STATE CONVENTION.

The white people Of the State of Virginia,
justly iucensed at the outTages that have been,
and are likely to be inflicted upon them by
the mongrel convention which is shortly to
assemble in Richmond, have determined upon
etecting'a thorough organization of all the
elements opposed to negro domination, and
to this end, have called convention to as
semble in Richmond on the Ilth day of De-
cember. The executive committee have is-
sued the following call =

all they can for their cause; and then,
if the voter does not want to vote on

the ticket. This is one OF their tricks.

Gen. W. r. Cox.

The Progress says Gen. Cox has been, SO
consistent and upright that the STANDARD
has been impelled to declare its confidence
in his loyalty to the government" The test
of loyalty to the government is hearty and
earnest support of the reco Instruction acts of
Congress-. If Gen. Cox comes up to this
test In the DRY, and will carry out this theory
in practice, he will thus prove himself 10y
al citizen. We are not & inepelleCz" to declare
any man loyal. When citizen shows his
loyalty by his acts it affords US pleasure COL
untarily to record the fact, and to give him
credit for it. We have yet to learn that
Gen. Cox is heartily and earnestly for the re-
construction acts.
We may as well advertise the Progress and
all others in advance, that Gen. Cox will not
be elected to the Convention from, Wake
County. We do not know that he desires
it, and we, therefore, do not address him,
but the Progress, which is using his name

Conservative or Rebe, Meet,n,

Z Conservative or Rebel Meeting.
The meetinghe in the Court House on
Saturday night-gotten together by appeals
to- Conservatives, sConsentionists, anti Con
ventionists, Unionists and anti Unionists
and to working men-was organized bv
calling Mr.. Bledsoe to the char, and an
pointing number of Vice Presidents ne
whom only three acted, one of them with
evident reluctance.
The meeting was addressed at great length
and much ability by Judge Merrimon. The
Judge said some things that We're soundIv
Republican in their character, though the
speech, taken as whole, was evidently in
the interest. of those who had invited him 70
speak. He urged all to vote for a Conven-
ton, and for good men, whether Republicans
or otherwise. for delegates. In this resnect
he differs widely from Gov. Graham and fl.
iSenta'aeI He was especially severe upon the
Democrats, and 1lauded the old Wings to
the skies, not in a manner 80 direct and
emphatic.as it was ingenious, inferential and
taking in its character. The old war Who's
once Union-understood it, and the old
Democrats felt it acutely. He WAS especial
ly severe in this respect ON the Chairman Of
the meeting. -..
A numberof persons were appointed to
the Rebel meeting to he held here on Tbnrs-
day, at least one-th1rd of whom are opposed
to the objects Of the meeting.
The Sentinel, while it compliments the
Judge for the ability of his speech, ominouslv
refrains from endorsing its views. The
Progress shows displeasure at the speech, and
says it will have "a powerful influence in
stimulating Democratic unity"

Major-General Thomas.

This distinguished officer, the Adjutant
General of the armies of the United States,
has recently visited this State on tour Of
inspection. We learn that at Goldsboro,
on last Sabbath, he set good example to
subordinates by attending in very inclement
weather the religious exercises of the camp.
He listened with marked attention to the
Chaplain of the 4eth and it was beautiful
and solemn to see the old veterans joining
with the soldiers In singing one of Charles
Wesley's sacred songs. Such officers impart
charm to the service, and do honor even to
the uniform they wear.

The National Hlteligence1.,

The National IlteNigencer, one of the or

peachers are revolutionists. We must so
treat them, and be prepared to meet them ~
The Constitution of the United States;
gives to the House of Representatives the
right, to impeach, and to the Senate the
right to try. The Congress certainly has the
right to declare that no officer shall exer-
else the functions of his office while articles
of impeachment are pending against him.
That body would be as much bound to. do
this as Court would be, bound to suspend
one of its officers who. had been presented
for crime by the grand jury. IF the Presi-
dent should be thus suspended, what could
he do2 Would he resist the t1so of the land

Gen. Candy sent to the Standard as the ma
tional ctffeiat paper, his Order for the cleo
ton in this State, apportioning delegates, &C.:
It seems that the General has since made a
correction in the Order, but we have receiv-
ed no notice of the fact, and therefore do not
feel that we are authorized to change the Of
7iiciol notice. Gov. Worth was telegraphed
to on the 22d October, that Allegheny, Ashe,
Surry, Watauga and Yadlein are entitled to-
four delegates-Anson to two delegates
Guilford to two delegates, and Tyrrell and
Washington to one delegate. We presume,
this statement made to Gov Worth is, au-
thentic, and. we publish it accordingly.
Gov. Worth sent this telegram to the two
Rebel papers in this City, but would not
send it to this office. Gov. Worth has about
as much real respect for Gen. Candy and. 9th
er federal officers, as he has shown for the
Standard. Reason-=--the Standard is loyal,
and Gov. Worth is an enemy to the recon-
struction acts and to- the Union of the States
