H As the Conservative papers through out the State have failed to publish Judge Pearson's letter, I did notv re ceive a copy of the same until yester day, when a " triend handed me : the Standard containing it. "V 'p " I cannot recall another instance in the history of Nortli Garidina,. as a State, whed her highest j udicial digni tary so far forgot the propriety of his position as to descend into the politi cal arena a partizan champion, strip ped and girded, for the fight. ? Judge Pearson attempts to" excuse himself upon the plea that he is so far. removed beyond the frailties of ordinary- men, he canview dispassionately the subjects of the day, and, therefore, ia thepreaeniesTS, hia '8ilenee would, b criminaL llarihg, as he claims, the confidence of both parties what he says will he considered calmly as the advice of a friend having - no tndtive but the public good." - t' '" ' In the world's history tfew indeed have been the men who have occupied such a position ; it was perhaps yield ed to Washington in his Jast days, but in our -own time; 4 there; is tio man - in Europe or America to whom the puh lic would v concede it. " The' fact that Ju ige Pearson claims it for himself js the best evidence of the very high es timate placed upon him by the- Sage of Mocksyilleand cannot fail to etoke iri his behalf theprayer of Burns, for an over-conceited lady, unconscious of the insect upon her bonnet r 1;i V jqv -wad 'some power thegiftie gi'ous, ; ' J To see ouroel's, as itheta see us. - : f It ii true that ' be "was the nominee of bo th parties for the' position of chief Justice.- lie .was nommarea oy tne Conservatives in the 3 hope' that he would confine r himself to his judicial duties and give to"' the State the beii- tfit of. hisaw learning the" result is what many predicted, -f he betrayal of .i . .": , : ' -:. ..,. - : h?B6 vho naa watcnea tne course of Judge Pearson, ;from. the surrender until - the ljominatiort, had lost confi dence iri his public Integrity. ; The cas4 e3,":IIughe8 42rparevpi .ably.review'ed at-ftbetime' by your-. correspondent index, wherein he holds that the von- arttaAnrrnX unit ricrhrl vention, by a.

Whether the negro snail, or shall not, be deprived of the franchise, does not enter into it at all. ; The Conservative party &eek to bus, tain the fundamental principles of the Constitution, of the ; United States, whereby the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the t govern ment shall be. at liberty to exercise the poweri conferred upon them "by the Constitution, and aa designed by the framers of that instrument, that each shall be preserved from encroachments by either of the others. . -?

The fur mer 'seeV to sustain the Constitution as construed by the fathers of the Re publicthe latter seek to destroy that Constitution, and -tp give us in its place, a consolidated "despotisrh-the worst despotism .that jean be conceived the will cf a majority, of -.Congress. As to the negro, the. point is not wheth er he shall be.- allowed to .yote, ; hut whether the States as States shall be allowed to pass, upon that question for themselves. It does, not follow that, by the election of .Seymour and Bjair, the negro will be deprived of the fran chise. The election of those gentle men would be a declaration merely by the people of the United States that the States, and the States alone, should have the right of regulating the ques tion of franchise and all other1 inter nal questions, ! without being coerced to .observe the, will of the Congress of he United States. These.are the great issues before us issues upoa the;de-f cision of which the existence of. civil liberty, and the destinies 6f this coun try, depend. He who, with Judge Pearson, ignores , these great Issues and narrows them down a to. the mere question of J negro suffrage ao far from being followed .as ; a. monitor, should be regnrded as a political neo-! phyte, wholly; ignorant. of the momen tous .qne3tiona of the d ay. . - The Iloward Amendment, so recent ly engrafted on the .Onstitntion: of the -.United States, v concedea ZtQke States the power of regulating the question tof iulTrage for. themselves. Under that amendment -North Caroli na may qualify the suffi age as to both classes of her citizens, or she may ex elude the negroes. altogether from he right to yote.,. But the Radical party seeks to. destroy thi? power conferred by the Constitution; by a mere act of Congress, which t the ablest members of that party declared would be inop erative and void, but which, neverthe less, will be enforced by the usurp s tion of the legislative . department ..of sthe government should Grant and, Colfax be elected. - Against thi, C.onserya tives protest, but they do not, propose to effect anything by the aufdra they propose to; act by, through and nn2er, the Constitution of the United StatfS. ani according to its forms .to that sa cred instrument they urmeal," and t by 'that, as judicially . eonstf ue.d,'s they mean to stand.
