plished, and we welcome any law,
any authority, any state Of things
which promises to bring it about.
We think it far better that the
South should'be subjected for six
months to the will Of FIVE military
commanders, each Of them abso-
lutte and supreme in his own dis
trict, than be exposed to commo-
ton, anarchy and military domi-
nation for ten years. And that
seems to us the only alternative
open to them.
We trust therefore, that Con-
gress will pass it's explanatory law
without delay. Make it SO clear
and explicit that even Mr.. STAN
berry, with his legal microscope,
can detect 10 flaw in it. What
ever else it is, let it at least be
definite, and then, when the South
ern States have accepted and fuE-
filled it's conditions, keep faith
with them and take them back in
to Congress and the Union, on an
equal footing with the other States.
When that is done, we shall have
a beginning of a restored and per
fected Cnion-if we are ever to
have it at all.-Neac York Times.

that Convention. The Conven-
ton will have to make for you and
your children a State Constitution
Having voted for members of
the Convention to represent your
wishes and principles, then endorse
on your ticket, "against Conven-
tion." If a majority Of the votes
cast be against Convention no
Convention will assemble: and the
State will be left as it is at pre-
sent, under military rule, with
her Constitution unchanged, and
her rights as State unsacrifced,
by her people. If the majority

it will assemble, and the good men
chosen by you will be there to
protect your rights and interests,
as far as it may be in their power.
The military bill leaves it ell
tirely with the registered voters
to say whether a Convention shall
assemble or not. The voters have
an unquestionable right to exercise
their sound discretion. They are
not ordered to call q Convention,
and whilst option is left them, by
the powers that be, they should

GREENvILLE, S. c.. June "a, 1857.
P. S.-Since writing the above;
I have received the Louisville
Courier, published at Louisville,
Kentucky, from which l make the
following extract, Letters re-
ceived from prominent men in
Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis,
New Haven and other portions of
the North, use pretty much the
same language, and express q con-
fdent hope Of re-action~there :;
1T does seem to rs that it is the
patriotic and imperative duty of
every man who would not see
negro Governments established in
the Southern States, and white
men disfranchised and prescribed,
not only to register, but to vote
against Convention. The Southern
man who votes for Convention
will fix a brand Of infamy upon
his name which will cling to it,
and descend with it to his children,
so long as the wrongs ofthe South
are remembered among men or are
recorded in impartial history.''

The Montgomery Mail, in aHu-
ding to a proposition to send Dick
Bus(ced to the United States Sen
ate says: " -
"As for toadying such a man be-
cause he occupies scat upon the
bench, or because he may possibly
prove recreant to the party which
placed him in office, such a thing
is unbecoming the dignity OF
Southern people. The man who
would hetray one party would be-
tray another. ::
IF we cannot find good, consist
ent, honorable Southern men who
can take the test oath in the Uni
ted States Congress, let us elect t?
the Senate such men as Millard
Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, Robert
C. Winthrop, Erastus Brooks,
John p. Stockton, Daniel W. Voor-
hees or S. S. Cox. 1t is not neces-
sary that the representatives elect
ed by Alabama to the United
States Congress should be citizens.
Of Alabama. The Constitution of
the United States merely requires
that they should be citizens ofthe
United States. Rather thanSsleet
such men as Swayne and Busteed,
(Gen. swayne will please pardon
the connection,) who are merely
doniciled here, and are not of US,
let us elect straight-out Constitu-
tional Union men, wherever they
may be found. Tho HAL noml-
mates Millard Fillmore and Frank
lin Pierce as candidates for the

tion.'"

The South. and Reconstruct
ton,

Congress is disposed to make
clean work Of it's reconstruction
business. The bill reported by
the Reconstruction Committee in
the House is definite enough, and
absolute enough, to satisfy the
most fastidious. 1t simply makes
the military commander of each
district the only government over
it's people and within its limits
and sweeps away all other author
ity, legislative, executive or judi
cial, that might stand in his way.
1t treats the whole Southern coun-
try as if it were in a state Of war,
and hands it over 10 the absolute
control Of military power.
We arc not disposed to object to
this. We deem it wholly uncon-
stitutional, but that seems to be of
little consequence. Thomas JEFF:
ferson and James Madison would
have opened their eyes pretty
wide. if such action had been pro
posed in their day, or if they had
been told it would become posi-
bic in anybody's day; but they
have both been dead long time,
and are becoming more dead every
year. Besides, we are passing
through a revolution-one much
more thorough and complete than
the one which achieved our inde-
pendence of Great Britain-one
which is working far greater chan.
ges in the nature of our Govern
ment and the spirit of our instltu-
tions than that did-one before
which constitutional forms and
limitations Of power avail less than
nothing as checks and restraints
on the popular will.
But the country stands in the
presence Of one paramount, over.
whelming necessity Of restored
Union; and we shall not oppose
or resist anything which promises
that. There is danger that if we
do not get that soon, we may new
er get it. There is danger that
our Government may become one
of factions backed by force-of
conflicting sections'and States-of
Earring and wrangling interests
yielding obedience only to arms,
having no sympathy with each
other, no common pride, 10 mu-
tual love, no adequate conscious.
ness Of their common veal and
common destiny,
The reconstruction law promis-
es to restore the Union, if its con-
ditions are fulfilled. It opens a
gate through which the Southern
States can come back, and again
become constituents Of the nation.
, We want to see that end accom-
