another BLACK 1RepubIican Canard.

1t is well known that by some means or other the
Black Republicans at Washington are enabled to
circulate, through the Associated Press dis
patches, the most unwarrantable reports p-eiudi-
cal to the cause of the South. This morning we
learn by telegraph that Ex-Governor AIKEN, of c.,
has been forced TO contribute $4,000 to that Gov
eminent, under penalty of confiscaton in case of
refusal" We venture the assertion that there is
not shadow Of foundation for the report, and we
predict that those who are most active in giving
rency the rumor correct it after it has been
authoratvely branded as false. The Legislature of
South Carolina is in session. and has the power levy
taxes upon the persons and property of all lis aai-
zeas alike just as the State of Tennessee but neither
has the power to confiscate the property of its cti
zcns even after refusal to pay their taxes. There
is the same State Government and laws existing in
South Carolina, that existed there previous to the
dissolution of the Union.
We believe the dispatch in relation to the refusal
of the North Alabama delegates to sign the Ord-
nance of Secession is also without foundation. We
have published the remarks of several Of the North
Alabama delegates on the passage of the ordnance
who though opposed to secession readily yielded to
the voice of the majority. Wehave before US let
ter from Messrs. Nick. DAVIS and JERE CLEMENS, the
leading delegates from North Alabama, written af-
ter the passage of the ordinance in which they say
and italicize the language: "EUay member from
North Alabama stands pledged TO abide the action Of
the Convestion, and although there were 80 votes
given against the ordinance there is, perhaps, not
one arho ,5M not submit TO It. and counsel Submission
by his people.
We warn cur readers against all sorts of false re-
ports noyg being industrousy circulated to induce
the people of the Northern slavehOlding States to
turn their faces against their brothers of the South
and still hang on to Black Republican government
bent on our destruchon.s But few.weeks ago two
wealthy and patriotic citizens of Charleston came
forward ard voluntarily contributed, one $4,000,
and the other $780, to the State. The Black Repub-
Icans Immediately telegraphcd throughout the coun-
try that these acts of patriO tism were "forced
loans"
= Beware of Balck Republican rumors. The peo-
ple of the South have heretofore beeen struggling
with each other upon questions of administrative
policy, now they have TO meet Black Republicanism
face 10 face.

Hon. SoIon Borland,s Address.

The Hall Of the House of Representatives was
crowded on Thursday evening TO listen to the ad-
dress of Hon. Scion cortland. We can not under
take 20 give even synopsis Of it. 1t was, however
perspicuOus, fOrcible, states manke and Southern.
If the manner of Major Borlsnd is not that Of an
orator his matter certainly that of a statesman
He argued that the Constitution of the United States
is compact between the States and does not estab-
l;sb consolidated Government and that the whole
trouble with regard to slavery with the Northern
States has arisen from the opposite view. he sated
that he had taken the position in the late
Presidential campaign, through his Journal that
che election of Lincoln would be the cause
of the dissolution of the Union, and that the name
Unconstitutional Union Party had been adopted in
complance with that idea, in contradistinction to
70 the tendencies of the Black Republican party.
Otherwise be said the name was mere clap-trap,
and those who wore it were demagogues. He said
that he had been under the impression that the
great leader of that party, Mr.. Bell, Of whom he
was warm supporter in the late canvass, so un
derstood il and he had never had reason to change
that conviction. Mr.. BELL, who was present here
interposed and friendly colloquy ensued, in which
Mr. BELL stated that he did not remember ever Il
have encouraged the idea that the election Q
LINCOLN would be a good cause foa dissolu
tion of the Union. but that he had said t'
some Of his friends confdentially that II Mr. LIN
cofN were elected. he would be the last Iresl
dent of the United States. Maj. BoRLAND sad tina
his friend had stated the idea much more forclol.
tan he had. and subsequently read an extract iron
the speech Of Mr.. BELL in the Senate of the Unlte
states in 1850. which he characterized as the ables
defence of slavery he had ever seem IN which Mr.
r. had said that separation and dsunion are better
than Union held together only by power and by
constitutional and legaltes
Mai. BoRl.aND said he had come to the conclusion
that the Union was already dissolved with great re
,,r.t but the fact must be accepted, aud the only
question now ia whether we shall 60 with thos'
.ybo ars hostile to our institutions, or 60 where al

How long win the people of Tennessee close their
eyes to the dangers that surround thems Warning
voices are daily sounding in their ears. Facts,
startling facts, are daily obruding themselves upon
us, and leave no doubt that LINCOLN and SEWARD,
the former the author and the latter the promoter
of the Irrepresoble Conflict do not intend to make
any concession of their principles. We know that
there are in all of the northern slaveholding States
some politicians who have always set their sails to
catch the Northern breeze. Such never viii con-

own political salvation is of higher Importance to
them than the liberties Of the people.

sou,h Caro,,na InstItutIons.

Our attention has been directed to the following
amendment 10 the Constitution Of South Carolina,
adopted December 10, lslO:
aThat the fourth section of the Constitution of
this State be altered and amended TO read as follows:
Every free white man of the age Of twenty-one
years. paupers and non-commissioned officers and
private soldiers Of the army Of the United States
excepted, being citizen of the State, and having
resided therein two years previous to the day Of
election, and who hath freehold Of fifty acres Of
land, or town lot of which be hath been legally
seized and possessed 1t least six months before such
election not baUg such freehold or t0toa It, hath
been resident IN the election district IN 1och he offers
to gUe his cote sir months before the said election shall
have right to vote for a member or members TO
serve in either branch of the Legislature for the
election district in which he holds such property or
is so resident
The effect of this amendment TO the Constitution
of South Carolina is to give to every resident Of
election district paupers and soldiers of the army
Of the United States excepted, together with citi-
zens Of the State nonresident in the district who
have freehold of fifty acres therein or a town lot,
the right to vote for member members in either
branch of the Legislature for such district.
We learn that it has been asserted, and is freely
circulated, that the poor in South Carolina is
not entitled to vote for members to the Legislature
without being possessed Of this freehold. 1t viii
seen that nonresident freebooter can vote for
members in the same manner that nonresident
freebooter of the city Of Nashville may vote for
municipal officers. does not prevent the
resident nonffeeholder from the same privilege in
South Carolina, no more than in the city of Nash
vile.
This rumor has been circulated with the view to
to impress the public mind with the conviction that
Democratic institutions will not have favorable
chance for growth and expansion in Southern
Confederacy. We have, therefore, printed the
above amendment to the Constitution of South Car
DINA, order that the truth may be circulated,
although it is evident to all vino understand the
ture Of Confederacy, that the domestic institu-
tons of South Caroline will not affect in any way,
the domestic institutions of the other States any
more than they do now. South Carolina has re-
commended, by a solemn ordinance Of her COnven-
tion that the Constitution of the United States be
adopted by the seeding States, as the basis of
Government ad interim. Such stories are but
weak invention" gotten up to prejudice the public
mind against the movement for Southern indspen-
dsnoe of the Black Republican Confederacy of the
H3rth.

W ID ElH hisS, ESQ,
Ny Dear Sr:-Thc Ordinance of Secession passed
to-day by vote Of 81 to SO. We have known for
days that this was inevitable and the ievents
winch have transpired since we left home are of
| suCh character as to do away with many OF the
objections we had previously entertained: In point
OF TACT state OF actual war exists, and tonight
we should not be surprised 10 hear that blood has
been shed at Pensacola. Under these circumstances
the action Of our people ought above all things to
be cool deliberate, and uninfuenced V passon Let
them take no steps founded upon information derv-
ed from meagrc Geographic reports or the nreiudi
ced statements of partisan paper. Ereru member
from North AldbGmG stands pledged 10 abide he action
q the Contention, and although there were 30 votes
given against the Ordinance, there is pertains not
one 1ro loA not SubDltt0 IT, and counsel Submission by
lis people.
The nJunctons of secrecy were removed to-day.
and we suppose you will get the proceedings in to-
| mOrrOw's Confederation.
Say to all our friends that this is time which re.
quires coolness-it is the great virtue in crisis
like this. The majority is against us-we Unjust 20
with the State create civil disturbances of the
most dreadful character at home. Tell them too NOT
to be deceived asout the possibility Of peaceful So

An extract from private letter from Col CIEN
EMS to friend in Huntsville, written after the pas
sage Of the Ordinance of Dissolution, says:
You have much st stake At such a time cecil
ness is the highest virtue ! know that it will be 8
sore trial, but remember that the fate of your wife
and children may depend upon your action. Do
nothing to divide the people Of our own State Our
only hope is in their union. Tell them So and urge
them they love their families as thev love their
cppntry-as they love God and hope for heaven. to
come out at once in support of the action of the
State. There is no other hope for us-no other
chance for peace, and that is poor one.

An OyerpOwering reason against division and

We entreat we implore all not to yield to passion,

which has caused the loss of the Union to breathe

Dear figures The Convention. by Ordinance
Seeded from the Union of States this afternoon at
q o'clock, by vote of 81 to 80. Alabama now
claims to be an Independent Republic. 1t is suppos-
ed the delegates will nearly ALL if not quite ALL sign
the Ordinance of Secession. This being the action
of large majority of the delegates, we cannot
| otherwise than acquiesce in it. although we have
faithfully and consistently opposed the seperate ac
| ton of Alabama. Our will has been Overruled by
this decided majority, and now to withhold our &C,
quiescence and take position adverse to the COnVen
ton. could bat distract the public mind, and ult'
matcly result in civil discord and Gisaecton among
| the people of our beloved State. Above all things
let Us be united as one man in our future action
The consequences are upon us, God only knows the
issue. Let feel that right land trust in the
interpeSition of kind praying that all
things may work together for our good and future
