The amendments to their State oonstitotioos, wbioh bare been adopted by many of their conventions so reluctantly, under the pressure of dispatobes from the President and Secretary of State, should be ratified by a majority of their people. We all know that but a small portion of their . voters participated in the election of delegates to these conventions; and nearly all, if not. all, of the conventions have declared them in force without a ratification of the " people. When this crisis has passed can they not tarn aroand and say that these were adopted under duress, by delegates elected by a meagre vote, under Provisional Governors and military authorities and never ratified by a popular vote 7 And could they not turn our own anti-Lecomptou ar* gnment against us, and insist, as we did, that a constitution not ratified by the people may-have legal effect, but no moral effoot Kktovar 9 Third. The President has on all occasions insisted'that they should elect Congressmen who ooold take the oath prescribed by the aot of 1862; but in .defiance of this, and. insulting to the President and the oooptry, they have, in a large majority of instances, voted down mercilessly Union men who oonld take the oath, and .elected fe those who boasted that they oonld not, f would not, and woald feel disgraced if they eonld. Without mentioning names, one I gentleman elected in Alabama by a large majority declared, in his address to the people before the election, "that the iron pen of history would reoord the emancipation act as the most monstrous deed of cruelty that ever darkened the aunals of any nationand another one, who avowed that he gave all possible aid and comfort to the rebellion, denounced the Congress of 1862 hs guilty in enaoting snob an oath. The South in filled with meo who. can take the oath. It declares that "I have not voluntarily taken part in the rebellion." Every oousoript in the Southern army can- take the oath, because be was forced into the ranks by the oonsoription act, and every man who stayed at home, and refused to. accept a civil or military offioe, could take that oath. But these were not the ohoioe of the States lately iu. rebellion Fourth. While it must be expected that a minority of these States, will oherisb for * years, perhaps, their feelings of disloyalty, the country has a right to expect that be* - fore tieir members are admitted to share io the government of this conn try a olear majority of the people of eaeh of these States should give evidence of their earnest and cheerful loyalty?not by sooh speeohes as are so common^ that they submitted the issue to the arbitrament of war?that they are willing to stand by and fight for the flag of the country against all its enemies at home or abroad [Applause.] The danger now is in too much precipitation. Let usratHer "make haste slowly," aoctwe cm then hope that the /ouodations of our government, whan thus reoonetracted-oa the basis of indisputable loyalty, willbe as eternal as the stars. [Applause] Id President Johnsou I have unshaken oonfidenoe. I cannot forget that in the Senate, atr the opening of the rebellion, he was the only Southern Senator who denounced it and its originators?"faithful among the fe faithless found."

Nor can I forget hie speech, when Military Governor of Tennessee, to a mass meeting of the colored men of Nashville, in which he deolared that "he desired that all men should have a fair start and equal chance in the race of life, and let him snooeed who has the most merit." Yon all remember his speech to the colored regiment of the District of Columbia, when he repudiated that stereotyped declaration, "that this is a white man's country alone," and insisted that it was theirs also. You remember, also, his remarks to the South ^Carolina delegation, . "that the.only right system was to proteot all men, both white and black, in -their persons and property, and that if they get principles right, details and collaterals would follow." We all remember, too, his earliest dispatohes to these Southern conventions, his setting aside the Richmond eleo tioos when a disloyal Mayor and Common Counoil were ohosen, and that he has sign ed the death-warrant of every one whp has been convioted of conspiracy.

Oar beloved martyr President leaned apon it in the darkest hoars. It stood by the national cause unfalteringly. It voted down the Chicago platform, whioh declared the war to be a failure, and which demanded a cessation of hostilities. The people well plaoed, the whole power of the " Government in its haods?-Execative. Legislative and Judicial?and re-affirmed it bythe brilliant victories of this fall. Let as emulate the example of its friends in all the States; let us study unity in the light of duty, and I believe that the Executive and Legislative departments of the Govormneot, when they oompare views together, will cordially co-operate in the great work before as all', and so act that the foundations of our Union, wisely and patriotically reconstructed, shall be eternal as the ages. With a hearty acceptance by the South of the new situation, I rejoioe to believe that under a svstem of paid free labor, and respecting the rights of freemen, it will go forward in a career of prosperity, wealth and progress, unparalleled in its previous bjstory. It has a more genial dime than we have in the odder North?a wider range of productions?for it has ootton, tobaoco, rice and sugar, which command such high prioes now in the markets of the world, and it has boundless water power almost entirely unimproved. Kid now of the shiftless system of slave labor, it will, with its loins girt anew, rival as in the race .of prosperity. In conolusjon, I can but echo the words of our martyre'd President, in his last inaugural on the steps of the Capitol: "With malice toward none ; with charity for all; bat with firmness to do the right, as God gives ns to see the right," and all will be L . well. f Prom the Greenville Mountaineer.

Geo. L. Stearns: Respected i Friend : I now answer vonr inaairies made in a letter of the 5th instant, in regard to our laborers of last year and this. Last year we employed 25 men, 21 women 16 boys and four girls?total 66. This year 25 men, 23 women, 21 boys and 4 girls?total73. Last year one wss disI oharged ; this year two, a boy and girl.? The one of last year is working for us now, i a good hand. Of last year's bands fifty ! have continued to work for us this year, one 1 is disabled (we are maintaining him), part | of the remainder have rented land and i raised a good.orop. Most of the residue | have offered to work for us. I refused to ! take them. We have invariably paid in J full once every month, in oatton-pioking ! semi-monthly, having at that time some ex1 tra hands. This year we pay for cottou it?i ~i?imkw^riaf? -* picking one cent per poaod. They board themselves. As to wages, last year we paid men 910 per month, and a ration worth 36 j women, 38, and a ration worth the same; boys, 33 to 36, and a ration In proportion ; in addition, a patch of cotton under oar own management, which netted at the rate of 340 to each fall hand; We pay this year, to men 312t and a ration worth 98 ; women, ?8 to $?, ration $r>; noys, tHtociu, proportionate ration; in addition, a ootton patch which will nett $16 to $20 to foil hand.? Some commote the ration for money. To four or five, extra good men we pay $18 to $20 ; in addition, we find hoase, gardenpatch, and foel, and famish most of the medioine needed. A few are energetic, industrious and economical ; five-sixths have worked steadily and indostriously, and are, in nearly an equal proportion, economical, though the industry and economy of the black man is not of the same kind as that of the Northern .white laborer. ^No work can be got out of them Saturday afternoon. Most Northern persons, on close acquaintance, exclaim at their ingratitude ; I Gall it intense selfishness. Nor have we more than half a dozen tbat won't steal, and from us as readily as from any one else. They are not so tradable this year as last, and it takes more watching takeep them at work, though not more than Northern laborers of the same olass. Now tbat the war is over, they iodine to rent lapd to work "on shares." Hoping the above may be of use to you and satisfactory, I am, respectfully, yonrs, ABNER M. WOODWARD. The Confederate Colony in Mexico. ?The St Lonis Republican learns from a gentleman who lived formerly in Lexington in this State, something of the prospectB of the Confederate colony which is being es tablished in-Mexico. The one to which he belongs, and .to which he will return, as soon as he can dispose of oertain property in this State, lies near Cordova, a town on ?aaJ /)??nIn kafnann Vawa Pi-nT on/) vuu iuau uiicuujf uci/wotu i via viua ouu the city of Mexico, and about a hundred miles from the former place. It consists of about a doztn large baoiendas of apparently good land, capable of producing cotton, coffee, coooa and tobacco. This land will be given to the settlers by tbe Emperor's Government, in parcels of six hundred and forty acres to families, and in smaller allotments to single men. Sterling Price, Geu. Jo. Shelby, Ex-Governor Harris, of Tennessee, and Judge Perkins, of Louisiana, were there at the time of his departure, with other proposed settlers of less note.? Lieutenant Maury, formerly of the Naval Observatory at Washington, was also there,, and actively- engaged in furthering the scheme by drawing up a report to be circulated in tbe Southern Ssates with a view of induoiug partief of colonists to cou e over and join them. , The work of tilling the soil bad not been fairly commenced, and woald be postponed until there, was a suitable aocession to their numbers. This they expected to obtain in reasonable time through the m?<3ia?r of; Maury's report, and the influence of the newspaper which ex Governor Allen,' of Louisiana, has commenced publishing in the city of Mexico. Maximilian, our ini formant thinks, is.seoure enough on his throne, provided the Monroe doctrine be not broadly asserted by tbe United States. The armed resistance of the liberals will' soon be overoome, and.the opposition to him be confined to the Church party alone.?? This opposition, however, is not apt to take' the form of a revolution, inasmuch as the Liberal party first confiscated the Cburoh property, and Marimiliian's offence consists 'only in refusing to restore it. Louisville Journal. The Currenoy.?National Debt. ' The premium at which gold now sells ! for the ourrency of the country is, as a co; temporary remarks, attributable, in a great degree, to an idle doubt on the part of the masses of the people that the oational debt will be repudiated and never paid. This doubt is enoouraged by designing and artful men that know better, bat who anticipate realising immense fortunes, by speculating on the currency and imposing on the ignorant, whose fears they are active in ex citing. The ability of the country to pay the national debt is beyond any doubt, and that in comparatively a brief period, when we oonsider how European Governments have paid theirs. If peace prevails, and the nation is inv.olved in no foreign "war? it will not be, we are snre, in a domestic one?ten years will not expire before the debt will cease to be onerons to the people. Wealth, population and resources, not yet, but daily being developed, will insure this. There is no such country in the world, and it oan endure burdens no other nation can. We look upon the efforts being made to impair confidence iu the national onrrenoy as. wicked in the extreme. The intelligence of the people, we trast, will save tbejp from being farther imposed upon by those who -propagate-the idea that the nation's debt will not be paid?thus.causing the depreciation of the national currency, and raising tbe value of every commercial and agricultural commodity. I?* Tbe Philadelphia Ledger speaks thus of the views expressed by tbe Radicals of the North in reference to this State : r South Carolina having ratified the oonsti; tutional amendment prohibiting slavery, ; the partisan journals are making note of it i as a wise prooeeding, and one likely soon to be followed by a sufficient 'fiumbir of j other Southern States to make up tbe fall I number of tbe twenty-seven neoessary for i its adoption. We think it -wise, too, and believe that other States will do likewise. ; Bat it is somewhat siagalar that the jour| nals which deem the new State Govern| ment of South Carolina sufficiently legal to ! act upon so important a matter as a change in the Constitution of the United States, do not oonsider it sufficiently re-established to transact sach minor business as the elec: tiou of Senators and Members of Congress. : If South Carolina is so far restored to the i Union that her aotion upon this amendment ! is conclusive and binding as the aot of a j State, it is hard to see why her other acts r are net legitimate also. A few weeks 8go, j it was thought to be quite improbable that the Legislature oofld be brought up to the necessary aotion in this matter. Now tha the State baa done what is right and prop er, it is bat jast to say that her obarige c feeling and aotion ie almost exclusively do to the warm, impressive and patriotic ap peals constantly made to the Governor, Leg islatare and people by President Johnson They are among the most eloquent of hi MM/] AA UJMM ' |/?vuuwiuu(?j auu uv viquii tru uiui aa 4 statesman and as a citizen.

L Vallandigham visited Eaton, Ohio, nigbi before Hast to transaot some business. Al soon as it became generally known that h( was in the little town, a rumor beoame prevalent that he was there for the purpose ol making a speech. It happens that the peo | pie of Eaton are very much opposed to Mr VaDabdighaai personally, and the idea o; his making a speech in their midst so ex asperated a lot of the yonng men . ol the place that at early candlelight they visited the place where he was ^toppibg and made a iond oal! for bis appearanoe. Urn derstanding that trouble, was in store foi him, Mr. Yallandigham made a hasty exit from the -bouse, and pursued his retreai through fields and over fences in the direction of the depot, running at thetop-of hh speed, followed hj angry and excited mob of boys and young men, one of whoa struck him a severe blow and knocked him to the ground while he was getting on the train. Extraordinary Dinner Party.?A New York correspondent of the Indianap olis Journal says: A queer party sat "down to dinner the other day at Delmonico's, embracing Afex 'ander H. Stephens, Horace Greeley, Rogei A Pryor, Theodore Tilton, (of the.lnde pendent), John H. Reagan, ex Postmastei General of the Confederacy, Oliver John son, editor of the Anti-Slavery Stand-ard{ and Henry Ward Beecher.

Ji -* The late rebellion threw men into Strang* positions, bat I do Dot think u greater va riety of discordant elements ooald have beet assembled together, than was in that cote rie.
