Politics in North Carolina.

RALEIGH, N. c., July 81.
Hon. Ira Graham, ex-member of the rebel
Senate, and political leader of this State, who
is to be delegate to the coming State conven-
ton, says that under no circumstances will he
consent to the return of North Carolina into
the Union, if the negro suffrage question is
made condition.
j. III. P. Russ of this city, who recently re-
ceived a Federal appointment, and who has
been designated to represent this district in
Congress and also in the State convention, de-
fines his position on the slavery question by
saying that if he had the power he would re-
enslave every slavs who is now free
2 Some of the county meetings which nomi-
mated rebel leaders as candidates to the State
convention instructed them to favor. by consti-
tutional or legislative enactments, the binding
OF liberated slaves to their former mas
tiers for a term of years. Union men,
alarmed at these fresh developments ofdisloy-
atty, are organizing for the purpose of demand
ing the immediate enforcement of the confis-
cation law, which they claim will drive these
rebel leaders and sympathizers from the politi-
cal field, and enable men of clear record to
present a constitution and delegation to Con-
gress which that body can accept. \.
The reckless manner of pardoning the great
leaders of the rebellion in North Carolina, such
as Graham and others, is exciting grave appre-
tensions among the loyal people of the State.

multitude. The party were received at the
Navy Yard by Rear Admiral Stringham and
his officers. The Band played Hail to the
Chief The workmen In the yard, $500 in
number, were drawn up in line and gave the
General hearty cheers as he passed. A salute
was also fired from the battery. After exam

The party then proceeded to Hon. G.. w.

with loud cheers, which were continued all
along the route to the Revere House.

EVENING PAPERS.
From North Cnrofinn.

RALEIGH, N. c., July 25.
The Raleigh Progress continues to denounce
the reckless use of the pardoning power in
North Carolina. This misplaced clenfency, it
says, is making the leading rebels of the State,
who are daily receiving pardons, still more de-
liant and disloyal than before, comprising the
public men of the State.
They have all been designated as delegates
to the coming State Convention, which body
it is known they control.
The Union men are endeavoring to have the
call for the State Convention postponed until
after Congress meets, which will save time as
well as great expense, as the proposed Con-
stitution IS destined to be repudiated by the
people, as it is very apparent it viii be of an
obnoxious character. 4gsa alsar4
These treacherous leaders, who have been
pardoned through Gov. Holden's reccmmen-

didate for Governor who fails to identify him
self with them. W < ~

REV. MIR. WALTON'S LETTER OF RE-
5IGNATION.
The members of the Third Parish Church
met last evening to take some action on the
doings Of the late Council, and the letter of re-
signation which Mr.. Walton had addressed to
the Church and Parish, but the report of the
Council had not been sent in, and why thi.
laches on the part of him whose duty it was
to give said report to the Church, did not ap-
pear; and therefore the Church did not act.
but adjourned to next Monday evening. The
following is Mr.. Walton's letter -
PORTLAND, July 30th.
To the Third Church and Parish-Dear
Brethren and Friends The action Of the late
Council convened in this Church, imposes upon
me the painful duty of resigning the charge
with which you have entrusted me. / thank
you tor your unvarying kindness, and the mani
fold tokens you have given me ofyour love and
undated confidence. | am aware that my
ministry among you has been in much feeble
ness and imperfection; but I think you will
bear me witness that / have endeavored TO
minister to your necessities, and preach the
truth, as it is in Jesus, in faithfulness and
love.
May God abundantly reward you for all your
kindness and forbearance, and may grace mer-
ey and peace be with you all eYermore.-
Amen.
Afectionately,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
j. Il. WALTON.
