It may be s»:.d, without fear of contra-diction from any responsible source, that in ii" State of the Union has public juhtice been so well, Bocertainly, and so economi-cally administer, das in North Carolina— Our Judiciary system has operated so sat-isfactorily to all classes of our people, that no person, tnucli less any political party, has ever assailed it. The dignity, the vir-tue and h-atiiing of our Judges have al-ople have always been averse to this; J upon the people. • Especially thev intend ey have refused to adopt tho system ! to force POOR »» IIITKS INTO EQUAL-jen the voting population was white and ITY WITH N'K'iiC-ES.

It'provides, by and through its life-principles, exact equality of the white and black races, that white children may be hound a,nd apprenticed to negroes, and the Legislature will have no power to pro-vide otherwise. 7. It provides, by and through the same principle) that white and black people may rNTEKMARRY, and the Legis'ature will I have-no power to prevent this. 8. It •jiiovide.*, by and through this same principle of exact equality of right, that negroes may go to the same Church-es with white people, and, wheu the seats are common to everybody, may sit among the white people,—go to the same public Hotels and sit at the table with the white people,—ride in the same cars, sit in the same jury box, and, in short, do and enjoy whatever is of common right, with the white man, and as the white man may.— Let it be here remembered that there are 70,000 negro voters in this State, and that it this Constitution succeeds, they can and will KULE, by the aid of bad, degra-ded white men, and that, in many counties of the State, they have absolute control of everything, as they are vastly in the ma-jority ! There, life will be intolerable to the white men. 9. This Constitution destroys absolutely, our present Judiciary system, which has worked so well, and to the satUtaction ot everybody and all parties, from the foun-dation of our government. As it no» stand-, it is settled, well understood by our people and our Judges, and, under it, the rights of all are secured. This system, rest has intellect, property or anything else to re-commend them. They can pack up what they have and leave the State in twenty-four hours. This is true, of four-fitths of them, and two or three of them, who claim personal respectability, are wholly unac-quainted with the wants and wishes Of ne-cessity of our people. Then, worse than all, every one of these adventurers was elected, not by while votes, but by negro votes ; and this explains why the doctrine of negro equality permeates and pervades the whole Constitution. The plain, but de-generate North Carolinians, who sat in that Convention, calling . themselves Re-publicnus, not one ol them? qver dreamed of such a Constitution as is .presented to the people of North Carolina. It is, in irutn, of Yankee paternity, and the stock scrub of the worst type. * North Carolinians!

The disavowel was not necessary. The writer knew thai this gentleman was not, and could not be, classed in that category, as we both under-stood it.

The State has done with-out this officer from its foundation. It, too, is for a politicalfavorite. This new system provides that each Judge shall reside in and ride his own cir-cuit— thus causing that he shall become familiarized with every case on the circuit and exposing him to temptations of brib-ery and corruption. It abolishes thi County Courts,—the PEOPLE'S COURTS,—that have operated so well for the convenience of the people; and turns most of the business of that court over to the Clerk of the Superior Court. Such a system of offices and confusion never was set up before. All the lawyers in Christendom cannot understand it; the makers of it themselves can't tell all it means and how ii is to operate ; it is " con fusion worse confounded."

LEI Tin: PEOPLE i-OXHKI: THI:.M VTKI.I. ! 1. The life-principle of this Constitution is absolute equality >i right, in all things, of all races ami colors. 2. It provides for and establishes, not only civil, but also political and social, equality of the white and negro races. a. It makes the negro eligible to hol.l any office, high or low. 4. It provides for a system of public Common Schools and for a State Universi-ty, to which all children, between the ages of six and twenty-or.e years, without dis-tinction of race or c ilor, may yo, and pro-vides that the Legislature may compel those between the ages ofsix and eighteen years to go, and the Legislature will have no power t.. provide, as a matter of right, for white and black'Schools ; the Legisla-ture cannot create '«.■ uphold distinctions ol ibis sort, uudei tais Constitution, New England are called " Townships," ' and that five Commissioners shall he elec-ted in each county, every two years, and the first five elected shall divide the coun-ty up into "Townships," of suitable size, and each Township shall be some son of a municipality, With a host of officrs, all subject to the supervision of the five Commissioners. This introduces a new systi m, which is only adapted to thickly p pu'ated States, like Rhode Island and .Massachusetts. It requires a complexity ol machinery and officers, and an amount of expense, wholly unadapted to the wants, tastes and education of our people. 13 It creates and provides for an indefi-nite number of new, expensive and unnec-essary offi es. These are a few of them : Two more Supreme Court Judges; four more Superior Court Judges; a Lieuten-ant Governor ; an Attorney General; four more Slate Solicitors ; five County Com-missioners for each county ; a Superinten-dant of Public Works, anil a number, be-sides, for the several counties. These will cost, annually, an immense sum, besides increasing the complexity of our Govern-ment system. 74. This Constitution requires the Leg-islature to raise, by taxation, next year, a sum of money, which it is practically impossible for the people, in their present impoverished condition, to pa\. The sum of money to pay the interest on the public debt, and for other purposes, which this Constitution requires to be collected from the people of the State at large, next year, is one million eight hundred and thirty-six thousand dollars, and this does not include county and city taxes, nor does this include any of the taxes that must b" paid to the Federal Government. If this Constitution is adopted, the taxes that the people of this State must pay, for State, county, city and United States purposes, will he every dollar of three millions. It will be more, indeed, than this sun,. The estimates for the State taxes are taken from und ■niabh-data, at the offiee of the State Treasurer. Can the people pay this sum, now . Don't any sensible man know they cannot, with-out the ruin of four fifths of those who have to pay taxes . This is a matter of the greatest pecuniary concern. 15. This Constitution is not a North Carolina production. It is not the handi-work of North Carolinians.

the Legislature will have no power to pro-vide

8. It •jiiovide.*, by and through this
same principle of exact equality of right,
that negroes may go to the same Church-es
with white people, and, wheu the seats
are common to everybody, may sit among
the white people,—go to the same public
Hotels and sit at the table with the white
people,—ride in the same cars, sit in the
same jury box, and, in short, do and enjoy
whatever is of common right, with the
white man, and as the white man may.—
Let it be here remembered that there are
70,000 negro voters in this State, and that
it this Constitution succeeds, they can
and will KULE, by the aid of bad, degra-ded
white men, and that, in many counties
of the State, they have absolute control of
everything, as they are vastly in the ma-jority
! There, life will be intolerable to
the white men.
9. This Constitution destroys absolutely,
our present Judiciary system, which has
worked so well, and to the satUtaction ot
everybody and all parties, from the foun-dation
of our government. As it no»
stand-, it is settled, well understood by
our people and our Judges, and, under it,
the rights of all are secured. This system,
rest
has
intellect, property or anything else to re-commend
them. They can pack up what
they have and leave the State in twenty-four
hours. This is true, of four-fitths of
them, and two or three of them, who claim
personal respectability, are wholly unac-quainted
with the wants and wishes Of ne-cessity
of our people. Then, worse than
all, every one of these adventurers was
elected, not by while votes, but by negro
votes ; and this explains why the doctrine
of negro equality permeates and pervades
the whole Constitution. The plain, but de-generate
North Carolinians, who sat in
that Convention, calling . themselves Re-publicnus,
not one ol them? qver dreamed
of such a Constitution as is .presented to
the people of North Carolina. It is, in
irutn, of Yankee paternity, and the stock
scrub of the worst type. *
North Carolinians! Consider these
truths, and the consequences to grow out
of the adoption of this Constitution, and
