the law o! Acknowledgement, confscation,
deprivation of the right to pursue the lib
eral professions, negro oificcrs-the cstab-
lishment of n He'll. Is the picture improb-
able? What does the past Legislation prove
We believe that such act is not only con-
icmplated but framed that the act man
aching the Supreme Court was but pre-
paratory step nd safeguard to such horri-
BILE crime. In other words, the fruits OF
no convention would be 10 Congress a
plausible pretext for confscation Of the
property and total disranchisement OF
rights of the whites of the South, thereby
establishing negro supremacy and securing
Radical rule.
What if there should be n convention
The Reconstruction Bill provides that the
constitution rs framed by the conven-
ton, shall be submitted to Congress for
approval or rejection. If that constitution
did not further the designs of the Radica
party, are there any so hopeful as to think
it would not be spurned from the doors of
the capitol.
How is it to aid and further the designs
of the traitorous committee or junto? What
are the designs of that junto? Mr.. Ste
vens has boldly declared that the great OBJ
.ject of the party was power. This can only
be aided by DISTINGUISHING so many as may
70 necessary to secure Radical majority
not only in Congress, but in the Presiden.
tial election. The Cabal forsees as does
every intelligent mind that unless the
whites of the South be disfranchised the
Democracy will assert the majesty of the
people, and their love of Constitutional
Liberty, by election of their candidates to
the various offices of the General Govern
ment. This the Radicals will never per-
nit; If they should, in order 10 render
such obstacle to their despotism powerless,
they have in anticipation of such an event
consented, 1--WE cannot term their orders
44cts,) to an agreement by which the Presi-
dent may be Invested Of powcr-hold in
arrest-thereby securing their only end,
POWER. Democratic members Of Congress
will not be permitted to perform the func-
tions of office,-their election will be con-
tested, and they will return to their con-
stituency insulted and scorned.
No man VIII O has reflected on the past
course of the Radical party, and who know
the human heart, depraved and ambitious,
can doubt, that the radicals, alarmed at
Democratic gains, will not permit even
those registered to vote in the Fall elections
unless they pledge support to those traitors
to plighted faith, vandals to civilization,
enemies of humanity, foul, designing ac-
completes and instigators to murder and
revolution. In either event, the result
must be the same-Radical Rule. How
will this affect the General Governme mt
and its destiny?
The loud roar of Democracy warns that
the nation-quaking shock of revolution is
imminent-the people of the North, the Ia
boring class, that true and onlr wealth of
nations cry aloud in their agony from tax,
that the national debt must be repudiated-
the lovers of their race, the natural men Of
America, proclaim that the negro must be
deprived of suffrage, the States of the South
restored in their pristine honor to the I'm
ion, or their must be revolution. Then Ell
Their Convention or no Convention will
produce the came effect as to the condition
Of the whites OF the Souih,-disfranchise
ment Of political rights and immunities,
the deprivation of the right 10 employ
capital and talent in many vocations,-no-
gro supremacy and Radical rule. Posses
sion Of power for longer term than next
March by the revolutionary junto, would,
by the already eIasperated and groaning
North, BY all the instincts of honor, hu-
mainly, love o. freedom and justice be not
only considered just cause for revolution,
but that revolution was necessary TO &c
complish the ends for which ali govern
menis are established, security Oflife, limb
