speech ora New Jersey Senator

Frederick La. frehnghuysen, lately ap-
pointed Senator in New Jersey vice
Wright, deceased, made a speech at New
ark the other evening, saying he should
enter the Senate unpledged BY any par
ticular line of action, and would endeavor
to promote the interests OF the whole
country without regard to color. He
believed the Republican party is the par
ty of progress, aud that the president had
grievoasly erred in not gathering the
fruits of the war. lie heartily endorsed
the Constitutional Amendment, and should
insist upon its adoption by the Southern
States. If the south despise our terms
they assume fearful responsibility, and
if they refuse to adopt the amendment the
loyalists which compose Congress have
power to decide on the qualification of it:
members, and having that power have al.
so power to decide on the qualification Of
voters. 1t is the province OF the Republi.

vate the whole race, because the march
of Liberty will go forward until the whole
race is brought to an elevated condition

Il. Z, BOUDINoT, Esq Dear Sir Your
note of the Goth nit has reached me
Your request about the papers shall be
attended to. And now, one word about
the policy to be pursued in your State.
1t is the persistent misrepresentation OF
the Radical press about the feeling pre-.
yailing in the South, that has done 90
much to secure their triumph this fall,
and on this account, especial care should
pe taken to avoid furnishing them mate

no mistake, and | cannot but regard it as
q grave orc to sead any man 10 Congress

oath The priueival stock in trade OF
the Radical party Is that the President
! proposes to put Hktbais' IN power and
4 thqk appeal with great esrnestness to the
4 passion OF the North, Nth tae msmry,
] ''sha.l alsl0lBl men rue the country
/ That appeal would be Invested OF It's

reseptatNes Of tic South i; is much
LESS difficult, before the northern public,
TO iAsist upon the indeteasible right to
/ his seat in Congress, Of q citizen who can
take the test oath, than to defend that OF
one against whom the cry Of "Rebel''
and Traitor can be raised.
| would therefore most earnestly urge
that in the selection Of both Senators aud
/ Representatives, the South should pick
out men Of the highest character and
most unohjectionable (unobjcctional
mean to the North, and thus strengthen
the hands of their friends who are insist.
ing upon the right Of representation.
SO too in regard to the rejection of the
Constitutional Amendment Care should
be taken to couch that rejection in the
calmest and most judicious phrase, avoid.
ing every expression that can bstortur-
ed into resentment or unkindness to its
supporters. Every expression Of indig-
nation from the South, only plays into
the hands Of the Radicals by giving color
to their charges of disaffection or disloy
atty, and in my judgement it is therefore
the true policy in assigning the reasons
for the reputation of the Amendment,
to do it in language as passionless as a
Judges charge. II a fecling appeal is
made to the better nature Of the North
ern men, so much the better. Human
nature is pretty much the same every
where, and men will often freely accord
as right, temperate asked for, what they
would fercely refuse as an obligation Of
fensively insisted upon.
Hoping that moderate councils md q
judicious choice may be yours, and that
we may soon have the pleasure Of wei
coming the Representatives from Arkan
sas on the door Of both Houses.

The University of South Carolina.

The Legislature, properly appreciating our
condition, has merged the South sCarolina
College into University. This will enable
the student to pursue such studies as his means

corps of Professors Of whom are we'll
and favorably known throughout the South {:

The Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
part pay Of the Professors, which, as the
amount heretofore given to the College was
about s25, 900, will be great saving to the
State Possibly, the University will be al
most or quite self-sustaining in few years.

their conduct in the extreme South. In AL

progressed for about thirty hours, in which
blacks and whites figured indisorimihatcly
some dozen persons were killed, and number

The Board

TO approve contracts for labor, between
whites and blacks, for the present year, was
in session at this place on Monday and Tues
day last The Board worked diligently and
faithfully, and gave, we think, very general
satisfaction.
On Monday, Capt BRAY, the Provost Mar
shal, addressed the mixed crowd of people
present He said he was here to govern all
white and black-without detriment or preju-
dice to either. He told the negroes, that the
government had neither land, horses, or ra-
tions, for those who were able to work. He
enjoiued habits Of industry, prudence, and
honesty, on the part Of the freed people, and
believed such course on their part would en-
sure them friends. He warned them against
the evil intentions of some of their own color
and those of low, degraded white persons !;
and ventured the assertion, that their former
inasters-those who had raised them and min
istered to their wants and necessities
their best friends. He told them plainly that
they must work or perish.
Capt. BRAY said he had been abused for
withholding the hire for 1865. He had done
80 TO prevent the freed people from foolishly
trading it away during the excitement Of the
holidays. He will order this corn, &C., de-
livered az it is needed.
Capt. BRAY's remarks were we'll received.
His mission amongst us, dsagreeable and del
icste in its nature, has, 'Se are glad to say,
enabled him, by his intelligence, firmness and
Kindness, to preserve the peace and good or
der Of the community, and make friends of
many Of both races.

~ ~ IS ,.- p 81 ~ e' . ~ 4;
rapidly forward in this matter. We want
white labor, which, by competition, will in
duce the blacks to work. We want, more
over, wall between the two races and this
can only be effected by inviting the foreigner
to make his home among US. Already, con-
siderable number Of foreigners have arrived
in Virginia and North Carolina. We hope
enr Legislature will come up to the work in
earnest at the next session.

The President be he whom he may; simply
because he is, whilst in Office, bound by the

faring worse than The PRESIDENT at their
hands. The PRESIDENT is allowed to be out

the difference.
WENDELL PHILLIPS is dsturber Of the

Such is the popularity Of his nature.
