NATIONAL EMANCIPATION CONVENTION.
The Journal OF Commerce publishes (by
request) cali for National Emancipation
Convention, to be held in Cleveland, Ohio,
on the 25th, 26th and 9th inst, "there TO
discuss and develop some plan Of Emancipa.
ton which shall fully recognize the princi-
pie aud policy of a fair aud honorable COM
pensation to the shareholders for the manu-
mission of their slaves" The call is signed
BY persons from Is or 10 States, including
Georgia and Missouri.
The Journal OF Commerce, in commenting
upon this call, argues as follows:

purpose Of emancipation, a preliminary ques-

in order TO determine whether their emancl-
patton in body, or soon, is on the whole
desirable. That question is, What IS to be
done with them when emancipated: Are
they to remain at the South, or come to the
North, or to be sent TO Liberia! Very
serious obstacles are in the way of each and
every one of these alternatives. The South
will not let them remain where they are as
free negroes; the North will not receive
them; and they are too numerous to be sent
to Liberia. Ii they we're allowed TO live AZ
the North, they would gradually waste away,

From the A.hsriIls Spectator.
TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

TO The PEOfLE VI NOhih eAnVbASa.
The sad fate of the late Prof. Mitchell Of
the University Of North Carolina, is well
known to all. He persisted in one Of the
wild gorges Of the Black Mountain. during
a laborious investigation which he had IN
,dertaken relative TO the elevation Of the dill
ferent peaks. Upon receiving this melan-
.sholy intelligence, large number OF the
citizens Of Buncombe and adjoining coun-
ties assembled in the Court House at Ashe-
vile to give some public expression OF their
feelings in regard thereto, when, among
others, the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
4. Resolred That, in our opinion, no more
suitable testimonial of respect to the memo
w Of the deceased could be given, than the
erection Of an appropriate monument, with
which his name and sad fate are 50 Intimately
associated and, to carry out this purpose,
we ask the assistance Of all good citizens Of
the State and the friends Of education and
science generally.
In pursuance Of the object herein express
ed, the undersigned were appointed COM
mittee to solicit aid from the citizens OF
North Carolina, and the former pupils and
friends of the deceased every where.
The family Of DIR. Mitchell have given
their consent to have his remains removed
from Asheville and deposited on the highest
peak OF the Black Mountain, and 50 soon as
the arrangements are all made this will be
done. Abundance Of granite, capable Of
on which We propose to erect tbs nhcShfdmsht,
and it is thought that 5000 viii be amply
sufficient to accomplish what we desire.
In view Of the fact, that he was the lrst
70 visit these mountains aud TO make known
their superior height to any part of the
Rocky Mountains, and that he spent great
portion of his time, and finally lost his
fife in exploring them, we think it will be
admitted that no more fitting testimony OF
esteem could be offered his memory, and no
more fitting spot found wherein TO erect il.
The noble mountains themselves will stand
his most worthy and enduring monument,
bat the State Of North Carolina certainly
owes him something, who has so long de-
voted his best energies TO the instruction Of
her youth.
The committee propose BY this circular
simply TO make known what is intended ;
feeling confident, that TO the good people Of
the State and the vast number Of old pupils
and personal friends Of the deceased, moth.
ing more need be said. The plan Of the
monument will be discussed when sufficient
funds are secured for its completion. They
invite the cooperation Of county committees
and Of single individuals throughout the
State. Contributions can be transmitted q
the committee, or any one Of them, BY any
means most convenient, who will deposit al
such sums in the Bank Of Cape Fear at this
place, to await the making up Of the requi.
site amount All papers friendly to thii
project are requested 70 copy this circular.
