WILMINGTON. N. C.. FEBRUARY 4 L868.
Republican State Conrcntion.
By -direction of the Republican State
Committee it is hereby 7 announced " that a
Convention oMhe Republican party oi North
Carolina will be held in the city of Raleigh
on Wednesday 1 the 1 ZCth clay of February,
1 1868, to nominate candidates To State offices,
and to perform "such other duties as may be
deemed advisable. ; 'f;:-1'
The Republicans pi the State are earnestly t
requested to take immediate steps to ap
point delegates to y the t Convention; Let
every part of the State be represented. It
is expected that State ' officers, members of
Congress, members of the State Legislature,
and county officers will be elected on the
1 day on which the Constitution is submitted
for ratification. Let the Republicans ot the
State rouse themselves to the great work
i before them.r Let them unite as one man to
secure the ratification ot the Constitution
I and the election of loyal men to all the
offices, arid thus render certain the restora
of the State to the Federal Union, v
W.W.HOLDEN,
Chairman Rep. State Committee.
We liave published in full to-day the de
bate on the expulsion of a reporter for the
North Carolinian who, folio wing in the foot
steps of the (so-called) "White mans party"
organs throughout the State, who devote
the greater portion f their space to abuse
of the delegates to the Constitutional Con
tention, abused his privilege to such an ex-.
tent that some mark of disapprobation was'
necessary. He was therefore expelled. It
is a fit termination to the career of that new
fledged reporter who' may learn somewhat
sooner than he otherwise would, that U was
his place to report roceedings and let his
master furnish the malignity, hold ; up hon
orable mea to ridicule and prate about honor,
-a3 the Chinaman does when he pronounces
all but his favored race, "barbarians." ,
A reporter is assigned a seat in that body
by courtesy! as he well knows, and he must
conduct himself respectfully or the courtesy
will be withdrawn. The freedom of the
press has not been , interfered with," in the
least. The Carolinian cau add a . picture of
a soldier to its columns over its partisan re
port, as does the little Star it it chooses, and
no one will complain. No cue, cares what
it says or does, in its columns, but every pub
lic as well a3 private body has the right to
protect itself from! insults j within Jlits walls,
and all candid minds, after reading the re
port of the debate, will add "served him
right." " v -3 r v ,y;:H-.
Constitutional .Convention.
f From the Raleigh Standard.
; ' -. Tuesday, Jan, 28th, 1868.
- The question was on Mr. Durham's mo
tion to strike out the offices of Lt. Govern
or, Superintendent of Public Works, ' and
Public Instruction.
Mr. Forkner moved to adopt the whole
section, which not being in order, was with
drawn, and the amendment of Mr. Durham
lost o. " -. :-
. Mr. Heaton moved to increase the term of
office for the Auditor, three years, after Jan.
1st, 1869, and also that' officers first elected
under this Constitution shall take their seats
in thirty days' atter its adoption, and serve
two years from Jan. 1, 1869.
Mr. King, of Lenoir, moved to rise and re
port' progress. He was opposed to sessions
of trie committee of the whole. All. that
was done here, would have to 1 be gone over
in Convention. If this plan was kept up,
the Convention would be here until the 4th
of July. All the reports should go on the.
calendar and be taken up in regular order.
Now the Convention was only marching up
hill to march down again. He wished to
save time, and get at some practical results.
Mr. Abbott said he t( wished to' stop
this interminable talk. Two days nearly
had been spent on frivolous matters.- But
he would suggest to the gentlemen that this
matter be left to float another day, and see
what would then be done.
Mr. King, of Lenoir, withdrew his motion,
. when "y'ry-." Vf"V: " V
Mr. Ashley moved to amend Mr. Heaton's
amendment to make the term of all officers
three years, which was accepted. ?
On motion of Mr. Heaton, instead of the
words thirty days after their .election,' was
inserted "acceptance of this Constitution by
Cong;ress7---making the terra of first officers
to begin at that time.
Mr Tourgee offered a substitute incorpo-
rating Mr. Heaton's amendment and term ot
office tor two years from Jan. 1st, 1869.
Adopted. - ' , -
Mr. Rodman moved to strike but "two
jears," and insert "four years.1' .
Mr. Candler raised, the- point of order,
that this had been settled. Not sustained,
wnen tne amendment was put and lost. -The
first section, providing for a Govern
' ori-Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State,
Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Pub
lic Works and Superintendent of Public In
struction, with terms of two years to begin
January 1st, 1869 ; the first officers to take
their places on the acceptance of the consti
tution by Congress, was then adopted.
The second section was then taken up pre-
scnoing quauncaiions ior uovernor.
An Amendment was offered making a citi

to strike Out the provision limiting the Gov

it was put and carried. .....
Section 4 was adopted, when section 5
was read, providing for an Adjutant-General.
Mr Jones, of Washington, tnoved to strike
1 rf-! - 1 A 1
out section 5. He desired to leave: the entire
matter to the Legislature. There was no
use of so many offiaera. When he. was col
onel, he did the business himself,' and it was
very light indeed. ' -
Gen. Abbott said the colonel had an Ad
iutant nevertheless. He had been Adjutant
Gen. ot xiew. Hampshire at one time, and lie
knew that it was impossible to have an effi
cient militia without an Adjutant-General,
and the Governor should have the appoint
ment of that officer. ,
Mr. Heaton said that this section gave
the Governor
unlimited power to appoint
. . i r . .
anv number of staff officers. To his mind
it presented a formidable picture. He knew
that the militia had done good serviye, and
was often as faithful and staunch as the re-'
gulars in 1 its services. If the power of the
Governor was properly modified, he had no
great objection to this section.
The section j was stricken out, and the ap
pointment of Adiutant General thus left to
the Legislature.
Section 6 ' was read. General Abbott
moved to amend, so - that at times when
necessary the militia should be paid. He
said an j occasions of encampments, &c, it
might be deemed advantageous. - Adopted
Mr. Graham, of Orange, moved to strike
out the 7th section. ! -
Mr. Bryan said this section gave. the Leg
islature power to make : necessary laws for
the government' of the militia. If this is
stricken out, another must go in. - There are
also persons, who should be exempted from
military duty and this section gives the Gen
eral Assembly that power.
Mr. Graham, of Orange, said the whole
of this po wer was Conferred by 2nd section.

Mr. Galloway, bolding a copyot the Car
olinian in his hand, called , up the resolu
tion in relation to Reporters. He said that
insults were in its columns towards mem
bers, and he uesired to know if it. had a
Reporter on this floor, who was responsible ?
Delegates were called Sniggers. " He.direc-

Mr. Harris, of Wake, said it should be

that paper here or not.. Indeed, he cared but
little- whatrwas said of himself. From his
childhood up, he had come in jcontact with
the white gentlemen1 of North-Carolina.
There is none of; that kind here, or elsewhere,
who would endorse the words or sentiments
of that papers. Long since he had learned
that to contend with a blackguard was to
place yourself on a level with hi,ni. He in
tended, to do no -such thing. -It- was not
usual, even, in the days of slavery, to hear
gentlemen or ladies , use such , langu

North, and taken from the copperheads. It

the language, but for the intent to insult
He had been credibly informed Ithat the
same paper, soon after the election, had
announced the election of one

seven "nigsers" and thirteen
white men.
But nothing surprised him thatcauie - from
suchsources. As for himself, he could only
say let tne dirty DiacKguard howl.
Mr. Ashley said the Reporter of the Caro
linian, on the floor f to-day, had informed
him that he did not make the report in the
paper io-aay. it was compiieairom others,

Mri Hood said he hoped the suggestion of

his own part, if he met a big dog m i the

Gen. Abbott said that he did not care for

Reporter must be expelled.
Mr. Durham isaid he must protest against
the infamy of such proceedings.
Mr. Holt r said he too protested against
them. ! !
ft r. Ashley said that when he had made
the disclaimer for the Reporter of the Caro -
Imian, be thought that he was not the author
of the abominable and malignant reports in
that naoer. The man that made them has
a heart as black as the devil's,1 and the'men
who sustainedjare unworthy of a seat upon
this floor, where decent men are assembled.
Let the President expel him. A sense ot
justice impelled him to say that it was re-

The President again called tor the notes
of the Reporter which had been handed to
him. I - .
The Reporter,; objected. He said they
were only rough notes. :
Mrl Ashley protested against any man be-

The Reporter retired
Mr. Durham said he protested against
this action. Tpe members of the press had
a right to designate these proceedings i s
performances if they wished to. It t was an
unwarranted assumption of power to influt
injury upon thie honest press pf the country.
If the Reporter had been of opposite poll
tics, he would not have been banished. He
solemnly protested not only in the name of
the Reporter, but in the name of the press.
If the press is not allowed to criticise how
can .the people Know truly what is done
here ,? How can the iniquity which which
is going on here, be exposed ? He did nt
protest against the action ot- the.Presidenf.
Under the resolution he had a -right to ex
pel. But he did protest against the action
of the Convention.
Mr. Galloway said the gentleman had pro
tested against the advance of the Union
army, but failed to do anything.
McDonald, ot: Chatham, said he was not
in favor ot gagging the press. Every dele

not uepublican to gag the press. He was
opposed to the whole proceeding. ,

the Reporter were; the moat infamous thing
that he ever read. They may never appear
in print. But the Reporter had admitted
that they were disrespectful,' that he ought
to be expelled and wanted to be. The Presi
dent had exercised the prerogative conferred
upon htm, and expected the delegates to
stand by him. It may not b the last Re-
