solves enacted in her halls of legislation will be
surely and scrupulously enforced.
Always deliberating considerably and discreet
ly, resolving with decision and executing those re-
solves with certainty, bodness vgor and courage,
is the policy, as stated in my inaugural address,
most consistent with the digniied character which
North-Carolina has ever borne among the States of
the Union, and one that ought not to be departed
from.
In arriving at the conclusion that it is not now
necessary to convene the General Assembly, have
done so after mature reflection and under the most
solemn convictions of the responsibilities resting
upon me, and with every deference to the opinions
of many intelligent and patriotic citizens to the con-
trary.
At the same time deem it my duty to say, that
shall labor assiduously to keep myself timely ad-
vised of public events, and should any occurrence
render such measure necessary, will not delay
to convene the Legislature and take all such other
steps as may be called for by the honor and interest
of the State =

Yours, &c;

Gny. Letcher,S Message.

We publish to-day the inaugural message Of Gov.
Letcher to the Legislature of Virginia.
We have read this document carefully, and we
approve every word in it. Gov. Letcher has taken
the ONLY position which is compatible with Con-
stitutional Union. Without Union of this kind
there can be no reasonable hope of the independence
Of the Southern States If these States submit to
and acouiesce in the election of President pledged
to put the federal government permanently on the
side of freedom" such submission and aciniescence
will inevitably put the institution Of slavery on
the defensive within their borders, and the result
will be its extinction at no very distant period In all
the breadstuff States
We trust the proposition of Gov. Letcher to hold
a Convention of all the States will meet the approx
al of the entire South. Such Convention could
do no harm, and it might be productive of great
good to all. In such body the States would meet
face to face, would discuss calmly and fully the
great question which now threatens to divide them,
and they might adopt such amendments to the fed
eral Constitution as would restore domestic tram
guilty" and establish the Union on more endu-
ring basis But if the delegates should fail to ac-
complrsh this desirable result, they might make
provision for peaceabe and friendly dissolution of
the existing bonds. We do not see why the nom
saveholdng States should object to such Conven-
ton They have the power to call it, and it is for
them to say whether it shall be held The voice of
Virginia recommending the measure, ca2P1ot fail to
exert potent influence. ~ \
= 1t does not follow, because we take these views
of the approaching sectional struggle for the Pres-
dency that we despair of the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate. A reaction has commenced
in the non-slaveholding States; and this reaction
must certainly enure to the benefit of the Democrat
ic party for the plain that that is the only
national party in the country. If the Democratic
party shall be able to harmonize at Charleston, and
present to the country sound and acceptable ma
tional man for the Presidency, its chances for sue
cess will be at least equal to those of the black Re-
publican candidate Some of our friends may be
more sangune than we are, and we wish we could
see nothing in the future but complete and assured
success for the Democratic cause; but at time like
this we dare not indulge in party calculations and
party hopes which may prove unfounded, and thus
mislead and lul into false security the friends o
State independence and Constitutional Union
Hoping for the best, let prepare for the worst
Preparation can work no evil to any one or to any
interest, while it may have the effect to restrain oul
Northern assaants, and thus perpetuate the Union
