The Negro Murderera

We have received circular from Tho
american Freedman's Aid Commission"
requesting US to publish it, but we imagine
that we may as well give its purport as to
weary our readers with long story. The
substance of then is, that the agents Of the
Freedmen's Bureau declare that 'sthity
thousand negroes ,oin perish this aeinter i"
Georgia alone, and forty thousand more
in Alabama and that mot less than ons
million Of dollars are needed for ;mmedi-
ate s'slisf." The churches are appealed to
to come forward and raise this modest sum
|of money. AS these negroes were all right
before the Abolitionists interfered with
them, we do not see what excuse they can
give for this wholesale slaughter Of these
Innocent people. Doubtless, after having
gotten them into trouble, II IS their duty to
take care Of them, and their effort to do this
lis the only feature Of the case which saves
it from downright villainy ofthe worst spc,
cies. As robbing negroes good masters
end turning them out to die on the high
way, Is not our way Of showing our philan.
throphy for them, we desire to be counted
{ ont Of those who are expected to contribute
to their support We know how to find
them victuals and clothes by ten times
shorter cut than going around the country

Constitution Of 1864 IS the creature OF
fraud, violence and corruption, and, there
fore, null and void. The present Legisla-
ture, elected by the people of the whole
State is the only legal body in the State,
and is therefore competent to cali q Con-
yention for the purpose Of adopting q Con-
|stitution. They cannot amend the Constr
tution themselves, because they are acting
under no valid law which could give validi-
ty to the work of their hands. II they
say that they are operating under the Con-
stitution of 1862, then it would take two
years to amend it. If, under the Constitu-
ton of 1864, which provides for summa-
~ amendment, then the creature OF Their
! hands would be infected with the same
| fraud and corruption which characterize
the law under which they act, and be amen
able to the same charge Of nullity. For, i
| the Constitution Of 1864 is null and
void, then everything done under it is also
void and of no binding force.
| The Gordian knot can be cut only by
Convention. A convention is revolu
tionary tribunal, and if it represents tht
will Of the people Of the whole State, it il
perfectly competent to form the laws undel
which they shall live, even though tn
body which called it should itselfhaye beef
limegularly elected. The only way by whicl
the present Legislature can maintain itsel
lin the respect and good opinion of the PEG
pie, is to put it in their power to get !
