REVIEW OF THE CONSTITUTION.
ADDRESS OF
To tha Ttople of North- Carolina :
Tim Convention which" met under the Recon
struction acts of Congress, to iorma Constitu
tion "republican in form" for the State cf North
Carolina, preparatory to its re-ad mmission into
the Union, have finished their labors, and now
E resent the Constitution to the people ot the
tate .for their ratification. The undersigned
have been appointed to prepare a brief statement
of its most important provisions and of the
principal cnanges which have been made in the
former system of eovernment.
thbbill of rights
states clearly the general and essential prin
ciple of liberty and good government,' and
secures them by all the saleguards which ex.
perience can smrgest. The great change introdu
ced by this Bill of Rights is, that it removes
every argument on which the doctrine of the
right oi secession has been advocated, and se
cures forever the integrity of the Union nd 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 principl e.
In the -Executive Department the changes
appear to be much greater than they really are.
The names ol some officers have been changed,
and instead of being elected by the General
Assembly as heretofore, the choice of these high
agents ol the people's will is given directly to
tnc people. This is in conformity with the ac
knowledged principles of Republican govern
ment. But two officers have been created. 1st.
Lieutenant Governor. The necessity for this
officer jto supply the place of the Governor, in
case of a vacancy in ; his o flice, 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.
2n;4s t A Superintendent of Public Works. A
proper care-; of the Interests ot the State in the
great and expensive public works in which it is
engaged renders such an officer manifestly ne
cessary. It is a measure of economy. The State
has lost hundreds of thousand of dollars hereto
for for want of the watchful attention which this
officer will give to the expenditure of the public J
money on mternai improvements. . '
Under the heads of the Legislative Depart
ment and Suffrage and Eligibimtv. to Office,
the ;chans:es which will challenge attention is
the giving the right to vote, and hold office to all
ll . 1 f 1 . " i i. - f 4. l O X A il A.
uie maiu mu'iuiuiuLs ui tut; olulu, whuoui re
gard to race, color or previous condition. This
change was inevitable- Without it there can be
no return to the Uniop, no escape from the
hopeless ruin which i s inseparable from a con
tinuance in our present unnatural condition.
But apart from this convincing reason, reflect
ing men must see thata"prudent regard for the
welfare of both races and for the peace and har
mony of society required the extension of the
grjeat privilege of voting to tile 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 j
would bo to continue slavery in a modified form, ;
be permittea.! ' i -; . , ,
While giving suffrasre to the colored people.
the Convention! has? not; been bo inconsistent
with itself; apd withfthegreat-principles of Re
publican government "w as 15 deny it to any por
tion of the swMtea. , it is . an undeniable monu
mfent tp thcMdom anu equit,j and -inagnan-
imity ot the Unni people ot JNortH Carolina,
that In- three yeafs lifter the; ciose"of;a bloody
and devastating civil war, in which; wrongs and
outrages weTC endured that can hem be forgot
ten, they haye framed a ,Cohstltntion, ' in' w Inch
not a trace, of aulmpslty'orindicjtiyeiieBs be
found; in wmcn tne wrong 01; tne past are ig
nored for the sake of the peace of the future, and
all who are now true to thoir country, are invi
ted to participate in its government. Such wise
forbearance is certain oi its reward in the ap
proval of reflecting men now,' and of iili posterity
charge, Which has been freely made against this
Constitulionby .thoSo, who have never seen it,'
and, have ' determined to- defeat, it, be it what
it may. The charge is,1 that it favors the social
equality of the races. . It is untrue, nothing can
be found in the constitution looking in that
direction. .With the social intercourse of lifev
government ha nothing to : do ; it must be left
to the taste and choice-of each individual.
' Some person iias been -$ bold or so t ignorant
as to t allege, ? -tbat( Jwhite and colored peo
ple are required to lie enrolled in the same mil
tia company, and-white and colored children to
attend the same schools, and that intermarriages
between the races are encouraged. All these as
sertions are 1 false," as any reader of the constitu
tion will see. All these matters are left now, as they
were by the proposed Constitution of 18G5, to be regvr
latedbu the representatives of the veonle in the 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 iui
ture. .. .., ';':i-' ;:'? : t r- ' "- '
" The attempt to excite . a ; false prejudice on
these subjects, is made for partizan purposes it can
only tend to excite Ill-will between races that are
destined to live on tne, same son, ana ongnt to
live together in peace, and it should be irowned
down by every lover of the peace and prosperity
of the country,;:' 1"y;:'ii V ;.i r ;:'v

i The Debt of North Carolina. ! '
To, the Editors of tlie Journal of Comhicrce ,-' .. 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 State of North Carot
Una. r,-. :i. . ::c.'-'y .")': :.
' V Prominent among these is a- conimunica--tion
publisbed in the Journal of Commerce
a few days since,' and signed ' "Constant
Reader, in which the impression is given
that thd debt of the State amounts to the
lare siim of " $27,300,000. Another article
of -a siniilar chai-acter is : published in the
UzMgh Sentweli and telegraphed to the As-
oeia4ed Bresswhie
State tabe 19r466,50p, but figures but the ;
amount to praised bytaialii
year , to be $2,600,009 h 1 j5v -v ? rfir!.
Now the .writer of, the- present article wish
es to premise. that he has fio interest what-
ever in x(ortu Carolina uonas or;xorin Caro
lina credit,' and personally it is a matter of
indifference whether her seburities'iahd cred
it rise or fall. He is, - however, thoroughly
conversant with the whole subject of North
Carolina State hnances, and he deems it bnt
due to the public to correct some of the er
roneous impressions which, these articles arc
calculated .to produce, u ' : j u.,.. t.-Ti ;
Now what is the public debt of the State
of; North Carolina?? 'The public Treasurer
on 29 th of January slates the debt includ-
ing outstanuing anu unpaiu lniercsc, 10 oe
$15,238,070. .v.: 1
This statement we accept as final as to the
amount of the actual debt. ; ,' ' 1 I
But there are also what the Treasurer calls
contingent liabilities. And it is by adding
these to- the actuaP debt that conflicting
statements as to the amount of the debt have
arisen.,:. . . , .""'i ' .7 -' ' ' . :j
The sum total of these contingent liabilities
is between 4 and 5 millions. TheJ extreme'
limit authorized is $4882,000 which cannot
beexeedeandwiif in all reasonable pr61ba-
oiuiy oe greauy reaucecu ;
These contingent liabilities embrace con
ditional grants to railroad companies: under
gislation and under the or
dinances of 1 the : recent convention. Thev
amount to just this ;: When the conditions
upon which these liabilities ! -are, to be as
sume v 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 State, ( then they will be entitled
to call for a certain amount of State bonds.
This may never be done (for some roads
have bad this privilege for years) or it may
be clone 1 or 5 or 10 years hence. It certain
ly cannot be done to : any considerable ex
tent, a3 every one conversant with : the sub
ject knows, until North Carolina bonds are
greatly enhanced in value. And until these
Conditions are complied with the State of
North Carolina incurs no increase of indebt
edness. A . .. ' -i
'Again, in these; contingent liabilities are
reckoned the State's indorsement of $11
1 000,000 (not l;300.000 as stated) of the AV.
I C. & R. R. R. Co. 1 It is unnecessary to state
to anv one familiar with the conditions of
that indorsement and 'the condition ot that
road that there is not a remote probability
of the State ever being called upon to pay a
dollar by virtue of said indorsement,. !
mi -a a a 1 a 1 1 nr J
i i ne statement tuat oniy 4 4u,uuu issueu
to the Western N. C. Il.. is included in - the
public Treasurer's statement and the addi
tional item of $0,000,000 by which the debt
is rolled up to more than $27,000,000, arc
purey imaginativp.. ; ,
The Sentinel byi grouping debt : ana f con
tingent liabilities together, makes the debt
amount to $19,466,500; 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 fas it is not) a
round $20,000,000, and; a; whole 6 months
- ; . r - r--1
interest were due July 1, ; 1869, upon the
whole amount the sum required would be
$600,000, and not $851,000., . ,
How tne two,; important questions, per
taining to the state credit are these: First
Has North Carolina, the ability to pay .the
interest upon'ber state debt; and second-H
Has she disposition? '
OTo maintain that upon r neither of thesej
points can there be any reasonable doubt.' .
The publicTreasHirer goes into a careful
estimate of this whole subject, and after de
ducting frbnithV 1860 census valuation of
the state, $200,000,000 ' for loss :of I slaves,
and deduction on the most liberal scale ior
other losses and depreciations,' be' considers,
at a low estimate, the present value of the
property of the state to : be f $250,000,000:
i nis is in 1 act oniy , one nail tne census
valuation of 860. 4 Now'a 4 mill tax upon
this will pay the interest on $15,000,000, and
leave $100,00Q over. A 5 mill tax will more
than pay the :: interest oijr $20,000,000. " No
one need! be told that this is not an onerous
So much for tbc ability. As to the: dis
position, no better evidence can be hijnish--ed
than the action of the late Convention.
Indeed, it was after a complete canvass of
the whole subject that they, incorporated
into the t Constitution, by avTote almost
an?mnng thn finnr?f
are- so justly entitled to command the con
fidence of the public. - -; 1
.These provisions, be it remembered, I are
not mere legislative enactments, subject to
be changed or ignored by succeeding legis
latures, as one ; party or ' another may come
into 'power,1 but they are incorporated into
the organic law, by which . all: subsequent
legislative bodies, however composed, must
be governed.
" These constitutional provisions are n!as
follows: ' : r -
1st That the debt shall be inviolate, and
neiver be questioned. - -,
i j2d -That the General Assembly shall pro
vide by adequate tax'ation for the prompt
and regular payment of the interest ' 5"
J3d---That after 1880, a specific- annual tax
shall be levied to create a sinking" fund fforr
the payment of 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. 1
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
levy a special tax to pay the interest an
nually. , '- n -j t
6th By, ordinance, that the payment of
interest snau oegin January l, looy. 3
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
for 66 the State debt being between $33,
000,000 and $35,000,000 and while Mis .
souri bonds without back inter est sell at86,
the State debt being $23,000,000, the time
is rapidly drawing to a close When North
Carolina bonds with 13 per cent, back in
terest can be bought for 60 or 70 cents, or
tveiTa much higher figure. . Candok.
