Recorder To tha Jople ofXibrU- Carolina : ;The ConYcnUon which met under the ReconJ Btruction acts of Congress, to iorm a Constitu- Hon "republican In form" for the State cf North! Carolina, preparatory to its re-ad mmlssion into the Union, have finished their labors, and now! present th Cdnsti tntion to the people ot the' State for their ratification. Th undersimedl have been appointed to prepare a brief statement of its most Important provisions and of the principal changes which have been made in the former system of government. 5 , - i . ' - ' ; TUB SIIX OF BIGHTS '. states clearly 'the general and essential prin-. cipie oi UDeny ana good government," and Bctuics mciu , uj, aui me Eueguaras wmcn ex-; penence can suxrgest. xixe great change introdu-1 ccd by this Bill of Rights Is, that it removes every argument on which, the doctrine of the right ol secession has been advocated, and se cures forever the integrity of the Union pnd the peace and prosperity of the United States. To the Union-loving people of North-Carolina no defence need be made for the bold assertion of this great principle. , : ; ; In the Executive Department the" changes appear to be much greater than'they really are. The names ot some officers have been changed, and instead- of being elected by the General Assembly as heretofore, the choice of these high! agents ot the people's will is given directly to the people. This is in conformity with the ac- Knowieagea principles oi itepuoncan govern ment. But two officers have been created. 1st. Lieutenant Governor. - The necessity for this officer to supply the place Of the Governor, in case of a vacancy in his o fiice, was so aprarent that it was provided for in the proposed Con stitution of ISKi. No additional expense ia in curred, as he will receive no pay, except while acting as Governor or presiding over the Senate. 2nd. . A Superintendent of Public Works. A proper qare of the interests of the Stafe in the great and expensive public works in which it is engaged renders such an officer manifestly ne cessary. It isa measure of economy. The State has lost hundreds of thousand of dollars hereto for for want of the watchful attention which this officer yah give to the expenditure of the public money on internal improvements Under the heads of the Legislative Depart ment and Suffrage andEligibilitz to Office, the changes which will challenge attention is the giviDg the right to vote and bold 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 no return - to tke Union, no escape from the hopeless ruin whjehpis inseparable from a con tinuance in our present unnatural condition! But apart from this .convincing reason, reflect ing men must see that a prudent regard for the wjelfare-of 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, and to expose their lives for its defence in war, should, be al lowed a full participation in 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.-. .. - t , ... While giYing sufirage to the colored people, the Convention has,notbeenso inconsistent with itself, and with the great principles of Re publican govermnc&tj as to deny, it to any por tion Of tho! whiter. lt is au undeniable monu ments o the wisdom,? and equity, ?and magnan imity, of the Union people of North Carolina, that in three years ter s the- close : of. a blood y and devastating civil war, in whichr wrongs ; and outrages .were eudured that can iiever be ibrgo,- lcu, wc uii i.i.rtui.vA a vuucutuuuu,! 1U UiUll not a trace of animosity or vindictiveness can be found; in which the wrong of the past are ig nored for the sake of the, peace of the future, and all who are now true to their country, are invi- ica to participate in its govcrnmenu auch wise lorocarance is certain oi us rewara m tne ai proval of reflecting men now, and of all posterity l ms may be" the proper place to , speak ot a charge, which has been freely made against this Constitution, by those who have never seen it, and have determined to defeat it, be it what it may. The charge is,lthat it favors the social equality of the races. : It is untrue, nothing can be found in the constitution looking in that direction. With the 6ocial intercourse of life. government has nothing to do ; it must be, left to the taste and'ehoice of each individual. Some person has been so bold or so ignorant as to allege, that white and colored peo ple are required to be enrolled in the same mil- tia COmoanV- and Wllit.ft and rnlrrrfl liilrlren tf. atteud the same Bchools, and that intermarriages Deiween me races are encouraged ary will be at once a place for the repression of crime, and a school : lor teaching the useful arts' to those who are more unfortunate ' than . crimi-l naL ' - - " ' ' ' . - People of North-Caroling ! such - is the Consti-i tution which we invite yon to adopt Read lt carefully, consider it calmly ; upon you and yours, will the consequences Of your decision fall, .Yon may not. appro veetery part ot it. - We cannot assert that His perfect jn every part. Ton must allow somewhat for the differences of opinion in4 evitable among, thinking men, and each man must yield something of his own views for the sake of harmony. , : If . you approve the general scope; and object of, the Constitution, vote to ratify it. Do not be misled by the unfounded denunciation of men heated by passion and reck less of consequences. I IT you adopt it, the gates' of the Union will be opened for our. entrance, we will once again enjoy the inestimable blessings of Constitutional "Liberty, and - may hope: for a eontinnance of peace and for a Vetnrn ot our for mer prosperity. With a climate and soil txhsurJ passed, with a people highly giftedby nature with intelect and virtue, the State of Norh-Car.: olina ought to be a great,' rich and happy State.?

No 2 Meets every Tuesday night. . J . YOPi. N. G. v . A. J. Yopp, Secretary. . Wc clip the following from the New York Journal of Commerce. The author5 is not unknown to us, nor - the fact that' be is, as he states "thoroughly conversant with the whole subjects of North Carolina State finan ces." The statements, made by him are facts, and we challenge contradiction. ; The ability and disposition of North Carolina' to pay the interest on her public, debt has been shown by: the unanimous .vote of her Convention,' and will fornrapart of herfJon stitution,ithe financial rjrovisions j of .which are, given below t - . I, 1 ; The Debt of North Carolina; u To the Editors of the Journal of Commerce- j , The writer has noticed ' with not a little surprise several recent, articles in the public press reflecting;, unjustly, as . he ; conceives, upon the credit of the Sttt 3 of "North Caro: linav y , . . j ' Prominent among these is a communica tion published in the Journal of Commerce a few d ays since, and signed " Constant Reader,1' in which the; impression is given that the debt of the State amounts to (he large sum of $27,300,000. v Another article of a similar character is published in the Raleigh Sentinel, and telegraphed to the As sociated Press, which makes the debt ot the State to be $19,466,500, but figures out the amount to be raised by taxation the coming year to be $2,600,000. ' . . , ; Now the writer of the present article wish es to premise that he has no interest what ever in North Carolina bonds or North Caro lina credit, and personally it is a matter of indifference whether her securities and cred it risq or fall. He is, however, thoroughly conversant with the whole subject of North Carolina State finances, and he deems it but due to the public to correct some of the er roneous impressions which these articles are calculated to produce. ' ? X?i7t-;i . Now what is the public debt of the' State of North Carolina? The public Treasurer on 29th of January states the debt, inciud- inj' ouistauaing unu. : uupaiu iniercbt, w uu $15,238,070. ! ; : K This statement wc accept as final as to the amount of the actual debt. . : ! -But th'cre are also what the Treasurer calls contingent liabilities. . .And it is by adding these to 1 the actual ' debt that conflicting statements as to the amount of the debt have arisen. , , ' 'V. Th sum total of these contingent liabilities is between 4 and ,5 millions. The t extreme limit authorized is $4,882,000 which cannot be exceeded, and Will in all reasonable4 proba bility be greatly reduced. , " - These contingent liabilities embrace con ditional grants to railroad companies under former acts of legislation and under the or dinances' of Lthe recent convention. They amount to iust this : When the conditions are to oe as with that is whfin r.pf rain roads are constructed up to a certain stage and have executed a first mort gage to the State, then they will be entitled, to call for a certain amount of State bonds. This mav never be done ffor some roads So much for the ability As to the dis position," no better evidence caii be furnish ed than the action of the late Convention. ' Indeed, it -was after a .complete canvass of the whole subject that they incorporstcd into the ; Constitution, by a vote almost nnanimoustbose financial provisions which are so justly entitled to command the: con fidence of.the public. z i . i . , - These provisiohs, be it remembered, : are hot mere legislative enactments, subject to be changed or ighdred by succeedinsr legis latures, as one tparty or ' another may come into power, , but they are incorporated into the organic law, by. which , all subsequent legislative1 bodies, however composed, must be governed; ft 1 Z-' ' j- 1 ; .These -constitutional I provisions are - as follows: j H -' ,.; - ;;'-; - r lstThat the debt shall be inviolate, and never be questioned. - ' " J ; -' -2d That the-'Qeneral Assembly shall pro vide by adequate taxation i for the 'prompt and regular payment of the intgrest. , c-- 3d-That after. 1880, a specific annual tax shall be s teviedlo "create a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of the debt.;" 4th That the General Assembly shall hot have the power to loan; the f credit of the State for any new work without a direct vote of the people. I . 5th That until the bonds! of the State shall be at par, no new debt shall be creat ed, unless the bill creating the same shall lew a special tax to pay the . interest an nually, .i ; 6th By ordinance, that the" payment of mteresu snail Degin j anuary l, lmv. 1 These are the simple facts in .reference to North Carolina finances. We have no ad vice to give, either to holders or purchasers or sellers of North Carolina securities.' We venture the opinion, however, that while Tennessee bonds without back interest sell j for 66 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 per cent, back in- terest can oe oougut tor bu or 70 cents, or eyen a much higher figure.
