RArIoALs PROTEST AGAINST THE NEGRO coNsT1TU-
TIoN-oPINIoN OF THE RADICAL PREss-THE
WHITE RADICALS DISCUSSED.
MONTGOMERY, December 27.-Nicholas DAVIS, q
prominent Radical, Of North Alabama, has pub
lished a letter fully endorsing the address OF
Messrs, Semple, Speed and others, protesting
against the proposed State Constitution.
The Huntsville Advocate, a Radical organ, calls
for the reassembiing Of the convention for the
purpose of modifying the provisions of the new
constitution in regard to schools, the franchise and
the registration oath. 1t says: "If the c~onstitu-
ton is not modified, environed as We are and al
most in q state of anarchy, its adoption can only be
accepted as a choice of evils, nor defended as right
and proper. But it is in our power to modify the
evils low, and for that purpose call the convention
together again"
Shiels, of the Tuscumbia North Alabamian, re-
pudiates the nominations made by the self-consti
tuted political convention.
The Huntsville Advocate repudiates the actor
of Radical meetings in North Alabama, and says
that the white Unionists are ignored and rejected
as.unsound.
The Conservatives all over the State are aro,isr
ing, and are determined to use every effort to de
feat the Constitution. In North Alabama the
whites who went with the Radical party are leav
inc it on account of the Objectionable feature il
the constitution.

POLITICAL CONDITION OF me STATE.

In reference to the political condition Of my dis
trict, 1 haze TO report everything extremely quiet.
The registration of the citizens under the Recon
slructlon act and inc acts supplementary thereto,
has practically ended, and has been accomplished
without violence and disorder, which was predicted
by many of the OLD inhabitants of the State, who
horrOr-strdci Mt such Il proposed revolution as
would bring about the political equality of the
white and black races, were loud Ill Tie prophcsiea
of riot and disorder. These, i: was assorted,
would DO the concCmitants of any attempts OF the
ireedpeOple to register, while tho results Of such IL
state of affairs would be Il war OF races. If even
the remote possibility OF such 4 war be considered,
NV observations lead me TO believe that It would be
brought about by the whites, and not by tie freed
men. The latter are q law-abidins people; their
habits, sympathie5 and predictions are all in IA
vor OF peace and quiet, AMI nothing out oft re-
peatcd and long continued abuse and injustice will
ever excite them to an appeal from argument TO
tho. bayonct.
They have thus fur SHOWN no disposition to use
their freedom III an eXactlnS, lntolerant, or Often
sivc manner, but on the contrary appear to be de-
sirous OF SO using the blessing conferred upon
them, TINT it will he productive of absolute politi
cal equality, and equal and exact justice TO all.
The conduct Of the freedpeople has had its !c.
~gitirlate effect upon tue minds, and 4 pcrceptiblc
influence upon the actions OF the better classes OF
those who formerly were their masters. IntoIe-
rance on the part OF tho whites has ceased to DO
universal, and from this improved state Of feeling
Oh both sides, the best results are suro TO follow.
The implicit confidence with which the freed
people look up to any man who claims to be LOYAL
to tie government. enables bad or designing men
10 use them too often to accomplish then own
selfish ends. This evil can only be corrected by a
more healthy and LIBERAL state of public sentiment
among the good men OF the Sta!o, who must soon
discover that their only hope for prosperity in the
future il by establishing a generous confidence
bctncen the races, and thus drive from among
them men who aim to thrive by the ignorance and
credulilv of the frcedmen.

alongside of the President, with the amiable |
Secretary of the Navy, in which position we |
supported Mr.. Johnson in his trying circum- |
stances Mr.. Stanton was not present. The
President rose and said:-''A few days ago l |
wrote to the Secretary of War that wished
to secure harmony in our meetings, and as he
was always disposed to vote nay when the
rest of us voted yea, and yea when the rest
of US voted nay, thought he had better not
have his feelings hurt by being obliged to sit
here and see us all going contrary to his
wishes. l sent word to this effect in com
munication to him by the hands of Colonel
Moore, my private Secretary, but have had
no answer.''
Mr.. Seward here spoke up and said that per-
haps he doesn't want any accommodations
from the President (Great laughter by all
but Mr.. Welles.) "He, % the President, chad
since learned that Mr.. Stanton was not at
work, and was losing great deal of time rum
ming to see Mr.. Greeley and others, as to what
he should do, while his pay was going on all
the time. He would now move that the Cabi-
net dock him. for his lost time, as the only
way of bringing him to sense of his duty"
Mr.. Welles here interposed, and wanted to
know if docking the Secretary of War was the
same as docking any other Man-of-wari
The President at this remark could hardly
keep himself within proper bounds of dignity
for laughter. He halloed over to Mr.. Seward
as to what he thought of that, and said to me
in low tone that that was the smartest thing
he ever heard Mr.-''what's his name, the
Secretary of the Navy ?''-say. The only one
that did not understand what was going on
was the Secretary of the Navy himself who
was unconscious of the joke, and after the
confusion had little subsidized began to ex-
plain that if the Secretary of War was to be
s'docked" he would have to be sent to Ports
mouth, New Hampshire, as all of the other
docks Were occupied with larger craft. This,
as the reader may conceive, made the thing no
better, and the hilarity at the Secretary of the
Navy's expense became general. Poor Mr..
Welles' face got very red, which, under his
white top-knot, looked very much like a we'll
filed decanter with tall stopper. had to
explain to the Secretary myself the meaning
of the term docking" as applied to employed
men. before he could be toned down to his
natural color. He said he had never heard o
such thing in Connecticut, and, besides, hi'
mind had been for over six years running OF
ships, and he had got quite into their '0Gys
The President here gave me nudge but
felt that had better make no demonstration
considering the grey hairs of the venerabl
Secretary. Mr.. Seward, noticed, was also u
a smiling humor.
Ths President again rose and said, "Wha
