The Niggers in Columbia Do us They
are Bid, and the President Does as
He is Bid.

He is Bid.
That is, tho niggcrs, white and black, of the
Legislature, adopt the Fourteenth Article, and the
President thcrcupon issues the proclamation or
dcrcd by Congress. The said proclamation will
be found in another column. Aud here again is
another installment of miserable Radical bosh.
AS the law appears on its face, tho citizens of n
State have tho option to admit all male inhabi-
tants of such State, above tho ago of twenty-one,
to the ballot, or by restricting them, to diminish
their own representation in Congress. Ssveral Of
tho Southern States accepted tho proposition
and adopted it. But Congress subsequently prac-
tically nullGed its own act 1t passed arbitrary
laws establishing unqualified and unrestricted
negro suffrage in nil the excluded States, and
authorizing the negro Conventions to force negro
suffrage upon the people of those stntes by con-
stitutions which their authors declare to be per-
pctual and all who vote under them must take
an oath never to attempt to restrict any right or
privilege, or social or political advantage, on ac-
count of origin or color. There is, therefore,
no option between universal suffrage and re-.
stri,ted suffrage, such as it was proposed to place
within the reach of the people OF the South. The
Southern white man, if he vote at all, must vote
in the face of negro majority, and swear never
to attempt to diminish that mojority by excluding
any of the voters. These governments are Afri-
cau;zed, and the attempt is made by violating
tho conscience of voters to deter them from ever
endeavorlng to remove the yoke of negro supre-
macy from thcir necks, butto transmit it to pos
terity through all future time. Of course this
bondage will be only temporary; but the FARGO of
submitting the Fourteenth Article, and the farce
of the poor niggers adopting it, and of the poor
old President issuing his proclamation, is too
disgusting and insulting to be borne with any do
gree of patience. 1t is adding insult to injury /;
and it is also adding, we hope, birthstone to the
fire which is ere long to burn up the Radical
thieves and devils who have riot .or eight years
past in Washington.
When the white race get the upper hand, they
will summarily demolsh these negro constitutions,
and assume tho supremacy with which God and

For the Advertiser;
a Prayer for Rain.

o! Thou, who doth in Heaven reign,
And o'cr the earth thy sceptro sway,
Wilt thou not Lord, in mercy deigp,
To hear thy children when they pray,
To thee in faith for rain?
To US O Lord, hast thou not said,
That We should most devoutly say,
Give us this day our daily tread"
When e'er we at thy footstool pray,
And shall we ask in vain?
II.
we humbly pray for genial showers,
To water we'll the thirsty soil
The parchiug crops and dropping flowers,
And cheer the hearts of those that toll
TO make their daily bread.
For thou hast taught US in thy word
That thou dost watch the sparrow's fall
Tho ravens cry by thee is heard
And that thy creatures, each and all,
Are or thy bounty fed.
III.
Encouraged thus, we come, o Lord,
With confidence and fai!h to pray;
That thou, according to- thy word,
Wilt take this scourging drouth away
And help US in our need.
Then shall our hearts be filed with joy,
Of dreaded famine's fears instead;
Our praise shall reach thy throne on high,
For to the cater there'll be bread,
And to the sower seed.
