PULASKI, TENN
FRIDAY MORNING, MAR 4. 10
Shall the People Ratify the New
Constitution.

To this interrogatory the Paris In
teIligencer promptly and emphaIical-
ly responds in the affirmative.
Negro suffrage. remarks that pa
per, is an accomplished fact at this
time. If it is ever abolished, it will
be after the people have enjoyed
reign of peace and repose. after a
subsidencs9f the present disturbed
elements. That day may never come.
The Fifteenth amendment being
adopted, sven though it has been done
by bayonets, renders the action of our
Convention Of no consequence upon
negro suffrage. 1t is a dead issueA
The practical question for Tennes-
seeans to consider is. had they better
ratiIy the ameded Constitution of
1870, which confers the right of suf-
frage upon all of the male citizens of
the State over 81 years, without re-
gard to color; or shall they reject this
Constitution and fall back - the
Constitution, not of 1884. but Or
which enfranchised only the annoinr-
ed few-Lhe truly loyal of the whites
and the entire negro voting Popula-
ton? That is the issue. Shall We,
the white men of Tennessee, accept
and ratify the white Constitution OF
1870, or vote against it and thereby
fall back upon the black Constitution
of 1865. which decreed the political
inferiority-nay slavery Of eighty
thousand white mer.
There is wisdom and patriotism in
gracefully yielding to inevitable re-
suits. The men who made this Co..
sti'ution did the very best they could
under all Of the circumstances. That
we may derlore the circumstances is
fact no old-fashioned Republican,
Democrat or Wing need deny; yet
they exist and must be met.
Nor is it wise to mouthe Or COM
plain or to attempt now to prevent
the ratification by the people, since
we should only fasten upon our necks
the calling yoke Of Radical proscrip-
ton and black domination from which
we may finally and triumPhautly
Emerge by the ratification.

We are sorry to notice, but not
surprised, that the Fayetteville OBJ
s.rver, published in Lincoln county
indorscs the course of Geo. w. Jones
in Withdrawing from the Constitu-
rional Convention. and in refusing 20
append his signature to its acts. In
this connection that paper says:
1.-The Convention is getting to be
considered a tai ure. The opinion
is spreading and gaining strength
every day, and if its members would,
hy one sweeping vote, annul it's
wholeactior, and then
Fold up their tents like the Arabs,
And Us silently 5 cal away,
they would make more character
than a Ion ger session would be likely
10 give them
Aud winds up by saying, what is
certainly not true, that 'from pres
ent indications. the question will
soon be, not whether the amended
Constitution will be adopted, but ty
how large a majority it shall be re-
jecred."
The Observer thus arrays itself
squarely against the adoption OF the
new Constitution, step which it has
been Influenced to take, and which,
We do not hesltats to say. twill much
regret, for that paper never takes a
position upon any question either u
local OF general interest, until it is
thoroughly convinced that it is on
the popular side, and We predict that
when the editor of that journal finds
out that he is mistaken in his conclu-
sions, (Which he certainly will be
shortly. that he will cease to be the
obsequious cringer to the old fogy-
ism of Geo. w Jones, and as grace
fully as possible fall into the "a Ks Of
the supporters Of tie Lew Constilu-
lion.
