This bill provides that plenary power
shall be given to the Constitutional Com

they may remove them and appoint loyal
men in their places; and that a majority Of
the votes cast shall be sufficient to ratify the
Constitutions. This seems to US an excel

In earnest terms, and we trust the Congress
will speedily adopt some such measure. Mr.

great wonder, and produced small fortune
for its owner. But California has wealth of

Mr.. B. is eminently fitted for the business
in which he is engaged. In the language OF
friend, "the only obstacle is rebellion. II
the rebels continue to control, an acre OF
land here will be worth about what it was
when Sir Walter Raleigh's ships landed the
colonists in the early times" But we hope
for better things. We can say with conf
dence to all persons abroad, who con
template settling in North Carolina, that
the prospect is We shall soon have u stable
loyal government, with men in Office who
will extend cordial welcome to immigrants,
and that the policy of the new government
will be such in all respects as to render this
State very desirable to settlers with or with
out capital.

soon, circular from the Executive Commit
