Memorial to the President of the United States from the North Carolina General Assembly, with a request that civil law be restored, as the state followed the specifications required in the reorganization plan. The memorial indicates that at a convention in October the ordinance of secession was repealed and the institution of slavery was abolished forever.

"The Memorial of the General Assembly of the State of North-Carolina respectfully shows that this Assembly was appointed, elected and convened in strict accordance with your Excellency's plan for reorganizing the States lately at war with the United States. The people of North-Carolina embraced with zeal and with a loyal spirit, your Excellency's plan for the restoration of the State to the rights of a member of the Federal Union, and since the surrender of General Johnson, they have been universally actuated by a fixed and honest desire to be faithful citizens of the United States. ... Tendering to your Excellency the heart-felt thanks of the whole State for your just and magnanimous policy in the past, your memorialists would commend the above considerations and requests to your early and earnest regard, and respectfully ask that they be laid before the Honorable, the Congress of the United States, now in session."--Opening and closing text.
