Deep River, in Guilford, on Saturday the
both Of August, DR.. VIM. P. Pugh was called
to the Chair, and David Hodgin appointed
Secretary.
On motion, the Chairman appointed a
committee consisting of DR.. N. Mendenhall,
Jonathan Harris and Geo. w. Bowman,
Esqs., of Guilford, R. F. Trogden, of Ran
dolph, and Charles league, Esq, of For
sythe, to draft resolutions expressive of the
sentiments of the meeting. The committee,
after consultation, reported the following,
which were adopted
WHEREAS, There unfortunately exists
difference in the plans of the Executive and
Legislative Departments of the government
in regard to recognizing the same, which
has a tendency to resard reconstruction, pre-
vents the influx of capital and skilled labor,
paralyzes industry, and prevents improve
ment; therefore,
Ieesolced, That we earnestly desire the re-
organization of the government as early as
can be, on sure and permanent basis.
Resolced, That the Legislative Department
has the right to reconstruct the government
of the United States, so as to secure the gov
eminent from further danger by the return
of the States lately in rebellion.
Resolued, That We approve of recognizing

ts9 government by loyal men, and placing
the control Of the States IN their hands,
which plan is in accordance with the policy
OF Congress, and the declarations of President
johnson.
Resolced, That we have confidence in the
Republican Union men who have stood by
and sustained the government.
ResoJoed, That we approve of a call for a
convention of Southern Union men to be
held in Philadelphia on the Sd of Septem-
Der next, and that every Congressional dis
trict in the South ought to be there rep
resented.
The following resolution was afterwards
proposed, which being discussed by Messrs
Harris, Mendenhall, Holton, Tourgee and
others, was adopted, 1O2 ayes to 20 nays,
some not voting.
ResoJoed, That should Congress find the
obstacles to an early restoration insurmounta-
BILE, we believe it should make provision for
the protection of the Union men of the
South until order shall be fully restored.
Jonathan Harris and A. W. Tourgee were
chosen as delegates to the Convention, to be
held in Philadelphia on the third of Septem-

anti-tarif, yet minimum duty feature was in
serted by him in the tariff act that he after
wards opposed, and which influenced South
Carolina to move the subject of nullifcation2
If this is the great sin compliance of, then
that sin rests upon all, for all have sinned
and come short of the standard asked for in
the political career of w. w. Holden. Do
they condemn him for his opposition to the
Confederate government Then they con-
denim Andrew johnson for making him Pro-
vlsional Governor. If they condemn him
for his Unionism, then they ignore the re-
quirements of the Presidents plan of restor-
ing the late revolving States to their federal
relations If they accuse him of disloyalty
to the late Confederacy, then they concede
the lawful authority of that government and
deny MIN the right of obedience and loyalty
to the federal Union.
If he was the choice of the President to
provide provisional government for North
Carolina-and he discharged the duties re-
quired of him, and it has rendered him I'M
popular with his accusers, then his course
is the more justifable and theirs the more
Objectionable. If the government is salts
fed with his loyalty, then his accusers have
10 right to sit in judgment upon his acts
Ii so, his acts are not a test of loyalty, and
the Executive and Congress has failed to de-
fine the question of loyalty. All Union men
then come under the term of disloyal in the
estimation of his accusers to the DGois con-
Germ. For shame! Away with such shiftings
and subterfuges. Let his accusers cease from
principles of justice, and the mist thrown
between the accused his accusers will be-
come absorbed; and the political charac-
tiers of w. w. Holden will shine the more
Respondent. His accusers will then grow
less and less, and become his friends and eu-
logisers, because of his faithfulness as pub
lie man. MARK the perfect man, and be-
hold the upright; for the end of that man
is peace. But the transgressors shall be de-
stroyed together; the end of the wicked
shall be cut off, ST.

A WONDERFUL. WATcH-A remarlsabl

A WONDERFUL WArcH.-A remarkable
mechanical curiosity has recently been con-
structed in London. 1t is a watch belong
ing to a member of Parliament, and designed
and made expressly for him, by James Fer
guson Cole, the celebrated London watch
maker This unique pocket chronometer has
a silver dial, on which are nine hands indi-
eating respectively the hours, minutes and
seconds; the day s of the months; the months
of the year. It eorrects itself for enequal
months, that is to say, changes When they
have thirty and when thirty-one days; and
also corrects itseI for leap year. 1t is so con-
structed that s.ny slight agitation of the
watch, such as the ordinary exercise of walk
ing, winds it up. Thus it may be worn and
will go perfectly for years, without requir-
ing even to be- opened, although it can also
be wound by a key in the usual manner.
The dial is arranged in five circles, and within
the largest tie hour circle, there is a semi
circle showing the moons age and phases
by means of gold on ground of blue steel.
At the back OF the watch is a gold indicator
for ascertaining the time in the dark by
touch. The complication of the mechanism
may be imagined, and yet the watch is of
ordinary dimens ions and may be convent
emily worn in g,sntlernan's pocket. 1t cost
the sum of three hundred guineas.-Mecha

We stated recently that the Philadelphia
Convention had substantially endorsed the
test oath. The Salisbury Banner takes ex-
ception to this, and argues that as Gov. Gra-
ham wrote an argument against this oathSin
1865, and as he was member of the com
mittee on resolutions it cannot be possible
that what we say is so. What, then, did the
Convention mean when it declared that
abyal" representatives from the Southern
States should be admitted? What did
President johnson mean when he said the
members elect from the South should be per-
sons who could comply with Gny existing
constitutional or legal test 2" And what did
Mr.. Seward mean when he said in his Tam
MANY letter, written about this very Conven-
ton. that all constitutional tests for admission
to Congress, with all the improvements up
on them by legislation should be main
tained9 Will the Banner answer these ques-
ton g The Banner gets excited, and makes
itself-we were about to say ridiculous-b
abusing US and calling us names. Abuse and
hard names amount to nothing. They are
always resorted to by writers and speakers
who fear they cannot sustain themselves by
argument. Let the Banner keep its temper
If it knew how little we cared for its exhibit
tons of i'll feeling towards US, it might cease
to make them. We beg the Editor to keep
cool. Let him advance an argument now
and then, and it may be we will find space
to answer him
So far as Gov. Graham is concerned, he
was not free agent at Philadelphia. His
property and his life were in the hands of
the President. He is liable at any moment
to be arrested and sent to Fortress Monroe
or Fort Delaware. He could not, therefore,
have afforded to act Independently at Phil
adelphia, even if he had desired to do so. If
he had risen in his place and repeated his
argument of last year against the test oath,
he would not only have incurred Executive
displeasure, but he would probably, like
Vallandigham, have been excluded from the
Convention.

To His Political Opponents.

MEssRs. EDITORS Il write this in defence
of him who is bitterly assailed and wrong
fully accused by his political enemies. 1 do
so, because justice demands of an enemy an
impartial decision in the case of the accused.
l do so, to remove error, to set up truth in its
stead, and if possible, pull down that noun
tain of prejudice which darkens the mind
and clogs the understandings of most, as 1
believe, of his accusers. | ask what has W.
w. Holden done that he should be assaulted
with such bitterness by his political oppo-
nents Has he changed his political views
since the collapse of the late rebellion2 Will
his accusers tell me in what particular p
Where is the proof2 He is charged with in
culcating the doctrine of secession before the
war. Where is the proof2
l admit he entertained abstract views on
the subject, as did all men in the South du-
ring the heated discussions of the question
of abolishing slavery by an act of Congress
I admit in those days the opinion was gen
orally impressed upon the Southern mind, if
an overt or fragrant act should be COMPUTED
by Congress against the settled principles of
the Constitution, the States would have a
right in Convention to appeal for grievances
and failing, a majority concurring, could
withdraw or dissolve their relations with the
federal compact
Did he ever affirm such right to single
State then or during the movement of 1860

seat 1t aoas to soatch and acait." What
did that mean2 Did it mean secession then,
or does it mean it now? What did the Sc
cessionists call him then " t9ol5naissionist."
What after Traitor, tory alder and abetter
to desertion. What do they call him now
Z" Dirt-eater." Does all this mean secession
Did he mean secession when he published
the circumstances of seventy odd counties in
this State against the war; and the petitions
of those people praying the Governor to call
Convention of the people in 1868, and for
which his property was destroyed and his life
threatened L ask his accusers to answer if
all this meant secession Where is the con-
.sistency9 Do not his accusers blush at their
own tergiversations ? 1t is true he was once
identified with wing or federal policy of the
government. 1t is also true he afterwards
became identified with democratic policy of
the government. But I ask, what can his
accusers make of that?
