" Tho United States shall guaruntce to cv ory State in this Union a ropublioan form of government."-Section 4, Article IV, Con stitution of the United States of America. Under this authority, tho Congress of the United States, after excluding from tho;r seats tho Senators and Representatives of len Southern States, has established io all of tho excluded States a military government, abso luto und unlimited in its powers ! It is well j known that these States hove exhausted their power and nsources in a gallant and lieroio Struggle for independence and self govern ment. They now have no alternative but un qualified submission to tho military despotism thrown over them. It is to be boped, and it is generally believed, that Military cominan ders in tho Southern States will exorcise their despotic powers wisely and humanely. It is ibo administration of a government, and not tho form of a government, which makes it odious and oppressive. A despotism, wisi ly, justly and virtuously administered, is thc most perfect government that cnn be established. It is the government of Cod, established by bim for thc government Of tho universe. Five or six months ugo, South Carolina, with all the other Southern States, rejected, with scorn und indignation, the constitutional amendment, which proposed to oxeludo from office their loudb ? nen, and reduoc their rep resentation in Congress, unless they permit ted universal negro suffrage. Now, it is pro pose 1 by tho military bill nut only to exclude mis class of persons, from nineo, but, to dis' franchise them and exclude them from voting io all elections, mid at the same time'tn en franchise their former slaves and give univer sd suffrage to the negro. Strange to say, that there aro many persons in tho Southern Stat?s whoso bi?b sense of honor Wolild mil let them adopt thc constitutional amendment, who are now urging the people to voluntarily swallow ibo military bill, regardless of honor, principle or consistency. I am happy to konw that they are secessionist aud never wore Un ion mun. The inquiry is, which, then, shall we do? Wlltl \ have been writing, the telegraph brings thc glorious news that Mississippi ami Georgia bavo appealed to the judiciary for tho protection of their constitutional rights as sovereign States of thc American Union. Would to God that South Carolina stood bj the side of Mississippi and Georgia, in this their last noble ol?brt to maintain their digni ty and honor as States and just rights ami liberties of their citizens. If this last, grand, expiring effort in favor of freedom should fail, then tho South will have tu quietly meet thc tyranny of Congress ; but, itt meeting, she need not embrace tho hideous thing. When the military order is issued for a reg istration of voters, let everyman, not disfran chised, ?0 forward and register his name. When the election is ordered for a convonttor, it will bo the duty of every voter to cast bis vote for the wisest, best and most trustworthy men, who aro eligible to su its in that conven tion. This much he is forced to do for self protection, and to koop tho State Government from falling into tho bands nf unworthy and base men. He need go no further. Let him then endorse on bis iieket, .? iVb ron vent ion.' If bo is a patriot and an honorable mau, he cannot desire tho change which the military bill contemplates, and be should not vote o pel With the cunning which always character izos thc tyrant, Congress has enacted that the. people themselves shall endorse the edi of a convention, in order to give legal validi ty to its acts. Without this endorsement, thc whole proceeding might bc regarded as forced on tho States by the military govern meut. and. therefore, null ami void. Hence, the trick of making the people, endorse th? call of n convention. It is to bc boped that they will not bo caught by this cunning de vice, nnd that they may be able to influence their freedmen to act with them. Hut should a majority of the votes bo for a convention, theo, it is to assemble, and not otherwise. When it assembles, the honor and destiny of the State will bo in its keeping. Hut if tho pcoplo should vote " no conven tion," what then ? The honor and dignity of the States will, nt least, not be thereby sacrificed by their citizone. Wc shall remain as we are, under a military rulo till there is a reaction at tho North. It has already com menced in Connecticut, and will sooner or la ter, sweep over tho whole N n th -western and Middle States. Then wo shall bo restored to our rights in the Union, with honor unsullied j and thc right of suffrage unchanged, Let us await this Democratic triumph, bo it a hun dred years, rather than seek new associations with our Black Republican tyrants and op pressors, and bc guilty of tho baseness of abandoning our friends at the North, who have nobly defended our cause, for two years past, and sacrificed themselves in the struggle for Southern Rights and constitutional free dom. If wo are unwilling to bear tho ills to which we aro subjected, for the maintenance of hon or and prineiplo, then wo deservo our destiny. It is said that, if wo do not accept the degra ding terms now offered, worse will bo imposed ! Have wo any assuranco that worse may not bo imposed, if wo do accept ? Like tho wo man who consented to ber own dishonor to save tho lifo of her husband, and was then made to witness bis execution ! There is no faith in tyrants. Threats of confiscation are futile. Almost everyone lins boon pardoned, by taking tho amnesty oath or hy special ap. Elication. The Southern people may bo rot ed and murdered, but their property cannot bo confiscated. In order to dobauoh prominent Southern men, offers hnvo boen mado in Congress to re move their disabilities, and, it would seem, not without success ! Threats to tho many, and bribes to a few, is the policy adopted for radicalising tho Southern States. With uni versal negro suffrage and debauched politi cians, wo may bid farewell to nil hope of re publican institutions. Virtue and intelligence alone cnn sustain o republic. When the ne gro lins acquired intelligence to understand bis political rights, and property to make him feel sn intorest in tho proper exercise of them, im - i M .?,""". I "i^'^J-L-lL- 'J'J-'lLlia I ho should bo allowed to vote. This princi pio has boen adopted in most of tho Northern Suites, and is wisc and just. But it is wicked to put bullots ?uto tho hands of those who will bo the passivo tools of their employers, or tho mischievous agents of Black llupublicun em issaries. Nothing cnn ho more unjust und iniquitms than thc discriminating disfranchisement of thc military hill. A Union man, whose lifo ! hus been spent in trying to maintain thc in- . tegrity of the Union, b?t who was a member of thc Legislature or a Judge ten or twenty j years ugo, and who, after bis State seceded, ' fed or clothed a son in the Confederate army, is disfranchised ! Hut the man whose whole life may have been spent in treasonable efforts tn destroy the Union, involve tho country in a bloody civil war, who was a leading member of thc Secession Convention, mid afterwards a distinguished General in thc Confederate ar my, hurling bis command agnin.-t the United I States forces in a hundred bloody fields of bat- j tie, is not disfranchised, unless ho had pre viously taken an oath to support thc Consti tution of tho United States ! Thcro ure many tUtttaucoB of this character which might bo mentioned, showing the injustice and folly of this disfranchisement. lt is believed that j neither G?n?rais Beauregard, ll ill, Magruder, ; nor General Leo himself, the illustrious com- ! mnuder-in-chief of the Confederate forces, is ' disfranchised. But tho humble Union mag istrate, who relieved tl o distresses of n son or friend in thc Confederate a: my is disfran chised 1 I There is not the remotest ho, cor probabil ity of thu Southern States bei nu reston d to the Union till after tho next Presidential cloe- ' lion. Why. then, shall wo voluntarily de lirado ourselves, and give up our doun-ht pol cal rights for a delusion i if dishonor must como, do not embrace it. ll wc arc to wear manacles, h t them be put on by our tyrants, not by uuiAulvt'ft. If a mun threatens to kick you, self respect would forbid your exposing your person to him and asking him to kick you at. i nco and bc done with it. We have lived already two years under military rule, in great poverty und distress, and have boen cheered all the time by lin consciousness that we are not a degraded, though a conquered, people. Wo can continue to live in the sallie way two years longer, or, if need be, ton yours; and feel a pride in knowing that we have maintained our honor, and made every effort possible to preserve our freedom and constitutional rights A mau who fools thal lu; has dishonored himself, is lost j and so it is with a people. Let ils live quietly and peaceably, attend ing (diligently to our various vocations ill lift - obeying patiently thc powers that tie; but never think of voluntarily voting away our rights as a State or nur honor and freedom ns men. Let us trust in returning senso of jus tice on the part of our oppressors, which .soon er or later must come. Have patience, for bearance and long suffering.
