THIS ANSWER.

Said Gen. Doekery, relieves us of world of trouble
THE HON. e. @. READE
Was next called upon. He asked leave to assure
General Howard that his kindly feelings were prop
erly understood and appreciated That ne was from
the northern border of the State his friend General
Dockery from the southern He kaew that his friend
would bear him out in the assertion that under the
old system, cruel and hard master was rare thing
in North Carolina. That there was an attachment
between master and slave in North Carolina under
the old system, which the war nor the ordinancs
passed by this Convention could dissolve He believed
therefore, that in district In North Carolina could
freedman be imposed upon His former master would
not allow t when appealed to, but would protect him
Such was bis opinion
He did not think himself better master than
others of his neighbors. He had owned but few
slaves thirty or forty Yet there were members
of his family to whom, ,4n the whole course of his life
ne had never spoken an unkind word Therefore, he
thought that this matter left to the people oi
ne State 1t would be justly and properly regulated
The Intelligent people, and he begged eay to
the General that orr people were intelligent, would
do it better than the Freedman Bureau because they
knew what best There were some difficulties
with the negroes-some misunderstanding-bu the
people could regulate these things better than the
agents of the Bureau.
GENERAL HOWARD
Wished to know if he thought that the agents had
caused any of these difficutiee.
JUDGE READE
Thought that they had. Their instructions to the
negroes had been glven he doubted not Ia good faith
Bat their instructions to the negroes to go to
work, aud if their employees did not pay them they
woald See that it DONE This fastered the belief
that agents Of the Bgreau better friends than
their former masters and made the negroes distrust
full Besiies, white men had been brought from his
county on the declaration of freedmen whether
sworn or not he did not know aud put in jail here t.
DC tried. This also created bad feeling.
In cclcluson the Judge again reiterated his assur-
tree to Gen Howard that the Convention full,
appreciated ais good purposes.
IN CONCLUSION,
General Howard mAde few remarks repeating sue
inctIy What he had said, and impressing upon tn.
htods OF the members OF the Convention the neces-
SHY for some action on the subject.

us be kept from the arena of party poll
tics. There are, at present, in North
Carolina, some real bonds of attachment
between the two races. Families have
been brought up and nurtured together
under our former domestic relations,
faithful servants have gained the esteem
and confidence of their former masters,
and possess and reciprocate tender feel
ings of affection from those whose infancy
they have watched, and in the pleasures
and sports Of whose childhood they have
participated. Their services and SYM
pathy in Affections are remembered. and
the dearest memories of the dead are asso-
clated and shared with them. From
such ties, and from the common feelings
OF interest, justice and humanity, more
is to be hoped for the improvement and
welfare of the colored race, than from the
agitation OF lmpracticable claims for So
cial and political rights, or from the aid
of those whose interference is likely to be
regarded With jealousy and met with re-
sentmen We deplore the premature
introduction of any schemes that may
disturb the operation of these kindly feel
lngs, or infame the inherent social
prejudice that exists against the colored
race. The necessary legislation should
be conceived in spirit of fairness and
justice, and in full and unreserved con-
tormlty to existing relations. But it
should be suited to the actual condition
OF the paHties-and be aimed rather to
their material and moral welfare, and to
the general peace and rosperity of the
State, than to any theoretical schemes of
social and Political equality.
Those of our laws that are inapplicable
to the changed relation of master and
slave, and those that are in contravention
to it, should be repealed and many new
laws are now indispensably necessary to
meet the present condition of things
These laws should be drawn with great
care, and with the most mature conside-
ration.
The committee, therefore. recommends
that the Provisional Governor of the State
be requested to appoint and constitute a
commission of three gentlemen, eminent
for legal ability, to prepare and submit
to the consideration of the Legislature, at
its next session, system Of laws upon
the subject of freedmen, and to designate
such laws or parts of laws, now in force,
as should be repealed in order to conform
the statutes of the State to the ordinance
of this Convention abolishing the insti-
tuition of slavery. JOHN Pool,
Chairman for the Committee.

We are Going Home.

We have seen nothing more clearly
indicating the pleasure with which some
of the Southern people return. to the
Union than the short address of Mr.
Reade, President of the North Carolina
Convention, delivered on taking his seat
to preside over that body. In the course
of his remarks he uses the following Ian
guage:
"Fellow- citizens, zoe are going home.
Let painful reflections upon our late sepa-
ration, and pleasant memories OF our
early union, quicken our footsteps TO-
ward the old mansion, that we may grasp
hard again the hand of Friendship which
stands at the door and, sheltered by the
old homestead, which was built upon
rock and has weathered the storm, enjoy
together the long, bright future which
awaits us.
This is uttered in the true spirit Of
brotherhood. It shows that the influence
of early education has not been utterly
destroyed by rebellion, but that there
are those whose memories 60 back to ear
lier days, and who rejoice in the prospect
of again claiming their rights of citizen
ship beneath the folds of the banner for
which their fathers fought.
eve are going home, . says Mr.. Reade.
To an American citizen such an express
ion is full, of. meaning. It conveys an
idea of all that is most cherished-of
rest, of peace, Of happiness. The word
''home" symbolizes all these. It is the
place we retire to when the struggles of
the day are over, to find sympathy and
love. That any one should use such an
expression in regard to re-establishment
of political relations, shows how much
bitterness and sorrow was entailed by
separation, and how powerful are the
emotions with which those who were un-
willingly forced out of the Union are
agitated at the prospect of claiming their
old position in their own old country.
It is, indeed, like an exile returning
to the country of his birth and his affec-
tions Those who were forced by cir
cumstances to submit to the domination
of the rebellion were indeed in worse
than foreign country, for they had not
the privilege of being strangers. They
were compelled in many cases to become
citizens of foreign Power and to take
up arms for it. To such men it will in
deed be pleasure to unite with Mr..
Reade in cherishing pleasant memories
of our early union" so as to "quicken
their footsteps toward to the old sfman-
