FRANCHISE LAW.

We publish to-day, the decision Of
the Court Of Appeals, affirming the
constitutionality Of the franchise law
A few weeks ago. such a decision
would have taken us by surprise but
after the passage of the military bill
and its prompt execution by the Pres
ident, we ceased to hope for a wise
and just decision. The determine
ton Of Congress, and its ability to
reduce the ten excluded States to the
AFFECT political condition Of Tonnes
see, justifies the inference that the
same usurpod authority which has ac-
complishcd the first feat, will be ex.
erted to keep this State in its present
position. This bright prospect Of
holding on to power and Office was
too great a temptation to be resisted
by the material Of which the Court
j, composed, and so far from deciding
the question upon the broad grinci-
pies Of constitutional law and politi-
cal justice, they viewed it from a
standpoint of partizan and selfish
interest. To secure their hold upon
power, the greater the restriction of
the franchise the better. They know
full well that their party strength is
based upon the oppression of their
hctters and the successful violation
of every principle Of liberty and JUS
tice, and that free ballot will con.
sign them to the obscurity from
which accident dragged them. Be-
lieving this to be the true solution,
we give them full benefit Of the plea
of human frailty, and bestow all the
pity that charity can spare to the
weakness that delights in the infic.
ton Of wrong and suffering, for its
own emolument.

The above is the language Of the
Court Of Appeals, in their decision
OF the Franchise Law, and as it is
the only truth in that eminently
characteristic document, we take the
liberty of detsching it from the mass
of vapid sophistry and silly assump-
ton with which it is connected. We
do so, however, with no intention of
endorsing or controverting the opin-
ion, but simply to show what gross
Inconsistencies corruption must be
guilty Of whenever il undertakes to
defend its outrageous violations Of
truth and justice. When white men
are to be DISTINGUISHED, the Radicals
assert that suffrage is political right,
and subject to the will of the major.

franchised, they just as boldly assert
that suffrage is natural and inalien.

THE CONFERENCE.-The is our

THE CONVENTION This is our
last Issue before the first day of April,
and is the last opportunity to urge
the people to turn out in body,
and show to the world that they are
not so thoroughly enslaved as to have
lost the love Of liberty. IF political
liberty be not worth an effort to
achieve it, passive indifference is all
we'll enough. But, if the opposite
be true, no opportunity should be
lost for a manifestation Of its due
appreciation. If we cant vote, we
can speak, pass resolutions, assemble
in large and enthusiastic crowds and
give such expression TO our opinions
and our zeal as will not fail to exer-
else a salutary influence upon the
course OF events. We can do moth.
ing by sitting still, except display
an apathy that will encourage our
oppressors to 60 to greater lengths
Turn out, then, on Monday and, af.
ter that, go to work like men, and
let us see what we can do.

eRADICAL GAME.

1t seems pretty clear that it is the
purpose of the Radicals of this State,
to have a law enacted authorising
compensation to loyal men for losses.
during the war. The Brownlow can
didates will bushwhack it on this
issue, and expect to win over Con-
servatives by the promise of such
compensation. 1t behooves the peo-
pie to look into this matter ere it is
too late. The claims that would be
brought forward, under such law,
would amount to sum sufficient to
bankrupt the State. Real estate
would be worth little or nothing
the taxes would eat up the substance
of the people; the whites would be
too much impoverished to give EN-.
ployment to the blacks and the ruin
of the State would be as complete as
Radical malice can desire.
1t has been estimated, that the
sum required TO pay these claims
would be fifty or sixty millions Of
dollars-not that the losses amount
to the sixtieth part, but that every
Radical in the State will put in a
claim, even those who have come in
since the war. Tom would swear for
Dick, and Dick for H"rry. Men
who never were worth twenty cents,
outside of their shirts, could prove
losses to the amount Of hundreds
and thousands of dollars, and the
parties to adjudicate the claims would
go "snacks" with the claimants, and
the amount of fraud and stealing
would take the bottom dollar in the
Treasury and millions in bonds, a
ten cents to the dollar.
Some may imagine that even Rad
icals would not do such gross VIC
lence to justice but all such recko
without their host. The proposition
was before the late Legislature, ant
if such another body is elected, i
will consider itself instructed on thi
point and enact the law. 1t will b,
new mode of confiscation, and a
none will suffer but Rebels and TIT
negroes who are, dependent upor
them for homes and employment
they would not hesitate to bankrup
the State and then sack it. They
have nothing to lose.

U. s. SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON, /
March 18th, 1857. I

DEAR SIR Your letter of the sth instant
is received. The bill you referred to was
passed in the earnest hope that it would tend
to the full restoration Of all the States to all
their rights in the Union. The sixth section
think too harsh, but it was put in the
House as the result OF opposition from both
extremes. At the request Of large numbers
from the South we are passing a supplement
tary act to provide machinery Of reconstruc-
ton. The original bill left all this to each
State, but there was danger of double organ.
izaiion and conventions, aud therefore, 10
avoid further strife or difference, this new
act will be passed. 1t is merely scaGold-
ing.
Ny earnest conviction is, that the South
should not forego this opportunity TO be res
tored To representation; and you may rely
upon it, that majority in both Houses will
adhere to this Offer and execute il in good
faith, and to the letter if your people will
do likewise. Neither section can be pros
porous while the present condition Of mill.
lary surveillance prevails.
You can do as You please with this.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
