South I'nrolinn prompteil by llio
Hjiirit of liberty (should cry out
'touch not handle not tho unclean
tiling!" They must know that it
will boimpossiblo to maintain n just
wiscand iieriiiiinutit ronublican form
of government whoro a majority of
tno voters aro ignorani bhijiki
donii -savage junipers. They ought
to sue too that tho peace and quiet
of tho .State cannot bo preserved
where there nro two antagonistic
ruccN clothed with equal political
powers nnd the inferior vnco eupe-
rior to it in numbers. They .must
come in collision in their contests
fur power. .In two thirds of tho dis-
tricts of South Carolina tho negroes
have the majority of voters. They
may and will elect their sheriffs
clerks ordinaries and tax collectors.
They will send their own members
to the Legislature and elect their
own (iuveriior and members of Con-
gress. If we lived in monarchy or wore
to be continued under military rulo
then both races might bo properly
governed and mado to do justic'o to-
wards each other. In a Ilcpublio
tho people aro tho sovereigns and
they must bo wiso and virtuous or
their Government will practico tho
most revolting tyranny and oppres-
sion. Look at ilexico where they
have had a Republic founded on a
stupid ignorant mongrel popula-
tion. Thcro Government has been
nothing but n succession of bloody
revolutions nnd cruel military usur-
pations. Without tho highest virtue
and groat intelliffcnco on tho pnrt of
the masses of population it is im-'
possible for a iteputjiic to stand.
England attempted ono in io-iu nui
it was a melancholy failuro owing
to tho iitnoranco und viciousncss of
tho masses. Franco has tried tho
experiment twico and after wading
through rivers of blood had to seek
repose in despotism. In both' Eng-
land and Franco nt tho timo thoso
ollbrts wero mado thoro wero thous-
ands distinguished for their virtues
and talents; but tho great masses
wore ignorant and unimformed nnd
wero swayod by thoir passion's nnd
vices. But how infinitely superior
wero thoso masses to tho froedmon
of South Carolina. ' " ' "
"We havo a foretaste of negro leg-
islation assisted by radical cunning
in tho platform adopted nt their
Charleston convention. Beforo they
had been allowed to cast a voto or
exorciso tho first political privilege
they boldly prooliiimod that proper-
ty aono ami not persons is to bo
taxed. Ilemcmber this avowal is
publicly mado by thoso who havo
no property to bo taxed. In other
words tho nogrocs uro to pay no
taxes toward tho supportrof the Gov-
ernment ; but all taxes nro to bo
paid by tho whito rnco ! Next they
declare that their children must bo
educated nt our expenso nnd their
nged nnd infirm parents must be
supported by us I Wo must sup-
port too their idle nnd vicious who
become paupers I The hearty hnk
negro man who makes hi hundred
or two hundred dollars per" annum
nnd r-pehds it foolishly must not bo
taxed ono cent to educate his own
children or to support his own fath-
er nnd mother I They doclnre also
that tho lands must bo divided into
small tracts and that it is not good
policy for one man to own a large
landed estate. In other words ev-
ery negro must havo a homo. The
ways and means of getting that
home will be explained hereafter in
the convention or Legislature.
It would really seem from this
programing that tho black race arc
to he a sort of aristocracy in South
Carol i ni. They arc by their supe-
rior numbers to havo tho reins of
government in their own handsand
elect all the State nnd District offi-
cer to make all laws and to be ex;
cmpted from taxation like tho fen-
al nohUe of France prior to thoir
revolution in 17W. The white man
must gnltivnto his lunds pay the
taxes of the (xOTcrnment and obey
the laws mado by the freed men!
This is whit the friends of conven-
tion are innocently preparing f"t-thenii-elvcs
and posterity I What

ease long. In nil probability tho
whito vote of tho State will bo larg-
er at the ensiling election than tho
black vote. Il will not bo so in an-
other election
In tho lust Stale Con volition which
nssoiubleo in Columbia in I SOS
there were gathered together nil the
illustrious men of tho Stato. It was
a body of men nnsuriinssod for their
wisdom virtue nnd talenU. Not
one of t hem can bo a member of the
proposed convention. Thoy nro nil
exeludod by tho militarv bill nnd
deprived oven of voting for members
of tho convention tho proposed
nsseinblnge will bo composed of no-
grocs Northern men traitors to tho
Stato nnd u few gallant and honor-
able your.g men who may possibly
consent to becoinecandidatcsjind bd
elected in somo of tho upper Dis-
tricts. It will bo ft motley hetero-
geneous collection of whito grey
and black spirits around the political
cauldron into which is to bo thrown
the honor constitutional rights re-
publican principles and departing
glniy of South Carolina.
To tho few young men in that con-
vention there will bo something in-
effably menu in knowing that they
have 'obtained their seat thero by
disfranchising aijddishonoringthoso
whom they havo loved and honored
through life. But this disgraceful
sacraiico does not stop with tho con-
vention. It must bo continued in
tho government of tho State and in
filling nil the offlces'in' tho". State;
Every'.! udi5;e on the Bench' from the
venerable Chief Justice down 'to tho
youngest member of the-Judiciary;
must throw aside his gown nnd will
no longer bo permitted to adminis-
ter justice in South Carolina. All
who havo served in tho Legislature
or filled tho office of Justice of tho
I'enco tire excluded froiii any partic-
ipation in the administration of the
government. 'In tho place of thoso
Judges Governors Legislators and
distinguished men who nro disfran-
chised nnd declared unworthy of
balding oflice. the negroes arc sub-
stituted ! ' '
It is not surprising that the Uadi-
cal members of Congress should
wish tO exclude from the councils
of tho nation all . representatives
who nro worthy of being regarded
ns Southern' men. ' They havo so
long indulged in vulgar nnd malig-
nant obuso of tho South that thoy
would naturally feel unpleasant in
having n truo Southern man listen-
ing to their billingsgate It is very
likely too that Mr. Sumner and
others might not from old associa-
tions nnrtVomcmbrnncoH fcol exact-
ly safe in uttering their calumnies.
But that any honorable nnd spirited
Southern man should consent to
voto for such exclusion1 is to mo
most passing strange.
South Carolina and tho. whole
South with ono voice rejected in-
dignantly last full tho Constitution-
al Amendment which only excludes
from office tho leading men of "tho
Southern States and roduccd our
representation in Congress. . It did
not difranchise any ono or establish
negro sulfrago. But now both these
dishonoring nnd fatally ruinous
principles aro established by tho
military bill nnd the pooplo- arc
ready to adopt them! What' has
produced this seeming craven nnd
cowering spirit? . ' 1 '
It is urged that unless wo voto
for ft convention establish negro
suffrage and disfranchise our prom-
inent men confiscation will be
adopted by Congress. . A friend
said tho other day that this ought
not to scaro .us . for wo were all
broke and ruined pecuniarily and
had nothing left to -confiscate lie
thought it was too luto in tho day
to dishonor ourselves in order to
save the remnant .of our property.
I think . if anyono will read the
spooch of Horace Greeley in Ilich-
mond on confiscation he will soo
as I havo. alwuj'S. . contended that
thcro is no danger on this subject
from. Congress vJIr Greeley sayi
that Thuddyus Stevens js.tuo pnly
promiuent moiubcr of Congress whp.
has 'ever suggested . such a scheme
arid that lie has never with all his
ability and influence been ; nblo to
persuade others to adopt it. He
then goes on to show that such a
policy would not benefit the frecd-
mcn' whilst it would entail ruin nnd
starvation on tho Southern States.
Butre aro told that if we do not
adopt the military hill and rote fr
a convention 'something worse will
be imposed on the Southern States.
In my opinion nothing worse
than negro suffrage and negro gov-
ernment enfl be forced upon ns. It
would 1e a thousand times prcfera-
blo to remain under military rule
and submit to till the exnet'ot s of
miilitory nntWity. The '.fJVer
of tho army aro generally borota-
1)S men. men of our own race and

I w ill conciudo this article with
nn extract from a letter received
the other day from a noble huly of
South Carolina whom I novcr hnd
tho pleasure of seeing or correspon-
dence with before. It was the
spontaneous effusion of a spirited
and patriotio heart. She says :
"1 believe I speak tho feelings of

olina when 1 say wo heartily in-
dorse your views nnd each nnd

efforts to save us from such dishon-
or and such degradation to w hich

aid you in recalling the manhood of
our Stato to a sense of what is duo

" This is tho cntiro letter with the
exception of tho address and the
name of tho writer.' Hitch' patriot -tic
nnd spirited senlimons from ono
lovely woman fully coinpensntos for

have been heaped on mo. ' " .
I now repeat what I have snid in
my former articles. Let every ono
not disfranchised go nnd register
his name. This he must do if ho
has nny regard for tho preservation
of his life" liberty and property.
; Then let him go to tho election
without fail and vote for good men
endorsing on it "Against Conven-
tion." 'Thoso nro: the words of tho
military bill and must be used in

I.atot from Mexico.
Yesterday's until brought ns the
.'ii.Vi.e oi'tbo 1'lh fVoii which wo
limko tho follow in-' e.liin Is :
Sunday's mail lioiu the intciinr
of I'aiidemouiuin brought ns our
Usual coiTcspoiidciico and much in-
teresting and startling news.
The execution of O'ltorun com-
manding tho city of Mexico by
Marque. Is continued. Ilo was de-
tected iu corresponding nnd negoti-
ating with tho enemy with a view
to giving up the Capital and was
taken out and immediately shot.
MnriUo. has arrested in the city
of Mexico one hundred and sixty
Liberal synipatbi.ers and has sent
word to Juater. that if Maximilian
or his generals should bo executed
ho would shoot the ono hundred and
sixty Liberals'. In addition to this
it is stated that Marqiioz has
threatened to lay tho Capital iuushos
if tho tjuoroturo prisoners aro not
treated ns prisoners of war.
Tho otlicial Liberal papers nro
very clamorous from ono end of
Mexico to the other for tho lives of
Maximilian and hU generals; and
no doubt is made anywhere that
thoy would be shot one and all.
Upon putting Gen. Mejia on bis
trial lie was told to select whom ho
pleased to defend him. Thereupon
no chose Gen. Mariano Eseobedo
whom ho Mejia bad aided to escape
when Kscobe'do was a prisoner of
war in' Imperial hands. Fscobedo
replied that ho would see him
"damned first."
. Thero is little doubt that the Cap-
ital fell into Liberal hands some
days since; 'and there is not a shad-
ow of doubt that Maximilian and
his generals hae been executed.
A letter from SalliNo of Juno 4
says Maximilian was ordered to bo
shot day before yesterday. Also
that to court martial which tried
tho prisoners coin prised ofsiibaltern
officers never before heard of unani-
mously agreed to tho shooting of
Maximilian and fellow prisoners.
The samoletter says Gen. Trcvino
with bis corps is en route for this
placo and -Monterey. Ho nnd Esco-
bedo were several times saved from
death by Mejiu who furnished them
mono' and horses at ono time to
make their escape. They now do-
mand Mejia's life in tho nnmo of
Got) and Liberty.

"Heretofore sho threatened us
now she implores us.
"Bcforo she looked upon us with
contempt now sho is on her knees
before us.
Tho beads of Maximilian and his
Generals aro imperiously demanded
by the Mexican nation."
: Tho treachery of Miguel Lope in
selling Maximilian and his band of
heroes is fully confirmed.
We yesterday conversed with a
gentleman who was in tueruturo at
the surrender nnd ho says the Im-
perialists had. .organized plans to
break through tho Liberal lines tho
morning .after the garrison was sold
by Lopez. '
A correspondent o'ftbo New York
Herald Mr. Clark who was with
Maximilian all through his catnpain
arrived hero from San Luis day bo-
fore yesterday. lie is cn routo
Xorlb with a budget of dispatches.
' Maximilian and his generals wero
in confinement at Quoretaro under-
going trial when Mr. Clark left San
Luis. Ho savs.'among other things
that Maximilian had lived on mule
hic.it for thirty days prior to tho
bargain and sale. At (incretaro ho
saya 'hey think nnd euro less about
executing Maximilian than nt other
places this sido. At every other
place the people arc crazy to havo
Maximilian shot.

About eighteen months ago the

Whenever nny body wastes more
money than ho can spare on a wed-
ding and. in the language of tho
world cuts a swell he is said to have
celebrated a diamond wedding. A
day or two since the telegraph
brought us news that a pair of
goslings bad been cutting such a
swell in Canada. This wedding
tho information of which was so
widely diseinanuted had tho rc-
mnrkablo fen t tiro of having uu edi-
tor for n malo gosling. One would
have thought that his experience
would have prevented him from tho
perpetration of that modern fully a
splendid wedding. Had he paused
to reflect ho would have remembered
that of tho many such to which his
journalistic attention lunl been di-
rected not ono in ten bad proved
happy.
Georgo Francis Train in a recent
speech in New York said: "Our
modern marriage scrvico should
read thus: Clergyman Will you
take this brown blono front this
carriage and spun nnd these dia-
monds for thy wcdiled husband?
Yes. Laughter. Will you take
this unpnid milliner's bill this high
waterfall of foreign hair these af-
fections accomplishments and f'ee-
blo constitution fur thy wedded
wife? Loud laughter. Yes.
Then what mammon has joined to-
gether let tho next best man run
away with so that the first divorce
court may tear them asunder."
This dreadful burlesque on dia-
mond weddings is particularly cut-
ting because it is so very true.
Tho records of our divorce courts
show that the happiness of mar ringo
is in the inverse ratio to the splendor
of the ceremonial. This ns a mel-
ancholy truth but it is none the
less a truth that strikes tho obser-
vation of every observer.
