"Not 1865 it I I on on no to N. is for and will Oo the 10th instant I had an interview with HU Excellency the President, the purpose of presenting to him such of the proceedings of rtnr Si.U IVnuntinn mm tha lit root. ed me to present to him. I addressed bim as follows: Mb. President: In bebalf-of the Conven7 tion of North Carolina, lately in session, over which I bad the honor to preside, I present for your lavoraoie consiaeration cenaiaoi us proceedings.

"In the late war there were two issues: First, the existence of the Union, and second, the existence of slavery. The result was favorable to the Uoido; and adverse to slavery. North Carolina submits not in degradation, but in the moral grandeur of resignation to rightful authority. The first thing done by the Convention was to declare her uninterrupted connection-with the Union; and' that the 'ordinance of Slay, 1SG1, -by. which she was attempted to be severed, was null and void.

This was done by a vote very nearly approaching unanimity- and thus the first issue was yielded. The next thing done was to prohibit slavery; and this was done by a unanimous vote. And a committee of able lawyers was provided to prepare wholesome laws for the consideration of the Legislature, and thus the second issue was yielded. I The excellent temper and disposition of our people iofluced the Convention to ask your Ex-cellcncyTor a universal pardon for them. This was done, not in any spirit of complaint, for we concede that the action of your nas been prudent, and was designed to be magna nimous and conciliating; but our people are so well affected to the Government and are so little sensible of any sentiment of that they feel some mortification at being kept in a condition, implying that, they are net what they so Well know themselves to be entirely reconciled to the Union.

The Convention having yielded what was in volved in the war and being of the opinion that theState was and always had been in ths Union, and that bur relations bad only been disturbed and not destroyed, respectfully asks your Ex cellency to declare on the part of the authori ties of thcHJoited as the State has done on her part, that our governmental relations have been reconciled, Not only are our people well disposed towards the United States, but'tbeir appreciation of the administration' of the Government by your hx cellency has been so marked and universal, that the Convention thought it due to their consti tuency, and eminently due to your Excellency to. vote a resolution oi thanks for the ability and impartiality with which you have discharged your auues to every portion or toe country. We have heard that notwithstanding the otaie lnigot yieia, ana; as sne- understands it, has yielded all that was involved in the war: and notwithstanding our people are submissive well disposed and anxious ior fraternal relations, her delegation to Congress would not be admit ted unless they had qualifications! not prescribed by tbe Constitution: that they would be requir ed to take an bath, which few men in the State can take, affirming not merely that they are right now, but they have never been The exclusion of ber delegation upon any such test as is suggested would'be felt by our people universally assucu a deep wrong mat it would put their strong devotion to the Government and their lively hope of perfect reconstruction to the severest trial. They can understand the bitterness of strife and tbe aversion to treason. But tbey wilt be confounded at the repulsion of offered friendship and aroused loyalty.

The Convention therefore respectfully asks Congress to repeal tbe "Test Oath." I have thought it respectful both to you and to Congress that this request of the Convention should pass brough your hands, with the hope that your Excellency's magnanimity would add to it some reflection which would avail with that body. Toe Convention instructed the Legislature to provide fur tbe payment of the debts' of the State, aod declared all debts contracted in aid of the rebellion to be illegal and prohibited the payment of the same. To what has been done by tbe jConventiOn 1 can add nothing of my own except to assure your Excellency that my own sentiments are in accordance with the beat deeds of the with tbe best sentiments bf oar people. I have the honor to lay before your Excellency a copy of our Constitution, with the. amendment, and the ordinances of the Convention.

The President replied as follows: Hon. Mb. Reade: I received from you with pleasure, a copy of the proceedings of the Convention of North Carolina. reciprocate cordially the conciliatory spirit in which you have addressed me. The Convention of North' Carolina has done much and welt toward' restoring! the State to ber proper natural relations, but something yet remains to be done to render ber restoration immediately practicable.

An acceptiou of the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, throughout tbe United States by1 the Legislature of North Carolina, is in my judgment practically important to the successful restoration which is so much desired by all. Without answering specifically le questions you have proposed to ine, it will be sufficient to say that my action must depend upon events, and that Mr Holden will be again jinstructed to continue the exercise-of his functions as-Provisional Governor until he shall have been expressly relieved by orders to that effect."
