question for your decision is whether..you VIII
take it with its defects, such as they are, or
continue to live under the Constitution Its
present state
This question was of course presented to
me as one Of your Representatives at the
close of our labors, and felt it to be my du-
ty to vote against the Constitution as a whole.
In this was actuated by objections to Its de-
tails, as above set forth, and also by con-
viction entertained in the beginning OF our
second session, which has gathered strength
by subsequent reflection, that the Conven-
ton had no power to act outside OF the scope
assigned it by the military authorities 1t
was assembled as Il part OF the provisional
machinery of the President for reconstruct
ING the State, and when that was done its VI
tality was exhausted. 1t could not IN any
sense sit as Constitutional Convention OF
the people of North-C Carolina invested with
their sovereign power, and authorized to ex-
ert it in their behalf because not called to-
gether and organized in the mode pointed
out by law 1t was part of the military
organization for rehabilitating the State;
and when the President proclaimed that of
flee completed, and the State again in the
Union and invested with its customary pow
ers. 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 popular 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 constitu-
tional in its organization, it was contrary to
all sound doctrine in representative govern
ments that it should perform work outside
of that which it was appointed to perform.
The Convention was appointed, as under
stand, to perform certain acts which we were
told were conditions precedent to our read
mission to the enjoyment ofrights as State.
We were elected, take it, because of sup
posed fitness for this special service. To
avail ourselves Of an appointment, because it
happened to have no express limitation to its
objects, and go into general revision offun-
damental law, when nothing of the sort was
contemplated, does not consist with my sense
of representative propriety.
have thus submitted to you, briefly, such
views as occur to me In relation to the pro-
posed amendments of the Constitution. The
matter now rests with you for decision
Other matters of much interest, l should be
glad to say something about, but have al
ready extended this communication beyond
its intended length, and must defer other
topics to future opportunities.
Very respectfully, your ob't servant.

DR.. SEELYE'S
LIQUID CATARRH REMEDY.
SYMPTOMS.

The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have cold, that they
have frequent attacks, and are more sensitive to
the changes OF temperature. In this condition
the nose may be dry, or slight discharge, thin
and acrid, afterwards thick and adhesive, my
ensue. > ~
As the disease becomes chronic, the discharges
are increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawked or
coughed Off The secretions are offensive, cau'.
ing bad breath; the voice thick and nasal; the
eyes are weak; the sense of smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.
E Another common and important symptom Of
Catarrh is that the rerson is Obliged to clear his
throat in the morning Of slick or Shiny nu'
cous, which has fallen from the head during tue
night. When this takes place, the person may
be sure that his disease is on it's way to the lungs
and should lose no time in arresting it..
The above are but few of the many Catarrhal
symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for our
pamphlet describing fully all symptoms; it VIII
be sent FREE to any address. Also direction
where to procure the medicine.
We are receiving letters from all parts OF the
Union, and also numerous testimonials from

BILE merits.

THE telegraph announces that the

commission convened by Gen. :Scho.

Cumstances OF the case are these: On a
recent Sunday, the Doctors family was
driving to church, in RockbrIdge couu-
~, when their carriage was Overtaken
Inn nnrrow part OF tho road by tho
carriage of Mai. John II. EChols, con-
thinning his family, and driven by II

Doctors driver, and in tho effort smash
cd one Of the wheels of the Doctors vc.
hiclc, the horses attached to which took
fright, ran away, and completed tho
destruction of tho carriage, but fOrtu-
nalely without injuring any Of the Oc'
Cupants, When the Doctor came home,
two or three days after, and heard of
tho occurrence, he rode over to Major
Echol's to chNstisC the negro. He found
him In tho field nt work, told him for
what purpose ho hRd come, and struck
him with II small stick, which tho mo-
gro wrenched from bis hand and stnrt-

halt or no would shoot him, and the
negro not obeying tho order, tho Doc

Sweet susie Brown, my pretty one
I'm sure yon must Fennismbef-

The leigh.Tide in December.
When all the bellies and all the beAux,
In spite OF frostB, would 90 forth,
And squeeze, beneath the bunaloeS
Each others hands, &C.
How brightly stTeamed the northern lights
Above the snowy TidgeSl
How pleasant were the winter nights
Observed rom country bFidge3i
Where "tolln "a sought with such address,
MID laughter, fIln and hRtteEyi
And lovers feel, amid the pres,
Each others hearts, etc.
'Tis very singular and queer,
or all most mad devices,
Love's iire should burn 30 bright and clear
on fuel formed OF Ices;
And yet we know It's flames, indeed,
Most brilliantly will glow forth,
When Tanned behind O hying steed,
Hid under furs, &c.
I'm sure you mind the village Inn,
The supper and the revel;
How, In the general dim andain,
Love shot his arrows level;
And don't forget how Henry Kidd
Embraced you In the buttery;
You kissed his llps-y0u know you did,
And he kissed yOurs, etc.
And when the forIelts were all paid,
How one old maid resisted,
Until the younger ladies said
A pfude they all detested.
"DeSistI |" she Cried-the ancient Ann
Her modeSty TO show forth,
am never yield to any man
My virgin lips" Sc.
The wlntry winds, the homeward way,
Blow chilly In our taces,
But underneath our furS we lay,
All snugly In our places;
One girl upon the forward seat
The pretty Nellie Satturlee-
Declared Jack Frost hGd ptnched her feet,
And Billy Frost, etc.
Another, underneath her robes,
(Tha bntfalOes, not her EdreReS)
Fair Patience, with attendant Job,
Detected In careSSeS.
Sprang up, with angry, blushinp face,
Her Innocence TO show forth,
But showed her curlS were out OF place,
Her collar gone, &C.
And then tho parting at the doorl
It's tender, mutual bllSsesl
Sweet lips, from their abundant store,
Gave 10 tho pOOr-in kisses
The parting word-the long embrace
Cupids most dangerous wItchery,
Brought fire TO many q bOylSh face,
And raised sweet hopes. etc.
Dear Susie Brown, save you and i,
or all that load Of meFrlment,
No other pairs are left To try
loves latest, best experiment;
And when tho coming SHOWS are spread,
Our mutual hopes shall glow forth
Mny Hymen bless us when we're wed,
Increase our joys, 80.

The Tribune is severe on the depart
ment (male) clerks ut Washington who
want their pay increased, and on the
heads OF departments who recommend
1t because the clerks cannot support
respectable" style of living on present
pay. We quote:
We once knew theological student
who had visions, and was miraculous
IL directed to ''go to Rome" HestatOd
this to hnrd.headed old Doctor of
Divinity in this city, who, at once sus-
pecting dyspepsia, exclaimed: go TO
Rome! Nonsense, my son! Go DIGm
This Is I'M excellent gospel for the dis
satisfied clerks in Washington. The
Secretaries, we nrs told, have deter
mined not to oust the female clerks;
and the more generally men now en-
gagged in writing for the Government
take up the noble shovel and the "ro.
spectacle" hoe, the more room there
Will be in tho Departments for the Wild
ows and daughters Of the dead soldiers.
Able.bOdiCd laborers, we are informed,
are in great demand everywhere, and
especially at the West. Wherefore we
bespech these distracted petitioners,
driven well nigh to desperation by the
impossIbility OF maintaining their Ere
spectability" in Washington, to let the
"rcspectabiIity" aforesaid "gO TO the
vows" The game isn't worth the
candle. With two good arms, an equal
number Of legs, and tho usual supply
OF dorsal muscles, II man ought TO be
ashamed to lose his "IespectaOIlity" by
clinging to II business which does not
support him and his family; and the
sooner he mnkes bee.line for some To-
cAlily cheaper TO live in, and less fns'
tidious In its tastes than Washington,
the better 1t will bo for himself, and the
more comfortable for his wife and
children,
