RALEIGH: FRIDAY, DEC. Is, 1868.

We publish to-day that portion of Mr. Lin
coins message which relates to the Confederate
States We do so because we suppose our readers
would like to read it and judge for themselves
Without entering into any argument in reply to any
norton of this document we say that II tine reoel-
hon. were in the condition which Mr. Lincoln claims,
which we by no means admit, and if our people were
reduced to the painful necessity OF reconstruct
inc the old government the terms OF sucn re-
construction. as indicated by the oath proposed,
would be exceedingly repugnant to high-spirited
and Gallant people Terms of pardon based on an
oath to support certain acts of the federal Congress
relating to slaves strike US as strange and ABSURD
Terms might be imposed with equal reason based
On the support of any other law. This, it seems to
rs would be an abuse of the pardoning power, even
concedmg as We do not, that we are rebels and ask
ing pardon.
Again, the assumption that Onetenth of the peo-
nIe of State NAV shape the action of the State on
q ouestion so vital in its character, is opposed to
the fundamental principle of the right of majority
to govern, and would if carried into effect lead to
civil war among ourselves. we tell Mr.. Lincoln
that the people of North Carolina may be oVerrun
and physically subdued, but their honor and their
proud port as freemcn they can never sacrifice
They will take no oaths which their State, in Con-
yention assembled, does not require them to take
and whatever may happen, North Carolina will act
as State, by majority of her people, and thus
shape her own destiny. Her people would not rally
around TENTH to do any thing. North, Carolina
may be forced to walk through the valley Of hr-
initiation, but she would 90 it in her own proud IN
tegrity, with her garments unstained save by the
blood of those who, preSuming on their physical
might would dishonor and degrade her.

A correspondent writing from Franklin, Macon
County, says: "The votes pOlled in this District
for j. D. Hyman were all Conservative votes. Mr.
Hyman was regarded by those who supported him
as a good Conservative" We are glad to hear
this. 1t is another proof of the great strength of
the Conservative party in the 10th District.

The Assembly commenced . session
At tour o'clock this afternoon, 20 consid.
or the question Of soldiers in the army
voting. A lengthy and interesting de-
bate aas had, during which a certified
o of the order Of the War Depart
ment dischsrging Lieutenant Edecr!y,
who voted for the Democratic Governor
in New Hampshire, WAS read. The
whole subject was gone over on both
sides. The discussion on the republican
aide was further evidence Of the fact,
which has been apparent throughout the
whole session, that the speeches on that
side are destitute Of logical reasoning on
national subjects. While many OF the
leading democrats coniioe their remarks
10 logical discussion OF the points raised,
almost the only reply made by the re-
publicans is pathetic appeals and draw
ing imaginary figure; IN other words,
simply speeches OF words. The discus
sion was continued until after ten Z. NJ,
without q recess.

resolutions amending the Constitution

We came very near having q grand
row on the adjournment OF the House
this morning. A member Of the House
charged a lobby member with trying to
buy up members on a certain bill. II 9
lobby man denied it, and said something
which the member took offence at, the
latter replying With a blow. The third
house man undertook 10 reply in the
same manner, when the crowd rushed in
and prevented it. by this time the
doorkeepers had reached the spot and
interfercd. The room was soon closely
packed, so much TO that il was impossl-
bio Tor any person to strike another, and
in this condition they kept the wrangle
and excitement up for about fifteen MIN.
utes, when the crowd dispersed and the
bclligcrent affair ended.
