CICERO HARRIS, Sec'y.
Alabama.

A RADICAL CONVENTION AT HUNTSVILLE.
On the 4th of March, a Convention under
lead of Judge Saffold, Judge Humphreys,
Mr.. j. C. Keffel, and other well-known cit
liens of Alabama. assembled at Huntsville.
The movement originated entirely with white
men, but had the support of all the promi-
nent representatives of the colored men.
Gen. Wagner Swayne among others, address
ed the Convention at length. Of the many
radical resolutions adopted the following are
the most interesting:
"Resolced That the rejection of the amend
ment proposed to the Constitution of the
United States, known as the 14th Article,
by the Southern States, has induced the &C
ton upon the part of the legislative power
OF the Union in adopting other and more
radical measures to suppress the spirit of re-
bellion and the political idea of State antag-
onism to Federal control.
"Resolced, That the policy of inactivity
expressed by the opponents ofCongress, and
the refusal to participate in the restoration
policy of the law-making department of the
Union, is the work OF well-known hostility
to the Union, and. in the judgment Of this
Convention, no measures compatible with
the safety of republican governments could
be adopted that would satisfy this opposing
element
Reso1ued, That property qualification at
tached to the right of suffrage is anti-repub-
lican and dangerous to the liberties of the
people.
g Reso1ued, That we recommend to the true
Union men of the different counties in the
State to hold county meetings within the
next go days, and that these meetings send
delegates to general Convention, to be held
in the State Capitol, at such time as may
be appointed by the Executive Commit
teen
A State Convention has been called to
meet at Montgomery early in May, to take
formal steps to reconstruct Alabama on the
conditions of Congress-

COngresss

1t is stated fiat the President will veto
the supplemental bill. We do not see why
he should do this. Isit to be his will always,
and never the will of the nations Congress
will remain in session until the bill can be
passed into law over the veto.
On the 22d. Mr.. Wilson introduced res
olution in the Senate declaring that COM
mon justice, sound public policy and nation
al honor require the speedy trial of Mr.. Davis
or his release on bail. Laid over.
The Senate concurred in the House amend
ment furnishing ten thousand arms to the
Tennessee militia. Gov. Brownlow will
thus be enabled to preserve the peace and
pcrpetuate sound Unionism in Tennessee.
The House passed the bill from the Senate
to provide relief tor the destitute people of
the South. 1t provides for relief to all who
are suffering for food, from the unexpended
monies of the Freedmens Bureau. Quite
spicy debate occurred on the bill between
Messrs. Butler and Bingham, in which the
latter came off second best This measure
was opposed on two grounds, first, because
of the want of power in Congress to dispense
charities, and secondly, because it would be
a bad example to provide for rebels as well
as loyalists, &c. If the Southern States were
in loyal hands these objections might be OBJ
waited, by levyihg special taxes on rich reb-
els to feed, and clothe and educate the suf-
fering and ignorant poor.
Congress will probably adjourn to Decem-
ber 1t has performed its work well, and
deserves therefor the thanks of every loyal
man in the nation.

THE DANGER OF FREEDoM- We are told
by the rebel press that the freedmen are gen
orally unable to cope with the great ques-
tons of the day, hence are unfit to be allow
ed the right to vote. Admitting that newly
acquired freedom has its evils, the question
arises, how shall those evils be eradicated Z
We are told that the people lately let loose
among us, freed from the house of bondage
in which they have been reared in the blind
ness Of ignorance, must be kept in ignorance
of their rights, and surrounded by laws cal
culated to hold them in allegiance, to class,
or race, protesting superiority of rights
based upon the whiteness of their skin and
general intelligence.
They repeat the old Bourbonic maxim,
that " no people should DO free until they are
fit to use their freedom Don't go into the
water till you have learned to swim,n is full
as sound logic as that used by these "superi-
or" gentlemen. Wall them up, hem them
in, surround them with obstacles, make serfs
of them, since we cannot hold them as slaves !;
don't let them infringe upon our exclusive
rights" is the position which the rebels have
occupied ever since the close of the war.
We say put the young swimmers into the
water; let them use their freedom let them
out into the full blaze of Gods blessed light
of universal liberty. Itmay dazzle and be-
wilder them at first, but let them gaze on
and they will soon be able to bear its strong
est rays. We say throw them in contact
with the ideas of men, give them light, both
simple and profound; let them loose among
the scattered elements of truth, and no mat
ter how ignorant they may be, they will soon
cease to conflict with the machinery ofhu-
man progress. Coalescing with events mark
ed out by the hand of Time, as tangible ben
efts, they will bring order out of chaos, and
rear system ofjustice upon the principle of
universal liberty.
"Give the eagle wings and it will fly"
Rob the freedmen of the means of lettering
their condition, and they will necessarily re-
main ignorant. Givethem the right to vote,
and they will, like all other people, give
themselves the means of education. They
will step out into light, into civilization, and
give strength to the strong power of peo-
plesgovernment.-NoyoHRep Republican.
