A letter from a gentleman in North Carolina, dated Oct. 12, says : --" The citizens of this State, notwithstanding the exertions of many persons of distinction among us, still seem disposed to reject the new constitution, as it now stands-in many however, have been brought over, and we have some hopes that the ensuing assembly will recommend another convention, to re-consider the subject."

His Excellency Samuel Johnston in his answer to the address of the inhabitants of Tarborough, North-Carolina, observes --" I am well assured that the citizens of this state, were at no time averse to a federal government, but the proposed system, appearing to many, not so perfect as they could wish, and believing that amendments might more certainly be obtained by postponing the ratification, till after the proposed amendments were considered by a general convention, they adopted the measures which you so highly disapprove; these measures were opposed by the minority, who offered reasons in support of their opinion, which I flatter myself, on a cool and deliberate investigation, will have the weight and influence, which it is to be lamented they had not at an earlier period."
