"Your interpretations of the raw, as un

To which Senator Wilsou replied as fol

As ninny ot our "business men and others

stato, for the information of all concerned,
that the section in question enacts, "That

Wo hare said that this was remarka
ble asscinlHnre. It eamo from the ar
people of the State, the patriot of the
Mountains, the hilt country and the sea
shore. Filled w(th a love tor "Union, Lib
erty, Bqnalttr," every sentiment enuncia
ted thrilled the heart with prolbund emo
tions. Never have we teen sacb harmony
ami enthusiasm before manifested upou
anv pnbllc occasion.
There is no necessity fbr exaggeration.
We state facts, and deny succossful eontra
dirtion. '
From the first to the last hour of its ses
sion, the greatest order prevailed in tbo
Hall amid deb-gates aud beholders, with
one exception among the latter- almost too
slight tor notice. And especially dW tbo col
ored people of our city exhibit intense m
terct in and appreciation of all Its proceed
ing. New to them as these thing were,
no undue manifestations of "joy were al
lowed to mar tbe duooruui of tbe butlr,
while upon proper Occasions they append
ed with unmistakable satisfaction the pa
triotic utteranoes of the different gentle
men who addressnd the Convention, In
"the words of Mr. Harris, wo warn nil dem
agogues not' to mn the ignorant ticket
upon the faith of the colored m tin's cre
dulity, unless they desire to go doWu before
them inglorioasly. It is now a fact, evi
dent to the whole world, that their iutcHi
genee far exceeds the circumstance of
thetr Ibnncr condition, and as a component
art f the loyal jKtode of North tVfolina,
we cheerfully confide the prosperity ami
gtorv ofo rr State to their keeping.
Tlie Conventiou was all able body. Itt
oflherV wore loyal men who'biul come out
of .he fuitince of rebellion w hlilio smelUd'
treason upon their'irurnient. Its speakers
jt lioth races grapple! wrth the live qncrt
tions of the hour. There was no evasion
or 8ubterfuge: all their language was plain
aud unmistakable. There wi-re few young
men present the ninjoritr bein; middle
aged, or arrived at that time of life when
irray hair ure crowns of honor to lives
well-spent. It was a body, takinc it nil in
ull, wherein the utterances of second-sober
thought were more imprcssiyx and more
respected than more sentiments of prciyu
diea or passion,.howovcr popular or time
honored. We were specially impressed with the
bearing and address of Messrs. Harris;
Hood, Brodie', Leary, Miller and others
Among tbe colored delegates both in com
mittee aud open Convention ; and of Messrs.
Thomas, Ileaton, Sloan, Carter Settle,
