The Sentinel, Gov. Worth's organ, reeklng
as it does with disloyalty and hatred to the
Union. presumes to justify itself by appeal
ing to President. johnson. That paper and
its partizans hold President Johnsons plan
of restoration in the utmost contempt
Mild, moderate, generous as it is, they Will
not even carry that out. Why, the mover OF
the resolution (Hon G. G. Clarke to dissolve
the Convention, is himself standing monu-
ment of opposition to the Presidents policy,
in that he was elected to Congress Boosting
that he could not and would not take the
test oath, over a gentleman who could take
it. President johnson has repeatedly de-
Jared that the members elect to Congress

est oath and he has also declared most en-
,hatically, time and again, thatif there be but
i've thousand loyal persons i'll State, to them
must be confided the important work OF res
toration. The President does not regard
either Gov Worth, the Sentinel, or Mr..
Clark as loyal He declared last November
that the election of Gov. Worth had greatly
managed the work of restoration, and that
mother step in that direction might prove
atal If the fatal step had not been already
taken, it certainly was taken by Gov Worth
and his friends on Thursday last, when they
attempted to dissolve a loyal Convention OF
the people of this State.

AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE Mr.. Phillips, of
Orange. introduced an Ordinance in the Con-

ton to amend the State Constitution in 1871.
Mr.. Phillips, although he says he is for the
white basis, would tie up the hands of the
people for five years to come, leaving the
present unjust basis in operation.
What will the free white men of Orange
say to this proposition to fetter them for
years on this vital subject? Warren County,
for example, under the present basis, with
white population of 5000, has an equal voice
in the Legislature with Orange, which has a
white population of II, 300. Such gross in
equality ought not to he continued for five or

Corn FOR FUEL The Galcna Gazette
says that corn was so plentiful in Illinois
last year that, in some parts of that State, it
was used for fuel 1t was considered much
cheaper than wood. Ears of corn could be
bought for ten cents per busnel, per measure,
and seventy bushels, worth seven dollars,
will measure a cord. A cord of wood in
Guiding saving, cost nine dollars and fifty
cents, which is two dollars and fifty cents
more than the cost of a cord of corn, besides
the fact that corn produces more heat that
the wood and the opening of adequate high
ways to the seaboard for western productions,
and home markets furnished by the protec-
ton of American industry would be put to
more profitable uses.

The Sentinel is alarmed at the prospect of

Legislature. We do not sympathize in this
alarm. The time has come for change of
basis and we believe it to be the duty of the
Convention to make the change Let the
white basis, so-called, I've established, and let
it be either of votes or of the whole white
population. Nor can we perceive any strong
reason for property qualification for men,

provide that no person under twenty-five

Mr.. cIark,s Resolutions,

The extraordinary resolutions of Mr.. Clark,
of Craven, proposing to adjourn or dissolve
the State Convention, will be found in the
first days proceedings OF that body.
These resolutions assume that the work
for which the Convention was elected has
been accomplished; but Mr.. Clark was care
full not to set out in his resolutions the decla-
ration by the President in his proclamation,
and also by the Provisional Governor in
both his proclamations providing for the
Convention, that the Convention possesses
.'authority to exercise within the limits of
said State. all the powers necessary and
proper to enable such loyal people of the
State of North Carolina to restore said State
to its constitutional relations to the federal
government" We say Mr.. Clark was careful
to omit the above, for ne well knew that if
he set out this language his resolutions would
have no relation to the object he has in view.
The Convention, thus chosen and clothed
with :" all the powers necessary and proper"
to restore the State to the Union, has not get
accomplished this 7rork ; and therefore, any
proposition to dissolve the Convention at
this time, is in direct opposition to the au
thOrity of the President, and is calculated to
prevent the restoration of the Union.
1t is also assumed by Mr.. Clark, that the
Convention does not derive its authority from
the people, and that further action by it
would be revolutionary. If this be so, then
all that has been done in the way of reor
ganizing the State is purely military in its
characteristics been done without sthe au-
thority of the people, and is much revoiu-
tionary as any future action would be. If this
be So then are the members of the Conven-
ton mere instruments in the hands of the
military, and, far as the people are con-
cerned, they are intruders and usurpers.-
Such is the logical result from the position
taken by Mr. Clark, Gov. Worth and others.
The Sentinel says " President johnson has
announced that nothing more is required of
u.s." This is VIGOROUSLY untrue President
johnson has announced no such thing. On
the contrary we have no doubt the President
would regard the present occasion as a most
opportune one for comforting with the loyal
delegates of the people of this State on the
great business of restoration. A fine oppor-
tunity is now presented, through the action
Ofour State Convention, to reconcile the diff
ferences between the President and Congress,
and to pave the way for the admission OF
North Carolina to her full privileges as a
member of the Union. If this opportunity
is allowed to pass by, years may elapse be
fore the State is restored The issue there
fore is, Union or Disunion! If the proper
steps are taken by this Convention, the State
can be restored by the first day of next Janu-
airy; but if the Convention should adjourn
and nothing should be done, we may look
for continued disunion, military rule, taxa
ton without representation, anarchy, vio
lence, and perhaps civil war! If these ca
lamities should befall us, the people will
know who to hold responsible for them.
