The motion to amend was lost and its
adoption having been reconsidered the reso-
luton passed over.
The resolution of Mr. Gongleton calling on
Congress for loan of three millions for ag-
ricultural, educational and other interests of
the State.
Mr.. Congleton argued at length the great
necessity of such loan. 1t would benefit
both the poor white and colored man-it
would give homes to the homeless, and in
terest those in the prosperity of the State,
who had proven themselves to be the very
best friends OF the Union. They might be
scofied at and reviled, but they were the
bone and sinew OF the land and it behooved
this Convention to take action IN their be-
half-not only because it would benefit them
individually but it would build up the
State, and give courage and wealth and
strength to the truly loyal men of the coun-
try. He paid high tribute to the colored
man for his loyalty, courage and manliness
Mr. Mcdonald, of Chatham followed, ar
guing the necessity of the adoption of the
resolution. He was friend to the colored
man. and desired to see him have an interest
in the soil of the State.
Mr. Watts moved to amend so as to leave
the amount to be borrowed uncertain, and
also to secure the best terms
He endorsed the principles of the resolu-
ton. He was friend to the poor white
and colored He was not to be inundated
by utilization or Islander, nor did he fear
the threats of Col Vance. Something must
now be done for the landless. Let this
Convention act wisely and promptly. ,
Mr.. Hood appreciated the sentiments of
the delegates, and while the resolution was
right in principle. yet 1t needed much
amendment. His friends need not fear the
colored people There was no Esau ameng
them. The right of suffrage was too dear
But he desired it to be understood that he
favored this resolution for the white man
also. If it was only for the colored people
he would oppose it.
Mr.. Harris of Wake said that the argyll
ment should be based on the broad grounds
of humanity. The statistics of the Bureau
showed how destitute white and colored
people Of the State were. He favored this
resolution. not because it was compexional
nor could it be considered so, but because it
was humane and wise.

ton passed over.
