The Legislature.

Both branches of the Legislature were engaged on
Monday in discussing the bill calling Convention
to deliberate on federal relations
We direct the attention of our readers to the pro-
ceedings of Saturday and Monday, IN our columns
to-day.
Messrs Avery and Person, from the committee on
federal relations reported first to their respective
houses bill to call Convention providing for sub
hitting the action OF the Convention to the people
They afterwards reported a substitute, providing for
an open Convention, but emitting the section rela
ting to submission of the doings of the Convention
to the people; but Mr.. Person said he was willing
to recommend submission to the people, and we
believe Mr.. Avery OH Friday offered a proposition
to that effect in the Senate, after he had intro
troduced the substitute. The substitute, as report
ed, cannot pass,-nor can any bill pass which does
not provide for vote by the people at the ballot
box on what the Convention may de- That is Ger
tam. A mere recommendation will not do. If the
Legislature has power to appeal to the people, it has
PO,oer to prOride for erhausting that appeal; and
the appeal will be exhausted only after the people
shall have voted to ratfy reject the dongs of the
Convention.
1t is a significant fact, that while many Union
members favor a Convention with proper restric-
tonS those who are most zealo us and active in adj
vocating Convention are most deeply committed
to dsunion. Indeed more than one dsunionist
has declared that if Convention shall be called ard
shall decide against secession, he will not submit
to its action! This of course evnces profound re-
gard for the people! Now, we hold that it is the
duty Of every in the State to submit to the will
of the people fairly and fully ascerained; and that
true Democracy or Republicanism consists in con-
sulting and deferring to the popular will. When
North Carolina speaks let every loyal son of hers
stand by her and obey her.
We think it probable that Convention will be
called, and that the question will be determined du-
ring the present week. But if called let it be con-
ined-in the language of the Card ofMessrs. Bragg,
Clingnan, Branch, Craige, Winslow, and Rufin-
to the consideration Of our existing federal rela-
tons" This is no time to make or unmake State
Constitutions. As friend observed the other day,
the making unmaking Constitutions at the pres
cnt crisis as such work should he DONE if attempted
at all would be as difficult the taking of astrono-
mical observations in thunder storm.

A bill was recently submitted to the South Car
DINA Legislature, by Mr.. Smonton, providing for
the observance of holidays by the Banks of that
State. Five regular holidays are named, but the
Fourth Of July is omitted from the list!
Great God has the gallant State of South Carol
ina become so deeply infatuated as to ignore the
existence of that day in the calendar which to Amer
lean hearts is dearest and most glorious and which
has twined around it remembrances that can never
die so long the grass waves above the graves at
Monmouth, or the pillows clasp the shelving shores
of Suvan's Island. When the South Carolinians
forget the blood poured forth at Eutaw Camden and
the Cowpens, then, and not till then, let them forget
the day upon which the compact was signed that
that blood sealed. North Carolina can never yield
her share in the Fourth of July Winston Sentinel

Mr.. Stewards Speech.

We give below the concluding portion of Mr..
Stewards speech, delivered in the Senate on Satur-
day last
"Republicanism is subordinate to the Union, as
every name and thing given under heaven, for the
political salvation of man ought to be- and far as
his power went should be. If others should invoke
revolution his position should not be misunderstood.
On the question as to whether man, in any State,
be man or property, let the laws of that State de-
eide. While prudence would require such an amend
ment to the acts in relation to fugitive slaves
would not compel men to assist in hunting runa-
ways, he was free to say he thought that certain
laws personal liberty bils) passed by some States
ought to be repealed He was willing even to vote
for an amendment to the Constitution if it should
not be afterward agitated.
While he believed that Congress had exclusive
power to egislate for the Territories, and while he
would never cast vote to carry slavery there or
elsewhere EARTH he was willing to vote for such
proposition that of the Senator from Minnesota,
ii reservation were inserted that hereafter more
than the two States proposed should be made out of
that large extent of Territory.
When these eccentric movements of disunion
should come to an end, when peace and harmony
should be restored in one two, or three years hence
he would counsel the calling of national conven-
ton to determine if any, and if so, what amend
mcnts should be made to the original law of the
country.
TIC was u nepuollcal, anu Helu InaI Tie leueIa
government derives its existence from the assent Of
the people, that, in great emergency, it was prop
er to go back to the people; that this was the best
government that ever could be conceived by
the mind of man. He was ready to vote for properly
guarded laws to suppress invasion of and by States
and believed that two railroads to the Pacific should
be construced--one from the mouth of the MissiS
sippi, and the other from the confluence of the Mis-
siSsippi and Missouri.
He had learned early from Jefferson that men
would not always do what thought best and that
it was duty to follow in the RICH: where We could
not lead He had submitted these propositions with
great d6idence and should lend his best efforts to
the preservation of peace and of the Union Violence
had already commenced, but he hoped still for the
Constitution and the Union, putting his trust in the
wisdom and patriotism of the American people. lie
prayed violence and sedIton might remain merely
local, and that whatever dangers were to be met
should be met in spirit of discreet determination.
For the Union ultimately he would not despair
1t should continue and endure, aud men in after
years should declare that this generation saved the
Union by the exercise of magnahimity which even
exceeded that of the generation which III former
days founded the government in the names Of Lib
erty, Justice and Humanity. Applause.
