"ResoIred, That the committee take also
into consideration the case OF men discharged
from work on account of voting the Republi-

inquire at the same time into the cases of those

Mr.. MARYs said that he thought the Conven-
ton had no right to attempt to take action
not delegated to it by the acts OF Congress. 1t
was never contem plated thata Constitutional
Convention should make laws that would
array one party against another. This resolu :
ton certainly tended to that result. The
passing Of such measures would draw plain
dark line between the two races; IT would
estrange them more than ever, and, to be plain,
would eventuate in war OF races. And
then, as to the constitntionality Of the mea-
sure, suppose the landowners had turned OF
their employees or tenants on account OF their
vote They had a perfect right TO do so.

outrageous Conduct in Pulaski

Mayor Valentine, of Pulaski, who is
known to have been Union man
throughout the war, came to this city
Yesterday with a petition to General
Duncan, signed by great number oil
leading citizens, asking that company
of regulars be sent to that place for
their protection against the lawlessness
of the militia. They represent the militia
as being very disorderly, abusive, over
bearing, and totally unfit for the object
(if there was really any end in view but
violence) for which they were sent.
Instead of keeping the peace, they are
continually breaking it, with wanton-
ness Of which only such men are capa-
BILE. They have gone so far with their
utter disregard for law and order that
the citizens are kept in constant tear
both for their lives and property.
Mayor Valentine was introduced to
Gen. Duncan by Mayor Brown, and was
received by the General with his usual
frankness and courtesy. The latter,
however, not wishing to takethe respon-
sibility Of sending troops to Pulaski
without orders frcm Gen. Thomas, for
warded the papers to the latter for his
consideration. II is generally believed
by the citizens of Pulaski that the mill
tin at that place are endeavoring to get
np n row in order TO give Gen. Cooper
plausible excuse to retain them in the
service. They are too lazy to work, and
will not consent to be mustered out as
long as they can steal with impunity.-
