From NORTH CAROLINA, we learn
that the State Convention was expect
ed to adjourn in all this week. The
mos, important amendment to the Con.
sti.ution agreed upon, in addition to
those already noticed, is one which
abolishes the test-oath which excludes
Catholics from civil Office, &c.-still
retaining, however, the exclusion Of
all who do not profess belief in the
Christian, religion. We are sorry that
the North State is yet so far behind
the spirit Of the age.
Another amendment adopted makes
the Governor Of the State eligible by
the People, to serve for two years.
