- 2d. In seizing it without a warrant.
3d. Iu seizing it without an oath or af
firmation. 4th In seizing it not for public use.
dth. In seizing it without just ooiupen
saslion. In iba very messaga of Gov. Drowft
which Mr. Stephens Was defending, the
Governor was calling upon the Legislature
to grant him still mors power and authori
it. He wanted power to seize, when in
bis judgment uecessary, tbe railroads of
the State for tbe transportation of proviv
10ns to tie needy and (uffenmr families.
lie wanted power to renipve judicial of
ficers who did not properly dischsrge therr
duties. He wanted power Id impress pro
visions for tbe families of our soldier.
lie wanted power to seize the dMilleries,
fcc lu none of these cases, however, tiki
ibe Governor intimate that it v should be
done by "due procV-sa of lawibt is by
judicial proceedings lior dor he say
Word about Mwarrauts nued iiion.oath or
htiirmiition." We, bope the L-gislature
gave tbe Governor : the power he Hiked 1
Tor to provide for the fcotfering fttinfrics, nor
do we object lo tbe other recommanda
lions, just referred to.' We ouly notice
tbem to show that the very provisions' of
ibe Constitution which Mr. Stephens -com
plains' have been violated by the act of
Coogress ' tuspetding the writ of habeas
corpus, bave been more flagrantly iolatcd
by Ibe Governor, .whose message he. so
earnestly defends. The, truth is, ; Mr, Ste-
pnensiangut in hie argumealno ought
never lo have left tbal stand-until he had

sired by all good people, both North and
South, and that peace to be obtained only by
a complete and final di&ulutiuo of the old
Union, and in the independenceof the South
ern Confederacy. Men Inay talk ae they
please, but it is contrary to 'reason arid to the
very nature of human beiags to expect peace
as iite-resiilt of i-ecoiKt nation. or-.Sfafe
erfignttf, as some people seetn to bnderstand
it. The tdea o iiiaking North Carolina an
independent kingdom (or whatever el& you
vnsb to call it), by herself, reijardless of l.he
relation she sustains to her sistet States, is
supremely ridiculous; aud pever was sfli
ously eutertained or advocatel by any sane
man unless he expected to build his own glo
ry on the wreck of his State. I don't include'
the ignorant, short sighted persons who are
for peace on any terms, rcgarda-m of the toss
rvf luitional honor, and likewise refardiossof
men who boneaily believe that if the inde
pendence of ,the kt; North Siato were ae
knovrledgcd, that k would briug peace to ev
ery cirisi B" within hef borders. aid lo every
soldier in her armies ; but such men bsydly
ever act or think for lbeniir:lve-they are
governed sokljr by oily tonsurd denaagogues
who aspire lo fortune or fame, perhaps both.
Yet, tins vcrjt cliiss of men hold the bakuuv
of power, aud, in order tlutt a mau may be
placed in a portion wltei-e he can do his couu
Iry a service, it Is necessnry that he should
attach appartnt importance to the prejudices
ami opinions of these very men. This is but
a rough aud brief hint at a politician's logic,
