HOUSE OF COMMONS

The Journal of yesterday was read and approved.
Mr.. McGehee asked leave to change his vote on
the question of laying on the table the resolutions
introduced by Mr. Hanes on yesterday. He bad
not heard the remarks of Mr.. Hanes in exposition
of the resolutions and voted in the negative not
perceving at the time that vote in favor of gen.
eral Convention of the States necessarily involved
q vote for calling State Convention, to which he
was opposed.
Hr. Fowle said that he should not oppose the
motion of his friend from Csswell, that he agreed
! in the main with. that gentleman in regard to his
views upon this subject, but did not consider them
as applying to this resolution. During the last
summer the subject of Convention was before the
people, and was argued at some length in Wake
county-that he had taken ground against State
Convention and had endeayored to show what evils
would flow from separate State action, Sut at the
same time he had taken position in favor of Gen.
era Convention of the Southern States in case the
times should demand any action. No evil certainly
can result from Convention called in accordance
with the Constitution Of the Confederate States, in
which Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina and the
other Southern States would be represented but on
the other hand much good to the whole country
may result As to the objection that State Con.
vention was necessary before General Convention
could be called this matter he bad mentioned before
his constituents, at the same time informing them
that the Legislature had the power to restrict the
Convention to the consideration Of that subject
only He would vote to allow the gentleman to
