[From the New York Herald, November ll.] Constitution Making in thc Soutli?Nig ger Rule and Nigger Ruiu. By the procodings of the Alabama Con vention the nation may see the results of Radical rule-first, to drive from the govern ing councils of a community ail learning, all discretion, all regard for Ute stability of soci ety, ail qualities that mea respect ; and, sec ond, to replace these qu-dities by ignorance, savagery and the most intense spirit of re venge. An assembly to mike a State con stitution is comp seel of men uaknjwn to the people ofthat State, or whore known " known t> bu men of indifferent character.*' I's prom tn -nt vvhiLi men are political adventurers, who v,-..-re the se tm of Northern politics, and Couimondel themselves to tagger ve'ers by the ex'.-a vaga:; ce with which lucy expressed hatreds wit? whfch thc uk'ger f-lt an active sympaihy. ii some degree the Conven ioa is m ide up of that class whose priucipal qualification is that it has always been under tue white man's foot, and b.ea content with the place; who-e qualification for la?' tnakii.g is its former sla very, because it is suppled that slavery has filled it with a bitterness that it will put into lh? law. Here are Con-stituti -II makers who not only caum.t write their lia ne-, but canuot always tt-11 what their uames ure. Mose*, possessed of a'! the loaming tif the Egpptians, and divinely inspired, made a Constitution for his peuple, and why should not Sambo m .?kc a Constitution when he gets u chance'?? Plato was a Constitution maker also ; nations of antiquity s.-tu their delegates a year's jour ney to dave their Constitutions shaped by U.e wis lom of ?ho Stagyrit*>; Meru:, Su. >n, Lycur gu-; were Constitution rankers; Ko-nc, before tau time of the Twel.e Tab ts, feeling the noe-issity for a Constitution, .-em wise men ?ufo all the ci.ies?.f Greece ?ostudy the lorin of government and frame her law ; all the barons of ii: g und became constitution makers ia another a?e ; ard now al! :Le ni-.'gers o! Ala" ama are to give the Mt! j ct their lofty (smsioYralion. Madison, llmuhon, J. if MOP, Jay were eons ititt"';:' makf r , and th.? y have tb?-ir Nticcess t i. . Sambo, Cuff ? and Pomp ve the narr.'.s iht?t our age adds to the illus nidus list that, beginning with So'on, comes d >w i to Story. Constitution malters were the wis st m.-ii 0 u nation, and now they arc the ii on ?hose learning consta s in the abi ?iv in distinguish between pork aud po-tum. Happy age ! 'J':-e dtrecti *n and tendency of ?his Alaba m i Convenu m are obvious. Its first move is 10 got ibo State Government imo other hands th in luo*e that now hold K. This me'i-ure n ceiTfeS the support of '' t?.e negroes and the cxtr. me members."' Another proposition is tj gj behi.id the record of courts in cases of alk-g<?d c:ime and pursue some private feuds in oublie law. UJC more measure is supported by very 11 violent speeches.'' This is a measure of wLoL'sale prascipjtiun and disfranchisement, und tho Convention has determined, by a vote of sixty-three tu twenty-two, that it will have some such measure and will not leave disfran chisement where i*. was left by thu military bill. Tho Convention will carry Radicalism further than CcngreS? dared. Proscription is the word. Let tho people understand this and tho result it must have. Remember that i:< France, when the great revolution wa9 made?the men who made it knew where it should stop, and desired to stop it there. All tho patriots would have preserved order when they had secured guarantees of public liberty, but thu did not satisfy the 'actions. The Sumners and Wendell Phillipscs of that time urged cn ignoratice, brutality end barbarise, atd the revolution became a war of classes and a slaughter. This is the course marked out for us. The American people sro satis fied with the results of the war, and w'sh to see order established on the basis laid down iu the constitutional amendment. But this wise limit is not enough for the fanatics who have given power to the nigger, and hence these latter are urged forward and raise the cry of proscription. Will the people permit this, or will they save the revolution by the imperative demand that this nigger carnival shall come to an ead? Congress, radical as it was, dared only go a certain dis tance in its pursuit of vengeance for fear of thc people. Bu: it delegated its powers to the niggers, and they are relied upon to go fur ther. This is the plan that has put the law making power of the South iuto the hands of a mee that, in it- n itive land, never met in Con vention for any other purpose but to roast and eat itser.emies. There is butoneremcdy against thc evil inherent in this plan, and that is the immediate repeal, as soon as Congress comes together, of the infamous laws under which those SoUtLcrn Conventions arc to mee., sad upon which the one in Alabama is now acting. RETURN OK TUB WANDERERS_The parti colored bridal party, whose bliss was sudden ly nipped in the bud by their arrest in Wil mington, arrived i:i this city yesterday. The woman was apparently indifferent, but her sooty companion seemed to think it au excel lent joke. Officer Gray, of thc Detective force, wencto Wilmington for the lovers, and brought them and their plunder back to their old home. From the quantity of baggage the pair had taken, it was evidently their in tention to forsake the Sunny South and visit some clime where miscegenation was tolerated. All or most of the property has been recov ered, and tue guilty parties only await the action of the injured husband. The Wilmington papers give a detailed ac count of their arrest in that city, and describe the woman as fine looking, but desperately euamored of her swarthy Lothario. It ?3 the first instance cf the kind, we believe, that has occurred in this city, and the best punishment th: t could be inflicted would be to compel the rauaways to marry.-Charleston Neus, loth. TUE COTTON TAX.-The Euiaula Xeics learns from a prominent fellow-citizen, Col. E. S. Shorter, who hasbecu incsrrespondence wi;h Senator Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, iu reference to repealing ehe tax on our great Southern s'aple, that he has received letter.! from the Sjuator, and also from Mr. Colfax, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, announcing themselves in favor of a prompt repeal of : he tax of two and a half cents per pjund on cotton, and making the repealiug law retroacting in it? operations, so it will go back to tho first of last September. A PBAIRIK FIRE.-The Cincinnati Times, of the Sth, says : We learn that as the train on thc 0. & M. Railroad was approaching Vincennes, Ind., from the west, it was discovered that the prairie west of the Wabash river, in Lawrence c junty, Ll., was on fire-the whole country, for twenty-five miles being completely envel oped in flames. Houses, barns, fences, ?c., were being consumed, and it is highly proba ble that uot all thc people living tn the vicin ity escaped. At one point the train rau through a body of fire, but with such swiftness that the cars, and all inside, escaped uninjur ed. The trestle work over the Wabash bot tom, five miles west of Vincennes, which is nearly of a milo lon;;, was enveloped in flames, so that the passengers and baggage were transfered to 'he side, and thc Western train returned to this city. THE EMIGRANTS TO LIBERIA.-A number of freedmen, with their families, who hnve made arrangements to sail in the Golconda, have already arrived here. The larger nu m ber came from Georgia. We learn from the Agent, Mr. Coppinger, that the Golconda, ou her arrival, will not come up to the wharf, but will drop anchor and receive her passen gers in the roads. This course has been adopted for the purpose of expediting the ves sol. The Columbus (Ga.) Inquirer, of the 12th instant, says : Quite a crowd of negroes weat ofl'lrom this city by yesterday's Macon train, bound for Charleston and thence to Liberia. They were collected hy tho beating of a drum, aud ap peared to bo about two hundred in number. VVe understand that many mo.e want togo, bat have to wait for the next vessel. Our other Georgia exchanges also chroni cle the passage through tho towns of parties of freedmen bound to Charlestou for Libera. M st. of these have been induced to emigrate from the glowing accounts sent home by their j t friend? who had preceded them-Charleston i Courier. 11 Washington News. WASUINGTOX, November 1G. Stevens is quote 1 ns saying : We must take io steps backward. Th? reconstruction of he Southern States, on the basis of the rnili arv biil, must be hurried up. so that as many ,s possible of them may bo represented in ,he coming Presidential nominating co'nvon 'oa. Thc Republican party would assuredly dect their nominee tn ihe next Presidential tontest, and there was no need to run after or : ?ax auy man iuto accepting their nomina ;ion. In loss than three years they could ro :.)ver the Northern State?) and \v;th tho Fed i.-ul patronage, the loyal white clement of .tie South would always carry the negro pop liatlon with th^m, and thus give the party a lease of power for thc next fifty yea i's. Gene ral Sickles is mustered out, but retains ? e .a ik of colonel in th-; regular army. Senator Wilson, in a letter to a North Carolina negro, dated November 8;h, says : L caine hume from the S uth with thc convic tion that tho colton tax ought to be repealed, and that it ought to apply to the crop of this year, and I am confirmed in this conviction by all 1 hear from y our section. I hope Con gress will at once repeal the cotton tax. Prom the views of members of Congress who have been here recently, and others now in the city, it appears that there is a ?trong p obabiii'y tba-- the tax on cotton will be re pealed shortly ulcer Congress convenes. Thc pressure in favor of this repeal in all direc tions oi the North from influential cuzens is almost irresistible. Prom tho same source it is learned that there is also & powerful influence in favor ol a general funding scheme covering the whole ::a iona! debt, thus extending tho time of piyincm of our liabilities, and in thc mean time providing for its gradual liquidation by a judicious system of taxation. it is e .hfidoutly asserted that the Commit tee on thc Kentucky elections will report un favorably against all the Kentucky Represen tali ves, rxccpVK-n'ott. This will'leave Ken tucky with b.u two representatives-Knott a-.d Adams. Tue la'ter was admitted pre viously, on pr. s.'iitati >o of his credentials. J'rom ltaltimore. BALTIMORE, November 14.

Alabama Radical Negro Convention. MONTGOMERY, Nov. 14, p. m. A caucus of Radical majority ol the Re :onstructiou Convention last night decided ,o send a special messenger to Y-'.ishington 0 ascertain from leading Republicans how ar Corgress will permit the Convention to ^o on the question of disfranchising rebels; ind, to day the Convention, by a vote of ob :o 24, postponed further action on the fran chise question until Monday next. A resolution was adopted instructing the groper committee lo inquire into thc cxped; incy of requiring former owners to pay the jlacks '.varies foi their services from the date if the emancipation proclamation to May ?Otb, 18J5. Au Ordinance was introduce! ai:d referred, [iroposi'ig to confiscate a par?, of the Selma Mid Meridian Railroad, which was construct ed by the Confederate Government in aid of 1 he rebellion, the prcceeds of it to go into m cducationul fuud. An O.dinance was introducid and referred to abolish the State poll tax. MONTGOMERY, Nov. 1G. In the Reconstruction Convention, a re?o lution was adopted by 57 to 33, instructing the proper committee to change thc names of all new counties created at the last session of the Legislature that weic named in glori fication of the rebellion or after those who participated in it. Afterwards an ordinance to change the name, of Colbert county to Brownlow was tabled-yeas, 7G nays, 12. Committees on several parts of thc consti tution reported officers of the Executive De partment to con.-i-8 of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor and Treasurer ; Auditor to hold four and other officers two years-air to be elected by the people. The Governor only has been elected by the popular vote heretofore. GEN. POPE VISITS THE CONVENTION.-Thc Montgomery M ?il, of the b'th, says : " Major General John Pope, ihe gentleman who tele graphed to Washington ju^t before the second Bull Run that he had succeeded in getting between Stonewall Jackson and the rest of General Lee's army, visited his menagerie at the Capitol yesterday. Thc black monkeys grinned, tho Yankee hyenas smiled, and Mingham brayed. The distinguished van quisher of the Injuns was invited to the speaker's stand, and proceeded to orate. The only important thing he said was that he hoped that they would continue thc pluck and wisdom with which they conducted the recent political campaign. This was equiva lent to saying that (hey must kee}) the lash over the ebony members of the convention, and send the Soargcant at-Arma to wake them up when it was time to vote. After ihe gallant captor of 10,OuO rebels at Corinth finished shooting his mouth off, he deposited his headquarters in a chair. Tho asse? brayed again, the hyenas grinned, and the niggers all went to sleep. In the words of Busteed-"God save the Republic!" And from the Montgomery Mail we cull thc t^o arucxed paragraphs in iclation to the proceedings of thc Convention : "COME TO THIS BOSOM, MY OWN STRICKEN DEAR."-A negro barber in the Piebald Con vention moved yesterday that a portion of the gallery be set aside for " de ladies." We shall expect to see to-day thc councils of thc State inspired by the presenco of a bevy of ilainsel-. from Afc's sunny clime. Love rutea the court, the c-imp, thc grove ! When Griffin, Bingham and Keffer speak henceforth, we shall see r>.-es showered from the galle ries, and tho chamber infused with "Sabean xlors Irom the spicy arms of Africa, the j!?-sf," and when the ebony barber rises to ?ive his views upon questions of Ethnology ind Political Economy, we shall bear shrieks rom fair lips, and that blessed African chorus -"Pm a gwinc to Hubbin a' relin and a' ockin." How inspiring it will be for Judge Peck or Major Semplo to feel that their clo |Uencc is being taugled in the locks of fair vornan. In the words of tho renowned Bus eed : " God save the Republic." NEGROPHOBIA.-The piebald concern at he Capitol is fast on tho road toward miscege lation. At the organization, when the elec ion for doorkeeper crae up, three candidates were announced, a white man of Montgomery named Wagnon, a poor, old, debilitated man with a large family; another while man of North Alabama named Manning, a cripple, and a slick, fat, able-bodied negro of Mont gomery named Craig, who keeps a drinking shop for dissipated negroes. The Conven tion elected Craig. In ibu words of TJustced -'. God sa7e the Republic!"' THE ADVERTISER ? JAMES T. BACON, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 18C7. Our Club Rates.

On Thursday next, the 21st inst., tho so-called Congress will meet at Washington in adjourned session; and on the 2nd of December following, in regular session. Time bas boen when wo looked with respectful interest for the news from Wash ington. The best and most intellectual men of the country used to ba sent to Congress, and wc were in tho habit of reading their speeches w'tha kind of veneration. But not so now; far from it! Congress now-a-days is an illegal body, and the places formerly occupied by decen:, honorable and respectable men arc now filled, for tho most part, by those who make no attempt to rostrain their passions and prejudices, and nono to bide their brazen di: honesty But jet, during thc coming session, tho eyes of tho country will be fixed upon these men with moro iii ordinary intensity. How will thoy begin? What will they do with that body of death, thc ncgro-suffragc question ? Will they declare thc new Constitution of Maryland no< re publican because it rejects negro suffrage ? Will they admit thc Senator from Maryland? Will they admit thc Represen titives of Kentucky? Will they force Stanton back inti the War Department ? Will they begin to put Stevens, Sumner, Butler, Wilson, and Co. gently acido? Will they go on in tho'r headlong course, or will they attempt compromises with the South ? In short, will they heed or will they disregard thc popular intelli gence which bas so lately, through diminished majorities, rebuked and warned them ? If not and that very quickly, and very practically,, and very fruitfully-this samo popular intelligence will, another year, assume a sterner mien and scourge them forever from the places of authori ty which they bavo io long dishonored and dis graced.

This is tho title of a pamphlet, so remakablo, as to its roasoniogs, it ; authorities, its doductions, its research, as to bo absolutely startling. Its main points arc these: Is the negro the progeny of Ham? Is ho a descendant of Adam and Eve? Hu ho a soul ? Or is ho a beast in God's nomen clature? What is bis status us fixed by God in croation? What is his relation to the white race? For this pamphlet weare indobted to tho po liteness of our much esteemed friend Mr. BAIIO.N HOLMES, of Ibo famous " Holmes Book House" in Charleston.

Thc grand chorus which is being shoutci ont iu tho North and West in behalf of popular lib erty and % white man's government ! Last week we alluded briefly to the result of tho lalo elec tions in thoso sections of tho Union ; this ?eek wo again tuko up thc plea?aut tbeuic. This grand chorus was raised by Connecticut in March last, when English, tho Democrat, beat Hawley, the Radical, by a majority of 800; early thia foll, it was taken up by California, Vermont and Maine; later, by Ohio and Pennsylvania ; and now, Now York, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kunsas swell the volume until its echoes resound from the Lakes to tho Gulf-from Maine to Mexico; confirming the general fact that at last Radicalism bas found its limits, that the lido of folly has ceased its Hood, that the ebb has begun-that ebb which is to sweep tho Republican party backwards into thc deep sea of annihilation. And all this, truly, should give hopo and encouragement to overyemo who wishes well for his country. No attempts which tho Republicans may make to explaia away their late significant and forebod ing defeats can bo of any avail. They ht.ve aol been beaten by any lack of effort to ward off thc blow, for never did they conduct campaigns witt greater spirit, energy and perseverado-:, or with ti more lavish expenditure of inonoy. No, the) huvc been beaten because they hare governed toe much and too perfidiously. The passions of ttl las: six years arc rapidly dying out by tho er huustion of their fuel; and tho people of th? North and West are becoming he.mily sick one tired of this wretched tale of protection to Fretd men while the constitutional rights of Freemen o their own ruco ure being ruthlessly tramplet under fooL The Republican party, whether fo good cr for evil, has well nigh accomplished it mission. It must die with tho issues which gan it birth and have kept it in power. And th tweivo months which intervene between now am tbc Presiden tia] election will witness tho dedin and fall of a party which has done moro inischiel shod moro blood, squandered more treasure kindled moro diabolical passions, and inflicti-i deeper wounds on constitutional government, thai any other political party that ever existed in tb world.

It is certainly not the least striking characrei is tic of this agc of fearless logic that the qucstio of Woman-Suffrage should bnve acquired sue prominence ; nor aro wo nt all surprised that, en couragod by such a man as John Stuart Mill-t say nothing of less distinguished advocates o this side tho water-?tho Mrs. Cady Stantons, th Lucy Stones, the Abby Kellys, the Susan Anthe ny?, thc Anna Dickinsons, and all the other mal and female advocates of equal rights, should hav pushed on their efforts with such renewed an dogged determination. But this question of Woman-Suffrage has late! received a quietus; if not permanently, at lea? for a long time. Kansas and Minnesota, in wliic Slates the question has lately been before th people at thc polls, bavo roted it down. Thos States have said that nogroc? shall not roto, an that women shall not vote. And as for Souther women, wc well know that they will be no les gratified at thu ono verdict thaa at tho other. I i3 an old saying at the Souih-especially arnon, aegrocs-and one worthy of all acceptation-tha a ben that crows must be immediately killed." And thc question, to bc sure, will be advocate in tho future with still greator por?iatency, bu ;e question whether with grenier success.

Tho Publish ers of this nblo and excellont puper have just issued their prospectus for 1863, from which we extract as follows : The New York Day-Book is a straightforward,. Radical Democratic j.aper, with a larger circula tion than any other Democratic journal ev:r pub lished on this Continent, and it enters on tho threshold of 1368 more prosperous, nnd mOre hope ful of the great cause it upholds than ever before. Standing on thc foundation of the Declaration of Independence, that "all (\chite) meu are created equal," and therefore entitled to equal rights, it is opposed to all forms and. degrees of spocial legislation that conflict with this grand central THOTH of Democracy, and over all, and above all, does it combat that monstrous treason to American liberty, which, thrusting tho negro element into our political system, MUST OF NECESSITY wreck tho whole mighty fu bric left us by our lathers. Qod bas created white men superior and negroes inforior, and therefore all tho offort? of thc past six years to ABOLISH His work and'equalize with negroes-every law violated, every Stato Constitution overthrown, every lifo sacrifi?d, and every dollar expended, aro NECESSARILY just so many steps towards national suicide: aod tho simple and awful problem now upon us is just this-shall wc recover our roason and rotraco our steps, or march on to Mongrelism, social anarchy, and the total ruin of our country. The Day-Book, therefore, demands tho restora tion of tho " Union ns it was"-A UNION OF CO EQUAL STATES CPON THE WHITE BASIS as tho only hopo, and thc only means possible under beaven for saving the grand ideas of 1776, and the fun damental principles of American liberty, and if tho real friends of freedom, and tho earnest ho norers in that sacred and glorious cause in which tho men of the Revolution offered up their live., will now labor to cxposo tho ignorance, delusion and treason of the Mongrol party, rr WILL SUC CEED, and the wbito Republic of Washington be restored again in all its original beneficence and grandeur. The Day-Book will, howevor, hereafter be moro than ever devoted to all the varied purposes of n newt paper. Conscious that it roaches thousands of fami'i's who take no other journal, beyond perhaps their local puper, it will continuo and improve its " Nows of tho Week" Summary, so as to present a transcript of the World's events in each issuo. Its "Family Department" will ombrace the best original and selected itorius. Its " Agricultural Department" will bo fully sus tained, and being the only paper of its clam made up expressly for Country circulation, it is conn? dent that it is worth double thc price of a weekly hurriedly reprinted from A daily. It gives full and complete Reports of tho New York and Al bany Cattle Markets ; Grain, Provision ar.d Cot ton Markets, and a Weekly Review of Financial Matters, together with the Markets', by Telegraph, from New Orleans, Chicago, Charlcton, Ac, ?tc., ap to time of going to press.

Q HORRIBLE DEATII.-For some days past workmen have been engaged in building n lew railroad bridge at Bridgeport, on ihe Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. Thc old bridge has been raised on trestle work, and if still used by trains, the new bridge being built directly under ibc old. The side railing has been taken oif the old bridge, and there is scarcely room for a man to stand on either side of thc track, while in soins places there ;s not an inch of roora. These work men were engngod at one end of the old bridge yesterday morning, at work, when a negro boy, employed by them, who was about the centre of the bridge, started on a hand car towards them. There being an incline of sev era! feet between the centre and end of the bridge, the boy found that he could not re strain the impetus of tho car, and shouted for the men to get out of thc way. Two of them were able to do so, standing on tip-toe, bare ly escaping being thrown off. The third man, however, named George Cloud, was at n point on the bridge where the traci was the only foot hold. He was unable to move and called to the boy to stop. It was too late. Thc ear rushed onward, knocking the unfor tunate man off thc bridge. Ile fell sixty feet, striking his bend and side against a rock. As I sis?ancc was rendered to Iii tn as soon ns pos II sible, by his comrades, and it was found that n he was still living, although terribly bruised. Cloud lived an hour and a half after his fall and then died in terrible agony-Chattanoo ga Union. ? -? -*- ?

A THIEF CAUGHT-In thc spring of 18G5, while the families of Ge: eral Wade Hampton and General John S. Preston, were refugees in this town, a large portion of the family plate and jewels were concealed in a retired spot, near tin village, to protect them from Sherman's M bummers." The " bummers"' did not come as was expected; but the con cealed valuables were stolen from their l iding place, and not until a few days ago, did the most vigilant searches avail anything towards a discovery of thei" whereabouts. On Saturday last, General Hampton re ceived a telegram from Knoxville, Tennessee, announcing the arrest of CUP Robert McLain, with some of the lost valuables in his posses sion ; and also a staloi.ient from McLain. where thc remaiuder might be found. On Tuesday evening a haul was made upon thc remaining articles, which were concealed in thc house of a brother, Alpheus McLean, about three miles from tins place. This prop erty is of a very valuable character, compris ing jewels and plate, that have an untold val ue lo the owners as family heir-looms. The actual value of ?bc articles recovered in Kno.\> ?Ile and here is probably about five or six thousand dollars. Very few of the article. are yet missing, and those of small value. McLain will probablybcreturned to this plac< for trial. Ho state?: that he found thc box containing ?he valuable, while out hunting, a few days after it was bidden; and having once appropriated it, he could not command coinage enough to return it to its lawful ow ners.
