J W.J j-i;. f ADDRESS OF MESSRS, RODMAN AND GAHAGAN. 1 1- TolhaliopofJorUhCkina: , ; .Thib Convention which met under the ' Recon struction acta of Congress," to lorm a Constitu tion "republican in form' for the State Cf North; Carolina, preparatory to its rc-admmission into the Union, hare finished their labors and nowi S resent the Constitution to the people ot the tatc for their ratification. Th undersigned: have been appointed to prepare a brief statement of its most t important ; provisions , and of the principal changes which nave been made in the former system of eovernment. ' V THE BILL OF BIGHTS . states dearly 'tho general and essential prin-' cipleof liberty and good goTernment,V and. secures them ''by all the saleguards; which ex4 penencc can suggest, lhe great change mtrodu-f ccd by this .Bill of; Rights is, that it removes every argument on wmcii the aoctrine of th nghrof secession has been advocated, and vuiva iorever me integrity oi- tne union pnaand peace and prosperity of the United States To the Union-loving people of North-Carolina no defence need be made fox-t&e bold assertion of' An LUC JliXXCUTrVErllEPAKTMENT the rJiann-ps appear to be much greater than they really are. The names ot some officers haveJieen changed, and instead i of being elected yoy the General Assembly as heretofore, the choice of these high agents ot the people's will isgiven directly to the j people. This is in coMormity with the ac4 knowledged principles t Republican govern ment. Bat two officers Jiave been created. 1st; Lieutenant, Governor The necessity for ; this officer to supply tlielace of the Governor, in case of a vacancy innis o ffice, was so apparent that , it was provided for in the proposed Con stitution of 1855 No additional-expense is In curred; as he Will receive no pay, except while acting as Governor or presiding over the Senate! 2nd. A Superintendent, ofPublic . Works. A proper carjeT of the interests of the State in the great andexpensive public works in" which it U engagcd'Tendersrsuch an officer manifestly! ne cessary. It is a measure-of economy. The State has. lost hundreds of thousand of dollars hereto; or Want of the watchful attention which this officer win ffive to tne expenditure of thu ouDlie oney on internal improvements ' - Under the heads - of the Legislative Depart- mbst and Suffrage and Eligibility to Office; uie cna&ges wmcn , win - challenge attention is the giving the right to vote and hold office to all the male inhabitants - of the State, . without re gard to race, color or previous condition. This change was inevitable- Without it there can be iiO' return to. the: Union, no escape from the hopeless ruin which is inseparablo from a con tinuance , in i our: present unnatural condition. But apart from this convincing reason, reflect ing men must see that a prudent regard for the welfare o both races and for the peace and har mony of society required the extension of the great privilege .of voting to the colored people, and just men. must admit that all who are expec ted to bear their share of the manifold-burdens of the government at 'all ' times, andto expose Uieix lives for its defence in war, should be al lowed a full participatioru4n Its direction. To refuse this right to any "class of the people would be to continue slavery in a modified form; a course too abhorrent to the spirit of the age to be permitted:. ; - ; , While giving sufirage to the colored people, f the ConTcntion has not been 60 inconsistent! with itself, and with thegrcat principles of Re publican government, 4 as to deny it to any por tion of the whites, it is an undeniable mon Ur mcnt to tne wisaom, ana equity, and magnan imity, of the Union people of North Carolina,' that in three years after the 'close of a bloody and devastating civil war, in which wrongs and outrages were endured that can never be forgot ten, they have framed a Constitution, in which riot a : trice of animosity -or- vindictiveness can be found; in which the wrong of the past are ig nored for tire sake of the-peace of the future, and all who are now true to their country, are invi ted to participate in its government. Such wise forbearance is certain ot its reward in iSxe ap proval of reflecting men now,' and of all posterity) This may be the proper placet to speak of a charge, which has been freely made against this Constitution, by those who have never seen it, and have : deiermined to defeat it, be it what it may. The charge is, that it favors the social equalityVof the races. ...It is untrue, nothing can be found in the constitution looking in that direction. With the social . intercourse of - life, government has nothing to do ; it must? be left to tne lasie ana euoice oi cacu muiviuuai. I 8om:perSOn has been SO bolder SO ignorant as to allege, " that white and colored Tinn- Die are required to be enrolled in the samc mil- tia company, arid white and coTored children to attend the same schools, and that intermarriages Hjetween the races are encouraged. All these as sertions are false, as any reader or the constitu tion will see. All these matters are left now, as they were by theproposed-Coiislitutioi of 1865. to be regu lated by the representatives of the people in ilu General Assembly. Any one who denies the propriety of thus leaving them both impeaches the wisdom of our ancestors and distrusts the people of the fu-; The attempt to excite a false prejudice on these subjects.

Experience will soon I demonstrate that the charges made in this branch bf the government taken altogether, are of ercat value. Some may doubt the "propriety of f electing judges by the people, li ine people - select wisely, no narm can possibly result. The , abolishment of the County Courts, rendered necessary a small in crease in the number of judges of the superior Courts; and it may be charged that thereby the new system will be more expensive than the old. we nave considered this well, and we connuentiy assure the pople of North Carolina, that if the General Assembly Shallearry out in good faith 1 tne meaoi tne convention, tney wui save nun- Ureda of thousands of dollars everv vear. bv the increased despatch, cheapness and certainty of the - - - . w W administration of justice. , We confidently invite the approval of the .people to this part of the constitution, jt will stand the test ot experience, And be more valued with every year ot its v' 4 COUSTT GOVERNMENT. : TheRepublican principle of local self-govera- j mentl which has been so fertile a source of good effects in the Ndrth-Eastern and North-Western States, has been applied to tne auminisirauon o i the local aflaira of counties and town-ships.

Prominent among these is a communica ¬ tion published" in the Journal of Commerce a ; tew days since, and signed "Constant Reader," in which the impression is given that the, debt of the State amounts to the large sum ot $27,300,000. Another article ofj a similar character is published in the Raleigh Sentinel, and telegraphed to the As sociated Press, which makes the debt bt thc the Now the writer of the present article wish es to premise that he has no interest what ever in North Caralipabbndsr North Caro- . : . nit !.. i i ! v - . una cretin, anc personally it is a matter ot injdifference whether her securities "and cred it rise or fall. He is, however, thoroughly conversant with the whole subject of North Carolina btate nuances, aud he deems it but due to the public to correct some of the er roneous impressions which these articles are calculated to produce. Now what is the public debt of the State Of- North Carolina? The public Treasurer on 29th of January states the debt, includ- $15,23870;- ii ;i fitllf;;.' This statement we accept as final as to the amount of the actual debt. But there are also what the .Treasurer, calls contingent liabilities. And "itis" by adding these to the actual debt that conflicting statements as to the amount of the debt have arisen. The surd total of these contingent liabilities is between 4 and 5 millions. The extremo limit authorized. is $4,882,000 which cannot be exceeded, and will in all reasonable proba- hilitv hp rrrpatlv rpflnrpxl 1 Thpsp. ?nt.inornt liabiHfirs rmhrnop nnn ditioaal grants to railroad companies under iornier acis i legislation ana unaer tne or dinances of the recent convention. "They amount to iust this : When the conditions upon which these , liabilities are to be as sumed j have, been; complied with that is when certain roads are constructed up to a certain stage, and have executed a first mort gage to the Statey then they will be. entitled This may never be done '(for some roads have bad this nriviletre for veara or it mav be done 1 or 5 or 10 years hence.

Caroliha bonds are grcaiiy cuuaiiueum vaiue. i Ana until, tuese conditions are compuea with; the State of North Carolina incurs no increase of indebt edness, vi Again, in these contingent liabilities are reckoned the Staters indorsement of $1, 000,000 (not 1,500,000 as stated) of the W. 0. & K. It. K. Co. It is unnecessary to state to anv one familiar with the conditions of j that indorsement and the condition ot that road, that there is not aj remote probability! ol the estate jever Demg called upon to pay a dollar y virtue of said indorsement. The statement that only $ 750,000 issued to the" Western N. C. R. is included in. the publioTreasurcrl statenient aiid the addi- cionai item oi o,uuo,uvu uj wmcu iiie ueut is rolled up to more than $27,000,000, are Durcly linasnnative. , , , , . , , . rne joentmei ty grpupinff ueot anu , con tingent liabilities iogether, makes the debt amount to $19.46G.500. It then states that the interest due on this July 1, 1869, will be. $851,000. The simplest, arithmetic shows that even, if the debt were (as it is not) ; a round $20,000,000, and a whojs 6 montb.9 interest were due July 1 1. 18G9i upon the 1 whole amount the sum reauired would be $000,000, and not $851,000. JNow the two important questions per taining to the state credit are these: First Has North Carolina the ability to pay the interest upon her state debt: and second Has she disposition?,: t , - We maintain that: upon neitherl of these noints can there be any reasonable doubt. The public Treasurer jrocs into a careful estimate of this whole subject, and after de ducting from the 1860 census valuation j of the state, $200,000,000 for loss of slaves, and deduction on the most liberal scale for other losses aud depreciations, he considers. at a low estimate, the present value of the property of the state to be $250,000,000. This is in fact only one half the census valuation of I860. Now a 4 mill tax npon this will pay the interest on $15,000,000, and leave $100,000 over. A 5 mill tax will more than pay the interest on , $20,000)00. No one need be told that ibis is not an onerous tax. The New York state tax for the present year is about eight (7 4-5) mills. rif u ce a piace for the repression of toRSni8?01 teaching the ue&d tarts tothosc who are more unfortunate tbapcrimi- SrefSlv Vit? ytt t adopt Read it Sif XT? consider it calmly ; nponyou and yours : wiu the consequences ol your decision falL..

As to - the 'dis position; no better evidence can be furnish ?d than the action of the late Convention, Indeed, it was after a ."complete canvass of the whole subject ' that i they incorporated into" the'' Constitution, by a ?ote. almost unanimous, those financial provisions which are sp justly entitled to command the - con-' fidence of the public. " -' These provisions, be it' remembered, ' are nbfmere legislative enactments, subject to, be changed' orighorcd. by succeeding s -legist Jatures, as. one party, or . another may come into, po wer, , but they are incorporated into thevorganic. lawj by which ! all subsequent legislative bodies, however : - composed, must be governed. ' ; ; . . :; :; i - :t ThesQ constitutional provisions arc as follows: , : : v; v; .;-; 1st That the debt shall be inviolate, and never be questioned, i zr- '' -tf r-I-I V .:r 2dThat the GencrarAsscmblyUalrpro-I vide by adequate taxation .for ; the prompt and regular payment of the interest. ' . I , 3dThat after 1880 a specific annual tax shall bo levied to create a sinking ' fund for the payments the principal of the debt. ? . . .4th That,the General Assembly Shall not have the power to loan the credit of the State for any new work without a direct vote of the people. . ' -5th That until the bonds ef the State shall be at par, no:new debt shall be create cd, unless the bill creating the same shall levy a -special tax to pay 1 the interest m-f nually. ' :' '. " ; f i ' Cth--By ordinance, that the payment of interest shall begin January X, 1869. V , . These are the simple facts in reference to North Carolina finances, n We have no " ad vice to give, either to holders or purchasers or sellers of North Carolina securities, v We venture the opinion however, that ; while Tennessee bonds without back interest , sell for GG the State debt being between $33, 000,000 and $35,000,000 and while Mis souri bonds without back inter est sell at 86, the State debt being $23,000,000, the time is rapidly drawing to a close when North Carolina bonds with 13 J percent, back in terest can be bought for CO or 70 ' cents or even a much higher figure.
