The only question, we are privileged
to determine, IA, whether the present CON
stituted authorities viii take charge Of
the machinery and work it to the best
possible advantage for the pnble. or leays
it in the hsnds Of unknown adventures
or well known knaves, who may saddle
as with a despotism after the model Of
Brownlow. .c4
From The Mobile Advertiser and Register
The men who, were Yaucy alive to day,
would send him to the. scaffold as a U
ion breaker, have themselves completed
and perpetuated the work he only began.
There is no more American Union. Il
died with the Constitution, which was the
full life in its body. Yaucy is trium-
phat.2 He struck the blow to end what
Washintonbegan, aud the Radicals rare
but the inevitable links 10 the chain of
sequence and destiny which he forged.
From the Norfolk Virginiau. 49,.
In 1860 Virginia cast -165. 900 votes,
aud It is asserted that she could poll to
day 10000 after allowing 5 per cent,
which isithe Governors estimate, for dis
franchised classes. With. this power still
left to u, ne repeat, it is the duty ofour
Peopleto rouse from their apathy, and,
when our charter elections comes, with
the comcOmitants forced upon, rs by this
bill, we should be found, every man of
US, ready, in d temperate and discreet
manner, to use the only means left to
preserve cur municipal government
from the pollution with which they are
threatened by the political Dalgheltys
who have recently mustered under the
Sherman bill.

NrOm The Charlottesville (va) Chronicle.
We are very far from despair, black
as the prospect ia. The immediate aim
of our State should be to get back in the
Union as quickly as possible. There We
shall be measulably. at least, shielded
from the Radical storm. If We stay out
much longer, we shall have confscation
added TO negro suffrage. There we have
at least reached resting place. There
We can get control of our State affairs
there We can make another State Consti
tutiOn.
From The Charleston Is. c. Mercury.
10 our judgement any military rigor-
any coerced submission to any terms-js
preferable to the voluntary debasement
and infamy, and the permanent, irretriev-
able ruin the Southern States will incur
by adopting the terms of this bill.
From the Louisville (Ky.) Journal.
The people of the South, if wise and
prudent, can live for time under such
a damuabIe tyranny as this, but if they
TO it, they deserve it. They don't
deserve it, and they will never consent to
it. They would sooner see their beauli
full cline Whelmed beneath a second Dead
Sea.
From The Wilmington IN. c. gispateh.s
There is but little doubt that the South
ern States will make haste to fulfill the
of the Sherman bill in the
event that it shall become law and
that they will do all they can speedily to
rid themselves of the military surveillance
to which they will be reduced under the
scheme. This aOiIL be done With tie hope
that many of the disqualification, a0hieh
aOiH be resultant, may be avoided. and
that the peace for which they have so
longed may be enjoyed. But
whatever he motive, there is left no room
to doubt that prompt action will be taken
to avail themselves of all the benefits to
be derived by a surrender ofOpposiIion to
the purposes of the Radicals who WELD
the power of the Federal Government.
From The Griffin (Ga.) Herald.
We look upon universal suffrage as
one of the greatest calamities that could
befall our country, and for the sake of ell
that is good, We trust the Southern peo-
pie will not be partakers in the crime of
bringing it about. s..-.
From The Richmond Examiner.
In this, the crises of our fate, let us
