MIR. Goodloc, one of the Emsncipa-
tion Commissioners, has taken it upon
himself to declare the reports Of the
debates in the North Carolina State
Convention, on the slave tax, and free
labor, as appeared in our paper and
others-totaIly false. Mr.. Goodloe is
admirably qualified to Judge, not HAY
ing been in the State for eighteen
years, and probably has better
chance to get at the correctness Of the
facts, than our informant, who was
there. We copied the report Of those
debates, from paper edited by mem
Der of the Convention, who is sup
posed to be as accurately informed, as
