Soward, covering thc con stitutional amendment proposed to tho scvo r.il States of tho Utiioti hy tho Congress of tho fruited Si .i.s. 1 listory furnishes few ex amples of a peuple who have been required to cone "lo moro to the will of their conquer ors than tho j.plo of tho South. Every coli o ri.iiou wo ha vu made, however so fur from touching tho magnuniity or generosity of tho victors, has sharpened their malice and intcn billed their revengo. In tho surrender Of our last organized army of the Into Cotifiiriowtg Covornment, Ceno rals Johnson ami Sherman, each representing the Military power and authority of his res pective Covernuiont, agreed upon certain terms of capitulation. While exacting iii some res pects, those terms were in thc main such as a liberal and generous victor would conc?d? to a fallen foo. TllCy were accepted in good faith by tho Southern people, and every or gaui/.od body of soldiers in opposition to the laws of tho United States were in a few days dispersed. Soarcolj had tho fact of tho cap itulation boon made public, however, before it was announced that tho terms wore repudi ated by th ; Executive authority of tho Uni ted States, mid tl proclamation was issued, of fering amnesty, with numerous excepted class c's, to Iho?O who lind participated in the war These class.'s also acquicscou, und eon form iii', to tho requirements of tho Chief Executive generally, mad J application for pardon. Thor followed Military Governors and tho militan occupation of tho country, under which tin right> of tho citizen were regulated by ni known rules, anil he wis tited and putushot hy no known taws. This condition of thing was also acquiesced in with remarkable pa Hence, Provisional Governors wor? then ap pointod, winne functions were porformet jointly with tho military commanders, nm e inventions calle I by these Governors were as semblcd to chango tho organic law of thesev ord States. Thus did thc people of Soutl Carolina assemble and oblit?rale the Consti tlltion th it had boon m ido and hallowed b such menas ilutlcdgc, I'inckney, Marion an Sumter. Wo wore required to abolish BIJIVI ry, which had existed for two hundred year; and was intimately interwoven with the \vhb1 s vial, industrial and financial fabric of th St tte. Wo o bayed. Whoo the Legisla till assembled, wo were required to ratify thc cot stitutional amendment abolishing slavery i thc United State-!, and were made, in part, ii stnunonts to accomplish that result in Kci tucky and Delaware, whoo those States lu. refused to do soot' their own volition. ^ obeyed. In addition to this, all the citizoi of South Carolina, with scarcely an exceptio took th i amnesty oath ; which required the to sustain and support all the proclamatioi and laws made during tho war, and partie lally those relating lo the abolition of slaver These oaths have been observed by tho gre in ass of the people with singular fidelity, ai SSRVy i?ftilf? i?^Hnsa?itl.on'Snd^l/nb has been exhibited and practiced.

Tiley go upon tho witness stund and testif they arc permitted to testify in their own i seal, even when on trial for tho gravest oflc cs.

Do sensible, ( and, ?us' mon ut tho North desire that these p plo, without i n forma I ion or education-steo| in ignorance, crimes and vice, should go to polia and clod ?"ai ic Congress who nre to p laws taxing and governing them ? Now that this has boon done, what further or higher plec of honorable obedience cnn be givon by ono p plo to another ? Rio tho majority wdio ti rule Congross expect to m ike ns hotter men bolter citizens-moro serviceable to thc conn in pcaco and in war, by further humiliating a ?rid degrading tis? Notwithstanding ntl tilt pledges and onOeossioris, it is sought still f thor to humiliate und (logrado ibo South.

Although their Sonators and K rosontativoa liavo been duly elected, ht prosbntod themsolvos for tho purpose of taki their scats, thoir credentials have, in most stances, boon laid lipon the. table without bei read, or have boca referred to a Committee, v have failed to m.iko any report on tho subj) In short, Congress bas rofusod to exorcise Constitutional fonctions, and decide either iq tho election, tho return or tho quat I lieut im those soloctcd by tho States and people to roj sont us. Some of tho Sonators and It?pros tativo.i from the Southern States were prepa to tako tho tost oath, but oven these, have b porsistontly ignored, ami koptoutof tho seat which they wore entitled under thc Constitu? and laws.

Who is most likely to exercise this power judiciously-the citizens of thc State wherein thc r?gulation is to be made, or non residents, who aro entirely ignorant of tho pop ulation, tim intelligence, necessities und resour ces for which legislation is undertaken ? Willi this amendment incorporated in tho Constitu tion, docs not the federal Clovornment censo to bo ono of " limited powers" in allot' thc essen tial qualities which constitute such n form of Government ? Nay. more ; does not its adop tion reverse the w<il approved doctrine, lind tho I United Slates shall exorcise no powers, unless expressly delegated by tho Constitution? Tho third section, if its spirit wore curried out, would not only disorganize tho Slate l?ov ero mont, in all ?if its departments, but would render it nearly i tn po ASI ble for the people of South Candi IIA, nt least, to reorganize a Clov oriitnent until Congress, by a two thirds veto in the cuso of oacb individual poison, removes the disability. And this Cor tho rep sou that alien secession was determined upon by the Conven tion of thc Statu. S nilli Carolina may bo h oly said to have been un unit in sustaining tho doc trino, and in oarnostly and zealously prosecu ting ibo war. When, therefore, every citizen who, at any timo prior lo secession had taken the oath " to support thc Constitution of this State, aad nf thu Untied States" and who sub sequently aided and abetted ibo war, ts exclu ded from every official position, Stale as welles Poderut, Ibo magnitude of thc disability ia un veiled, livery officer in tho past of the Stute, civil and military, was required, before entering upon the discharge ol' tho duties of his ollieo, lo subscribe to such a> oath, from the Senator in Congress to the lieutenant in thu bent compa nies. Who Iben can bc made Judges, Congress men, Legislators. District Officers and Magis trates? lt is to be observed, therefore thetas to this State, the adoption ol' the amendment will necessarily result to per ju rv on the part of those who at tem pl to lill such olliecs, or tn anar chy, if they are not lilied. Congress, violating another established principle ol' the Constitu tion, confers upon itself thc right of the pardon ing power, when tho Constitution vests it in the President. How long would it occupy the at tention of that body to roinovo Ibo disabilities imposed, fora sullicient number of. our citizens to lill the respectivo olimos tn South Cand?na alone? Is anarchy to pervade society unit 1 th suits the intcrost, tho prejudices, thu passion or tho caprice of Congress to proclaim such nets of grace and mercy ? There aro oilier objections of n graver charrie tor which might bo urged; and among these it may bc mentioned, (hut if the amendment is adopted, we not only have no guarantee that our representatives would bo admitted lo Con gress, but they ure unmistakable indications that they would still be included. It is unneces sary, however, to dwell upon a subject which bas boen so far decided by ibo public opinion of tho people of tho State, that I am justified in saying, that if theebnstitittionnl amendment is to bo adopted, let it bo. d nie by ibo irresponsi ble power nf numbers, and let us preserve our own self-respect, and Ibo respect of our posteri ty, by refusing to bethe mean instruments of our own shume.

Ovar Courier: Tholegislativoseason found us wending our way to tito Muu-manized cap itol of the good old Palmetto Stato. On the way, wo had tho pleasure of traveling with tho vory intelligent and promising gentlemen who composo tho delegation from Picketts Messrs. EASKKY, NOKTON, Iv KITH and Bt>\V KN. On thc ground, wc found our admirable Senator, Col. GltlSllAM, who had prooedod his colleagues a few (lays, to enable him to inves tigate, asa committeeman, tho many charges made against thc Railroads of thc Stato. Wo regret to have to say, that, although thcro can bc no doubt of thc truth of many of these charges, yet, they are so imperfectly substan tiated, as to render thc investigation, practi cally, n failure. Ami more is the pity ! Tho c irs wore crowded on their downward trip Monday. .Judges, Senators, members ol House, and law Stud.'nts, with a "sprinkling' of candid it os for legislativo favor. The lasl trimed gentlemen wore very alfiblo, and keen ly alive lo their respectivo interests. We are comfortably lodged ?it NlCK-KltsON*: -the headquarters of thc capitol city-at ? per day. The General Assembly convened on Mon day at 7 o'clock, P. M. A quorum was pres cut. In the Senate, Col. Gili S ll A M Uiovct that a committee bo appointed to wait on Iii Excellency, Gov. OllK, nod inform him tba that body was org mixed and ready to rceciv any communication he might, have to malo Messrs. GltlSllAM and Wi (?SON woroappoin cd. Gen. E.\.sr.t'Y performed a like duty i the House, lind was made chairman of th Committee. On Tuesday, the Committees appointed I wait on thc Governor, reported that he wool communicate by"message to thc Logislatui forthwith. Thc message is lengthy, very ida orate, and, taken as a whole, isa document i the very highest ability. Jt cannot, fail to a tract an unusual share of attention beyond tl limits of the State. On Wednesday, Col. G it ISM AM, in thc Sc atc, by resolution, moved to refer thc Messaj to the appropriate committees: and it was ordered. Mr. AlKBN, of Fairfield. p? formed a like service for the House of Hopi sontntives. Tho House took up a bill introduced 1 Mr. lillSSBfiL, of Anderson, to give thc el? lion of Commissioner in Equity to the peopl Tho bill was laid on thc table by a large ni jority. Roth Houses adjourned to meet on Frida in deference to Prosidcnt JOHNSON'S "thanl giving day." Humiliation and prayer seem better suited to our present condition. Sti wc favored thc adjournment, in respect to t " powers that be." In the House, Friday, the resolutions feted by Mr. WAIU.KY, of Darlington, in r crence to JBFPBKSON DAVIS, wore taken i Mr. WAIUIRY, in a very excited and imp sinned manner, advocated the adoption of 1 resolutions. (ien. EASI.KY offered a substitute, whi omboi'-icd more correctly tho views of t House, and made an eloquent and effect; speech in its behalf. After some parliaim ta ry mamcuvreing, both tho resolutions a substitute were referred to thc Committee Federal Relations. The Senate was engaged in consider!ti: bill.to repeal thc usury laws. An effon .being made to accomplish this purpose, w a prospect of success. A usury law is ncc sury io protect and cherish the farming inf cst ; but, as wc have little or no money in .State, all parties appear willing to give project a fair trial, and demonstrate, if po hie, whether or not such a law will ind capital to seek investment in tho State. It is dillt ult to divine what thc Legislat can accomplish, in tho present uncertain turc of thc State ; but, wc trust, good ti yet como out of chaos. This ?sour only bc Thc Court of Appeals is in session, and turned out a large crop of new or rather yoi lawyers-about fifty in number. Mr. Wu NKH S Y M.MBS, of your District, passed throi thc ordeal of examination with " flying ors." Success to him. Thc Court of Errors is likewise in scssi Several important questions are to bc dc mined by this tribunal. Tho first is, whet or uci tho " Statute of limitations" run v thc Stay Law; or, like that defunct on nient, had nothing more than its present tality. 2d. Whether " greenback " isal< tender. lld.

In her fullness, she longed for ol hers to drink of the same cup. exhorting them lo let go the plonsures of the world, to take hold of the pleasures of Christ, assuring them thal, they cannot enjoy Ibo world ntid Ood together, or find the pleasures of s ll val lon without much faith an 1 prayer.
