North Carolina Ia the Field.
The Raleigh Standard, of Saturday, says

The Raleigh STANDARD, OIL Saturoay, snIs:
1.-THE military spirit is thoroughly aroused
in this State. From the seaboard to the Ten
nessee line, but one spirit a~niuIates our people.
North Carolina will send her full quota OF
troops 10 unite in the attack on Washington
CITY. Our streets arc alive with soldiers and
officers, many Of the latter being here to ten
der their companies 10 the Governor. Wash
ington City will soon be too hot to hold Abra-
ham Lincoln and his government. North Ca
rolina has said it, and she will do all she can
10 make good her declaration. She will never
Law down her arms uutii the revolution is nc
complished, and until her rights and liberties
are made secure against the assaults CT her
enemies
In reference 10 the action Of the North Car
DINA Legislature, called to meet on Hednes'
day next, the Raleigh Register says:
WHAT SHOULD BE DoNE.-We have heard
the idea thrown out that when the Legislature
meets it should at once pass an ordinance OF
secession and submit it 10 the people Tor ratit.
cation. We beg leave to differ from those who
entertain this idea, rs it would establish 4
most dangerous precedent. Our view OF the
matter is, that the Legislature should pass n
bill caiiing a Convention and ordering an cleo
ton of delegates to it--pass such laws as they
may, in their wisdom, believe will tend to the
further welfare Of the State, and then adjourn
sine die. The Convention will represent the
sovereignty of the people Of the State, and viii
have full power to pass any laws or ordinances
i; may please. We Gun see no necessity for the
legislature and the Convention to be IN session
at the same time. 1t would be an unnecessary
expense at a time when money is scarce, mas
much as the Convention will have full power
10 DO all and q great deal more than the Legis
iaturn couid IN Hiully do.

No idea of Coming Back.

The idea OF going out OF the Union tor the
purpose of reconstruction is now admitted to be
fallacious, though, short time since, it had
many advocates 10 this State. "Virginus," the
Charleston correspondent of the Richmond Dis
PATCH says:
Il find constantly in your newspapers remarks
to the effect that the seeded States will go back
into the old Union, under certain circumstances.
beg to assure you that, if Virginia, or any 9TH
er State, or any man, or set OF men, intend to
base their rule of action on such a contingency,
It is the merest vision that ever betrayed man.
For one, should be glad to hope that recon
struction could be effected on fair and honorable
grounds to the entire South yet know full well
that. under no conceivable circumstances, what
ever may be the guarantees offered or given to
the Soluble they ever SO liberal and Just-be
they ever so binding on the North-be Llncoln's
administration ever so just and constitutional
be it all that the Cotton States could or WoulG
have asked before the election-be it what it
may-do what Virginia. Maryland, Tennessee
and the other States may-the seeded States
will never, as long as the sun rises and sets, be
connected with the North again. They can
mayer. in honor, do it; and they have higher and
brighter prospects than can be afforded ID the
old Union The slavery question is by no means
the only vital question to the South. We want
free trade for all the world, and we intend to
have it; and if the slavery question was Settled
the tariff question would be bone OF eternal
contention"

The Peace Conference.

The Peace Conference adopted the Territorial
propositions proposed by Mr.. Franklin, of Penn
sylvania. The proposition is an amendment OF
Mr.. Guthrie's plan, and substantially the same.
1t provides that in all the present territory of the
United States, not embraced by the Cherokee
Treaty. north of the parallel Of thirtysix degrees
and thirty minutes of north latitude, involuntary
servitude, except in punishment of crime, is pro-
hibited. In all the present territory south of
that ine the status of persons held to service or
labor, as it now exists, shall not be changed by
Law, nor shall the rights, arising from said rela-
tion, be impaired but the same shall be subject
to judicial cognizance in the Federal Courts &C.
cording to the common law. When any Terrific
ry, North or South of said line, within such
boundary as Congress may prescribe, shall con-
tain population equal to that required for a
member of Congress, it shall, if it's form of Gov
eminent be republican, be admitted into the
Union on an equal footing with the original
States, with or without involuntary servitude, as
the Constitution of such State may provide
The majority for the proposition was large,
though Maryland and Kentucky only, of the
Southern States represented, voted for it. In
the light, however, of the recent elections in
Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri, it cannot be
doubted that, if finally adopted as an amendment
to the Constitution it win be satisfactory to the
people of those States, despite the dissent of
their Commissioners.
