The resolution of Mr. Bradley, of Watau-
ga. to raise committee ia wait on his Ex-
cellency the Governor of the State of North
Carolina, was taken up and put upon its
passage.
Mr.. Tourgee moved to amend by striking
out his Excelleney, &C., and insert the words
"Governor WeFth."
Mr.. Abbott said that he thought the
wording of the resolution immaterial, and it
was better to employ the usual parlance, as
it stood in the original. True Gov. Worth
was not a Governor ia the sense that the
Governor of Pennsylvania was. But he did
not see that to address him as his Excel
lency, &c, would bind this Convention to
any theory that there was or was not State,
or there was Governor. When the
officers of the Union army met a Confederate
officer, during the war, they accosted him by
his tite-not ceneecing that the title prop
erly belonged to Confederate. In this
sense, if the Convention made use of the
usual parlance, neither would it bind it.
Besides the United States government had
adopted this method and with due Difference
to the opinion Of others, he thought it had
made no difference at all in the relations of the
Provisional officers of these States with the
| general government
Dir. Jones, of Washington, said he did not;
see that any concession would be made by
| the original language of the resolution.
| Whether they called the Governor, Provls--
ional or de tact0 made no difference at all
The authorities had recognized his title and
how could the Convention doubt it2 He
would vote against the amendment.
Mr.. Tourgee said the resolution meant to.
commit the Convention, if passed as offered
to recognition of Governor of State,
and notwithstanding his desire to observe
due courtesy, be could rot therefore support
it He only recognized Gov. Worth as Pro-.
visional Governor and no more.
The amendment was put and lost, and the.
! original resolution adopted.
The resolution of Mr.. Peterson to obtain
| from the Provisional Secretary of North Car
DINA 1870 copies of the proceedings of the last
Legislature, was taken up and read.
Mr.. Durham inquired if there was such an
officer known as the Secretary of North Car
olina2
|
Mr.. Heaton moved to amend by inserting
the words Secretary of State Agreed to and
| the resolution as amended, passed.
Mr.. Harris of Wake moved to go into cleo
| ton of Printer. Seconded, when
| Mr.. Tourgee said the Post Commander
was authorized to have all necessary print
ing done. The government would pay for
it, and the people hereafter pay only their
contingent of it in the national debt
That was the better way. $780,.
On motion of Mr.. Heatou, the matter was
referred to the committee On printing.
Mr.. Durham arose to enquire whether the.
protest signed by himself and others, had
been entered on the journals
The President said it had been done by his
