The Alabama Convention.

The Convention consists of ono hundred
members, of whom only one is classed as
a Conservative. A majority of the mem
bers are from Northern States, Freedmen's
Bureau men, registering officers, and
seedy vagabonds whose lack Of citizenship
is not their chief objection. The temper
and capacity of the body may be inferred
from the following report Of last Saturdays
proceedings:
The proceeding of the convention to-day were
opened by long-winde prayer from hi Oh col
ored chaplain, who invited blessings on i" Union
ers and curses on "rebels."
A resolution providing that it is tho sense OF
this convention that the constitution to be adoP-
ted shall be in no degree proscriptive," and that
1.-The convention has charity for all and malice
toward none," was debated at great length and
with considerable vehemence. MIR. Temple, OF
Montgomery, said the business OF the convention
was reconstruction, not prescription. The pro-
position was attacked by Mr. Griffin (of uncertain
color) editor of paper called the Mobile Nation7
alist who said that the internal rebels had acted
like dsys turned loose from hell, and that his
party could not meet Internal rebels on fair po-
iItical field. de therefore moved indefinite
pOetpOu ement OF consideration of the resolution.
This motion after some debate was carried by q
vote OF 6J to 22-tho negroes and Bureau dele
gates voting cn inasse to postpone.
OF such d body the New York Horald
says:
Here are Gems tuition makers who not only can
not write their names but cannot always tell what
their names are. Moses, possessed Of all the
learning of the Egyptians, and diyinoly inspired
made constitution for his people, and why
should not Sambo make constitution when he
gets the chance! Plato was Constltu ion maker
also; nations of antiquity sent their delegates
years journey to have their constitutions by the
wisdom of the StaEyrite Menue, SOlon, Lycurgus
were constitution makers; Rome, before the time
OF the TNelYe Tables, feeling the necessity for
constitution, sent wise men into all the cities of
Greece to study the torms of government and
frame her law; all the barOns OF England became
constitution makers III another age; and now all
the niggors of Alabama are to give the subject
their lofty consideration. Madison, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Jay were constitution makers, and they
have their successors. SambO, Cutiea aud Pomp
arc the names that age adds to the II ustrlout1
list that, beginning with Solon, comes down to
Story. Constitution makers were tho Wlseet men
of a nation. and now they are the men whose
learning consists in the ability to distinguish be-
tween pork and possnm. Happy age'
