every person of ordinary iiitelligence,with-
out relerenee to part' atliliations, concedes
that it needs to be uiaterially altered and
amended.'
The organic law of the State should be
so plain, precise, harmonious and logical
in ita form and terms as that the plainest
mind may understand it, and as to leave
as little n possible to inference and legis
la ive and judicial construction. It is in
tended and ought lo be the bulwark of
the pcopl-j's rights and liberties. To the
extent, that any of its provisions are left
to inference or constructions, to that ex
tent are the rigtts.of the people and often
their most valuable rights, left to the
whim and caprice of their Executive,
Judicial and Legis'ative officers moved
sometimes by the voice nnd influence ol
party xeul and strife, nt others, by corrupt
considerations, and yet others by ignor
ance and (stupidity.
Our present Constitution is flagrantly
liable to such oljcclions; it is loosej illog
ical, contradictory and absurd in many of
its most material provisions, so much so,
that a wise and learned lawyer lias said of
it upon his sworn opinion, that it "is a
medley of confusions and contradictions.

Hut in addition to the plain meaning of
the Constitution and the grand nrincinle

North (Carolina have, timo nf'ter time,
sanction d such a method of calling a

Tin-Constitution requires in one section
that the Legislature, shall provide by ade
quate taxation for the payment of the in
terest on the public debt and The" debt
itself, In another section it provides that
the capitation tax shall not exceed two
dollars on the head for State and county
purposes, and that the tar on three hun
dred dollars worth, of property shall tint
exceed tho tax on the bead. If these
satisfaction to nobody. This is not only
our experience, but it is the experience of
New York and other States where it pre
vails. It may be further said of it, that it is
corrupting n its tendencies to the llench,
the liar and the officers of Court. Under
it, much of the business is done privately
at chambers and in the clerk's office in.
the absence- of opposing panics and coun
acl tho amplest opportunity is afforded
for corrupting the Judges, tho offtcees ol
Court and counsel ; aud onr short experi
ence harmonizes with that in other Mates
under "the Code," and proves the truth
and force of this objection.
The township system in each county is
exceedingly ctunbersrnie and expensive,
and quite us complicated, ond gives rise
to great confusion and expensive litigation.
A great number Df officers aro necessary,
aud these must be paid reasonable com
pensation else the county machinery must
cease to work and thus give rise to inter
minable and intolerable confusion. This
svslera does not suit tho necessities and
wants of our people; it is not needed by
tlretiu. however tlUtWy

The provisions of the constitution in
reference to raising revenue and taxation
arcr in the w lost conflicting mid ronfuse d
condition. Already they have given rise
to the most serious and expensive litiga
tion, and will continue lo dtso if not
amended and reformed. Even the deci

are often unsatisfactory the judges dif

Our Constitution1' would not he what it is
now if our own people had fiaiued it. It
ia the haiidiwoik. in a great measure, ol
not only recognized the doctsiue above
mentioned, hut have acted upon it and
created precedents that have been acted
upon in most, if not all, the Slates oi the
Lnion.
It is sometimes said that in 1861 tbe
Legislature passed a similar Convention
net by a tuo-thirds vote nf the a hole
legislature but that was then done out
of abundant caution and not for the pur
pore of amending tbe Constitution, sud
was the only instance of s-ch action, and
such a' vote was then unnecessary
The. plan adopted ia manifestly in ac
cordance with every principle of the
Cons ti I ut ion and the doctrines of popular
government, that,, we can scarcely credit
the sincerity, of those of (hose wo sug
gest the contrary.
The act providing for calling a Conven
tion, wisely provides that if called, it shall
not have power to interfere with the
Homestead provision of the present Con
stitution, rror with tho political and civil
rights of the colored people, nor with the
provision for a mechanic's and labors's
lein. ;-.-.;..'.
This expression in ' favor of .the color
ed people, ought to satisfy them thai
iTieie fs no their light,'
but it may Leas well for theru to under
stand, if I hey do not, that I heir political
and civil rights are established by the
Constitution of the United Slates, and
the proposed Conventiou would have no
power to disturb them. ,
There can be no reasonable objection
to a laborer's lein he i entitled to it
upon every principle'1 of good govern

to expose every such refusal or neglect of
duty. We are confident that the Courts
and prosecuting officers have not made
any active or reasonable effort toaster
tain secret offendera. Let them doaUt
their diligence: aud where they are in
competent, let special once be employed.
Notwithstanding the clamor raised nst
before the last election, and the preteud

6th. The right of privately interpreting
any articlo of the Church's Creed, with
tho design of giving in any other con
struction than is put upon it by the ac
knowledged standards of our Church is
denied, as subversive of a common faith
nnd as productive of strife and schism.
Therefore, every minister must stand
pledged to believe and teach tho doctrines
contained in our symbols according to
tbeir uniform inrerpretation.

9th. It is admitted that the Word
should be preached, (2d Timothy IV, 2,)
and that the Holy Spirit alone renders it
effectual ; but it is denied that His divine
influences are ever subject to tbe human
will (John i, 8). By this, however, we
do not intend to teach that the operations
of the Holy Spirit upon tbe human heart,
may not be resisted to the destruction of
the soul.
10th. In regard to the mode of conduct
ing public Worship, liberty of conscience
should not be luteifcrred with, but there
should be as much uniformity as possible,
which implies adhesiou to genuine Luthe
ran usages.
11 ih As tbe religion of tho Gospel is
something that addresses both the under'
standing and the heart, Catechetical in
struct ion is, without doubt, a wise and
judicious provision of the Church, for
enlighteuing the former and exciting the
affections ot the latter, and therefore, un
der ordinary circumstances, should bo
strictly adhered to in reference to candi
dates for Church membership. We,
therefore, disapprove of the adoption, of
any measure that necessarily tends to its
abolishment or that may be considered in
its nature a substitute.
12th. A niform system' of Church
Discipline should be adopted and enforc

An exchange says : "The worst joko
that was ever perpetrated on scientific
men took place recently at Louisiana,
Mo. A man was sick with rheumatism,
or something, and a fellow went around
to the doctors and professors and things,
and told them that it was the queerest
case on record. - He said the man had no
feeling, You could slick pins in his body
all over, and he paid no attention to them
at all. He was perfectly dumb. So the
doctors - got together- aud called on tho. .
sick man to experiment. All arrived with -pins
and needier And bodkins. The man
was asleep Ittd they got around IiT7Ind!
each one stuck his pin In the patient- r
The sick man rolled over and looked at
the crowd, and thought they bad come to
dissect him, so he took a chair in ona
hand and a bed-post in the other, aud
drove the crowd thence. They are around)
with iheir heads tied np, looking for tho
man who said that sick man had no feel.
