STATE CONVENTION.
Is the evening session of Monday .iain
Convention, we find quite lengthy dis
cussiOn between Mr.. Wise and Mr. Carlile,
on tue substitute of the latter. In.answcr
to question of Mr.. Wise, whether he
| (Carlile) considered the Black Republt-
cans werein power, or ever would DC, we
find Mr.. Carlile saying
will explain. No. sir; they are not in
! power, thank God, and think it is very
evident that they never will be. We were
/ told that they would not stop with the
plank in the platform declaring their Oppo-
sition TO he extension of slavery into the
territories of tue United States, but that
! they would advance still further and pro-
/ hlbit the slave trade between the States
abolish slavery in the District of COlum-
bia, and finally interfere with slavery in
the States. l ask gentlemen, if nll these
| hpprehended dangers were not provided
against by the committee at the late Peace
Conference at Washington-eac and every
/ onef Now tell me, if You please, what
more doyou nsk? Do yon want remedies
for the recovery ofyOur fugitive slaves?-
! What better remedies could you have than
the remedies which the experience of cen
turies has perfected What territory have
/ We now, to which any net going to amend
tile Constitution of the United States, in
any particular could apply? Did the Black
Republican party, which had the majority
I in COLhrrss at the last session, after. the
Withdrawal of the Representatives. and
Senators of the seeding States, apply the
! Wilmot proviso to the territories. or ca
cludei you. from those territories? They
did no such thing. They have by their
action negRtiyed tho charge which you
made aSainstithern, that they would exer-
else the power, if it were even in their
tipossessIon, for the purpose of excluding
Enn. by Gnngressio uRl enactment, from the
common territories of the land. They
have organized the territories and have
left to the people within them to settle and
determine this question of slavery for
themselves, when they shonld come to
| form their State Constitutions power
have yet to hear Southern man deny to
! the people.
What do you want as Union men? 1
mean as men who are not prepared to drag
this State, or rather to allow it to be drag
ged, at the heels of the Cotton States by
their precipitate action, aud who are de-
tcrmined; so far as their representative
couduct can go, not to consent that the
people, against their will, shall he telc-
grnphCd out of n Union which is dear to
them. ask these gentlemen what 10
they expect from bor'ler slave State con-
ference to be assembled within go days, to
lay down, it may be, an ultimatnm, and to
require that that uItimatum shall be ac-
cepted within period of time within
which it wonld be impossible to submit it
to the people of the several States of the
Union? Sir, have we not hnd border
{ slave State conference within the last thir-
: ty days? Was not each and all the bor-
I der slave States represented in this Con-
ference at Washington? You arc to have,
! by the report of this committe, a border
slave State conference, which is to meet
the last Monday in NlHy, and you are to
appoint commissioners to that conference.
/ l confess am afraid of the men in power
I A NoicE-You are afraid of the people,
/ l suppose.
Mr.. CAnLTLR-I-would ask, Where are
the sympathies of the Governor of North
Carolina, and where are the sympathies of
| the present Legislature of North Carolinu?
know where the people nre, because they
| have spoken. know where the people Of
Tennessee are, but | know not where the
symPathies of the Governor or the present
| Legislature of Tennessee are. l know
/ where the heart of Kcntncky is. No man
! doubts that; but know, not where the
| sympathics of her Governor or her Legis-
lRture may be. But, sir, 1 know that
| while adhere to the Peace Conference
| propositions, am anchored, and the mo-
ment let go of them nm ag6in at sea.
! Now, sir, grant you that in one de-
| partment of this government the black Re-
| publiCan party is in power. But it is
klosEn to all gentlemen here as well as
myself that there are three departments in
| this government. In neither the Legisla-
tive, Executive or Judicial is the Black
Republican party in power, and the de-
Partment in their possession is n pure Ex-
ecntive department, and the Executive de-
partment is powerIess for harm. BE can
dono harm unless we suspect ourselves
| Do WEI II we do, fear that seeding
| from the Union would not increase your
confidence. Ate we, the reprcseniatiHeSof
the people OF .vtrgiuia, distinguished
above all other people for our confidence
in the ability of the citizens of our State

| Sir, weare toll that yon can never re-
/ store the Union again. do not admit
that it is broken. But, for the sake of ar
hument, will assume that il is in condi-
tion to he constructed. say to gentlemen
/ who believe that it is in a condition to be
reconstructed, that tthe sooner they .disn-
bHse their minds of the idea that We can
reconstruct it, the better it Wonld be for
them. We cannot do It.
