Mecklenburg.

We publish this morning the proceedings
of the public meeting held on the odd in
slant at Boydton, Mecklenburg county, on
the questions of the day. We are gratited
to see that among the resolves of the people
of Mccklenburg is one to vote against the
Objectionable clauses OF the constitution and
to sustain the WALKER ticket. This is wise.
It would have been also wise to have de-
clared in favor of the cXpurgated consti-
tuition; but that is 4 matter that they have
much time to reflect upon before the day OF
election.
We most deeply sympathise with our fell
low-citizens of Mecklenburg. 4 more re-
is not to be found on this earth. Their fears
are natural, and not at all surprising. They
suddenly find IN uneducated race-thclr
late slaves-outnlmbering them two or
three to one--elevated to the position OF
voters That they should feel n sense of
horror as well as painful apprehension at
this, so far from being matter Of astonlSll-
ment. Is so reasonable that were they not
felt even abolitionists themselves would
be amazed. None but Il ribald wretch
could deride the Sensibilities of such 4 peo-
pie under such circumstances.
But we beg them to deliberate upon the
state in which we all find ourselves. Can
anything be achieved by convention? As.
suredly not. Can we possibly have 4 vote
on the county organizations separately
BY no means. Then let them, as well as
everybody else in Virginia, examine the
situation calmly. The "county organiZa-
tons" clause of the constitution is not SO
bad but that its evils may be made in great
degree nugatory. What we want is good
Legislature and good conservative EXecu.
tive. These will administer the government
for the best interests of the whole commu.
nifty, and save us from q vast deal of trouble
which might reasonably be feared from the
UNDERWOOD constitution. As good con.
stitution and wise laws, under corrupt
and unprincipled administration, might be
made mtolerable, so a defective organi,
law may be so administered by wise anC
patriotic Executive as to promote the gene
raj welfare and the contentment of the PEG
pie.
Be not discouraged and fearful. The pro
mise is bright. 1t only rests with the PEG
pie. They can triumph if they will. Itwa!
altogether in their power in '67 to take thu
convention under their control. Yet, 90, 0Ol
registered voters staid from the polls ant
surrendered the convention to ignorance
ana proscriptiveness. Should there be agai,
the apathy and listlessness then displayed
we "ill have to pass through the extremes
functions s, and perils for period the DUR,
non oil which we cannot anticipate. Let ON
, n.n', =, Of Mecklenburg Join tn,
whole State in united and vigorous etyort
ana let The whole State join Tccl1enhMr',
and the victory will be Won aud WV
VIII be saved from utter humiliation am'
ruin. "'''
AS sure IS there lisa wise Providence ovo,
ruling our destiny this may be done. am
we shall find the noble interests of the Stat
guided by the intelligence, virtue, and expe
rlence of her people, and in few wears har
mony and prosperity and good government
restored to society and the State.

SCRATCH HARRIs.-A perplexed WELLS
man recently complained bitterly that men
who had declared that there was no dliler-
ence between WELLS and WALKER should
now 90 over to WALKER. The CONSERVATIVE
to whom he addressed the complaint replied
that they could not take for Governor man
associated with negro for Lieutenant
Governor. ooh, pshaw," said he, "thats
"nothing. Scratch HARRIS. He can't De
collected Lieutcnant-Governor. We are all
"going to scratch him!" So let HARRIS
slide. He'll do for decoy duck for the
poor blacks, but he is never to realize any
thing beyond the honor of the nomtno'o"

colored people will execrate their deceiVers'

4 FAcT.-A Loudoun county letter i'll the
Alexandria Gazette says truly:
Negro domination may prevail in some coun-
ties for awhile but even under our present orEahl-
cation that same class could elect all the officers
from sheriff to ovcrSecr of the poor, and they can
only do 1t under the new order Of things
Those who are most deeply interested in
the subject, and most dread the negro do
mination said to be involved in the seventh
article of the new constitution, forget that
the negroes would have the same majority
in the SouthSide counties under any consti-
tuition. If any man supposes at this day
that we could frame 4 constitution, or that
Congress would accept Il constitution, I'M
der which the people were deprived Of the
right of electing county officers, he is en-
tirely mistaken. Negroes will not he de-
prived of this privilege simply because they
arc negroes; and no other reason could be
given to Congress for desiring to have nc
county officers elected by the people.

The Little Game"

Governor WELLs's perpleXities are great.
He is as much troubled rs a hen with Il
brood of young ducks. They will not keep
around it in despair. The Governor differs
from the hen in this, however that whereas
the hen fears her ducklings will perish,
WELLS knows that the poor deluded ones
he is tlattering are in their true element
when they are uttering the rancorous and
proscriptiye feelings which he and others
have kindled i'll their minds. But, then.
WELLS fears that while he is processing to
be in favor Of restoring to the whites the
right to hold office and to vote, the conduct
of his followers may damage him with the
whites! There is his perpleXity. So he
has been endeavoring not so much to make
them follow him as to be quiet. Don't make
Il fuss on this point, says he. I'll take my
course, and you yours; but don't publish
an address-don't let the world know your
opinion on this point, but cote 1t. That is
exactly what the cunning Governor attempts
to accomplish without unnecessary parade
and noise. 1t is a sort of burglary that he
has on hand. A poisoned sausage must be
given to the watchdog, and the thieves must
tread as lightly as the cat, for fear Of waking
those who are about to be despoiled. Quiet,
for Heavens sake, comrades, he eXclaimS to
the blacks, and we can easily get possession
of the eXchequer and divide it amongst us
