LATEST FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

LATEST FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Rdiable information concerning the
Efeceit election in North Carolina
has Isen furnished to the press by
Judp Settle, a leading Republican Of
that State. The constitutional con-
vent n, which viii assemble at Rail
eigh In Monday next, the 9th inst,
has Aen-called by act Of the Demo-
cratit Legislature to frames new. con-
stituton or amend the present one,
with view Of so far DISTINGUISHING
the hppblican vote by qualified saf-
frageclaases and the like, as to rem
der democratic control of the State
govehme certain and perpetual.
Tb convention will have MEM
bersHp of 100. Of this the Republic
cans have elected So, the Dempcrats
So, aid three are classed as Independ-
ents. It is assumed as certain that
one q the latter will vote with the
Republicans and one with the Demo-
Gratis, while the status of the third Is
not 81 clearly defined; but as he was
electA in opposition to Democratic
candp date, it is reasonably presumed
that le will cast his influence against
that larty. If he does this, it will
give bhe Republicans the organiza-
ton, he Importance of which is evil
dent yhen it is considered that their
progrmme is to adjourn Immediately
after, thus frustrating the dishonest
and PARTISAN objects for which the
convection was called.
AS Jefore reported, tho popular ma
iprity for the Republicans was from
| rs, OOCto 10000, and but for the out
1pgeo,s apportionment bill passed by
the Democratic Legislature, they
would have secured the decided pla-
rality IF delegates to which their vot-
ing strength clearly entities them. In
the election Of last year, the Demo
Gratis a.rried North Carolina by ma
jority Of $4,000; there has been a
change of $4,000 in the popular vote,
therefore, in favor of the Republican
party, which is an encouraging sign
and splendid record for a single
State.

The enemies of the compromise
have net with one repulse, but are
too many and active to remain silent.
To what extent they will succeed in
leavening theD Democratic masses ofthe
State we can only surmise. If held
in check the pleasures Of peace 70 q
people weary of political agita-
ton may prove insurmountable. It
is noteworthy that both the. Bulletin
and the PicaSane approve the late ac-
ton of the Democratic Committee III
refusing to call a convention which
was intended to reopen the smoth
cred struggle. 1t is creditable lead
ership. ..5,f-...
Why the divisions of the NJ. E.
Church North and NJ. E. Church South,
which originated on slavery and dis
union sentiment should continue after
the great conflict has ended, is sub
iect which has attracted much atten-
ton in and out of the churches inter-
ested. 1t is disagreeable fact to
many that any church should bear a
sectional name. Christ and Wesley
labored neither for North nor South,
but for the world, while here in Amer
lea their disciples, founding their in
situations on the same cardinal doc
trines, have separated with geograph-
ical or political boundaries, as if in
quest Of political and not spiritual
power. They have even become
harshly antagonistic - denouncing
each other-and refusing"the friendly
interchange Of pulpits, custom prev
alent among many denominations of
Christians. The Methodist Church
North is Jealous in its labors with the
colored people as with all races of the
world, advances its organ ization
among them, and accepts the black
seeking salvation with cordiality
nearly approaching that extended to
the white brother. The Church South
appears to have drawn a color line
and its labors are confined chiefly to
one race, which has from the earliest
days of its history received an undue
exaltation. 1t affords me pleasure to
chronicle melting away of the Sec
tional starch in the bosoms Of leading
divines, and to believe that u more
perfect union is a probability in Meth
odism. Some time since Rev. DR..
Palmer of the Presbyt terrain Church
stepped across a chasm-from a lead
ing white pulpit into black one-and
with his usual eloquence greatly
pleased his hearers. Southern divines
have stood in the pulpit Of Ames
Church (North) and the minister of
that Church has been received in cir
cles elsewhere. The latest intelli-
gence is that colored congregation
has extended formal invitation to q
Southern minister to occupy the pull
pis at some Sunday service, and it is
thought it will be accepted. Amen.
