The Profoundest Speech Of the Age.

! Alta recent meeting in New Granada,
South America, gentleman, sometime
resident in the United States, expressed
the hope that the adoption Of American
institutions would place Colombia on a
level with the Great Republic Of North
America. He was himself summarily lev
elled BY the following speech from a fully
reconstructed Colombian. Wequote from
the Panama Star:
Mr.. PREsIDENT-In proposing that we
should adopt North American institutions
in order that we may rank amongst the
most civilized nations OF the world, our
friend is merely repeating yulgarism
against which do most solemnly protest.
Weare represented as an fancivilized peo-
pie; but, sir, if to do what the Americans
have done. is to be civilized, then we are
civilized, if to have done it before them
is to be ahead Of them, then we are at the
head Of civilization. For what do the
Americans boast Of They have but re-.
Gently abolished slavery; we have abolished
slavery very long ago. They have just pro-
claimed the equality Of races. and are try
ing to hold up the negro; we have proclaim
ed that equality, and held up the negro
long ago. They have only finished their
first civil war, rendered money scarce and
made a paper dollar not worth q dollar,
We have had dozens of civil wars; have
rendered money scarce, and made paper
dollars not worth dollar long ago. They
are beginning to tear up their Constitu-
ton impeach their President, set up dicta-
tors; we have done all that long ago. They
are at last going te the devilas fast as they
can; we have gone to the devil long ago.

these rnmors have proved too true and
that Lynch Law has been resorted to

the affidavits of certain parties show,
that Dorinda Huffman, F. VIC, and
her son, Moses Huffman, F. NJ. c., and

The Niger Constitution.

We published, a few numbers back,
the protest and objections of Judge
Cooley and others, against the Consti-.
tuition, which will be submitted to the
people on The 18th and 18th inst.
The following reasons given by two
members Of the, same Convention are
knock down arguments against it. 1t
is very remarkable that the few, very
few, who have any ability as lawyers
or any previous standing as gentlemen,
have protested in strong terms against
this infamous affair. No white man
but contemplate sneak and Office
seeker pretends to approve the Con-
stitution:
The following are the reasons given
by Messrs. Ludeling and Barrett:
The undersigned, members of the
Constitutional Convention Of the State
of Louisiana, respectfully submit the
following as some Of the reasons which
impel them to refuse to sign the Con-
stitntion which the Convention has
framed:
list. Because, in the Bill Of Rights,
social equality is attempted to be en-
forced, and the right Of citizens to con-
ltrol their own property is attempted to
he taken from them for the benefit of
the colored race. e
Cd. Because a judicial system has
been adopted which is radically defec-
Tive, which renders uncertain and in
secure the rights to property and the
liberties of the people.
| Sd. Because the proposed Constitu-
ton DISTINGUISHES large, influential
and intelligent class Of citizens of the
State. This is impolitic, dangerous
and unjust, and is opposed to Republi-
can principles.
| 4th. Because system ofpublic edu
cation forced upon the3peoh Ne, whereby
whites, who are to support the schools
by taxes levied on their property, will
be practically debarred of the advanta-
ges of the public schools. Mixed
schools will not elevate the negroes,
but will sdebase the whites. Another
effect of this system will be the neglect
of the education of the colored chill
dren.
5th. The oath Of office is Inconsistent
with the DISTINGUISHING clause Of the
Constitution. and is absurd. +
/ 9th. The direct tendency of the Con-
stitution as whole, is to establish ne
gro Supremacy in the State.
] The undersigned believe that the
!, adoption Of the Constitution will drive
many citizens from and will prevent
emigration to the State, retard her pro-
gress, destroy here Iinternal improve.
ments and blight her prosperity.
/ They, therefore, respectfully ask that
these reasons may be entered upon the
! journal of the Convention.
