North CARoLINA.-The authorized version
Of the speech delivered in North Carolina by
the e. S. Attorney General, to which State he
has lately gone in the interest of the Radical
leaders, satisfies us that should q majority OF
the people of North Carolina vote for call for
4 Convention to revise and amend their State
Constitution, and the Radical leaders contest
the call, the Administration and its party ma
ority in Congress will take sides with, and
support the Radical party, and prevent, by
force, if necessary, any such Convention.
The shameful interference in the present state
Of the case-is sufficient indication, and the
warning" of the Attorney General nails the
matter Certainly we are no advocates for any
proceedings in North Carolina, or elsewhere,
against, or not we'll founded in, law. If the
present movement for State Convention, is
contrary to the provision of the present State
Constitution on that subject, let it be ascer-
tanned peaceably-without members of the
Cabinet being sent there to interfere noec-or
TO give warnings to throw the weight
and influence of the general government, at
tbs time, in State affair."
