In speaking of the growing discomfort
among the people in North Carolina and
their desire to hold a State Convention,
the Wilmington North CsrOlins) Journal
says:
We say, and say most seriously, that
plans, evidently set in motion in North
Caroline, are ominous Of grsVer conse-
euences than even the evidence Of the
advance Of the enemy.
The Raleigh Standard in its appeals to
Shareholders for peace says:
We went to war to protect the State SOW
ereignty and to defend and perpetuate the
institution Of slavery, but il it should ap.
pear that we are likely to loose both, as ra-
tionsl beings we should pause and con-
slider well the direction which we are tax
ing. If the war should continue twelve
months longer, with no greater success to
our arms, there is great danger that the
institution Of slavery will be hopelessly
destroyed.
Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
comes out in card in the Standard
against the taxation Of State property for
the confederaoy.
The North Carolina and Virginia
papers are firm in the belief that
Wilmington is to be attacked, and have
much to say about the concentration of
forces here, which are magnifed into very
large numbers.
DR.. ]. 7. Leach, the conservative mem
ber elect in the new Confederate Congress,
which meets in February, says in the
Standard of the 18th inst. North Carolina
claims the fulfllment of the compact or the
right to part from the Confederscy in
peace.
At the great meeting held recently in

Constitution, DR.. J. 7. Leach was Chair
man Of the Committee on Resolutions
Meetings are being held in different coun

The Raleigh State Journal says: The

Gradual Kmancition.

The standing argument for gradual
emancipation is thst it is necessary TO pre-
pare the slaves for freedom. We admit
thst the negro brought in 8 condition Of
servitude and utter dependence is not rs
well qualified for bis own mastery as
either theWhite or black man who il
taught from his childhood TO provide for
himself; but more ridiculous assumption
was never indulged id thaa that gradual
process Of msnmission will remedy the de-
feet in his education. The ground upon
which the argument chiefly rests is thst
slavery is the best school for freedom,
since il is proposed in order to qualify
him for freedom 10 keep him in slavery
for term Of years. If this idea be cor
rect, the slaves of the United Ststes are
already the best qualified for freedom
Of any people in the world since
they have been serving IN this school all
their lives. II after being in servitude
for two hundred years past the negro
rsco is not prepared for liberty, what req
son is there to hope that gTe, ten, fifteen or
twenty years more Of the same kind of
schooling viii materially help the matter.
The trouble ie that the negroes have serv-
ed an apprenticeship in slavery tso long
already. If slavery has disqualified them
for independence, what in the name of
common sense is to be gained by keeping
them. in slavery longer2 Why not get
them out Of 1t as soon IS possible2
II We admit that The end Of negro
slavery in the United States is decreed,
the question Of the best mode Of prepar-
ing the negro for 8 change Of condition
beeomes Of the very first importance.
Shall he be left precisely where he is, as
the preparatory step to this changer Such
Is the proposition Of the Graduals. A
man, therefore; who is debauohed by strong
drink csn be best prepared for sobriety BY
being permitted 10 drink on q few years
longer. When, by remsining in state Of
slavery, the negro will become prepared
foE freedom, these gentlemen forget TO
tell us. For this omission we certainly
can see the reason.
The fact about the matter is, that the
advocate Of gradual emancipation never
will become prepared 10 admit that the
tine has come for the negro to be set free.
Why this should bs is plain enough. The
same reason which leads him to oppose
the actual liberation Of the slave to-dAy
viii apply just as foreibly ten or twenty
years hence, or sny ether time. Hence il
Is perfectly safe to say that the gradual
Ensncipationist from any motive, is
practically no Emancipatiohist at all. In
the State Of Missouri in particular, and
anywhere else in times like these, no cne
wiz be found urging the postponement
Of emancipation, except from the hope
that slavery may in some way be saved
altogether, or ct least with the desire TO
save 1t as long as it can be done.-XiFsOl,
