Gov. Caldwell's proclamation to the
people of North Carolina, calling upon
them to assist him in maintaining law and
order and bring to Justice the sarmed
bands of disguised men who in the night
time commit outrages of the most afro
cious character upon defeneeless citizens,

This amendment was suggested in the
Senate, the other day, cut will not be
considered until next winter, if then.
| But public sentiment all over the conntry
is now rapidly drifting in that direction,
and the time seems to be near at hand
when some such a measure will be de-
manded by the people of most of the
states-Ledder.

Monod's portraiture Of his countrymen,
the French, when he writes
Never had I been so painfully con-
scious of the incorrigible levity of oul
national character; or of the strength of
