Ought We to Elect Congressman

Mr.. EDITOE-
There areIseveral good reasons why tie
Southern States should refuse to elect men,
bers to Congress. In the first place any man
no matteI whO-would certainly have the
mortificatiN of going to the city Of wash
ington. an( dancing attendance on such mis-
cradle fanatics as Sumner and Stevens; would
be insultedby having +" conditions precedent
thrust intohis face; would be told he was the
Representative of disloyal people; and even if
hecould take the Infamous g OATH" would not
be permitted to take seat among the repre-
sentatives Of the States. A member elect goes
to Congress- cringing suppliant begging a
detestible pick of office-holders. time servers
and political intriguers, to grant him those
rights which the Constitution already guaran-
tees to him The resolution introduced by
the Radical MOgul in reference to Tennessee
ought surely to convince any rational crea-
ture that the Radical leaders do not intend to
permit members from the Southern States to
take seats In that hall until the States they
represent pave given the right of suffrage to
the negroes, and complied with every require
ment of this traitorous knot of politicians
who, unfonRlnately for our country, now hold
the power ind WELD the destiny of this ma.
ton. We say we ought not to elect members
at all, for 1t is useless and worse than useless
Even if our members were admitted, what &
beautiful state of things we would have. A
radical would, in the heat of debate, brand 9
Southern member as a " traitor" In reply he
would be charged with thieving," or, which
would be proper, have the charge Of treason
hurled back in his teeth; and then would en-
sue one of those scenes so disgraceful and SO
humiliating to American citizens, which can
be found enacted only in the halls of our fed
eral House of Representatives. What hope
of harmony Allow can the gaping wounds
be healed. when these things would constant
ly be occurring to tear them open and make
them bleed afresh?
Then we would in all sOberness and candor
put the question to the people of the South
"What can We gain by electing member to
COngress?" How far will such an election
put us forward in the path to reconstruction :
What would be the consequences of a failure
to elect, and Alat injury would follow to the
South? Cartihy one answer us? *.*

Have no Fears.

Some shallow-pated fellow Is telling it
around, that the candidates for the Legisla-
ture whose names appear at the head of our
columns could not take their seats if elected
This Is such display of Ignorance that We
do not deem it worthy of notice. further than
to say, that the man who tells this, is trying
to play an "old hand" dealt to him, prehaps,
by the Legislature of ga. But unfortunately
the Legislature of GA passed no such act. The
only test act passed, requiring an oath was the
,"'.yoting act" and their own Supreme Court
was so shocked by it that they pronounced ii
directly in the face of the Constitution, and,
necessarily. void. This fellow is SO long a
member of the prescription and anti-rights
party, that he can't get rid fits peculiarities.
Judging from the material spoken of by the
Union League" for the Legislature, we feel
safe in saying "any body" can run for the
Legislature" 10 , .t

National Union Convention.

We notice with feelings of delight call for
a. National Union Convention" published in
the National Intelligeacer. 1t is to convene In
the city of Philadelphia on the 14th of Au-
gust next its members to be composed of two
delegates from each Congressional District OF
all the States; two from each Territory; two
from the District of Columbia, and four dele
gates at large from each State. The qualifica-
tiOns necessary to secure voice in its dclib-
erations are to sustain the Administration in
their reconstruction policy; the representa-
ton of all the States In Congress; the pursuit
of pacific and conciliatory measures, instead
of the revengeful and mcOmpromising hos
tility of the radical disunionsts; and unhin-
ching hostility to the course of the radical lea
der; of the country.
We are truly exhilerated by the thought
that our people are at last to be allowed an
opportunity to deny the foul, malicious asser-
tons that for weary months have fallen from
loud-mouthed, demagogue politicians whose
only excuse is their cOnsummate ignorance of
the character of the people whom they would,
in their hate, annihilate. Let the South send
her wisest and purest statesmen, and have ruii
confidence that they will do nothing. nor give
their consent to measures, calculated to pre-
scribe the rights of our sunny home. We re-
gret that our limited space prevents us from
giving our views at length on the subject, but
we may be tempted to do so at some future
time. The call is signed by A. W. Randall,
