WILMINGTON POST. WILMINGTON. V. C. JANUARY 23 1868. ImmifTation. J Many of the Kortli Carolina papers are urging imniJgraUoji one column -and de iiictincr the horrors of starvation in another, all in the same issue.

The German come3 to this country to oicn a home and he will go where lantU are cheap and where labor is not degraded, not'to a land where the present laborer is flying for want of work. The german is a free thinker and will not bc7 dictated to by his employer. Planters and others in this country hate re fused in many instances to employ men who voted the Republican ticket. Do they ex pect to control Germans in the same way ?

" 'f Constitutional Convention Special Correspondence of the Post. THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. ACTION IN REIi ATl ON TO RiiPonTERS. ; Committees, Resolution, Debates, &c. The press throughout the State have ex pressed such general dissatisfaction at the action of the delegates from this county j in the matter of reporters, that we have con--cluded to publish the debate in full. We do this at a partial exclusion of our usual variety of news, in order that our readers may thoroughly understand the position taken by these gentlemen. Ed. Post. : On Th'ursdav, the Convention assembled- in the Commons Hall at - 10 o'clock, Mr. President Cowles in the chair. i ! Prayer by Rev.G. W. Welker, delegate from Guilford. The journal of yesterulay was read and ap proved i r On motion of Mr. Mann, of Cumberland, the order of Gen. Canby, No., 105, calling the Convention, was ordered to be entered on ihe journal of the first day's session.' The President announced the ' following committee "on the best method of proceed iner to form a Constitution." Messers. Nicholson,. Jones, of Washington, Heaton, Rodman, Dowd, .Harris, ot Wake, Tourgee, Cox, Abbott, Hood, Forkner, Hobbs, Jones, of Caldwell, Bradly, Gaha gan and Garrett. The following committee was also an nonunced "os rules of order :" ; Messers. Sweet, Galloway, Pool, Graham of Orange, and Fullings. The following delegates appeared and were sworn in : , , Messers. Bakar, of. Edgecombe, Will iams, of Sampson, and Garland, of lancey. unfinished- business Thejunfinisheb business of yesterday' was ' then taken up, it being the motion of Mr. Abbott, of New Hanover,io refer the reso lution of Mr.; Pool, of Pasquotank, on the subject ot legislation. On motion of Mr. French, ot Chowan, the resolution was refered to the committee of sixteen, appointed this mornin Mr." Jones, of Washington, then olTeredtbc following resolution, which was adopted Resolved, That the President ot this Con vention invite the Ministers of the Gospel of this City to open the. sessions daily with prayer. . .' r i- ' - jj Read and adopted. !, RESOLUTION IN RELATION TO REroiiTEK!. Mr. Abbott, of New Hanover, offered the following resolution liesohed, That no reporters for auy newfj paper be allowed upon this floor, who treat the Convention or any of its members with disrespect, but that they shall, in case of of fence in this respect, be excluded from the floor of the hall and from the galleries by the President. ! Mr. A. said he offered this, resolution from a feeling of self-respect and because of the respect which he entertained towards all the other delegates. In one of the morning pa pers, a reporter had spoken of his colleague as "Gollovray, negro," The delegate froiR; Lenoir was denominated Mr. King. This difference was 'unusual, and iwhilc he did not desire to interfere with the editorial col umns of any paper, it was not right to per mit a reporter on this floor- who sought to cast obliquy upon delegates, or report the proceedings unfairly. ' Let a faithful account of what is done here be mven hv reuortoraj feHngs wonid not allow aim to sit still and see obliquy cast upon any delegate. He did not know any lopality where such a thing would occur outside these' unreconstructed States. It was owing doubtless to the fact that a new element had been introduced, into politics, and seventy- one thousand new voters were struggling into consideration and public respect against the fiercest opposi tion. He trusted the Convention would adopt this resolution, which was intended to cast a shield of protection over all equality.; Mr. Durham, of Cleveland, said he re grctted to see the introduction of this reso lution. While lie was in a hopeless minori ty, he could only protest against it. Such a resolution had not been Introduced in any Legislature of this State before this. On the third day of the session, one of the report ers of the press to be excluded ! He must protest against it And what was this to be done for ? Because the Reporter had called certain delegates negroes. Were they not negroes ? : ? ! Mr. Hood, of Cumberland, will the Gen tlemen allow me to ask him a question ? Mr;purham They can't deny the fact of being negroes. Do gentlemen intend to exr elude reporters for telling the truth ? Mr. Abbott, oi New Hanover said there was no intention to interfere with the liber ty .oi of the press, or with editors. While u"6 i uiojjuouiuu : w uuiiesque , tms j Convention, he desired to sec that Report ers should be required to treat all members epually with respect. Mr. Hood, of Cum berland had been denominated, "Hood, negro." He thought that all members should be spoken of respectfully, as gen tlemen occupying Honorable positions - in this Hall. : He did not intend to discuss the whole social vtiestion but all should be treated alike! respectfully. He also saw that the heading of proceedings of tliis Convention iu a Conservative naner: was printed "Convention so-called." That was objectionable. But this resolution treated of a graver matter. He Wished to stop the exhibition ot disrespect by any reporteb, evinced toward this body. . , Mr. uurham, ot Cleveland, said the des ignations given were because the people de sired to know how the negroes voted, Were they ashamed to be called bogroes ? He again protested against this resolution, in the name of the white, honest people of the State, tor it interfered with the liberty of the press, and for that a reporter was to be, excluded for calling a negro negro. ) Mr. Hood, of Cumberland, asked if the delegate desired an answer ? He could tell him it was doubtful whethe any ' one here present could tell where .the term, negro, came from. 1 !: Mr. Abbott, of New Hanover, said that he was1 not intolerant he did not intend to interfere with the liberty of the press. He had been informed that tBe editors of the paper in question, were personally estimable men. ixe uesireu a iree report of th pro- ceeuings oi mis ooay, but as much , as he aesirtKi tuis, such a report should be fair and exhibit due respect towards every delegate. . Mr. Hodnett, of Caswell, said reproach was sougm u oe mrown on the reporter ?2&J2E2S, "r.1. " impartial. Thna p-irlw Tt WA one was lnsuuea, ootu were. he regretted to see euch a spirit as was evinc ed this resolution." Mr. AllotB of atfmvt TTftnorer. said if it was nrneRsarv in r!fsrrih ilftleates. why not say one was Yankees, another Irish, another baldhead, &c The whole matter -was ab surd and disrespectful. xHe did insist upon the passage of this resolution. - 4 . Mr, Hodnett, ot Caswell, said the report er had, actedimpartially. He was here :ta report me proceecungs xorine peujjic was here to tell how delegates voted, and he thought no one should be ashamed oi his color, if that method was used to show how he voted. He had been :- the mena the colored man. For twenty-eight years he had favored gradual emancipation, oxit there j were white people In Nortn-Larouua. r lMrl Sweet of f!rn.TOnf .all(d the deleffateS o order, upon this point that the question 11 At p m : Z '3 .LmaAQ is wnemer reporier3 snouia snow aeiea" the respect due them., f The President decided that the point was well taken. ' ' -j? MrJ Hodnett resumed. He said that no insnltha.fi rWen rast nn anv one. for the re porter had named both colois. I Mr. Hood, of Cumberland, interrupting the word, "negro." is no color. Mr. Harriss, of Wake, white is no color.; fLauffhter.! r ' MrJ Hodnett. the neonle demand and will have true reports of oroceedinffs. wish the reporters to state distinctly that there is tio fl5fferenr.fl here made in this re port between white and black. Mr. Ashley, of New Hanover, said that re porters were on this floor by courtesy. They should conduct themselves politely, .as if they were in a parlor. They might say what' they pleased outside of this Convention, but they ought to truly report what was said here. They were bound as gentlemen to speak; respectfully of every delegate, and he desired to see this matter settled at once: For when Republicans have a chance to manifest self-respect, under such assaults of the Conservatives, they ought and were de termined to do so.j He wished to hold every reporter strictly to the rue of cour tesy. ' .!:" Mr. Harris, of Wake, said he did not care whatj he was called himself. But Mr. Gallo way had bee called a negro. How is tbat ? He is more white than black. So was Mr. Cherry.' Another gentleman over the way might easily pass for a Spaniard. ! " : Mr. Rich, of Pitt, called the delegate to order--he should confine himself to the sub ject; ' Mr. Harris, ot Wake, said a remark had been made about slavery. New the colored people were not the only people that had been enslaved. History told another story from that. But he had no intention to ap peal to prejudice of any character. He de sired only a fair repprt to be made of what was done here, and respect shown to every man. i i 1 : Mr. Tourgee, of Guilford, deprecated the fact that this was becoming a party measure. It was a higher question. This resolution was meant to protect every delegate. Mr. Galloway, of New Hanover, said that all that was said, was said against thevnegro. He came here to help the poor white man, as well as the colored man, and to do justice to all men. A reporter speaking disrespect fully of the Convention should not be admit ted to the floor; He would vote to turn him out. But while lie said this, he meant to oppress no man. That was not his busi ness here. .'. i Mr. Durham, of Cleveland, arose to reply to the delegates from : New Hanover and Guilford. He had come here in a hopeless minority, but he expected to find a majority disposed to-act fairly. He would cite an instance. During the, last Legislature, Mr. Holden's paper had denounced members as rebels and traitors. No inthriatiou of ex termination or the expulsion of the report saimaunfair at the time, and now. It pursued,' this principle ot partv retaliation would ruin this Republic, as it had destroyed others. Mr. Abbott, of New Hanover, said when a member was elected he stood here as the peer of other delegates. This resolution simply "'recognized that fact.' He had no wish to.change the color of any one. But if the President was a colored'man, he would treat him, with the same respect, he liad trea ed the honorable President elect. A reporter was bound to do the same thing by all the laws of .courtesy and usage. As to Mr. HaldenVpaper he remembered that an ex pression about building a hell, had been once uttered upon this floor, and probably pro yoked sharp strictures. But that was not in discussion ; td-day. " It was a question whether this Convention would protect its members from insults or not- Mr. Welker, of Guilford, said this reso lution applied to all reporters. No distinc tion wos made. Dut it did not apply to the papers. Only that portion furnished to the papei by a reporter, was in question. The resolution did.no injustice whatever. Mr. Harris, of Wake, said the strictures in Mr. Holden's paper, referred to by Mr. Dur ham, were of an editorial and not reportorial character He remembered too in the last Legislature, white citizens had been threat- ened witli the pillory for favorin the pres- A ent reconsirucuon onis Mr. Moore, ot Granville, moved to lay the resolutiou on the table. Not laid on the table, yeas 21, nays 76. - Mr. Rodman, ot Beaufort, called tor-reading of thej resolution,- the question recur ring on its passage. Mr. Ellis, of Catawba, said there were two distinct races occupying the floor, and he saw no reason for expulsion, because the re porter siinply designated the races. ! Mr. Rich, of Pitt, said he had voted to lay on the table, though a radical Repub lican, not because he feared it was too much like muzzling the press, but because be wished to sec Conservatives pursue this course. It did his party good. X j Mr. Hood, of Cumberland, said he had no objection to being "designated, if done properly. ! But the term, negro, was r ; at for an insult. It was a word not fou :d in Scripture or modern history. He did not feel that the courtesy extended to je;iorters, ought to be exercised for the insult of dele gates. !.;.;' u.v Mr. Forkner, of Surry, said that under the adopted rules this discussion was out of or der, nor could the resolution be considered to-day, therefore he moved that the rules be suspeneded.
