Pioposeu as permanent organization OF
government, and irrepealable at least for
tWenty-seven years, if adopted.
AMALGAMATION OF RACES.
We have thus seen that the late slaves of
the State are to be exalted to all the offices,
honors and emoluments, and hold in their
| power all the appointments and patronage
Oh the State They are also, by express pro
vision, thrust into all the public convey
ances and places of entertainment. and thus
socially, as well as civilly and politically,
elevated above the educated refined, chris
tan, and heretofore governing class.
The school lands and educational funds
are all appropriated to this same system of
forcibly uniting and mingling the negroes
among the whites in all the public and pri-
yate affairs of life from the cradle to the
grave.
To complete this bill of abominations it
contains no prohibition against intermar
rlage between the black and white races
Ihls, suppose, is intended as charitable
condescension and privilege extended to the
inferior and degraded white race to enable
approach the Convention standard of negro
superiority and supremacy. Was there ever
more disgusting and criminal compound of
amalgamatien, miscegenation, and taxa
tion
INCREASE OF SALARIED OFFICERS.
Board of Public Works with salaried
officers at the will of the Legislature,
Lieutenant Governor, a Commissioners of
Emigration, a Superintendent of Public
Education, with swarm of new and here
tOfore unknown officers, detectives and spies
to be appointed at the will of the Legislature
are also provided for in this amazing paper,
prolific as it is with ingenious devices to rob
the best people of the State of all that is
h,.p 10 0toh hIa In bla in life
JUDICIARY APPOINTED.
In the Judicial Department, the elective
system is abolished, and the Judges of the
Supreme Court are appointed by the Gov
ernOr for nine gears and the Circuit Judges
for six years.
The Boards of Police are abolished and
replaced by a new system of supervisors.
The Probate Courts are abolished and that
Jurisdiction conferred on a separate Chan
cery Court, which is also established-a
grevious outrage on the rights of widows
and orphans, whose expenses will be enor-
mously increased and their business there
by delayed Gd infenitNn.
No property qualification is required for
jurors in any case thereby permitting land
cases to be adjudicated by negro paupers to
the injury of the landowners.
NO EDUCAT ONAh QUALIFICATION
FOR NEGROES FOR % YEARS.
Although an enormous fund is to be raised
out of the property of the white race to
force the education of the negroes in the
same schools with the whites, no education
al qualification is required for rioters or jurors
and by the wholesale disfranchisenent of
the whites the liberties of the people will
be in the hands of the ignorant negroes who
are sworn in the Loyal Leagues to be the
political slaves of their Radical masters.
Of fnti
amendment of the same can he made re-
quiring an educational qualification, or even
an intelligent understanding for voters, un-
til the wear eighteen hundred and eighty
five. The barbarous motive here displayed
is palpable The registered negro vote is in
the majority. They are ignorant, and likely
to remain so in despite of the unsought hon
ors and emoluments thrust upon them
They have no capacity whatever for govern
ment, and these Loyal League manipulatOrs
and kidnappers will necessarily be the chief
recipients of the honOrs and emoluments of
the State for period of twenty-seven years
in other words life estate for the Conven-
tion carpet -baggers. For this horrible
period we shall have the unbridled reign of
ignorance over knowledge-vice over virtue,
and crime over innocence.
BARBAROUs PENAL CODE-EX POST
FACTO LAW.
In snort Uno I6lOulOuS USSlSuS OI Den.
Butler & Co, entrusted for execution to the
"drop-shot-gang" of the late federal army,
whose special duty il was to despoil the
Southern States to the last point of human
endurance, crops out in bold relief from all
parts of this, the most ingenious audaciOus
and barbarous cOntTivance ever devised as
form of government for a civilized people.
1t is falsely and fraudulently denominated
"a form of civil government" 1t is simply
a barbarous penal code for the punishment
of the white race of Mississippi, because
they had the manly courage to assert their
constitutional rights against the corrupt
usurpations of the Radical party in Con-
gress and when driven to the wall, to main
tain the principles of tie Constitution of
United States by force of arms. 1t is GRIM
inal legislation after the fact creating po-
litical offences. and providing punishments
therefor never before known, and is in di-
rect violation of that clause of the Constitu-
tion of the United States which prohibits
er post tdcto laws.
COST OF COVENTION-TAXAT
The Convention was guilty of the most
unblushing and corrupt extravaganza alike
in the per diem of it's members-its appro-
prations to political presses established at
the expense of the people for its own uses
its allowance of extortionate printing bills
at the rate of S2S, 900 for a Job worth only
s. 600 at most-the extension of its session
from period of three days, all sufficient for
its legitimate purposes, to one hundred and
thirty-three days, and by all these corrupt
devices taxing tie already over burdened
and exhausted people to the estimated
amount of quarter of million of dollars,
to be Immediately collected, and if not paid
to be enforced by the military power of the
United States now present among us.
LOYAL LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Last though not least in the black cata-
logue of its Infamous devices Is the evident
adaptation of all the governmental powers
and official patronage of the proposed gov,
ernment to the political ascendency of the
Loyal Leagues, composed as they are chiefly
of negroes sworn under the pains and penal
ties of perjury, as we are reliably informed
to support tfeir brethren of the Convention
in all their measures. Having disfranchised
a large portion of the white vote by requir-
ing an oath which few men can take, and
enfranchised the negroes who are in the ma
iority of registered voters, and sworn them
to vote the Radical ticket, the seizure OF the
political power and revenues of the State.
and the adoption of such legislation as will
perpetuate their negro despotisms, is, to
