Hon. John w. Jewell was the first speak
er In the constitutional convention at Jack
SON yesterday. He said In part that be had
no fear for the future of the white race Of
Mississippi, as the history OF the world fur
nished abundant evidence that the Anglo
Saxon was able to take care of himself
The poll-tax system, he predicted, would
alsfranchise more white men than negroes.
The poor white men would not pay 1t, aud
the poor colored men would pay it with
means furnished by the republican cam
paign funds, es was the case In Virginia.
The speaker then essayed to combat what
he called SHE prejudice OF education" out
of which came eli the ssntimentality that
consigned women to "her sphere" aud re-
legated her to the level OF slave. Inc O., Wo-
men, be said, could not be kept down: They

IL EVEN In countries In which the priVi-
leae OF suffrage Is restricted, the quality CT
bichness has always been eliminated from
the politics thereof, how could 1t be possible
that similar fate should not befali those
of one in which no restriction is imposed on
the privilege referred to? That such a con-
dition has been reached In this country is,
and long has been, plain to the most casual
observer of Its dominant politics. The re-
publican party, instead Of having for its 90
;eots the restoration of the Union in fact as
we'll as in words, the safety and prosperity
of all the PEOPLE of all the States, and the
honor and dignity of the country at home
and respect for it abroad, is actuated Dy
blind and malignant hate for, and coDse'
ouen,ly desire to IL jure, the people OF the
south-the section upon which the whole
country depends for its exports, and there
fore for the preservation of it's balance
of trade and it's rate of exchange; by rapa-
cious greed for the little the South has lelt'
in order to profit. not this people, but The
nen If the North, aud by an overweening
reckless and disgraceful lust for the los'
honors but increased emoluments OF puollt
oflice. Ii does not require the long vision
of second sight to see the end OF all this.
