'?y"> [From tho GroouvlUo Mountaineer.] What Ought We To Do About R?ooustruo tion Jur Editor : I have been naked by several persons to express my views upon this ques tion. As I bavo visited the North several times si nco the war, I have liad some oppor tunity ot' judging tho feeding of (hut people. I. am eeitain that they luve no disposition lo keep up agitation, a:id would as gladly soo peaceable timon as we. Hut they feel that they have gained the victory, and .?ru resolved not to lose its fruits from any squeamishness about tho Constitution or the rights of Stales. Their success has made t1, : Constitution vir tually :i dead letter upo., all such questions - The party of Congress has not only had tho majority, but has been continually on the in crease. Moro than this, large numbers, cVcn of their opponents, have thought it tho widest course wc could pursuo to make tho best terms possible, it was on account of my knowledge of these facts that I ur?od, in a quiet way, upon tho members of thc State Legislature ami the lO.vcutive the adoption of tho con stitutional ame ailment rejected last winter. 1 way satisfied that it was the best wo could do; nod while I regretted as much as any tile disfranchisement of able and prominent men, 1 felt assured that it wa? no dishonor to us to alloW it nuder auuh pressure, and that all of tba: class, who were truly patriotic, would willingly see. themselves Kaeriliccd rather than tho State destroyed. Tin- Legislatures, how ever of all the Southern Sutes, rejected this amendment. In consequence td' this action, Congress has made more stringent terms ; yet, even boro they have not gone tis far as they could have done, nor as f ir as they will ?Uroly gQ if these terms uro not uooepted. What prevented thom, in r'euortsl ruc ti tig Cte State, from recognizing only such voters tis could take ?the Test Oath r Had this boon done, not ! more than one-fiftieth of the white males ol ! the Stato eould have voted. Under their . present plae, forty-nine out of 6fty can du so. : Were the Convention to be constructed upon such a vote, thc colored voters and the loyal whites Would have absolute power, and .d.sulutt! po.Yer is always apt to be used for oppression, Heavy taxes could be laid upon the lauds ol I the Stato-which are almost universally in th< ! hands of others. liven a tax of one fourth,ol ! one half, their value might ho exacted ; anti j the funds thus raised, divided among luya ; men by pensions, bouuth'S and other dona ! tions. In this way only can confiscation conn J -not from thc Congress, but front the Slat? ! Legislature. j Tho men who advocate that nothing shouhi : be done ; no registry made; no votes polled no effort attempted to .secure a due pottioti < : ' authority and power in tho Convention, ar? j simply urging upon the State to place, ou hot own shoulder'the burden which Congress Inn I yet declined to impose. If we follow those I who Would register ai.d Vote for meiubetsu thc Convention, but would vote against hold lng the. Coinctilion, not only will we be kop under military rulo, hut Congress will bc ex lisporated, and tho worse terms I havespoket of will surely, be. tinnnsed Certainly ??? eau desire either such terms or the eontmu anco ol thc present state of affairs. A mill tary despotism must be oppressive, howevo tho parties in power may desire to do what i right. Tho property of no man is safe, r many have already found in the past Th safeguards of personal liberty ure removed ithd any man may, et the caprice of even tin subordinates of the Coiniuautling General, Ix east into prison, ami kept there for un inderi nile period. It is useless to Pay we have nt ?odie?lions of such notion now. The eflor of the military, at present, is to conciliate. Iijt them know that oonoiliat.ii n is spurned and let tho public opinion of thc North tie , clare that wc deserve no morey, and wc sha! ! get none. As far as the action of Con<jrcs is concerned, if we yield to their presen scheme, the Republican party must admit th South, or it will lose its power with I he poe ! plo. Indeed, they are virtually pledged to d j this. Tho Republican leaders dare tint fae ; public sentiment on the issue of refusal to nd j mit us then. Hut if they meet next wintoi ami wc have failod to accede to the terms ol j fered, is it to be supposed that they will yitdd or that they will allow South Carolina alone j or with others, to viand as a protest agni ns ! their alleged usurpations i Uart'?in ly not when, hy putting tho power of the State, ii : the hands of mon who hr.vc been ever loyal j almostnll tho whites will do as they m?y ehoos to dietate. j Thus it appears to ino, that either by supin I indiderence, to' Ly opposing thc holding of ? j Convention, we. will bring upon tho whites o j this State an entire loss of that amount o political power which is still left to them - Following upon this will como, not confisca timi from Congress. l??* J",''"*'**; JVoni n Had i .?.a. UI.HU legislature, which will be litton i merciless-and until this conics, a despotism ! must be endured-such as our race has neve submitted to for neatly two hundred yours j one which even le ives the life of every one o j us-the moM innocent and virtuous-at th j wi!! of two irresponsible men. Looking a ? tho matter calmly and dispassionately, I mi suro that wc aro at a mod criden! point of nt fairs. If wo act not wisely, a!' is lost. ?VI' j ad vico to all who ask it, is to register ns BOO! as possible-to wait until tho registration i effeotcd and tho election ordered, before p!edg ing yourselves to any candidates-mid then ti select the best men you nan, and hy votin] " Convention" on the tiokct, require them ti meet and savo us, if possible, from our pres cut evils. If wc act thus, 1 am satisfied wt have nothing to fear (rom votes or other net mi of the colored peoplo among us, for I am sun that they foci kindly towards all who will den with them justly and fairly, and none olher? fthould bc sent to the Convention.
