The Intereoting and atriking retume of the ca pabtlittea of North Carolina," communicated by Got. Worth to the toitod Btatet Commission er of Immigration, and published 1b tbia paper on Monday, suggest the proper theatre in which all the energies' of our people should be at pres ent employed.. Denied their rightful place in the council of the government, after having done alj, that, and more than, comported with their manhood, dignity and self-respect to se cure it, it only remains for them to .eequjesce, with what composure and .serenity they may, in the unjust and iniquitous sentence which ex cludes them from their Constitutional privi leges, and. dey ote themselves iothe recuperation of their individual fortunes and the development o the multiplied resources of the State. . W speak from an intimate knowledge of their char acter, and especially from a intimate acquain tance with the present condition of popular sentiment, when w say, that they are done with unworthy concessions to an insatiate fanaticism, " and that they will not voluntarily set their own ' oeals to the verdict which U to 'degrade them. If it it to come, it will be through no self-agen- cy, and tbey-witl bear it with the philosophy of a noble and manly-character. They will never commit suicide, though they may steel thenv selves for the stake of martyrdom. They may "continue for a while to be the . objects of an un relenting and vindictive persecution, but after years will reverse the harsh judgments of the present hour, and all will be right in the end. Meanwhile, undisturbed by threatened polit ical evils and steering entirely clear of lie arena of political agitation, our people'' may find in attention, to their internal and in dustrial condition not only the means of diversion from impending troubles, but the sure means of wealth and prosperity., If it be true that, even under the ordinary circumstances of life-, be is to be esteemed as a public benefactor who makes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before, he is to be doubly consid ered so who, at s time like the present, contrib utes in any degree, however small, to the work of repairing our prostrated condition Andjn this work every min, if he will only set about it aright, can lend a helping hand. The diver siflodfjapabilities of our soil, in mineral and agricultural production, the resources of our forests, and oar manufacturing facilities, afford a thousand avenues of enterprise and of profit, which, w,hile they promlseremuneration to in dividual investment and lalior, will tend to Sell the aggregate wealth of the State. We look, for instance, upon the movement recently organized for the purpose of boring for Petro leum in ,the carbonferous regions of Rocking ham, Chatham and Moore, where, by the way, whve no doubt it exists, all geological in dications are fallacious, as likely to be pro ductive of more substantial good to the State than twenty years of unprofitable wrangling over the question of re -construction, as matters stand at present . With a soil of general unsurpassed fertility . with a climate equal to' that of the most favor ed regions of the globe with a water-power -capable of moving the machinery of ibe worl&i "witu the more useful minerals in abundance;' coal beds and iron mines equaTfo those Ot Pennsylvania; the habitat of that great boon of Providence, the Pine ; the indigenous home of the choicdest varieties of grapes ; with the most sitended fisheries Bottth of the extreme North era Atlantie Coastposaessing all these ad vantages, there is no reason why North Carolina should be second to any State in, or-out of, the 'Union. Let us turn our attention to these ad vantages, and seek in their employment a re, psration for the losses of the' war. Whatever fite may betide us ia the future, we shall be all 1 Ohe better prepared to meet it If it is to be, under the pressure of Radical malignity, w hat we have too good cause to apprchendour -strength" wtlfbe TEe more equal foHtile tmer- gency. If tttrteUmdr which n aw tower- above" us are to be dissipated, and under the influence of wiser counsels, and returning reason we are TTolVrestored to oui proper position in the galaxy of States, we shall bethe better fitted to adorn and illustrate the position, and to reflect credit upon ourselves and the common country.

Our readers have alreadv considered the bur port of the telegram ia yesterday's issue, propo sing, on the part of the Executive Committee of the National Union Club at Washington, the holding of a National Convention of delegates from each Congressional , District in all the States and from the States at large, Ac, to meet at Philadelphia, on the 2d. Tuesday la August next The object we understand to be to combine and organize, for the purpose of meeting the is sues now before the country, all the conservative men of all parties, who are truly Constitutional Union men, "who sustain the President's admin- istratian m uatutaiulng unbrdken the Constltit tion which our fathers established, and -who agree in certain propositions, including the main tenance Inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially of the right of each State to order and control its own domestic concerns, accord' ing to its own judgment exclusively, as .essen tial to the balance of power on which the per fection and endurance of our political fabric de pend, and the overthrow of that system by the usurpation and centralization of power In Congress, which would be a revolution danger on to Republican government and destructive of liberty." In a word, the Object is to concentrate- and unite, for a temporary, but vital purpose, all canservative men of all parties, who" heartily support President Johnson's policy against the policy of the Radicals, in order, if possible, in the coming elections, to defeat their plans and the plans ot alt" who are opposed to sn early constitutional Union of all the States in harmo ny and concord! We understand that this proposition does Sot contemplate the organization of a complete, perfect and tasting party, but it is for the spe cific work of accomplishing the restoration of the Union on President Johnson's platform, leaving every one free to act, after that object i accomplished, with whatever party be may elect. As we are at present advised, we are entirely favorable to the propositionIt is de sirable on many accounts. Frist, in order to bring Northern and Southern conservatives into closer bonds, to interchange views and to effect mutual co-operation and Mendship.- Secondly to enable both North and South to understand each other better. Thirdly, because out of this may grow up a party truly conservative, made up of the best men of all parties, for the future defence and maintenance of the government trained by our lathers. We. therefore, urare the DeODle of North Caro lina to hold County meetings throughout the mate, to make arrangements tor their own County candidates for the approaching election. and for District Conventions for the selection of two delegates from each Congressional Dis trict, and the appointment or delegates from the State at large, to represent North Carolina in said Convention, at Fuillauelphia. Texas Scheme of the Radicals. ( CorrtDjxmienct of tht Jf, T.t Herald.) . " WmhCnqtok, June 84., 1866, The arrival in town a few days since of Pro visional Governor Hamilton, ot Tsxas, was not in itseM a remarkable event Provisional Gov ernors have come to and departed from Wash ington during tne past year with almost as much regularity as the sun. Nor is Provisional Governor Hamilton inlany sense a very remark - aDle man. jjuring tne rebellion he remained true to the . Union, as did many others who were not rewarded for their fidelitv with place- and power.- In Hamilton's Case, iwwrrw, it. wouiu. mm mat -iug rresiueni;, i, while seeking in bis appointment to reward and-l , cuijyui WJffUfcJ, Euau. 1110 nuv UUWIUUUB UUB- take of fostering treachery and disloyalty. ; -Governor Hamilton, on his arrival here, call-, ed upon the President, and was admitted to a leng and confidential interview. He called a second time, and was received in tike manner, as his pretensions demanded, he claiming to be a warm and devoted friend to the President and an admirer of bis administration. : But it tioea not appear at all likely that h will call- again, or mat, ii ne snau call, na wiu meet -with-so -cordiala reeeptioir. And- the ' reason' why his reception will be diflerent from that be has hitherto met, wilt be gathered from a peru sal of the following, letter lrom a prominent vear tlenian in Texas, as indisputably loyal man, well known throughout the country. This let ter was received here a day or two since, and bss been laid before the President The writer and recipient are alike well known, and the in formation conveyed in the letter hi beyond doubt . The letter runs as follows v , . Galveston, Texas, June 8, 1888. UIAK Governor Hamilton leaves here toinorrow for Washington. From sources, no doubt perfectly reliable, I learn that be goes on at the invitation of Mr. Speaker Colfax, Senator Trumbull and others, who regard him, as one of bis admirers tells-me, as the great roan of the Union party South ot the Potomac - ? , -, - His programme, I believe, will be to produce or accept a rupture with the President He will then be serenaded by the Radicals, and will lay before the public the condition of the Union men in Texas and the South, alleging that the amy alone protects them from being driven out of the country and exposed to every insult and outrage ; and that if tha7 (governor "who this month will be-etarted-by the people of Texas- TbrocVmorton is permitted to be installed, be will counsel the twenty-five thousand Union white men of this State and- the sixty thou sand Union black men of the State to over throw the rebel minority which oppose and en slave them. Aa insurrection - wilt to encour aged and they believe the President will not be permitted to use the army against the whit and black Union men of the State in behalf of the white rebels. - The President will be de nounced in the strongest and bitterest terms as having betrayed the Union men of the South, and given them, bound band and foot, into the power of the enemies of the country. His speech wilt be the signal for a more vi olent and vindictive crusade against the Presi dent and tbe South than has heretofore been waged ; and the plan is to summon whites and blacks to tbe Dolls to'exercis thn riivinelv enn- fterred and inalienable rights of participation in mo government. My information is direct and unquestionable. : . W. TilK PLOT THICKENS. Here, then, is a scheme that would have done credit to tbe Jacobins of -France in the palm- iet days of their famous revoliitionJffltl which hard ly eoBmr Tiredi b le Tn thisT-day and geuemuuB. i ue names oi irumDuu ana uol fax being asseeiated with - the schehie would seem to cast the shadow of a doubt about it, as we have been led to look upon these two men ss rather inclined, while participating- with the Radicals, to counsel more, conservative and moderate measures. But dopbless their associ ations have corrupted them to. such: a degree that, with Ohandler. Sumner. -Wade. Stevens and the i rest of Iha. holy .patriotistoaMy, theyi raiuer iiae me sneacung ot Dlood. :- It Will be remembered that just before the first gun jpli the late war ws fired, Chandler, of Mit-higan, wrote to bis friend -Governor Blair, oF that State, that "some of our New England friends think a War would be awful; but in my opinion without a little blood-letting this Union will not be worth a rush." The premature publica tion of this elegant and Christian sentiment caused the honorable Zachariah some little con fusion and embarrasmeut ; but in the subsequent blaze of patriotic fervor that spread over the land, on tbe announcement of- the attack on Sumter, the blood-letting letter was a trump card, and its lofty author strutted through the country with all the pomp and ceremony of a Sir Oracle. So now his associates and-confreres may plot insurrection and violence that appear very horrible and fearful in anticipation, but which by manipulation may be made to appear a holy struggle and its author subjects of ac claim snd preferment... And so, indeed, it is that in this advanced age of the world, we find men claiming to be enlightened, intelligent. Christian gentlemen and wise legislators, deliberately plottingrevo lution and bloodshed. The greed of power, must be great in men who will so deliberately sacrifice all loyal instincts, all fraternal affection, all Christian principle all enlightened judgment, for the sake of breeding crime, misery, desola tion, death and ruin, that through such agen cies they may govern an empire. . TilAD ST8VHN8 RKVJfr B MoNWflMKHV Blair. One week: g(r5-dayex-P(8tmaster General Blair delivered a speech at Frederick, Maryland, on the "issue ot the time," in which he took occasion to point out the results that must follow tbe present '.system of legislation in Congress in regard to the reconstruction Of the South. In the first place be showed that it was contrary to the avowed object of the war and that Stevens and his faction are trying to secure subjugation instead of restoration. " The niBioncai points raised in this speech are very -4 opportune ana iorciwy stated. Mr. Blair clear ly shows that the policy of the radicals towards the Southern States is without a parallel in tbe history of tbe world and directly in opposition tu the policy of our own : government in sup pressing former rebellions, and, by way- of il lustration, recalled tbe conspiracies in New En gland against tbe Union at the time of the sW ond war with England, tbe Hartford Conven tion, also the Buckshot war in Pennsylvania, where Thad Stevens advised all his associates "to throw their conscience totbe-Ttevtr-Trnd carry out their scheme at all hazards. , The action of Congress since tbe commence ment of tbe present session is thoroughly ex posed, from the sdoption of the Freedmen's Bu reau bill down to the numerous constitutional amendments. The worklna of the Freedmen's Bureau, under the management of the New En gland agents, is also shown up, and the declara tion made that we are fast drifting in our policy into the system practised by England towards Ireland, the result being that New England sal; diets will be sent there to collect taxes irrviola inn nf th mwit i,iMmnU i 1 in . , . ' volt of the colonies from the rule of Englandi "taxation without representation." All this is being done that a few radicals may retain powef and force upon the country negro equality, ne gro sum-age ana a negro bureau. Mr. Blair was unusually pointed In his remarks on "this" "6cc- ion, and indicated in unmistakalile' torma-4he- revolution which isnow ruling in Concress. If. Pensions to th Soldiers of thb Wad of gaattl811i-The Committee on InvalidsHiHdefF atona in tne House or Representatives have re ported against granting pension to the soldiers of the war . of 1812. The Chairman of this committee, who made the report, we notice hails from Maine.. This would indicate that tbe old prejudice against the war in New En land; has aot died out, bnt there is a determin ation to continue the opposition manifested at the time of the war as long as one of the sol diers who took part in it livcar The report of the committee is not Only unjust, but in view of the fact that Congress ia appropriating mil lions of dollars for the negroes, it is an outrage. There are very tew soldiers who participated in that war living, and most of them are in needy circumstances, and they are tbe only class of patriots whose services have never been rocog ni&u. It wonld require only an appropriation of a few thousand dollars, and it should be granted without any further ceremony. . It is a good sign that the report met with considera ble opposition, and we trust that Congress will reverse the action of the committee, and give to these old soldiers tbe pension which they do- l aergsvfor many of 1hem never received a cent j C i .. . .
