The VOTE ON THE CONVENTION IN
SOUTH Charleston District
alone there are seventy-six votes less than
the number required for the call of the Con-
VentlOn.
1t is to be presumed that the vote in the
other districts of the State has not been
nearly as full as here, where every exertion
and effort was made by those interested to
poll the blacks. 1t is fair, therefore, to
conclude that the Convention has been de-
feated.
Nothing can be positively concluded until
the receipt of the official returns.
The number OF registered voters in the
State is one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand two hundred and eighty six Q25, 1861
In order to carry the Convention it is,
therefore, essential that sixty-two thousand
six hundred and forty-three votes i'll all
should have been cast
We doubt whether this number has been
reached. If the returns to be received are
in the same proportion as those which have
already come to hand, the number will fall
far short of that which is requisite Char.

SUFFERERS BY THE REBELLIoN.-You
who have been SO stripped of property that
you are reduced from affiuence to poverty
who are burdened by debt, remember, that
you have been robbed and reduced and
burdened by the action of the Democratic
party that same Democratic party which
is now seeking your support. The policy
of the Democratic party brought Oh the war.
The action of 1860, at Charleston, was
taken in full view of the fact that war would
result. This was deliberate action. Your
disastrous and present unfortunate condition
are results of Democratic rule. Democracy
always was-is now and ever will be synony-
nous with secession.
Secession will be destruction. Men of

The Rebel state G0vernments---Hatln atm.
cation of the New Consultations.
We most earnestly appeal 10 the Congress
of the United States to consider one thing,
and that thing isathis: ~
Thrce-fourths of all the office-holders in
North Carolina, from the Governor down,
are opposed to the reconstruction acts and
hostile to the government. 1t is provided
by the reconstruction acts that the civil gov
eminent of the State which is provisional
in its nature shall be continued until the
State is restored to the Union. This, we
take it, refers to the polity or frame work of
the government, and not to those who I'LL the
offices. The frame work may be continued,
but the present officers can be turned out,
and new ones put in. The great object OF
the reconstruction acts is to provide loyal
governments for these Southern States. Can
this object be accomplished too soon =? Ger
tainly not. Well, then, why may not the
Congress by q supplemental act provide that
the loyal Constitutional Conventions of the
States may remove disloyal State officers and
appoint loyal men in their places?
frame Constitution under which our peo-
pie are to lve it may be for quarter of a
century, surely it might be authorized to do
this work, Ito be deemed provisional onlyD
especially as if promptly and judiciously
done, as we believe it would be, it would
materially aid our loyal people when they
come to vote on the ratification of the new
Constitution. We pray the Congress to bear
in mind that the loyal people OF this State
have succeeded thus far in the work of re-
construction against great odds. They have
had to contend against all these rebel State
officers from constable up to Governor, and
against all the wealthy State corporations;
and though this fact enhances the splendor
of their victory, they are not anxious TO car
ry any more weight in the future than may
be necessary.
We trust the Congress will either authorize
the Convention to do this, or that it will
provide that majority of the votes cast
shall be sufficient to ratify the new Consti-
tuition. Indeed, we do not perceive why
both of these things may not be done In
the first place, it is wrong, if not cruel to
permit these rebels longer to hold office over
loyal men; and secondly it would be unjust
to the loyal, unwise in ITSELF and injurious
to the whole country, which is deeply in
terested in the work of reconstruction, to
permit small number of sullen and discon-
tented rebels to defeat the new Constitution
by refusing to vote upon it when submitted
to the people at the polls.
