We have never wit nessed any thing of theltjnd ; and, beyond a few taunts, coming from .sources unwor-J tby of notice, we do not believe it ha any existence. Tie complaint proceeds, gen erally, from that class of professed Uulou men who thought themselves entitled to All all the offices, bnt whom the people fulled to elect thereto. Upon the ieope who thus offended, ithuy are now ready to wreak vungeauoe, by representing them as a a . t disloyal, and as uuwortoy to associate m Congress' wltji the icopJe of the loyal Btntcs,p Ohio andJL'aunsylvanhv '; U the people, rntertatniug and, expressing the ' same cnftawuU and opiuio'ns wind they mow do, and acting an tliey now act, had v hut elected these men to office, they would be landed to the skW by thcin, as the most dutiful and loyal people in the Union, who arc as worthy to fraternise with the people ' of the loyal States an they were at any time previous to (he civil war. That the charges that Union men are persecuted merely for their Union sentiments are fab rications, ban recently been shown in sev end instances. ( hir readers will, no doubt, remember the petition puqiorting to come from certain persecuted Union nun .in Staunton, Vn., recently introduced into tJie Senate of the United States by Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, and which was mom recently withdrawn by him,' it being a for gery or a boas. Another case of a simi lar kind has recently eoine to light in this State. The Investigation was made by Judge Brook, whose evidence cannot be impeached by any Union in.iii. But we will give the facts In the case, from ' (lie ltalcigh Sentinel, The Sentinel says: "We have, within a few days paf, rnmcjoM landmarks, and a disttosition to over into possession of a fact, which illustrates tho whole matter, and exposes the unscru pulous character of these slanderers. Re cently, the President of the United .States wrote to Gov. Worth, stating that lie had received a petition signed by a large num ber of citiacns of Camden, praying for pro tection against tho persecution of which they wera the victims. The petition fur ther alleged that these same men were be ing prosecuted tn the Courts, and that it was impossible for tbom to secure justice. The President requested Gov. AVorth to institute an investigation into the matter, and to repot t the facts at Washington. Gov. Worth, accordingly, wrote to Judge Brooks and CL Ferebec, authorking thoae gentlemen to make full enquiry into the complaints of those individuals. The lat ter received the commission just as be was upon the eve of leaving for this City, and too late for action, but wrote to Judge Brooks, requesting him to make the re quired investigation. Judge Brooks, did so, promptly, fairly and thoroughly. Upon an inspection of the records of ' the courts of Camden county, he found that only two of the nnmber had been in any way before those courts and those two had been in dicted, the oneor larceny and the other for - fornication and adultery ! Now, as it is alleged by the Standard, and others, that such men aa these have , been prosecuted for acts committod during: the war, in the service of the country, and oecause they , were Lnion wen, we leave It to the world to judge whether the Govern ment employed them in any such acts as mose ior wmcu tne se creatures w ere con- :victd! . .:,..,........., As our old friend, Mr. Caldwell, of Burke, hag uttered some dismal jcremaids upon the floor of the Convontion upon the same geneal subject, we takh "the liberty of fall ing his attention to the facts in this case, as embodied in the report of Judge Brooks to the Governor We are sure that we need not illustrate the subject by comment of our own; r .

Bniifort, ' May 'SJat, 'itW Ycstesday the committee on Revisal of Constitution made their rejiort, w hich had been printed, and which, from the on slaught it then t nceived fhm sonie mem bers of the Convention, I iqcline to the opinion that two weekryrtwill be it quired to go through the work of this committee ; it will be taken up section by section. A dead halt was reached when the elerk read the 8th and !Hb sections of the declaration of Rights. Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford in troduced an amendment giving the Legis lature power to dispeuiwwtb trial by jury, m case or njisaj'meanors, ana ponier upon int of court the ttut to try soon onenses, i m gave nse to a spin tea discussion, participated in by Messrs. Cald well of Guilford, Moore, Boydm, Fhillh, and Coniknd, advocating the proposed ameailn ut, and opposed bj ilessrs. W'm- ion that a spirit of agrarianism, sometimes even insinuate itself into grave .political bodies. The proposition to clothe magis trates, out of court, with the summary pow er of acting on misdeiueancrs generally, la in the eyea of many who are opposed to rad icaliam in every form, a dangerou. Innova tion, fraught with incalculable mischief. Tho lawyer aar that the words misde meanor, comprehends a very large number of offenses some ot a High graae, ana 10 turn these all over to irresponsible and of tentimes Ignorant magistrates, would prove that political science waa but little consult ed by our grave Legislature. To Illustrate its practical workings suppose a man should commit au outrageous assault or ma licious mischief, or publish the most Infa mous libel, all he would hare to do,Vodld be to hunt up a magistrate who waa under the influence of the defendant,' and submit his case. ' Justice would become ourrsp-ed, these -courts wawLLbccotua .- tho - scouca where oftentimes innocence would, receive no protection, and guilty offenders could atone fug crime by the payment of a few dollars I am glad to say that your dis tinguished townsman, Hon. N. Boy den, hi his remarks, favors no such wholesale sur render of offences to those irresponsible Courts. He favors the establishment of a Court whore minor offences may be disposed of without the aid of a jury, provided it can be done constitutionally. Mr. Moore f tvors the same course. The great and only argument against trial bv jury for slight offences," as yet ad vanced, is that our Superior Courts have too much of their time taken up by such cases; that weightier matters have to lie excluded, &c. Now, it occurs to your corrcsondent that the error does not lie in jury trials, but tn our JUuViarv system. 1 wo Superior Courts a year will not an swer the purpose. Establish three; let one of these be a court of general jail de livery, where nothing but violations of the criminal law shall be entertained. (Jive to the County Courts the same jurisdiction thev have heretofore exercised, and we will hear but little morn about the " law's delav." Whenever there is a departure, from tlie ride lirinciples wrouched originally from the bauds of British monarch, and firmlv-. secured in Miiynn Vhurta, and made the organic law of evry courtry on earth where the common law prevails, it is time to stop and ask, Cui butifif ' And, unless the necessity r the change is very great, it is well enough to let well enough alone. Any system ot legislation which enables crime to be atoned for on a cheap lasis, will never operate to lessen its commission but on the other baud will encourage men, who! desire to gratify their bad passions, not to be deterred in their .purpose. Caldwell, of Guilford, introduced an or dinance prohibiting the State from borrow ing money at a greater rate of interest than s'x per ceutum; aa the recent Legislature repealed the penalty for Joking more than this per centage, aud authorized the legal ity of 8 per ceut. loans. I doubt the pro priety of Mr. C.'s ordinance. Human na ture prompts' every one to invest capital w here it will yield the largest return, and for the least expenditure of labor. .1 t Caldwell, of Burke, introduced an ordi nance - to extend the provisions of an act passed by the last Legislature, authorizing the Governor to furnish artificial limbs for Confederate soldiers from this State in the late war, to the soldiers from our State who lost their limbs in tho Union armies The Federal government has amply pro viuea, Dy oounties, pensions, land war rants, and " Palmer's artificial limbs," lor all of her own soldiers; and some of the "so called" I know of think it hard for a mother to expend her money upon a son who stabbed her to the heart. But moth ers are. proverbial for JWiveness; and I reckon the old lady will receive into her embraces her -undutiful offspring, as the "Rebels" used to call the North Carolinians " who wore the blue." .f ' Mr. Moore, of Wake, has introduced an ordinance to repeal the proviso of an act of the late legislature, excluding negro testimony in casea where the negro is in terested, until the Ureedraen's , Bureau is removed. The "nig hi A Bard Institution, but something must be done for him ; and, as we havetbe assurance of the Freed men's Bureau, and the President's promise, that when-negro testimony is received in our courts in cases where he ia in tested, that all pffenccS) by black and white, shall be turned over to the civil authorities, your correspondent inclines to the opinion that it is best to adopt Mr. Moore's amendment everybody knows the proclivity of.Sambo for prevarication.

' Tiiunsiut Krcxixo, -Miy 31st. The uiilinidhed business of yesterdav was reiiiined to-day, to witj.Jhe amend ment of Mr. Caldwell, ojf-fiHilford, to the lUli section of thn Bill of Rights, author izing the l'gisl.itun- to prencnlx' inmles of Itrmt, other than tnal by jury,, tor niwile--memtors. The debate took a w ide range. The real and avowed advocates of the aiiu-udiuciit revealed the kiad of tribunals they desire the Legislature to. create, be fore which all oueures included under the term misdemeanors limy lie tried. And your corrcsjtondciit'supposcs that w hen lie informs his readers that the proitositioii is to try such cases before magistrates out of court, that it w ill surprise them. I Ueir object is to make the administration of justice cheap, (hie of the opponents of the proposed amendment, said the amend ment ought to be entitled, "An amendment to article 9th of the Bill of Rights, so as to eucouragc misdemeanors, and to cnnble violators of the law to pervert the proper administration of justice." The debate w a of a very able and interesting diame ter, morn so limn any other which lias oc curred during the present session. Those who advocated the proposed amendment were Messrs. Phillips, Conigland, Jh'ek, Mehane, and Moore, and those w ho were opposed to any rhauge of the. article in question were Messrs. .Eaton, Winston, Walkup, aud McCorkle. 1 will not at tempt a synopsis of the sjeeches of these gentlemen, as injustice might unintention ally be done them. After the conclusio of Mr. Moore's speech, w hich was the hut made, he proposed as an amendment to the amendment of Mr. Caldwell, that the legis lature should be res tinted to conferring jurisdiction for the trial of misdemeanors only to the mainstrutes of incorporated tow ns. This will do very Well in large tow na; but if the amendment passes, every place w here there Is a blacksmith and grog shop will become incorporated ; and then- all men who have violatedjhe law will fly to the Mayor of the "big town," and have his case tried without the aid of the Pros ecutoir and officer of the law, heretofore appointed to see that no detriment befall the State. .Your correspondent thinks that the amendment , will rJbe passed, '. but the bouse adjourned without eoming to a voti, lis trust that the old landmark will ' be preserved, unless the most cogent reasons exist why such a radical change should be made. ''' '; Several resolutions and ordinances were introduced tondaybnt none, of a very. Im portant character. If every clause of the old Constitution is to be fought as the clawe I have referred to, when tlie mem bers of the Convention will return ' to the bosom of their constituents and there ren der an account of their, stewardship, no one can tcllr but your correspondent stu adheres to the opinion that two weeks will yet elapse before a final adjournment He will strive to keep your readers posted and will write a often as hi duties will permit him.

The Convention resumed the considera tion of the amended Constitution, the ques tion recurring ou the amendment offered by Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, to section 9, ar ticle 1st. of the Declaration of Rights. Mr. Moore, of ake, still approved the. end contemplated by the amendment, butjith experienced and efficient teachers, are had arrived at no satisfactory conclusion as to the terms in which the amendment should be made. He preferred the ques tion to lie passed over tor the present. Mr. Mebaue offered the following amend ment as a substitute for the amendment tending, vfz : 'The legislature may, how ever, provide other modes of trial, w ith the right of apiieal, for misdeflieanorS." ' Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, accepted the pnMsed substitute, and addressed the Con vention in its favor. Mr. Katon opposed the amendment in any shape. It proposed to allow the Gen eral Assembly to deprive citizens of the right of trial by jury in case of misdemean or. The term misdemeanors embraced a lanre class of offences, many of which are of the gravest character including all 1 known to the law, with the exception of! capital felonies : perjury, subordination of , urv', mayhem, assault with intent to ill or commit raite, bigamy, larceny, crani- ing, were all misdemeanors. How then should this jurisdiction (propom-d to be conferred on a single justice,) be defined or restricted f The term tr 'mal misdemean or was very vague was not susceptiblcof satisfactory definition. Mr. E. then ad verted to tho irresponsibility of tlte propos ed tribunals and their liability to be influ enced by improper considerations, to the prejudice of the poor aud friendless. Mr. Phillips said that the section pro posed to be amended guaranteed only a personal right, a right which, under the decision of the Supreme Court, a man could never waive. It secured the sacred right of obtaining expensive justice through, I cumbrous and complicated machinery. Ad' verting to the annoyance, delay and ex pense, consequently upon the existing law requiring trial by injur in all casea of mis demeanor, Mr. P. said that the Recorder of the city of London would dispose of more cases in a few moments than a coun ty court could in 'a year. If this rule of jury trial prevailed iiif hirg? com miinities, many cases would not be reached before the defendants died of old age, The amendment Wa still further dis cussed, Messrs. Dick, Brown, of Caswell, Conigland, Boyden and Moore, of Wake, supporting it, and Messrs. Eaton, Winston and McCorkle, opposing its adoption. The question recurring on the amend ment as amended, the following substitute was offered by Moore of Wake, viz : TTOv!de3,nev may be established and held in cities and incor porated towns, and at the Court Houses, in which may be tried, -without' the inter vention of grand and petit juries, as shall be prescribed by law, all misdemeanors ex cept such whereof the punishment mayjbe corporal, other than imprisonment, when ever the accused shall elect to be so tried. Provided, that in all cases where the party may be imprisoned or fined above fifty dol lars, may appeal to any Court having ju risdiction of the ease." Pending this amendment ac6mmnnica- tion was received from his Excellency, tlie Governor, relative to th Geological Sur vey, State title to certaht Jlwap4Lands, &c, which, on motion of Mr. Moore, of Wake,wa referred to a select committee. The Convention resumed the" unfinished business. The question rccurriner on the amend- raa-iMiloL to tbe amendment before pending, on motion tu Itr crcTocK. to-morrow.

The first thing exhibited was a splendid representation of a ' Fancy Ball;" after which a tall, fine looking youth possessing an intelligant countenance, came before the curtain and delivered a powerfully address in tavor ot " kmalk KdccaTioj". jAs the speaker retired, the curtain rose; and thence forward it continued to rise and fall throughout tho evening on a succession of orations, lectures, compositions, and tab leaux so - skillfully arranged, ornamented. managed, and acted, as to produce the im pression that. auunaUon had been infused into the paintings of the most successful artists. In the intervals between the tableau- exhibitions, which varied, from the inex pressibly eoraio to the most striking and sometimes solemn scenes, note would appear a young lady tastefully arrayed to read to the audience her composition on science or literature, morality or religion, folly or fashion, comedy or tragedy, abounding with beautiful fitnues rhetorically exnressed. and chaste as the dream of Diana ; and then a yo dclii oung gentleman would come forward to iver an oration, dignihcd, lotty, s grand, or perhaps a lecture gliding along iu a Tiui oi quiei, numor, or nansmg wiin sparkling wit, but pointed and instructive, iUustratme some principle in science. . or conveying wholesome admonition in morals Thus rapidly passed the trap until a very late hour in the night the tableau represen tations. orations, lectures, composition. having r mounted to nearly fifty differ' seemed to regret that the entertainment was over, Competent judges present confidently expressed the opinion that thewrtwo -insti tutions now present as strong claims to an extensive patronage as any other place of learning in this or any other Mate ; and that parents and mardians owe it to them' seves and, their sons and daughters, to make inquiry at the proper source before tbey overlook the educational facilities and other advantages now nfiered by 1 adkm Cous&e and Beatavila Seminary.
