Was ihe Convention If'Korth Citrolin, which ceced ed from th United Stapes, and carried the State into the Southern Confederacy, in. earnest in its action? Did it mean the- full consequences of jits deed, and did it reflect the will of the .people?, The ordinance o secession ivas passed unanimously, and without delay' upon the meeting of &at Conv sDtipn. Had that body duly reflected upon the cpr sequences of that momentous step.! bid adieu, firmly, to-the peace" they left behind and welcomed the horrors of the war they invited by their counsel ? What determined their course in such a directicfn ? Was it the; last refuge left to a free people, to escape from a coming tyranny which they believed to fee insupportable.? or was it'a mere chivalrous impulse to rush lo the assistance of our sister States that had entered into conflict with' the United States ? Was that .flrsl, act in the drama of the Revolution duly considered und oast to reflect the feelings of the audience, the people of North Ca rolina ? Do"that peopl believe th3 caasei which oc casioned the act of the j Convention, to Ler in fact, a sufficient justification of the measure ? If they do believe this, if the Convention at that time reflected theicwill, has anything since then arisen either in the policy of the United States or of the Confederate States to change the views of the people ? The Con.- vention, during its scssif fi, after thejpassaga of the or dinance, declared the separation final, and the Lcgis jature wnicn nas just cioijea its present sittrug, lagain declares the separation final If this Legislature, just from the people, find caujse to declare the action of the vonvejuion just ana prqper, ana to aration must still meet the approva No open effort has been made, in adopt St, the sep of the people. terms, to separate the South, Ac- i North Carolina from het sisters of cording to the action or Hhe non-action of the repre- asntatives of th people, ther are pleased ito remain with the SouthernConfederacy.

To the members ;of thai bodyabfljve all others, are we entitled to look -for greatest encouragement in this struggle. The Con ederacy owes its being to them in a great degree, ajid it has a right to expect from them their all of support and defence irk the try- - ins scene through which! we are passing. The Pres- J ident has a right to look! to them ft r - support above all others ; and if they believe him patriotic md com petnt, he has a still stfoliger right to sii pr ose, that no fretful compTaints agkinat una vnidable disasters Many members jthe Legislature, they are half, by them,' be laid t(. his door, of the Contention are members of and 'many others are in ositiQns in which constantly heard by the rkople." What is called the Conservative party, numbers in its ranks a largo por tion, if not a majority ol that Uonyention, and the world has just cjmso to Imarvel at jthe fact. .They b?oke up the old Government,, launched u into an interminable war with tile most powerful ration on earth, and set before lis a uture;full of silfferi ag, peril time isisnent in iat they that not these gentlemen since? Their whole an effort. to convince the pfeople of the! State t were opposed to the 'whble movement and upon them, .but upon -what they caltjV faction, com posed of a small minority which they have named ' Destructives," rests the whole odium 6f this disastrous state of affaits. They denopnee this miirjority an all oc casions as unfit to.be trusted with powjer, becajus they broke up one government, which' the Conservatives helped wjth all their might to overturn. The reas- oning is this : it is true, we, of the Conservatives, are in iuc luajuritjr, auu we fwueu against in faonc Oi the old Union with i all pur mights ; But we coula hot push it down, and sofar as we are concerned, it would have sjood. But ycju meddlesome Destructives, seeing us straining ineffectually to topple over tho concern, 'came to our aid and with vour additional help, i we did overthrow; the structure and now you L is consummated. If they delay it may be too late see th . consequences.' Therefore, not we, the Con servatives, but you, the Destructives! are responsible - for tTie wbnla mischief. I Ton nnshed too hard with us, harder' than "we did, yon know jou did, md it is not fair for yon now to hold us chargeable w ith your .doings. . ,;j '.;ir::;:jk;.:;--;.'; ' ; Further;jthe Conservatives say, jpu destructives counseled us to push down the old goyernmenj; several , hours, some say days,. Wore we (bought it the right time to begin the, destruction. ; 'Jt was your inischie vous brain that hatched thidea. It is raTbught you were right after considering the qnestionj a while, but that matters not you owned the; copyright and we have" only used the inrentun. Such is the train of reasoning with whch many f the gentlemen wjbjp? signed th ordinance of iecessiouv and their foliowera of the Conservative school Jseek to justify to the peo ple, their strange course in all the abuse and jbpposi t ion which they heap: upon the southern i movement and the Confederate Govrnment We haTeino fear of free discussion, we havin no terms of renroaeh. even ; . ' . i t-r , ' .j at this time, for a free interchange oil omnion. . We 1 have heard, without a- thought and withont concern, compeTrisons drawn between the Confederate Govern ment, the Government of tbe United States, that of Great Britain and others. In the freedom of social In- tercourse such topics will arise, and black would be 'the despotism which sought to repress the rreeden of pccch i , Bat the ; csumal and careledi expressions of friends and acquaintances dropped in the streets, : un matured and half nndcritooJ, are one tiling, and the public declaration of views and principle topoa th stump, ami in newspapers, aud in the halls ofLeis lation, where pen are supposed to have reflected calm- .ly upai jrhat they ntter, are quite another thing. . It may be asked, why indulge in such a homily upfli things that a'e past and irrevocable. Are we not all . out. of the old Union and into the new ? Did not every one of cs join heart andf band in ushering in the new Wder ot tldngs ? ; True, all seemingly didf but a4arge portion 6f,tis act andrtaJk now as if we were soiTy for the part w took, and spend our whole tima in abusing otlis for the results wc see growing oHit of our action. ,lt is this contradicticn between acts and words, this silly trifling with every interest we have, and this unjust denunciation of others for our own acts, which have elicited this article. . Can It be Possible. In answer torenquirics on tjie subject, we reply that it was stated by the unscrupulous Holdeo of the&an dard that Gov. Vance directed the mayor of Raleigh to go to the dpot in this city and arrest Mr. McCub bin, the conGdential ofl5cer.of .the Confederate govern ment, with his prisonern charge, the Rev. Mr. Graves arrested on an accusation of treasonable practices and hold them both subject to the order of the Gov--ernor ! Tiie truthless character of the Standard would make na doubt this extraordir ary tt-.ien.ent, did not that partizan sheet claiaa to be the organ of Gov. Vancc Can the law-abiding people of North Carolina sanction a proceeding such as this, if true ? Gov. Vance should deny this statement, or answer to the people for hi high-handed conduct. ' Sale of Real Estate. The house and lot of D. W. Courts, on Hillsboro' street, sold a day or two ago 'or $6,530 three times its original cost. v From the Ricmond Eaquirer, 19th inst. Xortb Carolina. Wd! speak the common sentiment of Virginia, when we declare that we have always cherished a warm and cordial appreciation for the people of our sister State of North Carolina. .Their integrity, man Ililcss and modesty are perhaps better known and esti by us than by the States farther South and West. This feeling of respect hasbeen hightened by the war. The two States moved at the same time' for secession. When the shock of battle came, North Carolina braced herself (or tlje struggle wiih a4pirit and determina tion that did not surprise us, 'lor they were not, we well knew, of a race, to brook oppression. Both Ja$ to the number and conduct of her troops, North Car olina has every reason to beproud. The late victory at Kinston,' achieved mainly if not exclusivelyVby North Carolina troope, is but one of the many sim ilar proofs of the bravery and determination of her ' sons. ' Bu, wii'o we recognizthe devotion of a generous people to a great cause, we are pained to note anoth er a. d contrary spirit in some of thernembers of the Legislature of that State. A bill as we have already stated, m pending at Raleifjh, now to raise ten thou sand State troops, and these are to be taken from the , class of citizens whohave already been called out by ; the Confederate governmsnt. After a full debate' pre amble "declaring the bscence of any purpose to con vflict with the Conscript law and the Conferate Au thorities was voted down. The common law passed hy the Congress far the benefit of all the States, is to b broken down 'on the convenient plea of local de fence. Where is this to cnJ ? If one State may do this why not another? Why should not Sout'-i Carolina r call air1 her troops for the defence of Charleston and Georgia hers for the defence of Savannah ? Mobile, loo, is threatened, so the sons of Alabama must quit the Rappahannock for the Gulf. Mississippi and Louisana are suffering greatly from invasion, sfud.th.ey too must withdraw their quotas. So with the rest. Such is the natural and necessary result' of this unfor tunate. business. The upshot is that each State is left to hjr own defence the Yankees will concentrate where they please, aod overwhelm each State in turn, The war would soori degenerate into a mereguerilla . struggle, and in a brief time, all would be under the iron heel of the Yankees. r - It was to prevent just such consequences as these that the Confederate Government was formed with the assent of all the States, Norih Carolina jincluded, and armed with power to conduct and manage the war. Ou no other principle can we have a hope of success. Let this untimely precedent be at once set and followed, and ruin and degradation will be the portion of the South. History will record that after deeds of valor tbajl have attracted the unmeasured ad miration of the world, after sacrifices almost without a parallel, when victory after victory had crowned the heroism of the South, when liberty and indepen dence had been alnpit won, the rich prize' was lost by the folly and madneiS of faction. Who would not blush to read such a page ? WJiat citizen of North North Carolina could ever hope to hold up his head if he felt that hislState had been the first to break the unity of the Confederacy and point the path to anarchy and subjugation ? The leaders of this plot may be as sured that in such event the brand of Cain would be nothing to theirs. We say a plot, because we are well assured that neither the people of North Carolina nor the great majority of the Legislature have any sympathy with such designs. Most of them who voted for the mea sure, it is-safe to infer, are governed by good motives and have not sufficiently reflected upon the conse- quences of their proceedings. But there are others in the. back ground plotting and scheming, who, if their hearts were known, would not improbably be torn to pieces by the patriotic masses of North Carolina. To the latter we appeal to rise and. put theirr seal of condemnation upon this movement. Upon the wretched struggle for offices and spoils at Raleigh they may well look with cou tempt and indifference ; but they must now arouse themselves ere their rum Let them snatch from the enemv the onlv consolation ho can Have for the crushing defeats of Fredericks burg aud Kinston. Fortunately, North Carolina has -a Governor who we believe has the wisdom and nerve to meet any attempt to betray the: State. We look with confidence to him and to the people of North Carolina, without reference topt distinctions, 'to crush a measure which brings more hope of conquer ing the South to Lincoln than all his armed hirelings in the field. - The Governor who will stand out on the page of history as one who wielded the powers of his high office to aid and sustain the Confederate author ities in the work of common defence, may well afford to despise the counsels f ephemeral and factious presses. He may lose the plaudits of the last, but he will hot dishonor the brave dead of his . own State, who have offered up their lives for libeiiy-f-ana he will haveihe thanks of their brethren in arms, of ev ery State, who survive them. . ; . . -'.',; ' Gen.
