6 Let us mt despair. We still have the Cor
stitntion. which, in the language of the great
- and GOOD aston, e With all its Epretended
defects and all ftss alleged violations, has
confer red more benefit en- man than ever yet
flowed from any other institution, and which
under God, if we be true to- ourselves, will
insure the blessings Of liberty to us and our
ppsterity" If this temple of liberty, is to
be destroyed, Ipray that NORTH atolina
may have no hand in this act of vandalism.
Let us III our forlorn condition emulate the
example OF the present chief magistrate of
the Dation who, amidst the tempestso of fury
which assail him, firmly steers the ship of
State by this chat of our liberties, and is
thus sinscri5ing his name high on the,temple
of fame" 49, :> r3
Ertract from a letter recently soritten by
Hon. William H. Graham to a CITIZEN Of
arkansas. .a- u -s."
"The situation of the States of the South, &.
to which you allude, is indeed melancholy.
We are realizing the truth of the declaration
of Mr.. Fox, that " the most dangerous Oh all
revolutions is restoration" The idea OF
distraining the States by military DONNA
ton. into the adoption of constitutions Tor
local governments, with the light OF suffrage
extended to negroes, without any qualifi'a-
ton, except being OF the male sex and over
81 years OF age, and by the Howard amend
nent ts the constitution Of the United States
at thesam time DISTINGUISHING all men OF
experience and influence among us, is the
most solemn farce that has been enacted in
all history. 1t is 10 roll back the tide of
civilization two centui les at least, anG place
tue ballot IN the hands of a,constituency lees
qualified for the Office Of government than
mas ever before existed in any republican
country. The board CT registers of voters
has just been announced here. and iocludes
one negro to two white men generally
ti'ougbous the State. When the whole Sc
ries Of steps in the process Of "leconstruc-
tion," as it is called. shall have been con-
templated, I think the people, wherever they
constitute majorities, will ind it to thcir iu-
teIest to vote against conventions for the OBJ
jects in view, and bear with the leigh of
military governments until another appeal
can be made to public opinion at the North,
and especially in the Northwest"
