to-day by the election OF McWhorter.
former Speaker. This is Bullock
triumph. Five Democrats voted for
McWhorter. and five threw their votes
away. 1t is said if the Democrats had
voted tor Bryant, enough Republicans
would have gone for him to secure his
election. Before organization, the Clerk
read an ortlor from Gen. Terry declaring
three members ineligible aud ordering
the Clerk not to allow them to take art
i'm the proceedings.
The eXcursionists arrived here at five
o'clock this afternoon, and were received
at the depot by the Mayor of the city, to
which the President of the Chamber of
Commerce of Louisville, made an APP
propriate response, The excursionists
then, preceded by a band of music, re-
paired to the National Hotel and partook
of magnificent banquet, given by the
City Council. Chief Justice Brown well
coined the guests in a brief but eloquent
speech. Mr.. Egglcston, of Cincinnati,
Mr.. Armstrong, of Louisville. and others
responded. The sentiments of each
speaker were enthusiastically applauded.
The affair was highly creditablc to At
anita. The excursion leaves for Macon

is sad commentary upon our system
of education, that some of the most
brilliant intellects that have doomed
out i'm American history, linked them
selves with infamy, and went into
their tombs,
s'Unwept, unhonored and unsung."
While it is deplored that the "b0dy
has become the minds sepulchre" in
the case of Moore, it is sadly to be re-
GREETED, that the genius of Prentice,
that might have wove such sunshine
through the warp of life, and like the
gifted bard he eulogises, have "muffied
the footsteps of time with roses,n
should have become poisoned and pre-.
maturely decayed by the corruption
and rancor Of party spirit.
When the hour-glass shall have run
its sands with him, and all have passed
from life but the fame his biography
records, the spirit of the bard will still
live, and his political character be in
TERED with his bones ;-or if renem-
bered, it will only be as the worm that
has blasted the rose, or an evil cloud
that has obscured the brilliancy and
beauty of one of the brightest stars that
ever arose i'm the armament of Ameri-
can literature.

Vance Th0mps0n's Speech.

The all important question of the
franchise has been under discussion
i'm the Constitutional Convention for
several days past, some favoring the
adoption of the majority report, and
Others preferring the foolish and sui
cidal policy dictated by the minority.
1t is gratifying to know that the ablest
and best men in the Convention have
spoken for impartial suffrage-sGch
men as A. o. NICHOLSON and NELL
S. BROWN. The former gentleman
made the greatest speech of the
occasion yesterday evening, which we
expect to- lay before our readers next
week. The following seems to be but
a synopsis and imperfect report of
Maj. VANCE THoMPsoN's speech:
Mr.. Thompson. of Maury, claimed
that but one gentleman had presented
the question properly, Mr.. Turner, of
Sumner. He claimed that he did not
come here to give the negro the right to
vote. The negro had exercised that
right for three or four years. What he
came here for was TO bring up the Con-
federate soldier to occupy the same place
with the negro. He was here white
man I'm favor of white mans govern
ment. He believed i'm the superiority of
the Anglo Saxon race. He did not think
there was any danger i'm 10000 voters
overcoming 100000. Ifit was an origi-
nal proposition upon which he was call
ed to decide. he would as soon give the
right to vote to balloon as to the negro.
He had done all he could to perpetuate
the institution of slavery. He had OWL
ed them, had received them from his
ancestors. considered slavery one of the
greatest blessings OF the country. But
Uncle Sam c:me along and took his ne
groes, and his horses, mules. corn, hay
AMI other chattels, and he had long since
charged them to profit and loss. He was
not afraid of 10000 negroes i'm the State
as balanced against 100000 white. What
his people wantrd was to get rid of this
eternal question of the negro. They
wanted it settled forever. He was OPP
posed TO separating this question and
submitting it TO a distinct vote of the
people. He saw no use in excitement
Let the entire Constitution be referred
to the people, and they would take it as
most Christians expect to get to Heaven
ON faith. Ii it was right nnder a for
MGR Constitution to allow few negroes
to vote, was it wrong now TO let them
all vote. that they were free? But this
was not the question: it was. would they
put the ballot in the hands of the Con-
felerate soldier--the negro had the right
to vote already? Would they refer this
question to a separate vote of the people
and pave the way to 4 war of races !
God forbid this calamity. He was no
advocate for negro equality. lie stood
up firmly for the superiority of the
white race.
