Byiss Oss Of Ghe Convention schenne.

From the Fayetteville CN. e. Observer, Feb al
Within few days We have received several
assurances by letter and Otherwise that the pro
ject Of getting up S.ate convention 20 enable
North Carolina to take her o~n affiirs ioto
her cWn hands," and TO withdraw tho key
stone from the Confederate srch, so that tie
whole structure would tumble to the gTound," !"
Is pretty effsc.Usliy knocked in the head. A
letter from Stokes county informs Us tia. bat
few even Of the subscribers 10 the Standard are
10 favor Of a convention. A letter from Gull
ford says thas tine project is dying out in that
section Of the State. And we SEQ ; card ia the
Greens 5oro' Patriot, signed by gentleman who
had acted as secretary to a convention meeting
in Rockingham county, ssying;
Il have since become satisfied that such
meetings can do no good, but are calculated to
all sod encourage Cur enemies, snd that the
| political HiTe workers who are Et the bottom Of
| them SO understand them / therefore disclaim
| 81 connection Si;h them Tor .he future"
Upon the back Of thsse comes The speeches
Of Gov. Vance St ilhe,boToagh, Sta.esyille
snj Salisbury, in which be took deeidad ground
sgsi1gt the convention agitation. This is no
| sudden view Q the governors his speech is but
an exposition Of his well krown sod wen set
ted views on this question:, made public on the
first proper opportunity, which was afforded by
GO invitation 10 address the people Of Wilkes.
Upon the whole, We congratulate oar Tesders
upon tie death Of The seheme. 1t has done q
deal Of evil to the character Of Norih Carolins,
tn: we have much TO be thankful fer that tho
power to do much more and worse is at 40 end.
