Part Spirit.

The following preamble and resolutions have
been introduced into the Convention by Mr. Thomas,
OF Carteret. They appear to US to embody senti-
ments which should meet general approval. Their
unanimous adoption by the Convention would go
very far to repress that spirit of party so unfortun
atey prevalent at this time in this State. We trust
that these or similar resolutions may be adopted
" "Resolution Discountenancing Purity Spirit during
the Var, and declaring the military to be sub
ordinate to the ciril authority
WHEREAS, The delegates of the people OF North
Carolina, in Convention assembled, did lately adopt
unanimously, a series of resolutions, expressing,
among other things, undminished confidence in the
Justice of the cause for which We have taken up
arms, our sense of the duty of the people Of these
States to maintain and uphold that cause, and de-
termination to shrink not from the performance OF
our whole duty in the achievement of our ndepen-
dence which we have asserted and to accept no al
tentative therefor: And, Whereas unanimty and
harmony are necessary, and whatever would impair
these among those who would, in good faith, keep,
stand to, abide by, and perform these resolutions,
should be discountenanced; therefore,
Resolued, That we, the delegates aforesaid, will
discountenance all party spirit which may have
been excited BY former differences Of principles

Electoral College of North.Carolina .

In pursuance of the proclamation of Gov. Clark,
the Electoral College of this State assembled in the
commons Hall, in this City, on Wednesday last to
cast the vote of the State for President and Vice
President All the Electors were present, to-wit:
William B. Rodman, II. W. Guion, John Pool, H.
7 Bond, L. W. Humphrey, W. Mel Mckay, Wei
DON y. Edwards, David s. Reid, Alfred G. Foster,
j. W. Long, Anderson Mitchell, and N. w. Wood6n,
On motion, the Hon. Weldon n. Edwards, Of
Warren, was unanimously called to preside over
the College, and Edmund B. Freeman, ESQ.,, of
Raleigh, was appointed Secretary. Mr.. Edwards
returned his thanks for the honor conferred upon
him, and spoke briefly but most impressively on
the state of the country, and with reference to the
high duty which the College had assembled to per-
icm.
The Electors then proceeded to vote. first for
President, and then for Vice President when it ap-
ared that the whole vote Of the State was cas-: for
JEFFERSON DAVIS, of Mississippi, for President
and ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, of Georgia, for Vice
President of the Confederate States.
Daniel Coleman, Esq, of Cabarrus, was unani-
nously appointed to act as messenger 10 carry the
sealed vote to Richmond. It's gratifying circum-
stance that the State and the Electors themselves
were saved the reproach Of appointing John Spell

tbs State oyer sixteen years of age, with the ex-
option of the Volunteers, shall take an oath to
,pport the Constitution of the Confederate States,
anc up for consideration. This measure is usual
Y known as the "Test Oath" ordinance. Mr..
Bggs, of Martin, who reported the measure from
the committee, spoke at length in favor of it, and
vas followed by Mr.. Leak, Of Richmond, and Mr..
Dick, of Guiliord, in opposition especially to the
Test Oath feature of the ordinance. Mr.. Leak
diyered one of his best speeches on the occasion,

string and touching eloquence. We trust these

The Duty Of the Conservatives.

We publish to-day a communication over the sig
nature Of "A Volunteer" written BY one of the
most patriotic and useful soldiers in the service to
which we inV>te the attention of our readers. Our
correspondent, with our former correspondence
Democratic Confederate ";-is of the opinion that
the Conservatives owe it to themselves anG to the
people to present firm front to the faction which
now controls this State and to insist on Justice for
themselves, and that the gross partyism which has
heretofore and which still prevails, shall be checked
and extinguished In our next we shall publish
communication over the signature of Patriot"
from the pen Of one Of the most eminent men in the
State in which the gross partysm of the faction re-
ferred to is thoroughly exposed.
Since our recent article on the subject of "Party
Spirit" we have heard from friends in all quarters
who warmly endorse the tone and the sentiments of
that article. Prescribed, crowded out and crowded
down, suspected, maigned, and almost crushed, the
old Union men are determined now to make stand
and to appeal to the people. This course has been
forced upon them. They will not submit to be pro-.
scribed any longer They are the equals in every
respect of the old secessoniss, and they intend to
assert and maintain their equality with them at all
hazards. This is a war for Southern rights, and not
for the exclusive benefit or advantage of a certain
facfion

A DROEISI0NAI GOVERNMENT ElRMEl


New YoRK, Nov. 2l.-A letter from Hatteras
Inlet, the 18th, says: We learn that North-Caro-
lima, by a convention of delegates representing
forty five counties has declared Provisional Gov
ernment and has entirely repudiated the secession
act of the State reaffirning her loyalty and devo-
ton to the Constitution of the United States. The
convention met at Hatteras on Monday last. The
act passed contained several sections the substance
of which is as follows:
The first declares vacant all the Offices Of the State.
The second names Marble Nash Taylor Provis-
onal Governor
The third adopts the Constitution of the United
States with the statutes and laws contained in the
revised code of 1856.
The fourth repudiates the ordinance of secession,
passed at Raleigh, on the Goth Of May, together
with all the other acts then adopted.
The fifth directs the Provisional Governor to
order special election for members Of Congress.
The sixth gives to the Governor authority to
make temporary appointments to official vacancies.
The Convention then adjourned, subject to the
call of the President
Governor Taylor has issued his proclamation for
an election in the second Congressional district
which will be held on Wednesday, the 9th inst.
The foregoing enbodies one Of Charles Il. Fosters
most enormous lies. NJ Southern State is more
united or more unanimous in its opposition to Lin
coin than North. Carolina. The only Convention
which has been held in this State is now in session.
composed of 100 delegates, chosen in May last by
the people. These delegates unanimously signed
the act of secession or separation on the goth of
May last; and the very last thing which they, and
those whom they represent will think Of, will be q
reunion with tho Northern States They will
never consent under any circumstances, to reunits
themselves with the non-slaveholding States.

Thanks to the Uatteras Defenders.

On Tuesday last the Convention took up and
unanimously passed the resolution introduced by
Nr. Warren, Of Beaufort rendering thanks to the
otcers and soldiers who defended Fort Hatteras,
and VINO afterwards surrendered. The courage and
lleIty of these brave men, now pining in captivity,
eaInot be questioned; and it was peculiarly appro-
pirate that the Convention should thank them for
their services the occasion referred to, and let
them know tina: they are remembered and cherished
at home
When the resolution was first introduced, some
Gays ago, Mr.. Whltford, of Craven, moved to sus-
pend the rules so that it might be passed at once
but he subsequently withdrew the motion, on sug-
seston that there Was some doubt as to the proper
defence OF Beacon Island, which had been unjustly
c9nounded (as Mr. W. said,) in the minds Of some
with the defence of IIatteras.
