NEW YORK

NEW iNhh.
The gold quotations at the New York
Board have remained very steady to-day.
The opening price was l49, it declined to
1857, and closed at $50. Considering
the heavy losses that stare numbers Of spc-
culatorS in the face, the StcadincsS Of the
market to-day is quite remarkable. There
must be great strife betwixt the bulls and
bears. Yet neither seems to have the adj
vantage to-day.
The New York Times of Thursday
announces the break down Of heavy Jul!
operator, by which Il number Of his col
leagues on the same side were placed in a
false position, and there was an immediate
effort to force up prices to relieve them
selves. The game, says the Times, since
the cessation of the export demand, is one
of surprises and sudden corners, which it
describes thus:
The process is to retire As much gold as
possihlc from the use Of the market, by
borrowing money on. it for II few days at
bank, To make the deliveries for Gold
Room account both difficult and costly.
When this is carried far enough to brighten
the STARTS, or to corner their deliveries, the
price is hurried up to the point at which
the l0nyS are willing to settle. After
which, the cash gold is'released, and again
made easy on the street, to tempt rcpc-
tition Of the game. OF course it is not
always successful.
Money was still easy in New York ut low
interest: say four to six per cent. The
gold panic having somewhat subsidized, the
stock market was better attended, and
stocks had improved. Moncycd men were
looking for the next steamer with great
interest.

This question was of course presented to-
me as one of your Representatives at the
close of our labors, and ] felt &c 70 pc nay
duty to vote against the Constitution as a
whole In this was actuated by opJectons
{ to its details. as above set FORTH and also py
a conviction entertained lnthe beginning 81
our second session, which has gathered
strength by subsequent refectlon, tnat Tue
Convention had no power to act outside OF
tbe scope assigned it by the military au-
thorities 1t was assembled as part OF the
provisional machinery of the President Tor
reconstructing the State, and when that was
done its vitality was exhausted. 1t coulo
not in any sense sit as a Constltutlonai Coh-
yention of the people of Notwithstanding, IN
vested with their sovereign power, anu au-
tborized TO exert it in their behalf, because
not called together and organized IN the
mode pointed out by law. 1t was part OF
the military organization for rehabilltatlnS
the State; and when the President pro
claimed that Office completed, and the State
again in the Union and invested with Its
customary powers, the Convention, as well as
all other parts of the machinery used, was
thereby legally dissolved.
If the Convention was not constltutlonally
and legally called, its work is without valid
ity, and cannot be helped by the sanction OF
a noDular vote. This is understood to have
been settled by the legal decisions OF matters
growing out of Rhode Islands attempt to
change her organic law few years since
But if the Convention had been constltu-
tional in its organization, it was contrary to
all sound doctrine in representatives govern
ments that it should perform work outside
of that which it was appointed to perform

OHIO DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
In Cincinnati, on the 9Th of July, Demo-
cratic State Convention was held, which pas
sed series of resolutions, from which we Sc
lect the following one:
" ResolUed, That the cruel treatment of
Jefferson Davis is unworthy of our age and
people, and that the West is not less indig-
nant at it than the South; and that we de
mand his Immediate trial for treason, on the
merits of the question whether any sovereign
State has not the right, which we claim for
Ohio, to secede from any Union threatening
her existence. We want to know whether
all parties will deny doctrine common to
them from Jefferson and Calhoun to Chase
and Greedy, SO that history and posterity may
get the truth at last"
There is the ring of the true metal about
that, and it conclusively shows that the war
has decided nothing but the superiour re-
sources in men and money of the North If
We, are suppressed for uttering such senti-
ments, it seems impossible to suppress the
sentiments themselves, even in Ohio The
word still moves, and it moves in a circle
We may return to first principles yet, in spite
of the present domination of Radical dog
mas.-Ric1naGnG Examiner.
The Examiner is hopeful. It expects yet
to "return to first principles" which means
the right of secession, anarchy, and despo-
tism. These Ohio Democrats who passed
the above resolutions areas thorough traitors
as the ES0nsiaer and its followers.

A Question-.An Answer.

We have heard the question frequently
asked, SIS man who has taken an oath to
support the Constitution and laws of the
United States, and then says and does every
thing he can to discredit and Witty all who
undertake to execute those laws, either loyal
to the government or worthy the confidence
of his neighbors 2" The universal answer is,
that he is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Times.
There are too many such people in this
State, and they are all supporters of Gov.
Worth. There is one man in Newbern, ap-
pointed Railroad Director by Gov. Worth,
who is as full of hatred to the national gov
eminent and to all who represent it, as an
egg is of meat. This person stood by the
polls in November last, and held up the
ticket for Governor of the person who was
opposed by Gov. Worth, and asked the peo-
pie if they wanted to vote "the free negro
ticket" And this too after the person thus
treated had generously procured his pardon
for him.
President Johnson's rule is, that his
friends-the true Union men-shall take an
active part in restoring the Union and that
secessionists and latter-day war men shall
occupy back seats. But the rule has been
iberately undone the Presidents work of
restoration as far as he could-the conspicuous
actors in this work are now unpardoned
rebels and traitors, and Union men are
& counted out'' as neither trustworthy or re-
spectacle. Rebel rule has been restored. All
that is needed is to have q. B. Vance for
Governor, Jonathan Worth for Lieutenant
Governor, and the fingers of Union women
under the fence, and Union men shot and
hanged, to complete the picture.

this paper IS reminded of secession NJ ~
Turner IS much more Of secessionist tha-
we have ever been. He proposed in the stata

in and last out of the secession dance H.
truth is, Mr. Turner'S Unionism was no..
more than skin deep. We can all now CO.
that his Unionism simply consisted in 1a en-

Mi. Turner said IN his speech the other
day, speaking Of Mr.. Gilner as q suitable
delegate to Philadelp hia, that Mr.. Gilmer
though he had good Union record, had
been good Confederate'x Mr.. Gilner,.
like Mr.. Turner, began to fight late. and the,
difference between them is, Mr.. Gilmer says
he has repented of his mistake, and Mr..
Turner has not. Mr.. Gilmer was so peni-
tent last year that the President pardoned
him. We hope he is penitent yet.
MIR. Turner did not begin to fight in ear
nest until he saw there was serious danger
that he would lose his negroes. Some years
ago, when he wanted to beat Mr.. Cameron
for the Senate, he was SO much opposed to
slavery that he predicted the day would
come when Mr. Cameron's broad acres would
be parcelled out among free white men,
The free white men of Orange listened, a
prejudice was created against Mr.. Cameron
because he was large STAKEHOLDER and in
this way Mr.. Turner defeated him for the
Senate. But as soon as MIR. Turner per-
ceived that his own slaves were in danger of
being set free he changed his tune forgot
his peace pledges, and urged the poor sol
diers who owned no negroes to fight to the
death for has negroes. He began to admire
and praise Davis and Lee, because they

| otism.
| By the way, we learn that Mr.. Turner's
course towards Mr.. Cameron told upon him

North Carolina Railroad. 1t is said that Mr.
Mordecai, who is a brother-in-law of Mr.
Cameron procured the defeat of Mr.. Turner
collection of Mr.. Turner'S course towards
Mr.. Cameron. Mr.. Mordecai was one of the
Directors, and was in situation to do this
thing 1t is not often we are able to agree
with Mr.. Mordecai, but we commend him for
this piece of work. 1t was well done. Mr..
Turner had procured his stock, so as to
qualify himself (about the only qualification
longed for it with wistful eye and watery
mouth. Having lost his slaves by the war,
and being too lazy to work, he wanted the
State to support him. But if Mr.. Turner
had been elected he could not have served,
as he has not been pardoned. Our loyal peo-
pie would have protested against allowing
an unpardoned rebel to handle or control
the income of our greatest State work and
they do now respectfully protest to the Presi-
dent of the United States against allowing
him to act as Director of this Road. A
loyal man aoas turned Iotet by Coz. Worth to
make room for this unpardoned rebel. We
respectfully invite the attention of the Presi-
dent to this fact, and we appeal to him in
the name of our loyal people, to direct that
Mr.. Turner shall not occupy so important an
Office as Director on our great State Rail
road, until he is pardoned.

Woodward, in delivering the opinion of the

GAS to the unreasonableness of holding
women liable to punishment for too free
