GENTLEMEN: | thank you very sincerely Tor
the regularity and order with which the business
has been transacted. To this we must attribute,
principally, the success of the Convention
think that the result OF this Convention Will be
beneficial to North Carolina.
If il may seem to some that We have been rash,
or ignored some things that ought to be attended
to- | think that on the whole, we have done what
was for the best. I entertain the hope that the
Republican party of North Carolina wi l not only
be triumphant but more than triumphant, and il
there happens to be now any persons dissatisfied
Hope thi dissatisfaction will wear away as the
omens OF Liberty approach. Now, Gentlemen,
Twill bud you all good by, and hope to hear of
you at the polls on election day. q RsFf,s

thusasic cheering, and the delegates quietly dis

"IF CONGRESS EVER CoNvENEs.n Some
days ago the confidential organ of the Pres
ident in this city published communica-
ton from one of its readers and disciples, in
which occurred the suggestive clause which
we have used as a caption. The Missouri
Democrat aludes to this threatening insinua-
ton as follows: -. is9s = sss.H ?
"If Congress ever convenes " 1t will
convene, though the streets of Washington
should run with blood. We trust it will not
waste three days in performing duty too
long delayed We trust that this long strug-
gle may yet be ended peacefully, justly, and
in accordance with law, by the removal of
the only obstacle to a speedy and safe recon
struction. But it can no longer be denied
that there is danger. Mr.. johnson has pow
er to do mischief HIS acts indicate that he
means to do mischief His position is des-
perate. And if reconstruction should be
defeated, so that new legislation and longer
delay should be necessary; if new turmoil
and strife should arise, with peni to the
country; the responsibility will rest upon
those who permitted this dangerous man to
remain in the Presidential chair.
