NECESSITY FOR CHANGE. The necessity for changing many cf the provisions of the ex isting Constitution is generally ad mitted, and is too apparent to re quire extended argument. It is time that some of our prominent men ct one time opposed the , call for a convention; but (their action wase based on prudential considera tion, and not on an indisposition to have the Constitution thoroughly revised. They feared that -our purpose is seeking to reform, -our Fundamental Law, might be miss construed by the violent and ill- informed men then controlling Con gress, and tho prosperity of our people checked, and the peace of State jeopardiszed by . some harsh and unconstitutional action, on ."the part of the United States authori-. ties. That fear no longer exists. We now have every assurance that the Constitution of the. United States will be observed "by the, officers of the Government, and fee a satisfctction in "announcing to you that the time has "at kst arrived, when the officials at ..Washington City concede that the people of North Carolina have the same right" to manage their local concerns which the citizens of other States enjoy. e can proceed without apprehension to perfect oar Cons stitution and remodel it in the in-, terests of our people. THE COXSTITITTION, THE CREATURE OF MILITARY LAW. This Constitution, tha creature of Military dictation, was born in the throes of a Alilitary reconstruc tion. Its authors were mainly Sciolists and adventurers, who had lived among us without preferment, or possessed of qualifictions entitl ing them to it; others were our re cent slaves, who has known no law save the will of their masters, and others still were carpet-baggers, uota black aavl wuite aiien in feeling and Radical in education who sought position here that were denied them were known to des poil and humiliate as their work was submitted to the people at the polls, thousands of our best citizens were deprived of the right of voting upon it, and over eighty thousand ignorant ne groes were given the ballot to se cure its adoption, it is no f xaggera tion to say that not one person in ten who voted for it could read the instrument, and not one in fifty Is- practical denial of - justice, the eourts are inadequate to the. pub lie demands,'; and thus they are driven tor resort to special . terms, which are expensive . and unsatis factory, and persons'- accused of criminal offenses are often' confined for months without trial. -We need a speedier justice and a less ex pensive judiciary - system. We should abolish every useless office, which now filled by-a mere "-con sumer; for ;pnly . by;-. a., rigid - and prudent economy-in our public , as well as private affairs, cart .we hope to restore tha State r prosperity. It is believed that the laws will be more impartially administered by a return to tne old practice oi a rotation of the Judges. , e AMENDMENTS TO THE CRIMINAL LAW NECESSARY, It ls.ulso -hoped that a. greater incentive to honesty and a purifi cation of 1 the ballot box might result from cepnving . those who are convicted : oi miamous. crimes of the elective franchise. Th? matter of the- Penitentiary which already contains more than six -hundred able-bodied theft,"" also demands careful and practical at tention, to i'einove in' some 'incas ure that burden from our shoulders. Mo8toiir private" legislation. -should be-ex-eluded from the iJeneraVAs sembly "However,- our limited space does" not permit us to cata logue the numerous defects and im perfections of the present constitu tion or to enumerate the remedies to be offered There should be sme general or dinance adopted in relatioa to pri vat e enactments, thereby 'reducing the expenses of the Legislature, and in order to prevent hasty and inconsiderate legislation,' that no new matters be brought forward within days of their adjourn. ing. CAEKFUt SELECTION O? DELEGATES. . As to the specific changes that ought to be made, these are to be considered by the citizens of tho va rious counties. . who should be care- ful to select as delegates those who will properly reflect their wishes. Men oi enlarged and practical states- And when men6hip, spotless integrity, represen tatives oi an oiasses ox society, - solo. whose positions amonir yon will en title their labors to confidence and support and in their hands they certainly can more safely confide their rights than in the Convention of 1808. METHOD OF. CHANGE. Of the- two methods prescribed for I changing : the Constitution, that by legislative enactment is expensive, of u tixps members of , the " ifeetricted pbnvention" of l835rthe same qTies-. tion "was Taised, and' after debate" all taa members fobk oath and ob served the restnaticmeiand that in a time of high . party -expHement. In that discussion' the "' distinguished Judge (Jaaton us9d"the"following ,lan- pruage: ."The State 1 Legislature bad indeed no authority to, , impose an oafii upon the members of the Con veatien, but -the people" had ratified tneaot ol the Legislature by cnoos-' ing delegates up-deii.jlf wo trans cend he limits or refuse obedienoe to the conditions therein prescribed, vo are not the Convention called ' by the people, hut a self . constituted" body these" views were concurred in by Macon, : Edwards, Morehead, .. and others.- We will dismiss this subject however,, by calling, attention to the abb work ot Judge Jamieson on 4Con sutubonal Conventions," whero by argument and the cases eited by him ia relatioa to this matter, he demon atrated that Conventions are bonnd to obey the restrictions imposed by the .Legislature"; in ' the Act calling the Uonventioni ,, , ' -,, AID FKOII JlErtJELICAKS. " In our last election it was gratify ing to see Be publicans who had hith erto submitted to the control . of un- scrupulous leaders under a mistaken belief that they .were promoting the general welfare, seeing their corrup ness as demonstrated by tho "Credit Hobilier revelations," "Sanborn Contracts" and other frauds and de ialcaupns, and . their vindictive and relentless" policy, whereby .they sought to degrade the superior race by this iniquitous " Civil Kights IjiU ovoreome their -patty prejudice end give us their' cordial support. To them we . extend an invitation to res main ana continue the work so aus. piciously begun, To those who dp posed us under the delusion - of their leaders who assured them this bill would. never pass Congress and if it did would be voted by the President though it now has" Tiis signature ; and who hive witnessed': the earnestness with which the dangerous "Force Bill" was urged upon Congress, we say no longer remain whero there is neither safety nor honor to a North Carolinian. The battle for civil liber ty is not vet over. " Civil Rielits" still a part of the secret carpet-bag programme for this btate ; though driven from the halls of Congress, it will be renewed in the Southern States. We therefore invite their co operation. The Vbnvention owes its final Success to the support of some of .their ablest representatives in the General Assembly and they are doubtless aware thaftho wise provi Sions introduced into the Convention of 1868, by their ablest native repro rentatives were scouted and defeated by that same element that has brought ruin upon their party and coniusion to our State. , had read it or was even moderately uncertain and dangerous ; the sever FOR NORFOLK AND IRTlRiv1 1 EASTE PORTS.

It is natural therefore that a Constitution ' thus formed and adopted should be found un- suited to our condition, and that we should embrace tho earliest op , i portunity consistent with reason and prudence to secure such chan ces as time and experience have shown to be necessary. Our or ganic law should be expressed in language clear, simple and per spicuous, so that nothing may be left to inference or construction; our rights, so precisely defined as to be comprehended by all men of ordinary intelligence; and each de partment of the government should -and be so restricted, that while left free So discharge its appropriate duties, it cannot by unwarranted encroach ments embarrass the proper action of the others. THE THIRD TERM. the Letter Prom. President Grant on TMrd Term, WASHisrGSON", May 30. Presi ¬ dent Grant has written the follow ing letter to General Harry White, vania Republican State convention: :..trutw 3iitnsion, vvashing- toa, D. C, May . 29, 1875. Dear Sir : ' ' A short time subsequent to the presidential election of 1872 tho press, a portion of it, hostile to the republican; party, and partic ularly so to . the administration, started the cry ot . cresansm and 'the third term, calling, lustily for me to define my ' position on the latter subject. . I believed it to be beneath the dignity of the office which I have been twice called up-. on to. fill to answer such a question before the subject should be pre sented by competent authority to make a nomination, or - by a body of such dignity and . authority, as net to make a reply a . fair subject of ridicule. In. fact I have 1 been surprised that so many sensible persons in the republican party should permit their enemy to force upon them and their party as issue which cannot add strength to the party, no mat ter how met. But a body of the dignity and party ufherity of a convention to make nominations for the Stat officers of the second State in the Union having considered this question, I deem it not improper that I should now' speak. In the hrst place, never sough the oflice for a second nor even for a first nomination. To the first I was called from a life position, one created by Congress expressly for me, for supposed services rendered to the republic. The position vacated 1 liked. It would have been most agreeable to have re tained it until such time as Con gress might have consented to my retirement, with the rank and a portion of the emoluments which I so much needed, to a home where the balance of my days might be spent in peace and the enjoyment of domestic quiet, relieved from tho cares which have oppressed me so constantly now for fourteen years, Hut 1 was made to believe that the public good called me to make the sacrifice. Without seeking the oflice for the 'second term,' the nomination was tendered to me by a unanimous vote of the delegates of all the States and Territories, se lected by the rpublicans of each, to represent their whole number for the purpose of making their nomi nation. I can not say that I was not pleased at this and at the over-, whelming endorsement which their action received at the election fol lowing.

W - TOLER, THE .TO CONSTITUTION UNSUITED OUIi CONDITION. That the Constitution contains some good provisions no one denies; it would be singular if it did not, but its abominable characteristics were so manifest that not a single Conservative member of the Con vention that passed it could be in duced to- affix his signature to it, al amendments recently submitted to and ratified by the people encounter ed the greatest difficulties in their passage, and even after the will of the people was declared in their fa vor by over 40,000 majority, serious apprehensions weie entertained as to whether they were properly adopted ; again' legislators when possessed of qualifications for Such duties, are en cumbered with numerous matters and cannot bring that attention to each provision presented for consideration,- without meeting such, criticisms as may imperil .their labors. :..: u The Convention method is speedy and economical, the body is compos ed only of the same number of mem bers as comprise the House of Rep resentatives, and their minds are di rected alone to constitutional reforms and their work may be completed ratified, it necessary, in six months. As to .the expenses that may be incured. it is believed they will be more than defrayed in a short time by tho reforms that will be in ausrerated. 1 The restrictions imposed by the Legislature, fully and amply secure the Homestead, Mechanics .Lien, Rights of married women, and Per sonal Liberty, and should quiet the fears of the most timid, for they are recogmzdd as of binding efficacy and are chielly enjoyed by the friends of constitutional reform. Indeed they were incorported in" the bill mainly to remove partizan clamor, and an ticipate unscrupulous agitation. They feat by divisions and false leaders. "We therefore respectfully invite their attention to tho following resolution adopted and successfully followed in our last campaign : ; Itesolvtd, That we earnestly recom mend to tha members of the Democr- ic Conservative party to discouraget ndependent candidates and all other disorganizes, that all support bo promptly withdrawn from every as pirant for office who 6hall oppose the fairly in the shape of a proposition as a fit instrument to be submitted f not the property of a mere, party, to tho neonle.

QTJAXITICATIOXS OF DELEGATES. It is useless however, to seek to quiet "the mere caviller : the keen op tics of some persons defy all law. The mere fact that the honor of the best men in the State is pledged, to their "preservation, should satisfy every reasonable? roter.- This ''Con- unknown in the ioridical history of I vention is called in nuxiuanee of law our State, distilegished as "Judicial and each, delegate Were V be shall legislationy , ..an innovation anti repuoucan in character and invas sive of the rights and duties : of a be permitted to sit. to bt entitled to a seat in said Convention or act as a delegate thereto," shall swear to ob gnj. 4 separateepatfpenk;'- Its - pron serve' these " restrictions" ' (sea ' acts gratifi cation that it is only human to have appreciated and enjoyed. .Now for the 'third term. I do not want it any more than I did the first. 1 would not write or utter a word to change the will of tne people in expressing and hav ing their choice. The question of tho number of terms allowed to any one executive can only come up regular nominees of our Conventions Let your primary Conventions be du T - ... y advertised and see that the people have a full ODportunity of attending and expressing their wishes. The contest is important not only; in its immediate effects but in subsequent results. Tho Republican party under to amend the constitution, a shape in which all political parties can participate, fixing the length of time of, or the number of terms for which any one person shall be eligi ble for the office of President. Until such an amendment is adopted the the leadership of carpet-baggers still people cannot be restricted in their remaining among us, will advocate I cnoice Dy resolution lurtuer than the election of delegates, .who will 1 they are now restricted as to age, agree to meet and adjourn without nativity, kc.

Tho idea that any man could elect himself President, or even res nominate himself, is preposterous. It is a reflection upon the intelli gence and patriotism of the people to supposesuch a thing possible. Any man can destroy his chances tor the office, but no one can force an election or even a nomination. To recapitulate ; I am not, nor have I ever been a candidate for renomination. I would not accept a nomination were it tendered, un less it should come under such cir cumstances as to make it an im perative duty circumstances not likely to arise. I congratulate the convention over which you presided for the harmony which prevailed and for the excellent ticket put in the field, which I hope may be triumphantly elected. With great respect, your obedient servant, U. S. Grant. To Gen. Harry White, Presi dent Pennsylvania State Convene tion.
