Wc plucc boforc our. readers a .synopsis of the "Declaration of Rights and Form of Gov ernment as the Constitution j of the Common wealth of South Curolina." It is worthy Of n coreful perusal; and, did our space- pormit, wc would insert tho document in full. It proposoB Tadical chnnges in our system of government, and'thosc changes, for the most pavt, arc de cidedly for tho worse. " Wc arc indebted to the Charleston Daily News for. the synopsis, which wo commend to the attention of nil: The existing constitution of the Stato is pro posed, to be materially changed, both ns regards matter, and arrangement. First, it is set forth that "all men are born free and equal;'' se cond, that slavery shall not hereafter exist; tliird, that power is vested in and derived only from the people; fourth, that the doctrine of j States rights is forever dead and buried; fifth, that under no pretext shall another attempt be made to dissolve the Union; ond, sixth, that nil citizens shall possess oqunl civil and politi cal rights.' ;' 1 ' ' ? Then follows a scries of'provision's' - descrip tive of the rights and public privileges of per sons. Among tl, esc provisions, it will'be no ticed that hcreuftor po person shall be inipris ouod for debt, and that a homestead shall be exempted from seizure or sale, i Private and corporate property is-to bo inviolate, yet laws may bo made securing right of way oyor loud* of cither'persons or corporations for jmrpoBcs of internal improvement, but a just compensa tion, in all cases, is first to Be made to the owners. Whoever prepared the [.document before us has evidently had a kecu eye to tho probabili ties of future stay-Jaws, for, in section 20, it is expressly provided that the power of suspend ing the laws ought never to be exercised savo by the legislature, or the authority derived fromit. Care is tiiken al?o that neither ,the legislative, nor the executive, nor the judicial department of the government, shall in any wise trench upon the functions and powers of] tho others. Another provision, which would materially change tho habits and customs of our people, is that which prevents any individual who shall fight n duel, or Bond or n'ccopt'n chal lenge, or is in any way concerned in fighting ti duel, front holding any office of honor or trust in the State, besides making him liable to such other punishment as the law piay prescribe. One of the worst 'features of the .proposed constitution is, perhaps, tho clause which pro vides that no property qualification shall be necessary for an election to or the holding of any office. The evil influence of bribery, tumult and im proper conduct in elections is guurded against; and no office is to be created, the appointment to which shall bo for a longer time than during good behavior. All navigable streams are to bo. publjo highways, free to the citizens of tho United Stutcs, without any imposition of tax or toll, and no owner of a wharf, erected on the Shores of a navigable stream, is permitted to charge for the use of the said wharf, unless ex pressly authorized to do so by the legislature Tjuo judicial power' is vested in a Supreme Court, in two Circuit Courts?to wit: a Court of Common ?Plena having civil jurisdiction, and Court of General Sessions having criminal ju risdiction only?and in District and Probate Courts and Justices of the Peace. The Su preme Court is to consist of three judges, who arc to be elected by the General Assembly for tho term of six years, and so classified that one of th? judges shall go out of office every two yonrp, the judgo holding the shortest term of office tinder this clapsificnlion to be the Chief 'Justice during brc term of office. Tho article provides for filling nil vacancies that may occur, tho circuits which each judgo ?ball occupy, and thn j '.risdietjon which encty judge ?ball oxcrciso, Tim circuit judgo i,s to be oleotod by the people of his circuit, and shall ? hold office for* tho term of four years. The Courts of Common Pl?ns nro to sit in on eh j?didml district nt lomst twpo a yenr, and to have full jurisdiction in all matf/iraof equity. But tho courts now established for that purposo shall continue an nt present. organised until Jnliunry 1,' 18G1?, for tho disposition causos prnding'thorein. The Court of Govern) Ses sjojjs'jhall sit rd lea'di'lt'ee times n your for t}).< iL trial of criminal causes. ? Very important change i? embodied iu section 21, which pro vides for tho election by the people of each ju dicial district of threo persons who Bhall con stitute a district court, which shall have full jurisdiction ovor roads, highways,* ferries, bridges, and-all matters relating to taxes, and the local concerns of the district. A court of Probate is also to bo established in each dis trict, and the people aro to elect justices of-tho peace and constables, who may hold office for the term of two years. No person who has ar lived ut tho ago of seventy con be elected or continued, in office , ns u judge, and no judge shall charge juries in respect to matters of fact, but may state the testimony and declare tho law. .Necessary provisions aro also made for tho eduction of clerks of courts, an attorney general, one solicitor for each circuit, sheriffs, coronora, aud district surveyors. The entire legnl machinery of the Stato, with but. few exceptions, is to bo created by the votes of the peopl?. . It is provided that the General Assembly shall revile the civil nnd criminal luws of the State and form n penal code, and that this operation shall be repented every ten years. Tho form of pleudiug is to he made uniform, aud tho practice revised aud simplified. Tho Governor, in connection with two-thirds of each house of the General Assembly, may re move an}' executive or judicial officer for willful neglect of duty. The House of Representa tives is vested with the sole power of impeach ment, and any officer impeached shall be sus pended from office uutil judgment shall have been pronouuecd. All impeachments to be tried by tho Seuutc. Oar Charleston Letter. Charleston. February 7th, 1S08. The variegated collection of individuals who stylo themselves a Constitutional Convention, and, who, with a negru constituency, presume to represent the people of the Stute, is still on exhibition at tho Club House, nnd will proba bly continue the show for some time, Sundays excepted. Three weeks have alreudy elapsed si.uco the assoiubly aud organization of the body, but the specific purpose for which it was ordered is as yet entirely unaccomplished. The matter pertaining to the new Constitution are still being brooded over by several Commit tees, and will consume considerable more time, and elicit an amount of discussion before being prepurcd for presentation to the Convention, "/est/n? fcn/c" is just now the motto of the Radical SolotiK, and will probably continue to be the embodiment of their policy, so long as any ? bills receivable" arc left in tho vaults of the. State Trcusury, to be appropriated under the' $li,^m*r (htm and the 2<> cents mileage ordi naucp. The interest of our people in the conduct oi the groat political monstrosity as it drags its slow and slimy length along, has very much abated; and a feeling of, general indifference as to tho legislation of the pretenders, character ises our community. Few arc disposed to echo Govornor Orr's opiniou, thut the Constitution, choseu by tho Convention, will long have tho force of law ; and the satires and criticisms of the Mercury nrc therefore extremely popular. The. Constitution adopted will, in its niaiu principles, be thoroughly Radical though to popularize it some liberal provisions will proba bly be incorporated. There is but little duubt that upon its sub mission to the registered voters of the State, it will, by the manipulations of the Union Len . gucs and Radical Emissaries among tho ne groes, be ratified. Tho election, however, will probably bo much more exciting than the last, and some of our papers arc urcing the whites everywhere to organize into Democratic clubs nnd associations and unitedly and exclusively to oppose the de facto establishment of the ne gro government. The advice deserves thought ful consideration, and should receive it. To my own mind it seems plain that tho dangejs to be encountered during the interval between the election, aud tho downfall of radicalism nt Washington, will bo best meet by a general or ganization of whites. In Union there is strength. Theodore O. Rirrkcr Esq., during the ?rar a Major on General "\Vndo Hampton's Staff, and now a prominent member of the Rar here, lsst week, iu the Court of Sessions, delivered a most able nnd eloquent protest age unit the despotism now imposed upon us, receiving the sanction of our State Judges. Major Barker was by appointment of the Court, tho Counsel of Jenk ins, the negro sentenced to be hung for the murder of Mr. Rranford and reprieved seve ral times by General Sickles. His ablo effort was called forth by u motion of the Attorney General for the renppointment of a day for the prisoner's execution. The mo tion w;t)i rusUted on the ground that the acting Shpriff, hay;ng boon appointed under order of Gcj). Canby, was nof> qualified to execute a pri soner. In his speech with a fervor and elo quence which electrified Ids auditors |ju criti cised the military government erected over us, nnd scathingly satirized that policy, winch, for tho sake of expediency, would endorse it. Jmleo Moses disregarded the protect, and do forin all tho functions belonging to his office. Notice of an appeal has been given, and 'the I question will thus be brought before the chief judicial tribunal of the State. DELTA. P.
