the Introduction Of the resolution OF the gen

TIE nEksoS FOR ADJOURNMENT.
Tho geusra1 impression Is that the rcasos
for Adjournment IS fez the purpose Ct consult
ing the3r constituents On the part OF the OeH-
ocrats. They have thrown out several fseleEss
looking to an action By ordinance on the part
Of tho Convention upon various subjects. It
was at first bz11ited abroad here that they
would SO depose all the State officers. In
order to do this, however, some color OF pre-
tencc of justice must be made out. So far
they hare failed in impeaehing the integrity
ofthe State officers. The communication from
Cor, Yates to-day is acknowledged By many
Of his opponents as i complete vindication-
OF his acts aud character upon Ill the charges
and insinuations made against him. Governor
Yates has worked hard in order to put the
volunteers from the State into the field in the
best condition, and had he been rs ably sec
onded By the General Government, would
have done much better tlIln he bad As it is,
he has saved our soldiers 4 dreadful amount Of
suffering and mortality. Imagine NC will
hear no more attacks upon the State officers,
and that the Convention will now proceed to
the legitimate business for which it has been
called together.
WHAT THE DEMOCRACY PROPOSE TO DO.
As 4 specimen Of the many rumors flying
about respecting the future action Of the ma
iority of the Convention, I give you the fol-
loving for what it is worth. It certainly has
the merit Of great iDgenuity+ But there are
some cunning heads among the Democracy In
this Convention, as you Of course have OBJ
served ere this, upon peru6al OF some Of the
But on some Of these Committees arc very
| able Judges and lawyers, and the former,
especially, have always been noted for their
disposition to make as well as administer laws.

Just as close to rejection as they can and be
