The Senate bill xes the 21st of February aa the day of the election for delegates to the Convention, and the Ioaae bill fixes tho 28th February as the day for the election. - The bill passed the HJaae ayes SC ; noes 27 and the Senate ayes 37, rioea 9.'- We sup pose that the day for th election of delegates will b settled by a Committee of Confer ence1 between the two branches of the Gene ral Assembly. Both of these bills submits the question of ConTeniiou or no "Contention to the people on he same day that they are to TOte for delegates. The House bill pro hibits the CbnTention from altering tho basis of representation j and the Senate bill con fines the Contention exclnaiTcly to the con sideration cf Federal Relation!, f The lloose bill leaves it entirely discre tionary with the Governor as to the lime of the assembling of the Contention after it shall be ascertained that a majority of the voters of the State bare decided in favor of a Convention, while tho Senate bill also leaves it wih tho Governor, but says that the Convention shall iuot be called earlier than the 11th of March. i Newborn Prorrrts, heretofore an anU-fleceesion paper, has eome 'oat for im mediate secession.

We know not what the peopli of North Carolina desire, and wish to learn tkeirl wishes. . If they desire a Convention, they should have the opportunity of saying at the polls w he th-; er ikey approve 'or duapprove the aetion of that Convention. .

WHY THE NORTH DOUBTS THE FIRM PURPOSE OF THE SOUTH TO 8ECURE AND MAINTAIN ITS RIGHTS. . . - . . i " . . W were rer j glad to hear Mr. Merrimon, in the coarse of his remtrks, on Wednesday, refer to a praetico of the DemoeraoUe party nhieh is aa misohievons a it is insalting. The praetiee to which we allude is this : For years it has been the habit of the Democracy of the South whenever their opponents pre sented a candidate for offieo to. charge him with infidelity and 'disloyalty to the Sooth. Thus we saw in turn, ; Gen. Harrison, Mr. Clay, Gen. Taylor, Mr. Fillmore, and most recently, Mr. . Bell, all held up either as abolitionists or sympathizers with abolition its. With the exception of Gen.. Harrison, who. was born and aid in a slaveholding State, and who was as true to the constitution al rights of the South as any man of his geno xali&n, and Mrv. Fillmore,' whose administra tion was seoond only to that of Washington, all these men were slaveholders. What was tho effect tf these calumnies and charges at the North ! Simply and obviously this. They taught the abolitionists to believe that their villainous and damnable cause had friends among' the slaveholders, and thus they were enoonraged to persevere in their i ffTTCtf rOJ5k'T design This is a notorious faet. STime and again the attentidi of the South ern Demaeraev. their rjreaaes and -their speakers, was called to tho mischief .they were doing by the lies told for tho most pal try party purposes, and yet they persevered. And even now. in this most momentous crisis of our country, whenever a gentleman de clines to vote for blood and thunder and to imitate the insane example of South Caro lina, b u at once taunted by the Fire-Eaters with being "a submissionist ' with being disloyal to the South. Such charges, are in sulting to gentlemen, and . mischievous in their effect on tho North, and a stop should be put to the praetiee. We, therefore, advise our friends to meet this tauntof submission whenever and wherever, and by whoever made, with the declaration that it is as egre gious and unmitigated: a falsehood as ever emanated from "the father of lies himself, and then let the ealamniator, If he chooses.! so to do, betake himself to his favorite di-U version of Fire-Katinj-.

M, Efm.j i Dkak bia If in my power I would go to your meeting, and into every neighborhood in evory State and Territory in this Union1. We are in a most perilous cri?i, hut one which tho country might yet paw without serious harm, if the hon cstmasses everywhere could at One bo reached andinade HennblAof iho grt danger that hangs over us. j j Whilst extreme Northern and jSouther-n noliti cians have been dividing and distracting the coun try, those who care nothing for offlco or political position, ami who have been laboring in tbo ag ricultural, mechanical and trading departments of the country. havn,undrtho blessing of Provi dence, made, u really all that we are. j This great majority and most worthy - portion of the citizens Jiave not had time to examine and satisfy their minds as to whithor we have been drifting by tho lund of sectional, selflshj ambitious menT If we can in time call into counsel those to whom wo are tnost indebted for our industrial and Intellectual attainments, and, in fact, for all our superior prosperity and greatness, the best government that ever fell to the lot of men mayi yet be presorvofl. ",vi ; All that is wanting is for the honest masses North, and South to be induced, without passion and with! their -cool heads, to understand the abstract inte of difference, and they will at once arm themselves; with tho fraternal spirit ot their Revolutionary! fathers, infuso the same into their political agon'.,! and again return to their fields, shops, stme, ships, and schools. .They are Uken by surprise; they axe scattered. They have, it is true to ronti'nd with trainoil bamls ; but there is ttme,and they will coma and settle these quarrels about trifles, if they can ia Inrtinor time and manner be appealed to. Ai ail Wbenwir government was tormea some ot lb States held slaves, so me did not. The Revolution-! ary fathers in the North were not too good to form a confederacy and then a government with slave owners and slave StaU. They provide-1 for the! rights of both ; and further, that rf slaves from their owners they should bo returned to them J They generously rccognixod the rights of the slave States. . For the sake of fraternity and peach, ami for the general welfare, they even voted to con-i tinne the African slave trade for twenty years) All that is needed now is to have again with our) people, of all sections, the independent and patriot-; ic spirit of our fathers. .Virginia gave up torrito4 ry, and agreed that free States should be formed out of it. (This has been done.) We now own territory in which all the State,' free and slavei are tenants in common. Shall not the slave States as such, have a share in this common territory T We are not thesamo people that were hern in the days of the Revolution, or there could ho no" difiU eulty in relation to this. The question is' too in significant to distract, divide and ruin thi coun. try. " I Tho free States now number eighteen j the slavri States only fifteen. The free States have majoril ties in both bouses of Congress, and these majorii ties soon to be increased. The free States hsvf the surplus populatirm to settle and make free States out of the Territories. The slave States havo nO surplus. Common sense ought to teach the people of the free States that the chances are all on their side. They very well know that if they were to grant all that the slave States request, the laws of climate, soil and productions will settle tho question at last ; that the result will be prei cisely the same nndor any of the theories about which the politicians of the two sections have each other so much by the ears. Our Northern friends say they are fully sensible of this, but they read to us what Jefferson and others havo said. They say they roly on political authority. ' 1 - It should be borne in mind that in the days whon Jefferson spoke we had no cotton gin. It had not then been discovered that slave labor was so useful in hot climates, in raising tobacco, rice, cotton and sugar cane. At that day they . were not worth more, and did not soil . for morn, : than horses.' They. were rather consumers hn producers. There was no anxiety to retain them. Now they are worth from six to fifteen hundred dollars each. Their labor is the source of more than two hundred millions of dollars annually to the national wealth. A new and powerful interest has sprung np. rJ udgine from what the fathers did when they or mod a Union with the slave States,; under the "then condition and circumstances, we hav aready answer as to what they would now do, were they, here, with Urn Territorial question, under existing circumstances. N fair minded man can doubt but they, if alive, w.mld say, "Let their Southern laveliolding brethren have- all the territory whkh they can fairly settle under tho invitations of ail, climate Mid productions. 'especial I r if it is unrWsLood that the buna fuU settlers, when they coma Ua roe on a State constitution, may fairly I determine the Question of alavorv for tbemsolvesj fijntbeir own way."

He fulber argued that coercion was impracticable, but thought tho laws sholud be! enforced wher ever civil process could be served. , lie : thought it imriossible to collect taxes or execute the laws where the whole people were opposed.

Mr. Mason said ha meant iio offense to the Senator, but had simply, commented upon his public Course. As for seeking I an excuse to irot out of the Union, it would be more difficult to excuse himself to his people for staying in under existing circumstances. He proceeded to say that the Union was already broken up, and that ooercion.was impracticable, and! that their only hope was in a reconstruction of. too government upon a durable basis, the amity ; and concord between the two sections of tha Union had been destroyed by the republican party!, , He wished to God the Senator from Pennsylvania would fur nish him withanexenso for staying in the Union, The question of peace or war 'rested - with the North. v.f . , j: : , ' Mr. Cameron said the South; had stricken down the interests of Pennsylvania, 'yet the latter had stood by tho South, and the Union. - If the South would tell her wrongs ;he would be willing to redress.

' Whxrkas, From the present alarming exigen cies of the times, andl the -fearful, threatening of the peace and prosperity' of our beloved Union, dearer to us than all things else, and more to be desired as our only hope of future national exis tence, in compliance with duty and obligations, which we in common with the entire Union should feel ourselves Under, to the many intoresU of a groat and glorious confederacy ; arid where as, a dissolution of the common bonds which h a ve held us 'togother as a great and prosperous people, for so many years, would defeat' all ;thoi nobler aims of tho founders of our government, and bring disaster and ruin npon-every portion of our glorious heritage, making us foal an anxiety for the perpetuation of the bonds by which we are held together as a union with ' na Constitutional guarantees. " Therefore, : ? v' r . f j . j l.i- Ktaomea, xn , wo, ma eiuaena or tfiia por tion of Iredell county, without distinction of par ty, feeling ourselves more prosperous and' happy, under toe preseni inan we oouiu oeunaer any otner form of Government, pledge oursolvea to stand by the Union, so long i as we can maintain our rights in the Union with peaco and harmoey, and we will doiend tne consututioa so long asm ben efiU extend to us, and that we will adhere to it so long as lis provisions are maintained and res poctod, no longer, -""-iv :. -.;; ; .

The Georgia delegation in Congress, vith tho exception of Hill and -Hardemani have signed a letter to bo- laid befofo the 'House, announcing their withdrawal from the further deliberations of that bodv. ! Wcndoll Philips, the Abolitionist, dolivorod a speech at Boston o? Sunday, . in which ho de nounced Senator Seward, declared himself for disunion, and expressed the hope that Sll the Slave States would leave the Union. ', His chief argument was that disunion was desirabln because it would abolish slavery. We learn from Springfield, Illinois, that Mr. j Kellogg, member of. Congress from that State. has arrived there on .a mission to the President elect, to obtain a definite and authorilativo an nouncement from Mr. Lincoln with regard to the compromiso propositions in Congress. On tho result of this mission, it is stated, will 'depend the future course of tho ifepublicans in Congress. A despatch from St. Louis expresses tho opinion that tho Republicans, with Mr. Lincoln's sanction, will propose tho holding of a i National Conven tion and the restoration of the Missouri line to California. .

A little two-and-a-half year old daughter ' f a Mrs.- - Metcalf, of St. Louis, lately fell through a loose; plank into a deep well, when the mother instantly jumped in, and held the child at arms length above tho water for' nearly Ian hour, calling' vainly for help. At last, taking off her shoes, with the assistance of a board !the heroic mother managed -to crawl near enough to the top to throw her child beyond the edge, of the weli, and then j extricated herself. The first words tho child spoke after the mother had caught it in the well were, "mother, don'k cry; we will got ou . yet." - ' XTOTICEU-AN AFFIDAVIT HAVING been made before uae, as' Clerk and Master ia Equity, for Wake county, by Henry B.
