undoubtedly lost caste at Washington, as they have
lost caste before the world for such manifest lack
of seifrespect in continuing our State under the
yoke of usurpation when the remedy was at their
hands. So it ever ia and ever will be--men who
have not the moral courage to assert their rights
in becoming manner, will forfeit the respect of
their adversaries and the confidence Of their
friends. temporzing iolicy, where great prn-
ciples and interests are Mt stake, Is always bad
policy, and the very worst policy that could be
pursued in this instance ~
Much as the delay that has interviewed in calling
Convention is obe regretted if not reprehended
it is still to be hoped that the legislature will not
adjourn without responding to the almost universal
wish of the people, and if the Governor for any
sinister ends shall think proper to interpose his
veto to dsappont that popular WISH let the respon
sibiity and the odium of the act rest alone on him.
Should he veto such an act his motives would be
too transparent to be hidden by any disguise, and
to override such veto would be justified before
the world. But tits q needless reflection upon the
integrity and sense of responsibility of the Cover
nor towards the people, from whom he holds his
office, to believe he would veto such an act.
1t will not do for public servants to believe that
the spirit of the people has been so entirely
crushed by their recent disasters that their rights
and wishes can be safely trifed with or despised.
The day of doom is not more certain than that the
power of the people will yet be indicated, and
that their displeasure will be visited upon all their
public servants who have violated their trust or
who have designedy or by neglect of duty CON
tributed to fasten upon them the hated Consttu-
ton OF 1864" &a1 -g aATTAKAPAs.

Why DON'T the LEGISLATURE Call a Conventions
This question is daily asked, but who can answer
it? 1t was expected by the people that this would
be the very first act Of their representatives, but
thus far, they have been sadly disappointed u
Is everything relating to the organic law of the
State to be left in doubt and uncertainty? Every
sensible man knows that the Constitution of 1852
is the only legitmately adopted Constitution Of
the State--and yet, every one knows equally well,
that our present Judiciary lowing its existence to
the abomination known as the Constitution
of ls64-will recognize only that instrument
by which it was created. This is a stand
ing insult to Louisiana, and ought not to be
endured longer than is necessary for Conven-
ton to assemble to speak in the name of the
people. R''* 10 eAF u HI
Then why does the General Assembly defer this
their primary and most important duty? They
clearly have az much right to call Convention as
to do any other act of legislation !; and until they
do SO, and the Convention shall have performed
its work, all other acts Of legislation are vain and
futile. Then why delay? Is it because the Cover
nor and bis appointees are opposed to a Conven-
ton? But why is the Governor opposed
to Convention? Is it that he wishes TO
perpetuate that usurpation of authority to
which the Constitution of 1864" owes its
existence? Is it that he knows The has no
grasp upon the popular confidence and fears his
throne might be disturbed? What other objections
can he possibly have? But are such considera.
tons to deter the representatives of the people from
the discharge of their most sacred duty? They
are, on the contrary, potent reasons to impel them
to prompt action. The Governor is, or ouqbt to

COTTAGE HONE, N. c., January Is, 1866.
My Dear SH-Y0ur letter of the Sd inst. was
forwarded to me from Lexington, Virginia. Ihave
delayed answer for few days, hoping to receive
yet reached me, and have not had the pleasure
of reading your editorial but, Judging from the
remarks in your letter, suppose it is similar
publication to what has recently appeared in many
General Jackson as suffering for the necessities Of
life, and appealing to the public for their relief
1t is source OF deep regret and modification to
me, and to my family and friends, that such mis-
understanding should exist regard to my circum-
stances. 1t is true that almost the whole of my
little fortune has been swept away. My noble
husband, actuated by patriotism, invested in Con-
tederate bonds, to assist the government, and |,
following his example, the consequence was the
loss of nearly the whole of his estate but God has
still left to me one of the kindest of fathers, who
has the means of providing all the comforts of life
for me and my orphan child. The pecuniary suf-
ferings of others in afflicted land have been SO
much greater than my own that, in this respect
have only need of a more thankful heart. And l,
of all others, should have no fears for the future
for the covenant-keeping God of my husband has
watched over US heretofore, and the love of this
great people to me and my little cHid on his ac-
count, fills my heart with grateful joy.
While 1t is one OF the greatest comforts of my
desolated life to see the many beautiful and elo-
quent tributes to the memory of my beloved hus-
band, and would gratefully accept any offerings
that are voluntarily given as testimonials of love
and gratitude to him, yet the contributions that
are now called for are given under false impress
sion, and it is inconsistent with my ideas of honor
and rectitude to receive them. / would, there
fore, beg that all efforts that are made to raise
fund for my relief" both in Charleston and else
where, be Immediately stopped.
With thanks to the warm hearted and generous
citizens of Charleston for their kind feelings to-
wards ME and mine,
remain, yours very truly,
