leans, submitting, May 10, l845. a new
constitution.
The third convention met at Baton
Rouge, and submitted the third constitu-
ton July 81, 1852.
The fourth convention met at Baton
Rouge, Jan. %, 1861, but adjourned to
New Orleans, where, on Jan. 20, it adop

One Reuben +. Davis was Greenback
candidate for congress from Mississippi,
last fall, and was beaten by the candidate
who was supported by the Democrats,
Smarting under his defeat, reSentful, and,
like all other Mississippi politicians, en-
tirely INSCRIPTIONS, this man Davis appears
before the Potter committee and swears
that only inundated negroes voted for his
opponent; that fraud and violence prevailed
everywhere, and that white men who voted
against the Democratic party, were socially
ostracised, He had been burned in efigy,
himself, and was IN constant tear of aSSassi-
nation. This much Of the sQuelched Green
hackers testimony has been published by
Republican newspapers all over the country;
but not one word Of the following; That
although fraud and intimidation were gen
eral, he didn'tname a single case of either.
He had been burned in efiigy, but didn't
name single witness by whom he could
prove the fact He feared assassination,
but didn't pretend TO say that anything Of
the kind had ever been attempted; and he
failed to name a single individual who had
even heard him threatened. His opponent
secured the support Of negroes through in
timidation or violence; but he failed to
name a single negro who had
been intimidatcd or who had been
subjected 10 violence. And thus, when
placed in juxtaposition, the generalities of
Davis testimony are destroyed by the de.
tails. Upon such evidence as this, and
such as is drawn out of negroes who are so
dcnsely ignorant that they do not under
stand the nature of an oath, has the Repub-
lican party grounded its charges Of terrorism
in Mississippi. Reputable, intelligent
white men come forward and swear that
the election was quiet at the very polls
where defeated candidates and ignorant ne
grocs swear there were fraud and intimida-
ton. Republicans accept the testimony of
the vengetul white men and ignorant black
men, as gospel truth" but reject the testi-
mony of respectable and intelligent white
men, as false, and totally unworthy OF be
lief We do not pretend to say that there
have not been cases of intimidation and
violence in Mississippi. We believe that
negroes have been bull-dozed by Rcpub-
lican negroes as well as by white Demo
Gratis; but we insist that no evidence to
warrant such a conclusion has been drawn
out by the Republican side O the Potter
committee. All attempts in tlat direction,
thus far, have resulted in signal and dis
graceful failure.

Mr. Fort, of Illinois, wants congress to
devise means whereby the pursuits Of agri-
culture can be rendered seductive to the
idle millions of the Atlantic States; but
why this desire should be coupled with the
request that congress give ten thousand
dollars to two or three lazy loafers to be
called n committee, for thinking about the
matter, is not explained. And we can tell
Mr.. Fort that, if the hunger and threatened
starvation with which the "idle millions
are confronted, cannot drive them to agri-
cultural pursuits, all the attractions that
can be added by congress will amount to
nothing.

THERE are men, Cbut the editor of THE

will agree with the editor of the Centralia
Democrat, who says that if the fifty or
sixty members Of the present General AS
scmbly, who are galloping about over the
state under the pretense Of visiting the
state institutions, would devote the same
length of time to "spree' in Springfield,
there would be some sense in it. They
would, in that event. pay for their own
whisky, and would be guiltless OF the
attempt to humbug the people into the no.
ton that they are honestly inspecting our
prisons, schools and asylums. This is
rather rough on the assembled Honorables
of Illinois; but there can be little doubt
about it that the real condition and manner
Of managing our state institutions cannot
be ascertained by these stated visits. The
report of visiting commissioner who

these institutions unbidden, catching them
