The return Of the Washington Connis
sioners naturally awaksns new and YER
general attention - to tho fature OF tha
State, and the conditions on which Nortl
Carolina is to form her civil polity. Mr.
Holden remains in Washington to receiv,
more full instructions as to bis duties q,
Provisional Governor Of the State. He
will exercise the civil functions, merely
receiving the cooperation of the Military
Commander of the Department. Upon
the return Of Mr.. Holden measures will
be taken to elect and call convention to
amend the Constitution to make it con.
form 70 the chasged condition Of affairs
in the State. This Constitution will un-
doubtedly recognise the abolition of slavery
as fact accomplished, and will be adopt
ed, as well ss the correlative MEASURE
the approval of the amendment to the
Constitution of the United States forever
abolishing slavery throughout the land.
The war OF the roses has suddenly
ceased. Mr.. "Bat. Moore" who on leav-
ing for Washington was regarded as a
rival OF Of Mr. Holden as a candidate for
Governor, returns placid and satisfied -
The tone Of the editorials 10 both the
Progress and Standard is chaHged. There
IS to be no more abuse OF the aristocracy
proper. Mr.. Moore, who is generally
acceptable to the intelligent and wealthy
,lasses, but who lacks popular support
sufficient to make him Governor, will
give way to Mr.. Holden in the Guberna-
torial race, and. in return for his self
denial, the Legislature, when it assemblies,
will make him Senator for six years.
There 10 not the difference OF . straw
between either party-I mean the /" tis-
and the "Uoion party" par er-
'eiience, as they think and call themselv ties
On the subject Of extending the suffrag ge,
Mr.. Pennington, in a long editorial yes
.erday, which / enclose, asserts that there
3 not a single man in the State 10 favor
# giving the loyal black men the ballot
And he ought to know. He assumes to
iuo,e President Johnson's sentiments or
his subject, and claims TO be in perfect
'ccord with him. Ii the spirit and senti
ments expressed by Mr.. Pennington are
Indorsed BY the President, he must I'D ve
changed very much since reported bis

Igo. 1t is cold comfort for the color ed
poor return for the generous 10y
Ilty, the sacrifices be has made in the
upport he has given to the Governm 10,
Turing the dangerous struggle from which
be country has just emerged.
These Jealous "Unionists" will not OBJ
ect to walk up to the polls and vote side
y side with the white traitors and rebels
whose hands have for years been redd en-
d with the blood of Union men, AID
Those souls are black with treason-but
hey recoil with horror from the bare vision
II the black men going to the polls -
These "Union men" having the newep pa
Ser press under their control here, when
Fe occupied the State, have naturally ex-
.rted a wid. influence 10 the formation of
opinion, and in shaping the future policy
II the State. Both The Progress and The
Standard, but particularly the former,
have steadily discoun,enanced the extap-
hon Of the vote to the freedmen; a nd
