CONSTITUTIONAL AMESpNEyT.
There Is m effort about to be made to take
pointed hy the friends Of this movement, to
test the strength Of the measure In cash
HouEe. and to report preparatory to making
the effort. Another incentive to pass this
measure, is the fact that ths enlistment fe-
yer has agatn broken out among the colorcd
lure to take favorable action on the subject,
and at the rate enlistment is now going on,
the whole State will be stripped Of la labor
irE c1aeses, and the consequence will be very
serious TO the farmers and others. The crops
ale very muck behind hand now, and, II tho
negroes al leave, there will not be more than
half crop Of nny Kind ra!ssd. This has
alarmed some Of those who turned deaf ear
to the warnings Of the National Union men.
'costERvATIyE'' MEETING.
The Conservatives (Copperhead) held an
other meeting here the otoer nigut, and all
the great men of tho party were present from
all parts OF the State. They came np with
determination to be as fierce ~ tigers, but
WHEN It leaked out that. Gen. Palmer had
made d speech in the U1hbn N .etfng on Tues.
day night. and had taken strong grounds !
with the Union men, they grew as quiet as
sucking doves. They met aud Ae5olrod to he
oppofcd 10 everything that the Union men
wire IN favor Of, and especially the Constitu-
tiopal amendment, but we opIne that there
will be an active "getting down stasrs'' be-
fore many months roll over their devoted
heads. We sbalI see. however, before long.
