MR. POOLS RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions presented in the Senate on yes
tcrday, ny Mr.. Pool, of Berte, will probably call
forth orc Of the most able and Interesting debates
Of the session. We lay them, therefore, before our
readers that they may weigh their import Our
limited space to day fOrbids such notice of them
as might desire, yet the gravity and importance
of their subject matter entite them to a thorough
discussion.
As Conservative, devoted to the established or
der of things-to the Constitution and the laws,
cannot be expected TO supper: any proposition which
contraveneS infrlnges The one or the other. The
issue of, war peace is committed by the Consti-
tuition to well de fined parties, whose 2rerogatVe it
is 10 declare the one efectuate the other. We de-
sire no change in this wise provision. -.
Mr. Pools resolutions look to peace, a consumma-
ton we all most sincerely desire. The horrors of
this war have become ruinouS enongh-the thirst
for blood has been sufficiently gloated to lead all to
desire its ceSSatiOR. How To bring it about is the
deSideratum. The resolutions propose new scheme
it comedies entirely the centIol OF the common.
government over the question. 1t admits the ef-
forts of the President and his readiness to secure
peace These so far, have been ,unayailing Other
projects have mSearried because Of their tact dis
.pasiuon 70 assume that which does not belong to
them. Others which nave been proposed, were in
direct conflict with the Constitution and the dignity
and perpetuity of the Confederate government
Against Mr. POOLS scheme none Of these objec-
tions lie. 1t invades the authority Of none-as-
SumeS no power, no prerogratlVe ADVERSE 70 Ine
powers that be- but suggests easy, and so far as
we can see an unotectiOna6le platform, upon which
the bellgerents may, if they WILL talk about peace
it should fail IN its laudable endeaVor no prlncl-
pie is compromised, no one is injured, and no ex-
pense need be incurred.
We are not sanguiae, if our sister States and the
President shosld consent that anything practicable
will result Yet it is worth the trial. We will at
least have taken one step IN addition to what the
President has already done, to effect peace Inc
| effect of the proposition mnst be good upon the
North and also upon Europe. 1t can harm no one.
The resolutions are so brief that at first blush
some may object but.a little consideration and exe
PLANTATION as io the plan will remove the difficulty.

Dies this statement relate to former, or to the
ussent session? 1t is known that at former ses-
SON. nearly year SINCE the President requested
lie presence of the North Carolina delegation, for
unsuaton in relation to the condition of things in
this State that he read to them letter supposed
ahs7e been written by some person in this City,
n which it was charged that treason was abroad in
MrthCsrOlina, and that something should he done
usuppriss it; that Senator Reade and other men,
bK 7iDdicated our people against this slanderous
darge, and demanded Justice for them at the Pres
isn:ShandS and that only one member was found,
Ar J. R. Mclean, who joined in this uhfounded
charge, and who insisted, as we heard at the time,
that our people were dsloyal by at least thirty
thousand majority. The President listened to Mr..
Reade ard Others but did not take their advice, for
afterwards at his request, the writ OF habeas

vas that the suspension of the writ was intended
