The LEersLArURE.--The Legislature
will ' at the capital tomorrow
It will be the most important session ever
held in Mississippi. aud its action will be
looked to with an interest only exceeded
by that Of our late State Convention In
looking. over the list of members elect
from the several counties, we are grati6ea
to see the names Of many able and con-
s~ervative men whom we can trust in such
an hour as the present. W. hope that
q spirit of wisdom. justice and moderation
will mark the deliberations Of the Assem-
bly,.
There is one thing. however, we hope
the Legislature will o do. and that is,
to elevate the negro one iota above his
present status. We we're required to
declare, or at least concede the fact. that
slavery was abolished. W. have done
so 10 good faith. Now let the Legisla-
ture pass a law empowering the negro TO
make contracts, which contracts shall be
made and signed in the presence of two
or more witnesses, who shall also sign the
contract as such. This instrument would
thus become evidence in court. We are
satisfied that some such bill can be framed
which will secure the negro against fraud
and injustice, and a. the same time avoid
equali1ing him with the white nan as q
competent witness " IN our courts.
If we admit the negro to full equality
with white men 10 the courts. We had as
well bestow upon him the right of suf'
frage at once. There would be no dan
ger of a negro voting away the life or
liberty Of the white man, but there would
be danger Of his swearing them away.
We are the Incorporating opponeyt
Of negro equality in any shape or
form.
