DEMANDING TO BE HEARD.

o Constitution in forming which they nave
had no part or LOT, has provoked an
opposition, in some Of the seeded States
at least, before which the architects of
Secession will not be able to stand There are
Indications already that the people will resent
the fraud that is attempted 10 be pfacticed upon
them. The plan Of Davis & Co. is to submit
the new Constitution Of their Confcderacy 10 the
Conventions Of the States only, and not to the
people. These Conventions were chosen months
| ago at moment Of excitement under strong
! impulse that does not now exist, and are COM
posed largely Of politicians worn out under the
| cd order of things in the Union, and to whom
any change is source of hope. What the Con-
yeniions will do, the people might not, and very
| likely would not do. This is very well under
stood by Davis & Co., and il Is for this reason
that they have taken good care that the Conven-
tons shall have full control Of the question, aud
that the people ahall be permitted to say nothing
| about it.
| Considering the surveillance prevalent through
| out the new Confederacy over the utteraaceS Of
| the press as well as individuals, il is really
! matter of no little surprise, that the discomfort
become so sharply defined. In order to show
cur readers that the terrorism existing there IS
! system quite az memorable and exactingr we an
| dertake to say, as any that prevails under any
| Of the despotl ms Of tho old world, and at tie
| samc,mc vastly more liable to degenerate into
downright barbarian, We reproduce briefly from
! the Southern press expressions, cut almost at
| random from such journals as happen ut the
! moment 70 be at hand.
