Tho President?! Teto of the Arkansas Bill. WASHINGTON, Juno 20.-lu hi3 voto mes sage of tho Arkansas Admission bill, the Pref i lent says : Tbe approval of this bill would bean ad mission that the act for the more efficient gov ernment of tho rebel States, and acts supple mentary thereto, were proper and constitu tional : whereas, the President's opinion is un chanced in this respect, but rather strength ened by results attending their execution. If Arkansas is not a Siate. this bill does not ad mit lser ; if she is a State, no I gisUtion is necessary to Ler representation in Congress. Eich House, under the Constitution, judges the election returns and qualifications of its members, and nothing is neccs-arv to restore Arkansas but u decision by each House of the eligibility of those presenting credentials. Tins is a ??lam and simple plan of the Consti tution, had it been adopted in lo'uo instead of legislation ot" doubtful constitutionality, and therefore unwise and dangerous, restoration would long since have been accomplished. The President again recommends ?he adop tion of the Const!tutioual plan. The terms proposed are scarcely applicable to a Territo ry, and certainly not to a State which has had an accepted place in the Uui m for over a quarter ot'a century. Tue President is un able to ii.'id authority for the conditions of the b il in the Federal Constitution. Tho elective i'ranchise is reserved by the Constitution to the States themselves. The bill Jails to pro vide how Arkansas shall signify its accep tance of the fundamental conditions, nor does i'. prescribe penalties for their nullification. lt is seriously questioned whither the Con stitution has been ratified according to law, and it assumed to be iu force before its adop tion. The Arkansas Constitution restricted franchise oa its ratification by tests unknown i .J the Reconstruction Acts. Among them is the acceptance of political and civil rights ol all men. It is well known that a large por tion, if not a large majority of the elect .rs, do not accept this test, and if sppliod to vo ters North there is reason to believe many of them would remain away irotn the polls rath er than to comply with its degrading condi tions. Tue President concludes : Sboul I th.- peuple of Arkansas, therefore, desiring tu reg?late the elective franchise so :?".; m make it conform to the Constitution of a large proportion ol'the States of the North and West, modify the provisions referred to in the fundamental condition, what is to be the consequence? is it intended that a deni al ot representation shall follow?-and if so, may we not dread, at somo future day, a re currence cf the troubl?s which L.ive so long agitated the country ? Would it not bethe part of wisdom to take tor our guide the Federal Constitution rather than resort to measures which, looking only to the present, may in a few years reaew, in an ng^ravated form, the strife and bitterness c us; I bj* leg islation which has proved to be ill-t iud and unfortunate. Tue bill w?s-passed to day in tie House, over thc President's veto, by"a vote ol 110 tb 31. 'The Senate Lad not taken action on the veto at last account*. Washington News. In thc Senate, nu the 17th, a memorial was received from Wm. S. Chipley, of Kentucky, saying that his son, who resided at. Columbus, Ga., had been arrested by military authority, in violation of the Constitution, and carried two hundred miles from his home to Atlanta, where Le ?3 now imprisoned and deprived of communication with his friends, and that he is falsely charged with complicity in the mur der of G. W. Ashburn, of Georgia, who was killed in a negro house of ill fame. Referred to Committee. A motion to postpone indefinitely the Sen ate and House amendments to the Bankrupt Law was parsed. I he Chair laid before the Senate a tele graphic dispatch from the Rec m<"truction Convention of Texas, dated Austin, June 10, containing a resolution passed on that day, asking permission ot' Congress for the Con vention to organize a military force in con junction with the Military Commander, to subdue the crime and lawlessness which it is alleged is now so frequent in that State ; aud further setting forth that if Congress does not grant this power, the loyal people of Texas will be compelled to take the lawiu their own hands in seit defence. Referred lo the Com mittee on Military Affairs. In the Senate, on the lSth, the Conference Committee on thc Biil removing political dis abilities, reported recommending that Geo. W. Jones of Tennessee, and Geo. Hous-tou of Alabama, thc only Democrats ou the list, be erased, was adopted. Hendricks denounced this actiou as shame lessly partisan. No Radical Seuator, ventured to reply. Ross and Van Winkle, voted nay. lu thc House, a Resolution denunciatory of the Iudian treaty ratified by tho Senate, was passed, declaring that the House will feel bound to refuse any appropriation for it? rati fication. The treaty is a small affair with the Osage Indians, but is important as a first direct at tack on the c .rubi ned power of the President and Sena! e to make treaties. Juhu W. Caldwell, cf Ohio, has beeu'coL iinned as Miuister to Bolivia. The indictment for murder kai been aban doned in the Sutratt case, and indictment for conspiracy, the penalty of which is ten years imprisonment and a ?ne of len thousand dollars, will bc tried. The Washington Express says that it is re ported ou good authority that Chief Justice Chase bas written a letter, to be read iu the Natioual Democratic Convention, placing him self squarely oa any.t platform the Conven-, t on may adopt, but urging that negro suf frage be recognized and universal amnesty demanded. Private advices from Atlanta represent that the prisoners who are detained iu Columbus, Georgia, ou suspicion of being implicated in the murder of E. W. Ashburn, are treated with increased rigor. The Judiciary Commit tee ti'the House contemplate bringing the matter before the House on Monday. On the l'.l'h., in tho Senate, a Bill was in troduced to transfer the control of the Indians to the Freedmen's Bureau. In the House, the Report of the Committee of Conference on thedyili to relieve certain p -rsons South of their political disabilities was defeated !>y a vote of IS to 55. this not making the necessary two thirds vote for the passage of the Bill. The Democrats voted against the Bill on account ot' the erasure of two Democratic names from the Bill. This result produced much dissatisfaction, and the Ri publicans appealed to the Uuuse, on the ground that the defeat of the Bill would make Congressional recoust-uction a failure, and untold evils would ensue. , Mr. Bromwell, who bad changed his vote for that purpose, moved a reconsideration. His motion prevailed and the matter comes up again OD Monday. The Senate amendments to the Bill contin uintr the Freedmen's Bureau were, adopted, und the Bill.now goes to the President for his approval. On the 2Uih,tbe House wa3 occupied with unimportant matters until the veto of the Ar kansas bill, which passed 110 to 31, the veto notwithstanding. A party vote, except Stew art, of New York, who v ted with the Repub licans. McCulloch has uol resigned. The tax bill reported today comes up Mon day, and will occupy tno House, without in terruption, till concluded; it reduces whiskey to sixty cents. It is elaborate in details for collection. It is probable that a general amnesty will be proclaimed on the 4th of July. The President has pardoned Confederate General H. Ueth. The keen littie Columbia Phvnix says : It may be well to remark, ihat the State is not to bo paved, in (he emergency, by a statesmanship which may Le summed up in three words, to wit. '."D-ium the negro." Nor is it to be redeemed from uiigro supremacy b> reiterating the declara tion that "thu wa wliito man's yovornmont." Instead ut' repeating thia statement, time and again, let us go to work and seolt to ask? it ft government usdsr whit? cont to!. HON. REV-ESS? JOHNSON'S MISSION-Tho Vaahiogton correspondent of tbe New York tribune gives the following, telegraphed on ! une1 ay night : Reverdy Johnson called on the President esterday and accepted the position of Minis er to Enplat.d, and informed the President hat he will be ready to depart as soon'as bis nstructions shall have been .prepared. The President replied that the Secretary of State s absent, but that as soon aa he returns tho Minister's instructions shall be prepared^ "Fuis, v?l require some days, as they will embody all and ample authority to adjust the loug >euding Alabama claims. It is understood o be the intention of our government to iring about a speedy settlement of the ques ions at issue, and that is the principal reasor br sending Mr. Johnson to England at this .imo. The plan which our government will propose, it is thought, will be acceptable to be English Government. THE ADVERTISER. JAMES T-BACON, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 18G8. Deferred.

Death of a Gifted Editor and Lawyer.

Mr. DI.NKJXS was also a lawyer of very high repu tation. All Sumter has united with striking unan imity in weeping his loss und honoring his memory. The Ladies Entertainment. The Promenade Concert of the Ladies of thc congregation of Trinity Church, on Wednesday ovoning last, w?c, in all respects, a most charming success. And, since tue dull, hot season is fairly set in, we give a refreshing on dit. That the L:idies of the Baptist congregation iwre also going to get up such un affair soon, and that a number of musical geutlouion of Nowherry are coming down to lend their services on the occasion. Something tolook forward to ! Hope and pray it will not fall through. And An Entertainment of Men. Bah ! this consisted of a parcel of men devour ing barbecued meats Uko so many anacondas. But, then, we can't always have grace and beauty ; and this malo barbecue was an extremely comfor table affair. It took place on Saturday last at the Sheppard spring. The dinner, prepared by our friend Mr. J. D. Ramey, was superbly palata ble ; und when Mr. R. gets roady another, we would advise every one who likes Barbecued Meat?, and Rich Sauces, and Juicy, Luscious Veg etables, to rush to tho sce.io of action. Why not have such a ono every fortnight? Decent Southern Men Again Turned Out of Office. Geul. Cunby bas removed from offico the Mayor of Columbia (Theo. Stark, Esq.) and ave ont of the 1 twelve Aldermen. Why or wherefore, he does jj not deign to say. Nor does it boot any one to y a-k why. The new Mayor is Col. Francis L. Guenthor of tho U. S Army, while three of the new Aldermen are negroes. The displaced Alder- j fJ men, as well as the Mayor, ar? highly respectable j t native citizens of Columbia. Canby seems to take tbe most ferocious pleasure in clanking the :haius in our ears. He spits upon us and rubs it in for very pastime. | 0 Aiken On Dits.

The Planters Hotel, Augusta, Ga., is always I tj lown in our menomnduin book as a recipient of I y ur choicest blessings. Col. NICKERSON, its pro irietor, since be bought the Screven House in Sa- j Q annah, hus been residing for the most part in thc atter city ; but thc want of his actual presence j ? y no means lets or hinders tho delightful course if things at tho Augusta Establishment. Mr. IOLDSTRI.V, at tho hotd of the Planters, is in fact econd only to the able and popular NICKERSON imsclf. Oar pcoplo already know tho Planters well, and ally apprecia'e its comfort, its elegance, and the iigb and generous spirit with which it is con ucted. If there are any among tts who know it ot, we advise them to hasten, when the next op ortuniry thall present itself, to make up for so imentable a want. A want of knowledgo of the fl omforts and conveniences of the Planters Hotel, g] lUgusta, Ga,, is undoubtedly a most lamentable pl r?nt. v< f You Have Any Idea of Visiting New York, Read This. Ou Fourteenth Stroet, New York City, is the hanlor House, kept by Dr. L. B. DUNCAN, one of ie most popular and intelligent gentlemen whom outh Carolina has ever 6ent from her borders, .r. DUNCAN is of Barnwell, and being utterly roken up by Sherman's army, fled to the Ridge, | BJ i our own District, where he lived for Borne time, ubsequently, he went-to Augusta and became jptrintendent of NICKERSON'S Planters Hotel? ie great success of which house Was due in a igh degree to his business capacity and popular i inners. From Augusta Dr. DUNCAN removed i New York, and now he is keeping the Chanter [uuso, one of the most elegant private boarding eases in the whole city. Not exactly a private barding houso either, for he entertains guests in ie most lordly manner whother they stay with im one day or one month. The Chcnlor House is in the most beautiful and g esirablo part of tho city. Immediately opposite 2t Tew Tammany nail, tho headquarters of tho )emocraoy ; in the very heart of tho locality , j.

Tho Bill for the admirion of the State of Ar nasas has been vetoed by the President, and assed oguln over the veto by 116 to 31. And so ill it be With the Bill admitting South Carolina nd other States. The Constitution which is thus ?rust violently upon Arkansas disfranchises every tizen in that State wbo will not swear to abide y or accept negro suffrage, and also (as in South arolin'a) compels the sending of white children > mix with negro children at public schools. This, with tho no.-ings and rootings and mouth igs of tho dirty Corruption Committee, forms the um and substance of tho news from Washington. There is no order, no stability in the Gfovorn tent. The presence of this Congress in Wosh agton is no longer tolerable. Let its members osign their sent;, go homo, repent, pray, and ope_ to bo forgiven. If they will do this without n instant's delay, the South, much causo ax she as to complain of them, will forgive their vari as sins of omission nd commission, of bold ug Torsion and subtle plotting, nnd will say no more bout them. They might HS well vacate the prem ies of their own accord, and do it immodiutely, or the neople ot this country, of all sections, nive set themselves to work with a will, in ordei o crush them effectually. We advise ther tc ?.?ten to counsel, und depart from tho Congres ioual vicinage, hor.-e, foot and dragoons, before s rorse thing happens to them. The Proposed Amendment to the Con stitution of the United States. Last week we announced the passage, hy both louse* of Congress, of a Bill re-admitting five ol he uoTeconrtructed Southern States to tho Union. Imong this five is included our own State. One if the conditions of such re-admisslon is the rati icatiou, by tho Legislature of each State, of the o-calied Fourteenth Article. And as some ol iur readers may not bo familiar with tho import if this proposed amendment, we give it bolow. It is necessary that this) amendment be ratified ty three-fourths of the States before it can be in orporated as a part of the Constitution. Having ailed, thus far, to obtain the requisite three burths, and several of tho "loyal Statos"having econsidcred and revoked their ratification, it now lecomcs necessary to obtain the ratification by uost of the "rebellious Staten" which, Congress ays, are not States, andoan have no voice in the National Councils until thoy becomo States. Thoso Legislatures having a decided Radical aajority will doubtless ratify this fourteenth artt le, because their masters ssy thoy must. Tho legislature of South Carolina will ratify it, and, y so doing, will pnndor to the behests of a cor upt Congress, and assist in fastening upon other ?tates a villainous and unconstitutional clause in he Constitution,-unconstitutional because ratt led by a coercive measure of Congress, and not iy the free action of three-fourths of thc States. The Article itself is entirely objectionable, for easons evident to all who oxHmine it. Article XIV.-Section I. All perpons horn or laturalized in tho United States, and subject to he jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United ?tates and of tho States wherein they reside. No ?tate shall mako or enforce any laws which shall .bridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of he United States, nor shall any State deprivo any lerson ol' life, liberty, or property, without due rocess of law, nor deny any person within its tirisdictinn the equal protection of the laws. Sec. 2. Representativos shall bo apportioned mong the several States according to their re sistive number?, Cfcundug the whole number of ersons in each State, excluding Indians not ned. But whenever tho right to vote at anelec lon for electors of President and vice-President r for United Sutes Representatives in Congress xecutivo or judicial officers of a State, or mern ers of thc Legislature thereof, is deniod to any f the male inhabitants of such States, being wenty-ono years of ago and citizens of tho Uni ?d States, or in any way abridged, excopt for articipation in rebellion or otbor crime, the basis f representation therein shall be reduced in pro ortioo to which the number of such male citizens ball bear to the whole number of such male ci.i uos twenty-one years of age in such State. Soo. 3. No person rball be a Senator or repre intativo in Congress, or olector o' President, or old an office, civil or military, under the United tate.., or under any St..tc, who, having previous r taken an oath HS a member ot Congress, or as a officer of the United States, or as a momberoi ay Bute Legislature, or us an executive or judi al officer of any State, to support the Con s ti tu on of the United States, shall have engaged in in irrection or rebellion against tho samo, or given id or comfort to the enemies thereof; but Con ress may, by a vote of two thirds of each House, imove such disability. Sec. 4.

The Edgefield Rail Road. MR. EDITOR,-In advocating the cause of th Edgefield Hail Road, at this late day in the age of " Progrem," it seems like stirring up the ashes of the almost forgotton past. I know not how muny times, within tho last forty years, tho im portanco, advantages, and pressing need of this Rail Road, have been urged upon the people ; and whilo its claims h ure been generally aeknowl edged, and even at ono timo, I believe, the stock taken, and various routes survoyc , still we are without the Road, and consequently, without the palo of civilization. EdgoQeld was once considered one of the most boautifol and thriving towna in the State; and when I contrast its present condition, all roadless and forlorn, with other towns, stimulated to active enterprise and growing prosperity by tho constant roar of the iron horse, and then think of what Old Edgefield might hare been, "I feel like ooo who treads alone some banquet hall deserted." Still there i.? hopo. A Rail Road can now be built to Edgefield. It ahonld bo built. And hopo the people will go to work and determine that it aimil be built. " Progress," in one of your late numbers, ably advocates this Road, BO far as argument and style aro concerned, but, in my bumble opinion, practi cally kills the thing as dead as a door nail. Al' Rail Rond? aro built, milo at a timo, and we must not despic? tho day of small things. No one of sense, will object to the Road, after it is built to Edge field, hoing extended to tho Blue Ridgo ; but let us build tho little six milo Rail Road, and as " Progreaa" suggests, with the view of its exten sion to tho world's end if possible. Tho impov. erished state of our people at present renders it almost impossible, to undertako a public work of any considerable magnitude; and for this reason I think " Progreaa" kills the thing by hinting at the greater and more important ottension. Tho wind work of this Road has been dono over a thousand times, and the time has now come when we must only use Rail Rood breath, between the sturdy blows of the axe, the shovel, and the spade. Go to work at once and the Road will be built. How ? that is the question. Let me, in duo deference to the experimental knowledge nf others, ranko an bubble suggestion First: Ascertain the cost of grading, cross-tie?, and building the Road, ready for the cars. Secondly : Divide the Road into twenty-four contracts of one-fourth of a mile each. Thirdly : Open a subscription book of shares, requiring each to subscribe the labor for building ono or more of the twenty-four contracts; when thc contracts are all taken and built, the contrac tors become the stock-holders and may thon de vise such moans for procuring curs, tc, ns may be deemed by them most expodient. Whatever the Road may bo worth when com pleted will then be the remuneration for the la bor and expenso of building. In this way'I be lieve tVe Road can be built, and I beliova'ft will pay.

If such has been the result wuh the slight effort made at tho lagt election, ought it not to encourage us tu nuke greater exertions in future in order to insure tho election of men identified with the permanent in terests of the State, in lieu of the place-seeking Carpet Baggers and Bureau Officers? Something should be dono to arouse the peoplo to the no'os sity of every man's taking an active and personal part in political matters. Next fall, for the ?rst time, Carolinians will be called on to vote diretly for the Electors uf thc President, and it woull be a sourco of pride and congratulation could we. by a united and earnest effort, succeed in carrying Carolina's vote for the Democratic Nominee in spite of the manipulations of tho dominant Radi cal party. It reits with tho white men of the State to determine whether that rote shall becast for tho Radical or Democratic Candidate. If tho proper measures aro taken, and tho proper influences brought to bear, we can sucocd.

Seroral Southern Goren under tho lead of Governor Orr wont on to Wi ington in January, 186", when the first Rec struction Act was pending and offered to ace Congressional reconstruction, with qualified nc suffrage as its leading feature Tho Radicals i upon the proposition then as they did whe solf constituted caucus of South Carolinians lat renowed it, and as they will continue to do all time toc?me. When Governor. Orr rem? bors all the torrents of abuso which have b showered upon him during the last sevent mouths for his half radical course, he mast en, with exquisite pleasure the fact that even Har ton, Perry and other pillars of State are n standing on his platform of qualified negro suffra Politics not only make strange bod fellows, 1 the same politician often changes his politi bed in quick and astonishing succession. She ly after tho passage of the first reconstruct Act, Gen. Hampton, Mr. Arthur and other lei ing white mon about Columbia had a great rat cation meeting, accepting absolute negro suffri and congressional reconstruction in all its pal At this meeting the niggers attendod as wjell the whites, and the big nigger Beverly Nash, well as sundry other leading niggers, occupi seats on the same stand with the white speaki and took the same gronnd on reconstruction, which the darkies have since consistently r hered. In tho summer of 1807, Gen. Ham pt finding that nearly all the niggers wero going vote the Radical ticket, and that tho white peo] of the South would not stomach Congresskn Reconstruction, especially os to absolute nog suffrage,* wrote a long letter of paternal advi to the people of Sooth Carolina, after the Exec tive stylo, in which he counseled the South take no action whatever under the reconstru tion Acts, nnd went io far ns to say that the Sta of South Carolina should havo done nothii after the surrender-not even havo abolishi slavery, and he resurrected a lotter of his to th effect, which purported to have been writtc nearly two years previous, but which was nevi published whon the people of tho State mo needed fatherly advice. As Gen. H. kept silei in 1365, when South Carolina lay bleeding i every pore and calling for the wisest counsels < her sagest sons, perhaps he had better keep qui? still if only for his own sake, as notwithstandin his* two previous contradictory positions on rt construction, we now find that he has jumpo over Mr. Orr's head and is holding up the Pal metto Banaer, inscribed with Orr's motto o qualified negro suffrage, and is asking Sont! Carolina to follow him half way to Radicalise at a leap. It is to be hoped that he will stick t this middle ground as he bas luccessireiy occu pied the two extremes. Let South Carolina adopt qualified negro suf frage now, and Ehe would soon find herself ii possession of universal negro suffrage. One? break down the barrier between the races, as t< political rights, on any qualifications whatever and every sncceeding election would continue tc demolish moro and more of the harrier until aftei a while tbero would be no barrier at all. This it tho history of the extension of suffrage every where. At first but few negroes would hare sufficient educa-ion or property to obtain tbe ballot, but their numbers would rapidly increase in this sparsely peopled country where landis plentiful, where labor is scarce, and wages high. Their numbers would still farther increase by white candidates, or their friends, bestowing the requisito qualifications in furnishing the educa tion, ujouey, oaths, etc., in closely contested elec tions, just as white foreigners are now natural ized with groat facility in exciting election times. The small body of colored voters, under qualified suffrago, would always affiliate cordially only with that party or candidate who would come nearest to treating the nigger and the nigger race as social and political equals. Ia a close :ontcst between whito parties, each party would aid higher and higher for tho nigger balance of powor until finally ono party o?'whito mon would ieclare for letting all niggers vote. The two )ther political rights, to hold office and sit on uries, would soon follow. The history of the anco small abolition party at the North, as a jalance of power, ought to warn us in timo. There aro so many lazy whito men, and women ,oo, who will be willing to sell their vicious blood 0 an ambitious and industrious negro, that amal gamation will take place fast unough, let the 3tato do what she may or care, with such a large roo colored population in her midst; but give the ?ogro equal political rights and the near fate of ;be South may be read iu that of Mexico. Once rrant a negro political privileges, and you in itantly advance his social status, because he rould be courted for the power that he possessed, md the enjoyment of each power by the odored nan would tend rapidly to miscegenation. In a ow words, it may be said that South Carolina has 1 disease called demoralization, and some of her political doctors are prescribing a qualified dose jf nigger, which if administered will only in crease tho disease, whon a still larger dose of nigger will bo gi von only yet further to aggravato the disease, and thus it will go on until the whole nigger shall hare been swallowed, and until the whole body politic shall have become hopelessly demoralized by universul negro suffrage, general mongrelura, chronic anarchy and permanent des potism. The only difference between* absolute suffrage and qualified suffrage for free negroes in South Carolina, is, that the one would bring a quick death to tho State, while the other would inflict a torturing, lingering death. Time-tho test of all things-would produce Uko results in both cases. It ii said, ia apology for the hasty canses that have undertaken to pledge South Carolina to quali fied negro suffrage, that the pledge was not given in good faith,-that it was not given with any intention of redeeming it, if the State should be left to herself,-but was only intended as a tub to the whale-to attract moderate white radicals, and to entico ciggers to vote the Democratic ticket. If this be true, theu" indeed have some : men in South Carolina fallen very low, who have i hitherto stood high ia the confidonce of the State, i The South Carolina of other days was not wont : to use decoys in politics. Her good old plan was i to fight ander but one flag, and if qualified negro i suffrage be only intended as a snare, then it is the i first initanco, in the history of the State, where < it has been proposed by men enjoying ber conti- I done, that she shall hold with the fox and cry < with the hounds. Thore was a time when tho i BtateBnion of South Carolina spurned to baster t their principles for Federal office, or to sacrifice ] their liberties to prevent the frowns of Federal i power; bat things look different at this time. It is the custom now in the United States for c avery Delegate to a National Convention that s nominates ? Presidential candidate, who il aftor- ( warda elected, tc claim one omeo for himself, and i many offices for his friends. In April last, three t MOMA? before the meeting of the New York Na- o tional Democratic Convention, a squad of politi- o :ians about Columbia, and along the lines of two "> ar three Railroads, after only four doy? feoffee to f the people, assembled and organised into what d was called a Democratic Convention of the State, f -appointed themselves Delegates to New York, 6 [ind adopted a compromise platform two-thirds fi Radical and only one-third Democratic, so as c apparently to tako two chances in a con tin gc ney e for getting ofice nnder tho next President. This 1 M ----H---?-*---an self-constituted Caucus aron usurped the right of each Congressional District to nominate its own Dolegatcs to th< National Democratic Conven tion. As to nominating themselves Delegates to the New York Convention no one objects. That is a matter of uste. What the peoplo protest against is that a pretended State Democratic Convention of Soiilh, Carolina should adopt a moderato Radical platform, and undertake to pledgo the State to its support. A Democratio President cnn be elected next November only oy Northern Democrat, and as they will have the brunt to bear, they ought to make the whole Democratic platform, and have sole power to nominate the candidates. Southern Democrats ought to go to New York to take ad vice, not to give it ; to havo a platform tnado for them, not to make it. Yet it is proposed to send South Carolina there with a good Radical plat form to divide, distract and weaken the Demo cratio strength. The ouly hope of Democratic success in the next Federal elections, is in accep ting the wager of battle thrown down by tho ex tremo Radicals on the broad issues of universal negro suffrage at the South, and full payment of tho War Bond; ia gold. These are tho two live issues of tho car vnss at tbe North ; yet a party in South Carolina, calling itself Democratic, and claiming to represent nine-tenths of her people, are for shutting the mouths of Democratio ora tors on negro ?uf-rago, and for letting tho Radi cals be able to taunt Northern Democrats with going further against negro suffrage than even ultra South Carolina. This State- is tho only Southern State wherein any respectable number of decent white men have yet declared in favor of qualified negro suffrage. Think of it. Think of it, South Caro lina the once proud leader of the Democratic Party-the late gallant leader in Secession-now the leader in-but I will not finish the sentence. The people of this State do not sym pathize with this movement to rob them of their honor, which is all that is left. As South Caro lina fired the first gun in tho War, so she will be the last to degrado herself by voluntarily admit ting any niggor to the franchise. Otherwise, her haroic doad, if (hay can take any interest in the affairs of the living, will feel that they hare died in vuin for an unworthy people, and the prond spirits of the gallant Gregg, Perrin and others will have but a fitful rest in their long sleep. Qualified negro aufrage is the bantling of Con servative Radicalism. It is tko offspring of the prudent, thinking, cunning, calculating heads of the Radical party. The real leaders of that par ty-the mon who furnished it brains and gave it respectability-are now only moderate Radicals, -"conservative Radicals" they call themselves. Doolittle, Trumbull, Fossenden, Chase, Seward, otc. These are the men who preach qualified ne gro suffrage knowing now, that universal negro suffrogo will follow hereafter. They are for drag ging white men down to the level of negroes gradually. They will take time and short sk ps to accomplish so violent a change. Slavery wis abolished only by degrees-negroes mu.t be mr de white men by degrees, and tho Government n ost be changed into a monarchy by degrees. Tl ese same cunning Conservative leaders, having ap prehensions about being permitted to count seven hundred thousand nigger votes for a Radical President at the next election, are devising some icheme, either to reconcile Southern white men to it, or to have three Presidential Candidates so is to throw the election of Presidont icio the House. Qualified negro suffrage, or universal white and black suffrage, is the platform, and Dhose for President, with Governors Orr, or Brown, or some other Southern half radical, for I'ice President are the proposed candidates. They ' lope to carry all, or most of the Southern States, ind some of tbe Northern, for a Conservative Radical Presidential candidate; and if such can lidate should fail to be elected by the people, he night yot cause the election to devolve on the rluu*e of Representative, and force both the Democrats and the extreme Radicals to unite on lim, or Grant, os the Democratic candidate wonld itand no chance wi:li tho present House. This s the meaning of the Chase movement now. This s the secret why the Conservative Radical lead irs " so-called" are taking the lead, since the de eat of Impeachment, in admitting the Bogus .tates of the South. The Leaden of tho Radical party differ only n policy, not in principle. Theirs is i friendly [uarrel, and thoy have pretended to divide into ' Conservative" end " Extreme" classes to split he Democracy if possible. Tho Radicals won ho Presidency in 18f 0, by three Candidates be ug in tho field, and they are manoeuvering to bave anotht?triangular fight for the next Chief Magistracy. Ought Carolina Democrats to act ts field Marshals in reforming fur tho Radical laity a line of battle which has alroady proved 0 disastrous to the South ? There can hardly be a doubt, but that Seward 3 the renl God-Father of qualified negro suffrage, lovornor Orr has an admiration amounting al nost to idolatry for tho intellect of this American liucbiftvelli-the ovil genius ot the United States -the author alike of tho war, and of the anar hy which has followed it Can it be possible hat other loading spirits of South Carolina-the tew converts to qualified negro suffrage, are also ishing in Federal waters for national honors as rell as Governor Orr ? Or are they only the upes of the American Talleyrand, who, so he is 'rime Minister, docs not care muon who is King, id the South then shun qualified negro suffrage s a trap to catch the unwary-as a bait hiding be double barb of a Radical President and uni crsul negro suffrage. These moderato Radien ls bink that the South is so broken in spirit-is so nxious for civil government upon auy terms, hat she will readily embrace qualified negro uffrage, or even be reconciled to universal negro uffrage, if the disfranchisement of white voters hall he removod. They give us crodit for hav ag no sense, no pride, no patience, no fortitude, iheso very conservativo gentlemen, who are only nemios in the disguise of friends, feel that their ower is doparting,-that the day of Southern eliverance ii at hand, and they design at thc_ leventh hour to obeut us into base concessions. The cardinal doctrino of thc Democratic party 3 opposition to oolorcd suffrage in any form, and bis is the position of every honest right thinking lonthcru man. Whenever the South may have ower to reduce negro suffrage from the absolute 1 the qualified form, aho will go a step farther nd reduce it to no suffrage at all. How many igger votes will qualified negro. suffrage attract ) the Democratic party, when all niggers are Rowed to volo by the Radical party? Can reedmen be expected to disfranchise themselves? t would be just as reasonable to invite white ion who now have the ballot, to voluntarily dis ranchlse themselves, as to ask a nigger who hts ie ballot, according to radical law, to disfran hiso himself. The only practical effect of quail ed negro suffrage in the South, as ? -olicy (for o true Southern man advocates it as a principle,) an be, not to attract negroes to the Democratio arty, but only to draw faltering, or designing democrats to the Radioal party. But it may be lid that qualified negro suffrage will draw off loderate white radicals at tho North. Yet if it Iso draw off faltering or designing white Demo rats at the South what advantage will be gained J the great National Democratic porty, which is pposed to any negro suffrage. So that in any spect this compromise middle ground, third par r doctrine, places its supporters in an awkward osition, either as honest Democrats, or as wise outhornera. If the white men of the South will only promise ualified negro suffrage, and will support a con srvative radioal for Proiident, it is obvious that haso's friends will hold a general Convention to om?nate bim, and to adopt a platform agreeing > let the Southern States reconstruct themselves a the basis of either qualified negro suffrage, or f universal suffrage, for both white and black, fould not either of these be great inducements >r us to disgrace ourselves, dishonor our fathers, egrade our children, and turn traitors to our iendi at the North ? It is idle to say that the outh Carolina movement for qualified negro suf ..ge is neoessary to attract moderate white radi, als at the North to the Democratic party. The xtreme Radicals can, ind will, accept nothing MB than universal negro suffrage at tho South. Thc moderate radical? are already driven from their party, and they have no where to go but into thc racks of the Democratic party, unless the qualified negro suffrage men of South Caro lina shall gire them a rallying point The motto of Northern Democrat? is that they were born white men, and will live white men, or die white men, fighting for the supremacy of the white race. If those men, who will be affected by ne gro suffrage only through the Federal Govern ment, can cherish sueh unconquerable opposition, how much stronger, if it uer? possible, ought we to oppose it, who will have the negro to rule over us in the State Government, as well as in the Federal. Then fling the qualified negro suffrage policy to the dogs, and hang out the banner of principle on the outer wall-the Democratic flag of white supremacy, and watch well the Southern man who will net rally around that flag. Abolishing slavery aud enfranchising negroes as a part of the body politic, are two very different things. If Northern Democrats failed to prevent the one, that is no reason why they should not now bavo both the power and the will to prevent the other, of which more in the next G. D.
