Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-11-22

The National HH~telfgenccr OF a late
date, says:
The people Of the ten prescribed States
~ the south have been much cheered
and encouraged by the results Of the cleo
IONS in the Northern and Western
Efefas Rut they are now beginning TO
in1uire what real benefit, what practical
relief this change Of politics, so general
in the lately Radical communities, VIII
b-;D0 to them. The change has, indeed,
baan long deferred, and will De slow IN
tbe ~nropTess towards s thorough revolt
ton in the governing pow er-now prac-
ficallv centered in a sectional congress-
THE Dp0ule will still be mlsrepresenteo,
or non-represented, in Congress, at least
for a wear or two to Ome The people
cannot repeal the barbarous and oppres-
sfve reconstruction acts. They cannot
restore the Southern States and people
10 their constitutional rights, n proper
r1.ee in the Union. Tbereisltus ground
Tor me hone that this Congress Will re
trace its stems. Its leaders have avOWed
their determination TO disregard the YER
diet Of the people, and 70 persist IN their
scheme for the establishment and maln-
rznsnce Of negro supremacy in the South
rrn states, and, thereby, over the whole
Union.
There ia no reason TO expect thst this
Radical Congress will become more
uTacsble towards the white Conservative
citizens Of the South, or more cohside-
rate even Of the best interests OF the
North. This Congress vii insist upon
the fuIflnent, by each OF the excluded
States. Of every provision and condition
M he reconstruction acts. They must
and will have uegrO-Radicsl allies in
south, To enable them 10 cOunterbalauce
the Conservative forces advancing
against them from the North.
What, then, it is asked, can citizens Of
the South do in their present situation?
From what quarter can they expect
carly reIief9 Not from the United
states senate, for that body will remain
Radical for four years, and resist the re-
peal OF modification Of the recoBstruc-
ton sets. The House Representatives
may be Democratic or Conservative IN
the next Congress through the elections
in tie states now represented. But If
the Radicals bring into the House, as
they say they will, fifty Radical negro
rep~rezentatfves, they will still maintain
3 majority.
It is absurd 70 suppose that Congress,
in this cssp, will revert to positive meas
ures-to co~nfscstiOD, Acknowledgement,
etc. The people will not tolerate this.
The only salvation for the South and for
M whole country is to be found in the
DosajhIe chance that the Southern peO-
ME will reject constitutions fixing upon
them aud upon the whole Union the des-
potic rule Of the Radical party, through
the establishment OF negro supremacy.
The New York Day Book says:
While we have never presumed to
advise the Southern people, We VIII ven

impIiediv, to anything done by the mon

and that awful train OF nameless horrors

pafislt and wait. Ithas inception in the
matter. It is entirely dependent on the
Democracy Of the North and the Con
servstive Republicans and the undoiBg
o. a swift mischief is always the slow
workoftime. The work Of Reconstruction
must needs run its course. All the Pro
yiuces will become negTO-radical States,
and be admitted into the Union before
the Spring Of 1858 opens, with twenty
Jacobin Senators, in addition to those Of
Tennessee, and fEy Representatives.
OF course it will be impossible for the
South 70 nd itself Of negro suffrage, until
it can be sustained by a Democratic
President and Congress. Whether 3
Democratic President can be elected
against the Electoral votes Of the Rsdi-
cal Northern States, aud the undivided
Southern Electoral vote Of eighty and
whether a Democratic majority can be
obtained in each House Of Congress
within four or five year,, at present
seems very doubtful. The time viii
come. perhaps, when the white men Of
tie Southern States can exercise their
herent right OF holding Conventions
and framing white mems Constitutions, 4
limiting the privilege Of suffrage as they
nav deem wise and just; but If the
white men Of Tennessee, the Union-men
sickening ofthe burlesque o-fg0vernment
which negro-sufrage iniicts upon the
state, should now, or within any short
psriod, hold a Convention and
adopt a new Constitution, how
could it be put in operation =?
Il il r that the Constitution Of Ten
nessee contains the following provisions ;
ARTICLE 1.
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS.
"SECTIoN J.. That al power is ihhe-
ia the people, and all free govern

happiness; foE the advancement Of those
ends. tbey haze, at an times, an aaaliea

for the common benefit, the
Ioctrine Of non-Tesistauce against arbi-
