Report on Freedmen,s Address.

Submitted to the Convention by Mr..
Pool, Chairman of the Committee, on the
18th instant:
The Committee, to which was referred
the Address of the Freedmen's Conven-
ton, asks leave to submit the following
report
The subject matter of the Address and
petition could be more appropriately act
ed on by the Legislature, than by this
Convention. But the Importance of the
subject, and the necessity for careful and
conslderate action are so great that it
may be proper for the Convention TO take
some initiatory steps towards its adjust
ment.
The former relations of master and
slave having ceased in North Carolina,
superVehed, which require corresponding
Legislation. A large class of the popula-
ton, ignorant and poor, has been re-
leased from the stringent restraints OF
it's late social and political position, and
from its dependence upon the individual
obligations Of another class for It's sup
port, government and protection. And
it now becomes the duty of the State to
assume control of this change of rela-
tions, and to enact such laws as right
and justice may require, and as may be
most conducive to the general welfare
The abolition of slavery has been adopt
ed in good faith, and with the full de-
termination that it shall not again exist
in the State, either in form or substance.
But the consequences of it's former exis-
tence will inevitably effect the state OF
society for years to come. In conse-
quence Of his late condition as slave,
the freedmen is ignorant of the opera
tions of civil government, improvident
of the future, careless of the restraints of
public opinion, and without any real ap-
probation of the duties and obligations
imposed by the change in his relations
to society. It is the interest OF the white
race, if he is to reside among us, to i'm
prove and elevate him by the enactment
of such laws, conceived In spirit of
fairness and iberality, as will encourage
him to seek his true welfare In honest
industry, and the faithful discharge OF
the duties of life His intellectual and
social condition must depend upon his in
dustry and virtue.
Preiudices of social character will
probably exist forever. They are not
confined to this State, nor to those States
or countries where the institution OF
African slavery has been recognized but
have pervaded every society where the
two races have been brought in contact.
However unjust such prejudices may be
deemed in theory, wisdom and prudence
require that they should be 30 far recog-
nized and respected by Legislators, as to
avoid rash attempts at measures that
might serve only to infame and strength
en- them. Although we cannot hope tor
the entire correction of many OF the evils
under which we now labor, yet time Will
materially modify them, and much may
be safely trusted to it's silent but eneos, as
i've operSstlGHa h. nSSy avosd sia and above al
