A CARD.
NEW ORLEANS, 18th April, 1866.

NEW ORLEANS, 18th April, 1866.
SIR Two friends have sent me copies of
your editorial containing many allegations
against me, made positively as of your own
knowledge, each of which the facts of my
history as known in North-Carolina will,
think, abundantly refute.
The statement which my friends think
ought specially to notice is this, which you
make on the authority of another, that - he
[Dr. Deems declared in substance frequently,
as we have been informed. that he would as
soon doubt the Christian religion as the
success of the Confederate cause"
have no doubt you were so informed, but
[ regret that you allowed any pressure. per-
sonal or political, to make you publish
statement so utterly without foundation in
fact and against one who has never shown
anything but kindness towards you. never
had such a sentiment as you assign, and nev-
er made such statement to the best of my
recollection and belief. Please publish this
Card in simple justice; and as 1 know not
the extent Of this calumny, 1 respectfully ask
my brethren of the press in North Carolina
to copy it.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES F. DEEMS,
Editor Of the Watchman.
Hon. W. W. HOLDEN.
In reply to the above we invite at
tention to the following statement, by
Col. c. L. Harris, one of the members
of the Convention, and also State Sena-
tor from the County of Rutherford, who
is sojourning Ill Iialeigh:
RALEIGH, April 20, 1866.
In June or July, 1884, heard the Rev c.
F. Deems deliver a speech in the town of
Ruthertordton, North Carolina. in which he
said among other things, that he would as
soon doubt the Christian religion as the
success or Righteousness OF the Confederate
cause. | am quite certain DR.. Deems used
this language. He preceded Gov. Vance
on the occasion. The latter was If that time
4 candidate for the Office of Governor.
G. L. HARRIS.
1t is uot necessary that we should
add anything to what Col. Harris has
said. We have proved the charge
We can assure DR.. Deems that no
pressure, personal or POLITICAL" has
influenced us i'll our course towards
him. We think his paper, Tie Uatch-
man, is one of the many serious him
drances to the work of restoration. 1t
is scattering among the people '' fire
brands, arrows and death" Our pur-
pose was to show that DIR. d. has not
materially changed from what he was
during the rebellion: and that, conse-
quently, he is not fit person to advise
the people what should be done to re-
store the Union on lasting basis. We
sincerely believe that if the teachings
of TIE WWchu,un should be received
aud put in practice, these States would
be involved again in civil war.
If Dr. Deems has ever shown us any
kindness We do not know it. If we
could be convinced that he had, we
would write it in marble; and if he has
injured us, we would write that in
sand. If we have ever shown him any
we have forgotten it. We
would not willingly iniurc him, but we
must do our duty as Union man.
We beg leave further to add that that
must be Il strange faith, especially in q
Christian minister, which is as strong
in temporal as it is in eternal things.

The JEWS AND THE NEW CONSTITUTIONS
Our jewish friends appear to have taken up the
idea that the Constitution of the State which
was voted on last week. contains a provision
which prevents them from being eligible office.
Such All idea is entirely erroneous as will be APP
parent careful reading of the section. Here
it is:
mo person who shall deny the being of AL
mighty God or the divine authority of both she
Old and New Testaments. who shall hold re-
ligiua> opinions Incompatible with the freedom
aud safety of the State, shall be capable of hold
ing any office place of trust or profit in any
civil department of the State
The old Constitution (previous to 1861 read
Divine authority of the Old or New Tesla
ments," aud did prevent Jews from holding office
under the State. because they do not acknowledge
the divine authority of the New Testament. But
the new Constitution says Divine authority of
both the Old and New Testaments." So that
whoever believes in the other of the les
taments is eligible to Office. according to the new
Constitution. No doubt about that.
Texas papers think there will be average
crop of cotton 10 that State, although the worm
has appeared in some places. Wheat aud corn

is the Spurge- nette (cridoscous stimulosuS} or,
