We are anxious to know who suggested this particular selection of witneS-as to the char acter and political condition of North Carolina. " Besides Col. Brown, there is hardly any one, that -ny cil'zen of the State, -oi ot:r aequalntance; would have summoned to prove bis individual character. Tet they are sufficient to determine the momentous question of the right" of the State to representation In Congress. The "Rev. Mr. 8incla!r lost his connection with the Presbyterian dwell,, we had understood, ' by sentence of exclusion. His deposition would , make the impression that this was but the con sequence of his loyalty. Our information is, that politics did not enter snto the question, that it was an affa'r of moral and the dec alogue. He manifests au especial antipathy to the Clergy of that respectable denomination in the State. lie admits, that s'nee the war, lie lias heard some of the Ministers pray for "al1 in authority over us," Imt helms never heard them pray for "Ilia ExcdUinoj, 'the President" of ttit) United States." This, to him,is evidence of their disaffection. Who ever did hear a sensi ble man, Clergyman or Layman, insult Omnip otence by a parade" of earthly titles, when ae knowfedgitiff the insignificance of aH worldly tlnngs, and pray'ng" the divine bless'ng and for- :. giveneas ?

T Adjtnr it General Campbell thinks "some i htocrats about Raleigh w Ish for a monarchy,"; and, sltango to relate, this officer took it into h's head that Noi tb Caro l -ia was bound indi- 'dually for a pert of th'e Confederate debt. Be" tg asked what they wov'd do In regard-to. the Confederate debt, &a, he replies ; ".They would assume and pay that part of it for which they think the State of North CaVna respon- . sible. The State of North Carolina, I believe, endorsed some of the bonds. The debt is l-i ...snub a contVtion that t'lcy consider the State of North Caro'ina responsible for s pr t of it.

We repeal our admiration ot the impartial ! aid just testimony of Major Lawrence, who it " seems happened opportunely to be in Washing Ion, and was cited before the Committee at the' instance of Senator Reverdy . Johnson. And . . when Senator Iloward, ol Michigan",, who seems '- to have had special charge ot the State, found him representing the condition, ia a favorable light, "he inqui-ed of him how he happened to . be in Washington, and being answered that he f . was there on bis way borne, after an absence of five years in military service, ho inquired - , whether he bad not beea summoned before the - Committee by requestof Mr. Johnsori. We bad supposed that Mr. Johnonv being a member of the Committee, bad a right to Suggest witnesses j , as well a others, but the interrogatory brings that into question,.
