:; The most ; shameful outrage of
modern times is the recalling of a
Legislature - elected i, without any
reference to - the questions; now at
issue, for the purpose of , passing
laws for a people who have by a
large 4 majority repudiated . them.
Every lair-minded citizen; knows
that if the question of the return of
the present unpopular Assembly
was presented ; to; the people, the
verdict would be largely, against it.
But what care the - Democracy so

--The'- present Sunreme Court of
North Carolina saved the! people's
homes. For this act of justice the
Democrats hate it. The first object
of the usurped majority in the Con
vention is to destroy, this court, be
cause it is the people's friend, and
place in its stead one; that' they, can
use. Mark our words the very
first act of the new 'SuprehW Court
if it should be -Democratic, will be
to declare the retrospective features
of the homestead unconstitutional
and open to execution , the ' poor
man's property for old debts, f This
is what 'such; lawyers as' compose
the usurping majority want; and if
the people do not check them in time
they will cary out their designs.
It will hardly be much for future
generations to, bra of, when rejec
tion carries them back to a. Conven
tion sitting In the capltol at Raleigh
against the expressed 'wishes of the
people, - owing its organization to
the treachery, of one .man and its
continuance to two illegally seated
rriembers.;h; A 1 w; i : ! i!,r-
The V wealth and Intelligerice' will
bear no,Yery.enviable cha
history for uprightdealing. : JWe
should not wonder if many yet un
born will blush for shame at the acts
and doings of their ancestors. The
pen of the future historian must' be
indeed a shrewd one tb cover up the
villainous proceedings of many who
claim f to represent Southern; chiv
alry and honor. Jt ? is enough J to
cause every , true hearted North
Carolinian to blush i for shame. And
Bansom, what will be said of him ?
To think that the Old North; State
whose ' gallant sons i went through
the good ' old ! revolutionary age
without discredit, and whose record
stands unsullied on the pages of bur
country's history, sishould liiow ; be
classed 'among -the , commonwealth
as .a State that brought -; forth a
traitor to stab her dearest interests.
