ifFrom the BEWARE Caartotte Bulletin. OF CONVENTION t CiiARlX)TTE, N.a, July 20, 1871. . Mn. Editor: Many years npo, be fore the Inauguration of the pitiless war i f the sections, as Editor of the 44 Irue Democrat11 I protested to the. people against the mad policy of the day, and a Convention, and told them that these thing would lead to inevitable blood shed and suffering', ami tliatthey would be overwhelmed In disaster and ruin If they followed the Infatuated teachings of Yancey fc Co. , , , VL 1 . Unfortunately I was not heeded, but on the contrary was made the object of the grossest vituperation and the most heartless denunciation. I have borne It all these long years, in sorrow; not in anger.

Peace nfif their material well being advise that they should. It is tetter to bear the Ills we have whivh indeed in the main are but imaginary ,than In the present unsettled condition of public affaire to demand a cliange which may involve us in violence, war, and ruin. The shrewd and calculating advocates of this Convention movement are actu ated less by a broad philanthropy -and more by considerations of personal gain, tlian the people conceive of. The move ment did not originate with the peo-' pie, but contrary to precedent and au thority, the decision of the Supreme Court, and in the face of Its glaring un-t-onytitutionalty. was sprung upon the country by Inexperienced Legislators,.- iiroiiiDted to a ereat extent by . old po litical fossils, who, to get in are as regardless of what Ills it may bring ; to the iieople as they are ' reckless of the means useu to accompiisn iu Aye. pyerthrow of the Constitution in North Carolina to-day ? i i i i i ,:s I was right in ,1800' when I . pleaded for the Union, and warned the people against ' peaceable , secession. 1;; was right soon after the war, when I urged the people to . accept the - Howard Amendment ; and I am right now in 1871, as they will all find out sooner or later, In urging them to vote down this Revolutionary Convention party.

Lindsy and .Capt. CW. Grandy, Jr., would address the . people of this county to-day, on the subject of Con vention. Early this morning the peo ple commenced assembling, and they came from every direction, until they numbered several hundreds. At 10 o'clock, Hon. C. h: Cobb took thestand. and made one of his able and powerful speeches against this Convention herecy which was perfectly unanswerable, and gave full satisfaction to his friends. Capt. Grandy followed In a speech of nearly. three hours, ; In which he dis cussed every point at issue, and thor oughly convinced the people present that this whole Convention scheme is Illegal, unconstitutional, revolutionary and void. Col. IJrulsy followed in one of his happy efforts, against this revo lutionary movement, mwnicn negave a full history of the political life of Mr. Cliamberlaln, the .Representative of Camden County, and also a short his tory of C. C. Williams, the Democratic candidate for Convention, greatly to the discomfiture of those two gentle men. ' -f -ij; : ' - ' Col. Lindsy and Hon. - C. It.

The . re quirements of the legislature in this J-onnevtion will be no more to the mem ers of the Convention than so many words traced Inland at the verge of the (H-ruii. lJut they will be required to take oath that they won't do so and so! Whilst I would not charge upon any - gentleman the possibility of perjury, still it mut not be forgotten that the "Swepsons and Littleflelds"are, In all proltabllity, not all dead, and as Hor ace Walpole says, nny man may have Jus price." J. . i . 1 - - Rut, over and alove all thls.the Con vention, if it is Jind, may keep the promise to the ear and break it to the Iiojk. How? Simply by revolutioniz ing the Supreme Court, removing pres ent wise and humane Justices, and put ting in their places men who are known to te men who are avowedly, and so recorded, opposed to the Homestead and other features of the Constitution in which we are so deeply Interested. ' i U is said, with what truth I cannot .vouch, that hundreds of reversionary interests have already been bought up by lawyers and capitalists who have ait -ve to such results as I am now warn ing the people of. It Is also said that JjKirties thus operating liave really as 'siinutl citizenship in other States, so tlint they may 'scent afar off the ifisem- . l-owelnient and mutilation of the Con- i stithtion, and swoop with relentless " vulturism, ujon our devoted homes and hearth-stones. But, in the face of . all these-untoward possibilities, .is it not safest and wisest to "let well enough alone?? j Conceding that the Constitution has defi-ets, we must insist at the same time that xt here is . nothing in the world which has been constructed by human heads and hand that is perfect and tlmt this m an Inauspicious time to at tempt the subversion of the. whold fabric by imdering to partisan - preju dice. Tiiis is eminently a proper view, when it is borne in mind that, what ever remedy may be Indicated, may ! prepared and applied by the Legis lature without resort. to Convention, . and the . shameful extravaganco ac cording to their own showing-of tie httndrttl ami thirty dollars per dayf for .jter diem, and at least ten thousand dol lar more, to pritd their worthless useless impracticable vaporings. 1 -' - f The laboring, toiling masses of both races," stand upon the Constitution as it , the peers of all other classes; but if they permit themselves to be carried 'whether or no, blindly, madly, under the impulses of wild and senseless huzzahs, to the work of overthrowing the best, the wisest and most benefi- cient Orgaju'c Ijuw the people - have ever known in North Carolina, it would be fitting that it should be written of them Died Abner as the fool diethj his liands were not bound, nor his limbs fettered."

At ;the- meeting an nounced for the Convention candidates, Hon. D. F. Caldwell and Nereus Men- denhall, a large crowd had assembled, the greater portion of whom were Induc ed to be present by the intelligence that our candidate, Hon. It. P.-Dicfc was to be there to ask for a: division of time. Judge Dick arrived" In good - season, and Mr; Ciddwell, with his well known selfishness, was unwilling to allow him to divide the time ; but Mr. Menden hall, with more courtesy, expressed himself in favor of fair and full discus sion. So it was arranged for Mr. Men- uenhail to speak first, tq be followed Dy Judge Dick ; and then Mr. . Caldwell was to be heard. I This arrangement was carried out, and the debate was concluded by J udge Dick, in a short reply toMr Caldwell. . . - , The people were enthusiastic when listening to Judge Dick; and crave him' the best attention that any of the speak ers received. It is1 entirely unneces sary to say that the Judge sustained his reputation. . He was calm and argu mentative, while his speech was inter spersed with many ami thrilling bursts of eloquence.' His remarks were very pointed and forcible, and were of such nature as to cause his hearers to think of and remember them upon their re turn to their homes, as. the result of the election will snow. - i nere is no Constitution, is so plain as to need no comment. No one pretends, for a mo ment, that the Legislature can call a Convention, except in the manner pre scribed in that section. : j I find, in conversation with the peo ple, that those who favor the calling a Convention under this act, contend that the constitutionality of the act of the Legislature and the right of the people to call a Convention, are based upon Section 3, Article 1, Declaration; of IUghts:- ' tj-;:: " That the people of this State have the inherent sole and exclusive right of regulating the internal government and police thereof, and of altering and abolishing their Constitution and form of government whenever it may be necessary to their ' safety and happi ness j but every such right should be exercised in pursuance of law, and con sistently with the Constitution of the United States." . 1 This section of our Constitution gives the people the right to abolish or change their . Constitution ; but at the same time in the same section says it should be done in- "pursuance of law.11 The question is, what law is meant ? It is evident that the framers of the Consti tution did not mean by the phrase, "in pursuance of law," any act of the Gen eral Assembly-a body owing its exist ence to, and being governed byr the Constitution or fundamental law of the State, which is expressly laid down in Sec 1, Art. ,XUI, of the Constitution in these words : No Convention ,of the people shall be called by the Gen eral Assembly unless by the concur rence of two-thirds of all the members of each houseof theGeneral Assembly." Section 2d of, the same Article pre scribes a mode changing the Constitu tion by Legislative enactment; and the Convention of 183T and 18C8 by ex pressly laying down and marking out two distinct methods by which the Constitution might . be amended, of course excludes all the other methods, in the language of Chief Justice Iiuffin, by " irresistible inference." , j It is a ' long established principle, founded on the writings of the wisest sages of the law, both in Europe and in the United States, that in order to ar-f rive at the proper construction of a la either organic or statutory, the first thing to be considered, is the intent of the framers of that law. . Now, the framers of the Constitution of 1835 and 18C8, evidently had some intent in Introducing Sec. 1, Art. XIII of the Constitution, and it is equally evident that that intent was to exclude the present proposed mode of changing the Constitution by excited political factions led by dissatisfied party lead ers seeking change for party power and self-aggrandizement. ' , From the foregoing facts," we are compelled to arrive at the conclusion, that no Convention of the people can be called, and no change in the Consti tution can be effected, except by Con stitutional auihority, unless we depend on the physical force of the people, which is -totally ineffectual, except sustained by that physical force which amounts to revolution, and is justifiable only In cases of the most extreme ne cessity. . ' , Now, supposing that the lives', liber ties ana property of our citizens were In danger, and we failed to find the necessary redress of our grievances n our Constitution, then the. dire neces sity might exist for our people to arise In the revolutionary manner laid down in the jConvention bill ; but as this Is not the! ease, and admitting, for the sake of argument, that our Constitution Jl- A. S ' - I ' . is ueiecuve, ias an nuuiaii iuws are,; and require amendment, let us proceed In the legal way, and in the manner prescribed in the Constitution itself, because, at the same time that the voters of the State accepted and ratified our present Constitution, they accepted and ratified the mode of its - future amendment, 'l - As I have already said, the people of North Carolina can call this Conven jtion, and sustain .the Constitution which they may.frame, not by author ity of law, but only by physical forced The reader may find many other in- stances of a similar nature recorded in history. But look at Mexico; take: a survey of that Republic for the past 25 or 50 years, with no permaifcntor set tled organic law, but rising and falling with the caprice of factions, ana by bringing one after another of her rulers havior was ugly in the extreme, but - tcii! ; no viuieucu waa cuatieu. xuuii up with an additional supply of benzine, they took passage for a return to Gib son's on Conductor Jone's northern bound ' train the same evening. : Pre tending1 to be in search t of some male factor, they passed through the several cars ; accosting passengers roughly. During their peregrinations they came to. a blonde-headed youth,, curled .tip and sound asleep,' and gently shook him until his teeth chattered. The shaker pretended to have found his man : but one of his comrades viewing the bleached top-knot of the frightened sleeper called out to let the old white-' headed bugger slides-he was not their meat ; i was entirely too old and had grown children before he was born. The fair boy having collected his senses i was too full for , utterance, and afraid to resent the ' affront. After making their round the conductor requested then to pay their fare. They thought this unfair and flatly refused, became, very indignant, acted like wild men for. a time, and made dire threats of vengeance on all persons in the cars and " against Mr. Jones particularly. The tram by this time had passed some two miles beyond Humboldt. Conduc tor Jones pulled his f bell rope and brought the train to a halt in a dark, wrooaed swamp spot, the very kind one would think suitable ; for the abode of midnight marauders, and then gently informed the rowdies that they had ar rived at the end of their journey. They raved, kicked, squealed, did all sorts of threatening things, but all without avail. They got off, and as the train moved away the rascals fired several shots, whether or not at the departing cars or only as an act T of bravado to frighten the passengers and others, is unknown. At all events', the belliger erent fellows had a rough tramp through the swamps instead of a nice excursion on a railway train. j ; ; :. ; DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITEt STATES Distinct of North Carolina.- United States vs. 44 boxes Tobacco, 150 lbs. lump Tobacco, 800 lbs. leaf Tobacco, 2 - Iron Screws, 3 Screws, one broken Screw, s hammer, chisel, and other personal pro perty in the Factory Libel of Infor- .mation. - - . -: j ' To It.

' ' The Readers who. by , innamatory speeches and incendiary articles, .influ enced the ; people in . 18G1 to secession, rebellion, war, bloodshed, , and almost to ruin, are now the advocates of the revolutionary Convention of 1871. - Suppose that the doctrine of Seces sion,, which was inaugurated and attempted to be established by physical force alone, without authority of law, had been fully established, or. had the people established- by physical force another mode of amending the Consti tution of tlie United States except that laidndown in Sec. 1, Art. V, of theConi Stitution, what might have been the result ? Might not the late of Mexico have been purs, ere this?. ; . . . , , , .
