We have heard that, Notwithstanding Abe

can understand the bitterness of the STRIFE

Hon. Mr.. Rsade receive from you with
pleasure copy Of the proceedings Of the
Convention Ia North Carolina appreei-
ate cordially. The spirit Of concilli8tion IN
ycnton Of North CaIoliBa has done much
nnd well towards restoring that State % her
uroperer relations; but something yet re-
mains a. Be dome 10 render that restoration
practicable. An acceptance OF the Consti-
tutonal Amendment aboiishing slavery
throughout the United Strtes by the Legis-
lature OF North Caraoiina is, Ia my judg-
fnent. pTactcaiiy important 20 the success

It viii be seen from this that the Prosi-

further 90 Che rebel States until they have
coupled fully with his demands. He was
disro-ed to trust g. much as possible TO the
