REPORTED DEAD.

The negro Dan, the chief actor in the murder Of
young GHzn in January last, is reported to have
died at the plantation Of DR.. o. r. BRoYLEs, near
Jonesbcro, Tenn, on the 4th ultimo. Two young
men from this community had been sent to East
Tennessee for the purpose Of arresting Dan, and
upon their arrival they ascertained that his career
was ended most miserably as above stated. These
gentlemen returned few days ago, bringing GER
tifcates from citizens Of the neighborhood, sub
stantiating the fact OF his death and identifying
him beyond doubt. Though human justice did not
reach this vile murderer the throes Of death indi-
Gated more terrible retribution beyond the grave.
Truly, "she way Of the transgressor is hard.''

ciple of the Constitution, confers upon
itself the right Of the pardoning power,
when the Constitution vests it in the
President. How long would it occupy
the attention of that body to remove the
disabilities imposed, for q sufficient num-
Der of our citizens to Eli the respective
Offices in South Carolina alone? Is an
-arehy to pervade society untilit suits the
interests, the prejudicies, the passion or
the caprice of Congress to proclaim such
acts of grace and mercy?
There are other objections of grave
character which mi ght be urged; aud
among these it may bo mentioned, that II
the amendment is adopted, VIC not only
have no guarantee that our representa-
tives would be admitted to Congress, but
there are unmistakable indications that
they would still be excluded. 1t is un-
necessary, however, to dwell upon sub
ject which has been so far decided by the
public opinion of the people of the State,
that I am justified in saying, that if the
Constitutional amendment is to be adopt
ed, let it be done by the irresponsible
power of numbers, and let us preserve our
own self-respect, and the respect OF our
posterity, by refusing to be the mean In
struments of our shame.

regulation is to be made, or non-residents,
who are entirely ignorant Of the popula-
tion, the intelligence, necessities and

taken? With this amendment incorpo-l
rated in the Constitution, does not the
Federal Government cease to be one of

Qualities which constitute such q form OF
&oyernment2 Nay, more; does not its
adoption reverse the well approved doc
srine, that the United States shall e1ar-.
oise no powers, unless expressly delegated
by the Constitution
The third section, if its spirit were car
pied out, would not only disorganize the
State Government in oil its departments,
3but would render it nearly impossible for
The people of South Carolina, at least, to,
sre.organniza government until Congress,
BY two-thirds vote in the case of each
individual person, removes the disability.
And this or the, reason that when seces-
sion was determined upon by the Conven-
ton OF the State, South Carolina may be
truly said to have been 8 unit In sustain
ing the doctrine, and in earnestly and
zealously prosecuting the war. When,
therefore, every citizen who, at any time
prior to secession had taken the oath "to
support the Constitution Of this State,
and OF the United States" and who sub
ssenuently aided and atetted the war, is
sevclnded from every official position, State

the past Of the State, civil and military,
was required, before entering ss e, upon the 10
subscri6eto such oath, from the Senator
in Congress to the lieutenant in. the beat
companies. Who then can be made
Judges, Congressman, Legislators, Dis
trict Officers and Magistratss2' 1t is to
Be observed, therefore, that as to this
State, the adoption Of the amendment will
necessarily result in perjury on the part
Of those Who attempt to fill such Offices,

tendance upon the famous Charleston Convention,
where "history was enacted" and where YANoEy
and DOUGLAS, both now silent in death, repre-
sented the opposing wings Of the great Democratic
party The impetuous Southerner lead the van
against the friends Of the Western orator-for, be
it remembered, DOUGLAS was not in propria per-
sons there, but only his views controlling the an
tagonistio element-aud day eftor day witnessed
the struggle, until finally oamo the elimination Of
the powerful combat, when members from various
States seeded from the Convention. We might
dwell upon this scene, and sketch the several char
acters Of the imposing drama There stood the
cool, intrepid yALLAxDISoHAN, the smoothly pol
ished FERNANDO WooD, the placid CALEB CUSHING
presiding with consummate ability, and others Of
less notoriety, from amongut the Northern poll
ticians. Here, making their egress from the spa
cious Hall, now tumultuous with The uproar Of
contention, were the Southern delegations, headed
BY their chosen and eloquent leader, the gifted
YANosY. Anon, with impurtsble gravity, stood
another whose devotion TO principle made him
quail not before the popular voice, and whose
"Union prooivities" then were uttered with man
liness and courage. Though no admirer Of Gov
PERRY as politician in those days, ne entertain
ed the highest respect for his boldness and te-
merity. Such was the scene presented at the In
stitute Hall just one year before the bombardment
of Fort Sumter. What mighty changes Civil
war ensued this action Of the Democratic party,
and after four years Of gigantic strife, peace has
spread her snowy drapery, after fashion, over
this land But where find We, amid the ruins,
the Institute rendered famous by the scene thus
described2 Alas its walls have orumbled, its
columns broken, and not yestige remains Of the
magnificent structure. The destructive FIRE Of
1861, which swept away hundreds Of houses, en-
braced within its desolating track this historical
building. Such were our reflections while stand
