The Late North Carolina Election-A Re-
publican Victory.

publican Victory.
The late election in North Carolina, which,
it now appears, has gone for the republicans,
was upon the general question Of convention
or no convention for the revision of the State
constitution. The proposition of a convention
and the law providing for the election came
from the late democratic Legislature, and the
object Of the democrats was so to change the
State constitution as to wrest from the repub-
licans certain State and county Offices
executive and judicial-which could not other
wise be 80 conveniently reached. The re-
publlcans, however, denounced the whole
movement as illegal and void, inasmuch as the
present State constitution adopted as the re-
construction compact with Congress and the
people; provides that said constitution shall
not be disturbed until the expiration of ten
years from its adoption. Upon this ground
1t was understood the republicans had re-
solved to control this Convention, if called,
even to the extremity of an appeal to Presi-
dent Grant; and it was further understood
that the President in this appeal would stand
by the existing State constitution and the
authorities under it, even to the extent, If
necessary, of the employment of the army.
We presume that all these considerations
operated in the election to the advantage Of
the republicans, and in carrying the State, by
defeating the proposed Convention, they have
secured those local offices which they hold,
and which will give them good toothold in
the Presidential election of next year, touch
ing the official control of the ballot boxes, &C.
1t appears that here we have the real issue
between the two parties in this late contest,
and from the general result, as now reported,
the republicans contend that the State is
secured to General Grant and lost to the demo-
Gratis for 1872. If so this North Carolina
election may be put down as furnishing a
popular decision of considerable national i'm
portance, as favorable indication in the
South in behalf Of General Grant for another
term

TRUE AS GosPEL-The opinion of General
Ben Butler that 1t is not laws that we want in
this country, but the enforcement of the laws.
And yet In 1856 we had Presidential party in
the field on the platform of "the constitution
and the enforcement of the laws" and what
in 1856 and the Southern rebellion Of 1861.
