SOUTHERN REpnEsKyrartoy.

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.
The white populations Of South Carolina
and Alabama have adopted ordinances In their
reconstruction Conventions. basing reprcsen-
tazicn within those States, aud in their State
legislatures, upon white population cxclu.
siveiy. Tic argument for so doing is, that as
ntnc but whites can vote, none but whites
shall be represented. Il this principle be
sonud in the State, II Is sound In the nation.
The precedent set by South Carolina and
A]alama will probably be followed In NIL
States where the blacks are more numerous
in one part OF the stste than In another. The
whites Of the hill country OF South Carolina
are unwilling that the vote Of one white resi-
den, of the sea itlands, or the coast, shall
have tue same power as the votes Of three,
five, Or ten up-couutry voters, So. the whites
OF Northern Alabama. where the negroes are
few, refuse to give the whlp hand 10 those or
Southern Alabama, where the negroes 1arrely
outuu,ubcr the whites, by allowing the nc.
c7ocs 10 bc seprcsented. The same onest5on
will come up, and probably be decided In the
sumo manner, In Texas, Gcorria. Florida
North Carolina and Virginia In Tennessee
and Kentucky there Is the saue conflict of In.
tercst, and the question must ultimately
come IN there In the SANG manner. When il
d. cs, the argument of Mi. Or, In the South
Carolina Convention. NAV be expected To

fruits Of a deep laid and reaching
strategy. which the foe could not com.
prehend until it was too late 10 escape
the tolls so adroisly spread for his feet?
Certainly in the cases at vicksburg
and At Richmond. the triumphant re.
suits are traeeable to wise generaiship
and enduring patience. which would not
be moved by clamor or pressure until
the time 70 move had come. The same
is partly true Of Donelson, though the
success there is attributable in no small
degree to the lack Of ability or stupidity
on the part Of the rebel generals.
But Grant is the great hero Of the
war.

our OWE people sill clip the wings Of
our progress or shorten its flight. The
grandeur and glory Of the RepabKe Of
the New World viii astonish the nations,
and all lands will look upon her with
admiration; al do her reverance.
We have passed through the furnace.
The fires. We trust. hare consumed some
of the dross. The nation has learned
to honor God and implore His aid, while
the benign influence Of the Christian
Commission has made al hearts bow
with reveranee to the blessed gospel Of
Christ, which has become the minister
ing angel. through it's professors.to tens
Of thousands Of our suffering soldiers.
And If the Nation honors God. God
will honor and bless the Nation.
