 'points-clearer than the short and
simple pdratrraph of the Constitution it
self. The conclusion can only be evad
ed by establishing asthetrthyMrt the
clause of the ' Constitution was no . longer
in force, and that position cannot be
true, unless it be alsq aomitted, that no
other part of it was in foree, or, in other
words, that by . virtue of , the war and
its result we were a people without
Constitution or law of any sort. It
necessarily comes to - that, and that
never tnight to be', arid1 never can be.
yielded. , .Perhaps it would be sufficient
A. ''". J . J
ior our present purposes, to say, mat,
even ypur Conyention .does. . not ? assort
such a doctrine, out plainly procoMs
u uon a contrary one, by ' professing to
"ambnd" our oM Constitution; as still
subsisting, and hot to make one; tibori-
