Mr.. EDIroR:-When Gov. Vance made his Wilkes
borough speech it seemed to me that he was gone
from the Conservative party. For one, ! as good
as gave him up; but when he delivered his Fay ette-
VILE speech saw that he had not only got back to
his old position, but that he declared himself bet
ter peace man than you were In an evil hour l,
with thousands of honest Conservatives, con6ded in
him. He called you secessionist-he held you
up IS Of the causes of our present troubles-he
declared he was the best peace man in the South
and he even went so far as to say that this State
would secede from the COntederacy if any great dis
aster should befa it and thus take care of herself
This he said at Fayetteville and elsewhere. He
was elected, will not say how: Where and what
is he now? gather from my Raleigh papers, that
he has thus far defeated every peace man and eve
rv peace measure before our Legislature. l hear
that he is all the while on his warhorse swearing
that he intends to Eight until hell freezes over"
and denouncing the advocates of peace as enemies
to the country. Sir, is there no truth in maRt-
Is there no confidence to be placed in men in high
places? Is the representative principle that the

Gov Vance to be allowed thus to deceive an honest
people, and not be exposed and denounced for it

Judge for myself now. If Gov. Vance is not With
the secesslonsts and if he is not opposed to peace,
then he has q very strange way of showing that he
is q Conservative If he has not deceived the Peo-
Die then promising one thing and doing another is
not deception. II he is not afraid to trust the

More blood must be poured out, more treasure ex-
pended, more wretchedness endured, because JEFF
ferson Davis and Zebulon B. Vance are not willing
that peace shall be made though the intervention
Of the States. Gov. Vance declared during his
campaign that he was better peace man than we
were; that he was better peace man than Gov
Brown, for that he had been more or less instru-
mental in inducing Gov. Brown to take the position
he then occupied that he so cordially approved
the sentiments of Mr. Stephens that he could cheer
fully put the great seal of the State to his speeches
and letters and he also told the people that his
policy would bring peace to them before the leaves
then green, should fall from the trees. How has
be redeemed these pledgesi He is now as bloody
q war man as the bloodiest war man in the Confed-
crate States He cannot bear peace man. The
idea of State Convention, or of State interven.
ton, enrages him. He is afraid to trust the people
with their own affairs. He ignores the people
He is doing every thing in his power to bamboozle,
amuse, mislead, and silence the Legislature now in
session. We repeat the question, will that body
tamely submit to the will of one manP The eyes
of the people are upon them. The people want
Convention. They are determined to have Con-
Vsntion. But we are answered, i've must wait
for some one of the cotton States to move" Nust
zoe still toloU the cotton Statesi Must We drift to
our doom because the cotton States will not moveP
But how can they mover They are subjugated,
and therefore powerleSs. And yet we must wait
for some one Of the cotton States to move !"
North Carolina is sovereign State-let her act for
herself She not responsible to the cotton States,
or to the Yankee States, for what she may do. She
does not belong either to Jefferson Davis or to Zeb-
ulon B. Vance. The hand of the despot may be
raised against her. but to the despot who shall
strike hcrt Her chosen representatives are now in
session in Raleigh. If they regard only two man,
or . few men clothed with authority, they will par
ley, and hesitate, and fail to act; but if they
gard the will of the people, the cries of their suf
fering and ruined country, and their own solemn
duty, they ,OiH act, and act at once.
We learn on good authority that six of the mem-
bers of Congress from this State are in favor Of
Convention, and that two others are "almOst per-
suaded to take ground for it Prompt action by
the Legislature would do much to strengthen the
hands of our members of Congress, as well as to
encourage the people and the soldiers.

The Wilmington CGrOlinian, replying to the at.
tack made by Gov Vance through his little image
the Conservative, on Gen. Whiting says:
ain our opinion, the vindication of the Governor
did not require the introduction Of General Whit
ing's name o IT "persona habits into the columns
of a public newspaper in any other way than
praise at such time as this-when he is unable to
defend himself-wounded, suffering, and helpless

Now we profess to 0e as close an observer, and had
as many opportunities of observing General Whit

We have the advantage of many of our cotempora-
ries in this respect for we have met with General
Whiting in society, on duty, and almost every
where about Wilmington. We have, besides, been
inimical to him-did not like the man-would have
liked at one time to find flaw somewhere in his
reputation in order to pull him down, as We con-
sidered he had done US an injury And yet we
never could find the General so much under the in

The truth is, no Governor of sovereign StRtsI

In the course of the debate in the Senate of this
State, on Tuesday last on the subject of arming
the slaves, Mr. Hail. of Hanover, said "he believed
the salvation of the Southern Confederacy depend
ed upon putting arm in the hands of the slaves"
If this be so, then the Southern Confederacy is
gone If the only hope of saving it consists in
armng and freeing the negroes then there is no
hope for it And it is on this black basis that we
are called upon to fight on and Eight it out!"

A SECRET SESSION. AND THE REsULT.-The two
Houses Of the General Assembly of this State were
in secret joint conference Tuesday evening last
and it is understood that as the result of their de-
liberations four commissioners, members OF the
LegiSIAtnre, have been sent to Richmond to ascer
tain the real condition of things and what prospect
there is Of peace. The commissioners left for Rich
mond on Wednesday. They may be expected to
return on Tuesday or Wednesday next; after which
Convention may be called, or nothing may be
DONE and the war may continue. Every thing ap
pears to be dark and uncertain. Mr.. Blair return
ed to Richmond on the 29d His second visit like
bis first, no doubt relates in some way to peace
1t is reported that Lincoln apprehends that foreign
powers will intervene far to raise the blockade,
and that he is disposed to come to terms of some
sort with the Confederates.
We are glad to see peace movements going on,
but we can perceive no sure ground for hope but in
State action. The States will be obliged to move
before permanent peace can be obtained, and the
sooner they move the better. Something may be
gained by sending commissioners to talk with Mr..
Davis, but we doubt it.
