few of our influential merchants at
tended IL. This was not so at first,
Latterly country merchants and per-
sons from without the city made up a
large proportion Of its attendants.
This ought not so to be. The speaker
related several instances of It's saluta'
ny influence which had come under
his own observation, It's tendency,
as had been remarked, was to com
mereial probity. He had himself, on
two or three occasions, received sums
Of money in consequence of the good
impulse here impaired. He was sure
also that the business Of New York
could be conducted on christian prin-
eiples; aud that there was more pune
tuality and honor ia commercial trans
actions in consequence Of these chris
tian influences.

Where Are We !

The roore we reflect upon the condition and
stains" of the Southern States the more we be-
oon,a confused and muddled. We cannot COM
,,rabend the situation. When the war broke out
Il xras declared to be- on the part of the North,
war not for conquest-not for subjugation, but to
restore the union of the States. President Lin
coin so announced it, and during the continuance
OF hostiites he repeatedly declared that restora-
ton to the Union would take place upon the sub
mission of the South to the government Of the
United States We all know how the war ended
our unconditional surrender. We accepted the
terms imposed, have complied with every require
ment demanded of us in perfect good faith, and
vet wa are no nearer being in the Union, or form
ing a part of the Government, than We were
txalve months ago. We have no voice in the ma
tional councils because we are not in the Union,
and yet we are heavily taxed by the government
as forming portion of the Union, and not only
So but we are also called upon to pay taxes levied
by the government when were in armed resist
ance to it, having de facto government OF our
own, and recognized as such, or, st any rate, as
belligerents. We are free to confess that we are
puzzled in the extreme. We are either members
of the Union, entitled to voice in the manage
ment of affairs in the enactment of laws the bur-
dens of which we have to bear, or we are OUTSIDERS
and not liable to their enforcement. Ii we re-
member rightly, taxation without representation
was one of the causes of the revolution against
the mother country, aud so charged IN our declaf-
alton of independence but things have changed
since then, and we find majority IN Congress
now advocating and enforcing the very doctrine
against which their fathers rebelled. We suppose
however, that as a subjugated people, we have no
right to say word, but it nevertheless seems
strange to us how we can be, at one and the same
time, part of the government, and yet not part
of it be at the same time in the Union, and yet
out of it also. It is a problem more difficult to
solve than any proposition we have yet discovered
in Euclid, and if any one can enlghten Us Ve VIII

The State Convention.

Mr. Clark, of Craven, is certainly entitled to the
thanks of the people of the State for his resolu-
ton proposing the immediate adjournment of the
Convention. We hardly expect to see sufficient
patriotism in that body to adopt resolution which
at one blow deprtves them of political power and
q liberal per diem. An impoverished people, al
ready overburdened by necessary taxation, We fear
will be compelled e to pay the fiddler" for the
expensive amusement of this useless body.
The Convention was called under the military
authority of the President for certain purposes.
These have been performed at their first session
in such q manner entirely satisfactory to
Mr.. johnson, and they received his earnest thanks
therefor. When the Convention ad iourned III
October last, thought it prudent that it should
only be temporary. At that time VIC had no civil
government, executive Legislative or judicial, and
it was not certain that tho Legislature which had
been ordered would be recognized, or the Cover
nor to be elected would he permitted to hs inau-
gurated.
Sc far, however, as we had reason to look to the
President, most hopeful desires have been full
Iy realized Jonathan WORTH the choice of the
people, over the appointee Of the President as
Governor, ~sS almostimmediately placed in charge
Of the Executive functions of the State. The en-
actments Of the Legislature were recognized and
the powers of the Judiciary fully restored In fact
the whole military government ceased, and the
Federal officers duty in the State ordered
to hold themselves in readiness to support the civ
il authorities.
Such then is the condition of things under
which the Convention now re-assembles. The peo
pie of the State readily acquiesced in the necessi
ty of this body when called by the President, and
fully approved of the irregular in which it
sprung into existence the first step in the great
plan of reconstruction. The President, who call
ed this body together, for the purposes specified,
has declared by his proclamation. the same means
used in giving vitality to the Convention, that
North Carolina had fully complied with the requi-
sitions made upon her, and that tie war was now
at an end, and peace, an accomplished fact.
We see it intimated that some radical changes
in our State constitution will be attempted We
earnestly hope not. The people desire repose
rom political agitation. Their pecuniary matters
need all their attention. The poverty OF our State
