When the name OF G. ]. Rogers, of Wake
was presented Mr. Jas. F. Taylor objected
lie SdlU LuaC nc (uu So purely OH pOilllCdl
grounds. 1t was well known that Mr.. Rog
ers had opposed the Howard Amendment,
and that he had not acted with the loyal
members Of the Legislature of this State of
which he was member Mr.. Taylor held
that there must be some line of distinction
drawn, and according to hi. view of the
matter, Mr.. Rogers did not come up to the
standard-he could not pass muster in this
body.
Mr.. Rogers replied that his opposition to
the Howard or Constitutional Amendment
could not be denied, but he had said that he
opposed that amendment because it was not
tinality. Had it been a finality laid down
by Congress. he should have supported it
Mr.. Rogers said he would submit to the ac
ton of the Convention.
Hon. D. r. Goodloe said that he did not
think this was time to repe any one, who
desired to come forward and aid in the work
Of reconstruction. Let us all comply with
the terms of Congress in good faith, without
increasing cnmity or cherishing a proscript-
i've feeling.
Mr. Grissom, Of Granville, defended Mr.
Rogers. That gentleman, said he, stood
firm IN the dark hours of the rebellion, and
the memory Of his good service then should
not now be forgotten.
Mr.. Taylor said that if Mr. Rogers would
give his assent publicly to to the platform
and resolutions of this Convention to be laid
down, and avow himself member of the
great Republican party, he would withdraw
his objections.
Mr.. Rogers comply ing, the objections were
withdrawn, when
On motion of Mr.. Grissom a committee on
credentials was raised, consisting of Messrs.
Grissom, Cowles, Henderson, and Jenkins,
CwhItpc1. and MoSCrS Horric GDpGn aD1
Smith, [colored. The committee retired,
when
Mr.. Dick, of Guilford, moved that COM
mittee ofeight-tour of each racc-be APP
pointed to designate officers for the perma-
ncnt organization of the Convention.
Mr.. Watts, of Martin, said that the COM
mittee on credentials should report before
permanent organization was effected, or steps
taken i'll that direction. He did not know
whether objection would be made to his
presence or not, or to any one else but he
could say for himself that he ,cas true 10y
alist, one that had come up out OF much
tribulation. But he desired this committee
to report SO that all might pass muster. If
any one doubted him, he could refer to gen.
tlemen on this floor, who would vouch for
him, that he stood by the flag of his coun-
try and defended it against domestic traitors

present hour.
Mr.. Settle thought that Mr. Watts had mis-
apprehended the intention of the committee.
1t was not to raise further objection to any
one, but to consider the question involved in
the case of Dir. Rogers.
Mr.. Dick regretted that such an issue was
before the Convention. He was here with
out credentials from any meeting of his fell
low-citizens, but he was Union man, and
he presumed that was enough. (Applause)
He came here as such to aid in the work of
restoration, and also to be present partlci-
pant in this Convention when it should SOL
emily resolve to fling to the breeze the lustrous
banner of the Republican party, resolved to
conquer or die beneath its folds! (Grcat ap-
plause) What inquisitorial committee should
now be called upon to sit upon the fitness of
delegates, come hither for that patriotic pur-
pose2 Let us all here pledge ourselves to
stand by the Union of the States and its
great defender, the Republican party of the
Nation, and that was enough-(applause) -
such credentials could pass muster in this
meeting VIGOROUSLY. (Applause)
DR.. ]. T. Leach, of Johnston, concurred
with Mr.. Dick. He desired to act from the
present. on the basis of UNION, LIBERTY,
EQUALITY, CHEERS which motto was written
above the speakers stand and we might add
to that, he said, that other memorable senti-
ment " the Union the constitution and tho
