Mr Welker said it was with no purpose to interfere with another profession, that lie had introduced this resolution. He had la bored to promote kind feelings, and desired not to be misunderstood. There was scarce ly another bar in the whole country so ex ohiftivu as that of North-Carolina.

On motion, the Convention adjourned. The rebels of Alabama have changed their whole plan of campaign, and now resolve not to appear at the State election on the fourth and fifth of February, and to resort to every means to prevent the freedmen from voting trusting thereby to defeat the con stitution for want of a majority of those who have registered. Whatever may be the fate of the reconstruction lull which passed the House on Tuesday, nothing should prevent Congress from depriving these rebels of the great advantage of defeating Republican re construction simply by registering their names so as to make their absence from the polls count more than if they had squarely deposited their ballots against the constitu tion. That it was never the intention of Congress to clothe these desperate men with this double power requires no argument to prove. The House -bill now before the Sen will correct this new rebel manoeuvre, and ought to pass at the earliest moment. Wash. Chronicle. A great deal is being saicVnow-a-days, by certain politicians, of the prerogatives of the President of the United States, as if he were a king, reigning by divine right, instead of being, as he is, the mere servant of the peo ple and bound by his oath to execute their will. The very name given to his depart nient of government, the Executive, is hos tile to the assumption that he has any law making powers, and shows, on the contrary, these powers are all vested in Congress, and -not at all in hi in. Such talk as that we speak of would have suited the couriers of Charles I., but is entirely unbecoming the citizens of this free republic. In the last fifteen years the French Empe ror has demolished about 21,601 houses in Paris, and ordered the erection of over 88, 844 houses in a better and more elegant style. Lastyerr, 2,323 houses (containing 14,287 family apartments) were demolished ; and 3,809, containing 23,735 such apart ments, built instead of them mostly for the people of the middle clashes and between the boulevards and the fortifications. There are some parts of the world where a little architectural despotism of that sort, for a few years, would be a great godsend. Will you have a daily Sun? said a news boy to Mrs. Partington. " Will I have a daily son? Why, you little scapegrace? How dare you insinuate against a lone wo man ? No, indeed I guess I won't have a daily son.

And the old lady called for the turkey wing fan to keep her from swooning. The followiug little gem, from the pen of Alice Carey, can be read with a profit by everyone saint as well as by sinner: " Do not long for wrong or evil, You will find them if you do ; As you measure to your neighbor, He will measure back to you.

By direction of the Republican State Committee it is hereby announced that a Convention of the Republican party of North-Carolina will be held in the City of Raleigh, on Wednesday the 26th day of February, 1868, to nominate candidates for State offices, and to perform such other du ties as may be deemed advisable. The Republicans of the State are earnestly requested to take immediate steps to appoint delegates to the 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 day on which the Constitution is submitted for ratification. Let the Republicans of the State rouse themselves to the great work be fore them. Let them unite as one man to secure the ratification of the Constitution and the election of loyal men to all the of fices, and thus render certain the restoration of the State to the federal Union. W. W. HOLDEN, Chairman Hep. State Committee. a. It is not necessary to discuss the constitutionality of the Conventions now in session in the various unrecon structed States, to form Constitutions. The question is already settled. The law-making power has decided, and there will be no effectual appeal from that decision. The Supreme Court will in vain attempt to arrest the work of reconstruction by a political decis ion on the question. Congress will pre vent any such decision by requiring that two-thirds of the Conrt shall be necessary to enable that tribunal to leave the pure paths of the law for the labyrinths of politics. The assump tion, therefore, that the action by these Constitutional Conventions will not be made good will fail and fall-Twill be null and void, has no foundation. It is a mere assumption, like that during the rebellion that England and France would take part with the pretended Confederacy, or that " we would whip them when we got them away from, their gunboats," or that the Northern States would soon secede from the Union, and thus ensure the success ot the South. If the reconstrnction acts should prove a failure and they will prove so, if it should tarn out that these Con ventions are nnconstitntional the rr suit would be that the right of suffrage would be taken away from seven hun dred thousand colored men ; the South ern States would fall at once into the hands ot the enemies of the national government ; the colored people would be remanded practically to a condition of slavery, and every white Republican south of the Potomac would find him self, with his family and property, at the mercy of the instigators and lead ers of the rebellion. Does any sane person .think for a moment that Con gress or the Northern people would al low such a state of things ? We trust we shall hear no more of this wicked nonsense about the uncon stitutionality of the reconstruction acts. These acts constitute a finality. The question is settled. Those who would open it and unsettle it are not friends either to the people of the State or to . the nation. The Sentinel says there are members of the State Convention who held office before and during the war, and yet "have taken the oath." The propriety and validity of an oath depend largely on the intent of the p:irty taking it. It is more a matter of con science than dry, unbending law. The Se nior Editor of the Sentinel and many of his associate rebels have solemnly sworn that they have never " engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States." This, it is true, was coupled with something else which they had not done, but if the oath could be divided, where wonld they be! ' We understand a Democratic paper is about to be established in this City. Brother Pell and Seaton will have to surrender. There are more old Democrats in the rebel party than Whig.'"

Not t alU " Ills not important that Gov. Worth should admit or deny the proposition.

Worth's recent message which recognizes the constitutionality of Use body. "We an swer, first, the Convention approached Gov. Worth in its ' character as a con stitutional body ; secondly, he respond-, ed to it at once, and concluded his mes sage with the solemn' prayer that Al mighty God would inspire it with wis dom to conduct its labors to beneficial results to our people. What does that mean ? . Would Gov. Worth have thus responded to a body of pretenders and usurpers? Surely not. If he had entertained doubt as to the right of the body to frame a Constitution for our people, he would at least have been silent. ' The 5th of February Convention. It is already a foregone conclusion that this proposed Convention of Obstructionists will prove a miserable failure. A few des perate politicians, who have every thing to gain and nothing to lose by a continuation of our present state of suspense and anxiety, will doubtless be on hand, with their cus tomary slang of u negro supremacy," &C But the honest masses of the people have grown tired of this thing. They have found out that, abusing u Yankees," "niggers" and " Union men," is not the most certain means of relieving the wants of the people and re storing the State to the Union. After more than two years of storm and tempest, since the overthrow of the rebellion, the old ship, though battered and weather-beaten, is at last in sight of the harbor, and is surely and steadilv movins towards it -Shall we re verse our course and put out again into a wild and unknown sea, with no prospect be foro us but utter ruin ? We commend this to the consideration of thoughtful men every where, and also the further tact that every delegate to this Obstruction Convention will place himself on record against reconstruct tion and cut himself off from every hope of relief from the disability imposed by the Howard amendment, should he be under such disability. But the future peace and welfare of North-Carolina is an infinitely higher consideration than this, and we are satisfied will have its full effect in influen cing all good citizens from having any thing to do with this last resort of desperate men. Par of Members Treasurer Battle. . It was generally understood, a few days since, that Mr. Treasurer Battle would pay tne members or the Convention their per diem, but yesterday he sent to the Convea tion a communication declining to do so. jar. .Battles argument is an ingenious one, and is well expressed, but it does not strike us as in any respect conclusive. He pleads, first, his oath of office. That oath is sub ject to the paramount authority of Congress, under which the Convention was called. The law, which he interposes, is that of an ille gal and void organization, so declared by the Congress. It can not bind as against the action of a body like the Convention, sitting under the authority of Congress. He pleads, secondly, his bond. The answer is, that if the reconstruction acts should prove to be a finality the Treasurer would incur no risk, for he would be sustained and saved harmless by the new State govern' ment ; and if these acts should prove a fail ure, Mr. Battle would be in the hands of his political friends, for they would remain in power. Mr. Battle's communication is very res pectful to the Convention, and be seems to regret that his ideas of duty prevent him from complying with the wish of that body, We repeat, it was generally understood a few days since, that Mr. Battle would pay out; but Gov. Graham reached the City re cently, and it may be that under his advice a different course has been adopted. . Gov. Graham has marred many s good movement in this State His defection from the Union cause was first suspected in December, 1863, when be advised Gov. Vance not, to meet and confer with Gov. Stanly, at Kinston, on the subject of peace. We do not believe that theoeoDlc of North. Carolina are prepared to vote for the ratifica tion of the Constitution containing the fca ture of universal negro suffrage. Sentinel. This is the very thing the people are going to do. The Sentinel was in favor of it some months since, when it called its colored meeting in Capitol Square to persuade the colored people to vote with its party ; but as soon as it found the colored people would not do that, it turned against negro suffrage. The rebel leaders of this State get weaker and weaker every time they tilt against the Republican party.' The people are tired of rebel expedients, rebel advice, and rebel rule. . They are looking anxiously for the new Constitution. They expect it to framed in strict accordance with the rccon struction acts, and they will ratify it by an immense majority. There is no power on earth or in hell which can now deprive the colored people of the -right to. vote. The right is theirs, and it can not be taken from them. . We will not conjecture the result to our people of a failure to reconstruct the State under the present acts. That their condition in the future would be infinitely worse than I . r .... . it, a now, rew will aeny. A largo majority of onr people are heartily in favor of imme diate reconstruction, and will vote according ly, and we feel sure that many of the minor ity for whom the Sentinel assumes to speak, think that it is ... ..j-v.

' Bleeding Kanaaat'-" -1 - The Sentinel despairs of help tor Rebel- ;- dom at the hands of the Supreme Conrt. This is a cheering admission. It says : ' ' " Where this is all to end, no mortal can foresee. . The President is unusually reticent as to his purposes. We fear, however, that.' he lias delayed too long, ana tuat no is last fettered and bound. The Supreme Court lias fixed an early day in March for the con- , sideration of the McCardle case, involving the constitutionality .of the Reconstruction Acts, and the Court, we presume, will Hardly : regard any prohibition affecting its decision in that or any other case. If the Supreme Court is niado to fall, also, lieneath the heel of the revolutionanary destroyer, we see no prospect of relief short of the great popular -condemnation which will, be expressed in the next Presidential election, if, under the military dictatorship and despotism, another Presidential election shall ever be held !

The Washington correspondent of the New York , Tribune thus speaks of Senator Morton's great speech on the 24th instant : " The great event of the day and of the session in the Senate was the speech of Sen ator Morton of Indiana, who, from a scat in front of the Chair, delivered one of the most powerful arguments in vindication ot the Congressional policy of Reconstruction that nave yet been made, ae was compelled to . keep his seat during the delivery of his speech the second time only in the history of Federal legislation that the spectacle has been seen of a Senator addressing the Sen ate from his seat and not from the floor. A disabling; lameness in both of his less compelled the distinguished Senator to this unusual and most disadvantageous torm ot delivery. His sentences fell like sledge-ham mer blows, and every word was timely and weighty. The Senator had no preparation but a few rough notes, to which he seldom referred. Up to last night lie had no inten tion of speaking, but as Mr. Doolittlc quo ted largely from him yesterday, to prove that in 1865 he (Morton) indorsed Johnson's policy, he felt it his duty to reply. The gal leries were densely filled with an audience such as seldom sits through a political dis cussion, and nt one who heard the opening sentences left before the close ot the great argument. The homage of such profound attention as was manifested is not often paid. At the conclusion of the speech, the senators present flocked around Mr. Morton in a per fect mob to congratulate him."
