-Tho Amita City Times says it knows from un?
doubted authority that a grand conclavo of ne?
groes from the Parishos of East Feliciana, E-.st
Baton Rouge, Livingston aud St. Jlolcnu met in
tho Western part of the first-namci1 Parish on the
14th and 15th of last month, "to arnaud the Bible
to snit the views and ideas of the newly enfran?
chised." The Times got its information from a
negro preacher, who said to tho editor, "unless
the white people do something for them tho ne?
groes aro doomed."
-lt ia a singular tact that ladies who know how
to preserve anything else, can't preserve their tem?
pers. Yet it nifty ouMly bc done on the self-sealing
principle. It is only, to keep the mouth of tho
vessel #%htly clewed.
[FOB THE DAILY N
* THE CONVENTION.
?j Tho oloction is now ordered, and tho timi
preaching when tho Stato will pass thron
of tho most impDrtaut crises that will ever

will vote upon that occasion may bc accept
all who aro willing to discard prcjudico an

If any one can sec a possiblo advantage to

who have thc power in their hands will not

that eau Alarm tho Republican party ? Tb
ronlier ol' General Lee settled tho argumc
"forco" forever, aud ii force cannot be cmj
what will it avail to "quarrel" about issue

If the hr.po be, that tho recent election-; in
and Pennsylvania exhibit the growth of Sou
opinions in Northern latitudes, bear what i
by a Charlcstonian, now in Now York : "I
many of our people will concludo that the I
of thc late elections in Pennsylvania and
will bo of great service to them. 8uch a he

again," ?Sec.
This is from the pon of a soldier and a c
headed Southerner, who has watched eli
every passing event as bearing upon the c
tions of the day, and his opinion is that it w
be "idlo" to expcot any encouragement from
Democratic party in any of tho issues now p

among Southern pooplo, in order to reanim?te
fos ils that have boen buried so deeply by the

cruel Btrifo upon the very issues which havo b

This need not be our fato, unless all the cou
?ls of prudence aro blindly rejected, and tl
ferocious impulses of wild boasts of tho forest 1
accepted insterd. Thoro is a time even for thc

do-ovory one feels this-thc soutimcut is unive
sal- but nevertheless, tho duty is the samo. Tl
loser hos no right to withhold unythitig, and 1
docs not properly recognise hie situation, if 1
attempts to clo so. It has not been dcmandei
however, for tho winner has not only surrend? e
hiB right to our lands, but has invited us to forgi
tho past, and accept all tho rights of citizens!"
which ho enjo) s himself.
Secondly. Ii thc disagreeable altornativo of nogi
auftrage is made a condition, it is because we ri
fused to accept tho Howard Constitutional Amone
ment, under which wo might havo boen rostore
to tho Union without that condition. For th!
purpoBO the negro vote ia a "necessity"and cannc
be disponsed with ; whatcvor may bo the futui
policy it is evident that that vote, on the proser
occasion, is simply a locomotivo, placed upon tb
track in order to draw in tho Southern Statos t
their places in the Union, which they refused t
accept upon terms offered that wore far loss ot
jectionable.
In tho third placo. When starvation throatonc
tho people, all classes of society at thc North rc
membered tho suffering South, and ship-load aftc
ship-load of corn and bacon were generously sen
for our relief, at a time, too, when the eons am
daughters of the generous donors wero exclude?
from thc social circle by mat y of those who wer
benefittcd by the consignments. If thoso are ou
enemies where shall wc find our friends ! Au?
this too, with a knowledge that wo had shot thei
fathers, brothers and sons, in such numbers tba
their gi-avcs would mako a city of thc dead ; am
whilst hundreds ol the survivors with ariputatO(
anns or legs, or bodies othorwiso maimed, wen
constantly before thoir eyes, calling upon thc vul
gar mind for vengoanco only. \Yo ought not ti
concedo to thom a prc-euiinence in ibo God-lik
virtuo of forgivonoss, but knowing that wo havi
much to forgive ourselves, wc should meet then
in a Bimilar spirit, and, liko brothers willing to bi
reconciled, place om1 mutual sacrifices on acorn
mou altar and invoko tho Divine blessing upon ou:
humble efforts to efface and retrieve the unfortu
nate past.
Foin thly. This conciliatory spirit will achievi
for tho South far more tlmn that il ?-temper, whicl
can only start the avalanche, without tho power l<
arrest its destruction. What can wc poBsibli
gain by eontinually annoying ths Northern mind
and provoking it to tighteu the cords by which w<
are already bound ? But meet them in a spirit o
cordial reconciliation we will find our protectors
whore they arc now coiistraiuod to be dictators
providing for their own safety by depriving thos<
who seem to bo hostile of thc power of doing au}
moro harm. Lot thom bo assured that tho Soutl
intends to lmrmonieo cordially with the North, auc
one by one tho knots now complained of will bc
untied, and the eamo power that lins oxerlcd it
Bolf 60 fearfully for evil wUl henceforth be exortec
iu offices of valuable friendship.
The flr?t step to be taken in this new and de?
sirable direction, is to cole fur the Convention!
Make it as respectable as possible, and lot its pro
ccedings conform to tho model prepared by Con
gross. If any dclcgato introduces other matter,
foroign to thc logitimato business of thc Conven
tior, or if it shall appear that its proner function?
have boon unwisely pcrvertod to improper ends,
tue only remedy is with that Congress, which maj
contain enemies or friends, just as thc pooplo may
choose to make them, ono or tho other. If they
entitle thomaclvos to tho protection ol Congress,
by a hearty acceptance of tho terms ottered, there
ia not a reasonable doubt that the Constitution
will bo purified and mado entirely acccptablo to UH
before that Congress will impose it upon those
whom they wish to piotcct. Fortunately, no wild
schemes that may bo introduced t heroin by vision?
ary delegatos will beconio tho law of this State,
until they havo boon approved at Washington; and
all may see clearly that thero is no protection for
the South, oxcopt what ie to be found in the confi?
dence that has boen inspired there. Thie, then,
is tho work beforo us, and it is worthv of thc most
active and hosest exertions.
For if tho South over riacs from its ruins, North?
ern capital and genius aud energy must bc the in?
struments employed in its resuscitation. At pres?
ent they aro all driven away by tho cold rccoption
that has boen extended to thom herotoforc. All that
they want is a hearty wolcome, and they will come,
but not otherwise; and that welcomo they ought
to have. Wc are a homogeneous people-the joint
hoirs of thc same hciitago of natioual greatness
anil glory. Tho people of tho North have already
distinguished them sol vea in all tho walks of sci?
ence, civilization end progress-their comruerco
whitens every ocean, and their locomotives arc now
dashing overland through the homo of tho buffalo
and the Iudian, to scale thc peaks of thc Bucky
Mountains aud bsstow thc vitality of arterial cir?
culation aliko upon Maine and upon California.
Who is thcro that is not willing to unito his des?
tiny with the futuro of such a pcoplo and to claim
all thc extraordinary powors thoy havo displayed,
both in peace and in war, as tbeir own?
Now, for such as aro willing to seize tho oppor?
tunity as it passes, the timo has como. If you
have lost much, you will only loso moro by a con?
tinual growl. Awake to tho realities of tho times,
ard conform yourselves to tho situation which ycu
cannot ctoapc ! Presidont Johnson's revolution
will reach you, first, for you aro hero without
friends and without arms, and will attract the
hostilo no:icc of thoso who may think it necessary
to remoro thc allies as well as attack thc enemy.
Tura which way you will, tho power of tho Repub?
lican party has to bo confronted-at this power
tho whole nation has stood appalled-but lt is
yours, if you will have it. Chooso now, for tho
last time, whether wo shall all march onwards to?
gether as friends and brothors to a glorious desti?
ny in thc future, or turn once moro to the busi
ness of wholesale butchery ! On tho one haud
peaco, happiness and prosperity invito; on the
other, starvation, death and suffering await you.
Which w ill yiu chooso ?
Finally, the writer docs not despair that tho
forco of thea ? considerations wilt reach thc minds
of some who will particularly examine thom.
Much haB appeared in tho public prints calculated
to excite tho mind against thc Convention now
about to bo hold, whilst very few have been willing
to encourage tho pcoplo in tho adoption of a
policy, tho advocacy of which is calculated to at?
tract odium. If thoro bc any truth in tho views
hero presented which thc people ought to know,
whatever odium may bo excitod in tho attempts to
placo it before them, is a matter of very small con?
sequence. They ought to know precisely whore
this voto will place thom. If thoy could l.avo
found a friend in I860 who would havo told thom
frankly whero secession would place them, they
would havo been saved all the toils and suffcriug
they havo since endured. Tho rovorso of tho pic
turo was never shown to them-all such matter
being excluded from the press-and they wore lcd
ou, step by step, to Lho precipico, blindfolded,
and then pitched over ! The very uain-j thing is
about being enacted over again. If tho peuple can
remember tho past, Burely thoy will bo wiso for
tlie future Unless they havo thc powor to "forco"
tho Ropublican party from t'.ie plan of reconstruc?
tion, thou, upon overy reason that ought to infin
enco sensible mon, they should go with it, and re
storo tho State to tho Union; aud this can only be
dono by voting for a Convention !
Ti ue. thcro is much in the plan proposed whioh
is unpleasant to tho Southern pcoplo, and it is but
natural that many of them should oxpress them?
selves in strong terms ; and no ono would expect
thom to "writhe with graco, or groan melodiously."
For those tho greatest charity will be demanded,
and should bo allowed, whilst others, who may
respect the sentiments, will not acknowledge it as
a rulo of action, but pretor to bo guided by thoso
convictions of tho understanding ffhfoh demand
reasons and not impulses as tho;r governing prin?
ciples. C. W. DUDLEY.

NEW YORK. Octobor 21,1867.
When, I infonn your readers that a basketful of
greenbacks, to thc pleasant lune of a thousand
dollars, was collected yesterday in fivo minutes in
tho large congregation in Plymouth Church, for
thc benefit of a worthy lady, ono and all will natu?
rally jump to tho conclusion that said worthy lady
i? nono other than the widow of the late Presidont
Lincoln, but thc jump woud lanld thom into a
pond of gravo error, for thc greenbacks woro for
another. Mrs. Pottor is thc namo of tho rocipient
of tho handsome donation, which followed hard
upon the eulogistic discourso of tiio oloquent
Henry Ward Beecher, who touched, at tho same
timo, tho hearts and pockot-nerves of his Hock.
Mrs. Pottor is a Charl estonian, and hor 6tory is
replete with pathos. At thc beginning of the war
hoi* husband, it is said, boldly avowed himself a
Union man, but instead of quitting tho rebellious
South and betaking himself to a moro loyal por?
tion of Uncle sam's dominions, ho and his good
lady remained in Charleston, and devoted them?
selves entirely to tho self-impoeod task of provid?
ing for thc wants and comforts of such Union sol?
diers aa woro so unfortunate as to bo capturod by
us poor rebolB. Tho good samaritans spont about
forty thousand dollars in tho charitablo cause, and
and had up to thia time received nothing back ;
but as one thousand dollars in healthy groonbaclrj
was collected for them yesterday, it may bo con?
sidered a fair set off to thc forty thousand in Con?
federate monoy, and Beecher has proven himeolf
to bo a first-rate oxchango broker. Tho labors of
tho good samaritans did not terminate with tho
war, for thoy havo, 'tis Baid, secured a largo spot
in Magnolia, whither aro to bo transferred tho
bodies ofthreo huudred Union soldiors now buried
in Pottorsfield. Thc new Pottorslield will bo sur?
rounded with an iron fence, and a suitable monu?
ment will be erected within the enclosure.
Tho eloctioii returns from Ohio, showing a majo?
rity already of sixty-five thousand and indicating
cvon a still moro emphatic prolost against tho ad?
visability of negro suflrago, has fallen liko a bomb?
shell into tho Radical camp hero, and thoro is a
groaniug and a gnashing of tooth-tho blaok freed?
man has already begun to assunio thc shapo and
proportions of a mammouth white elephant not only
in thc regions of Ure sunny South, but evon in the
very nursery and cradle of the Radical baby along
the shot es that lio, as runs the song, "Away down
the river of tho Ohio." Mr. Cbaso had gono over
home to seo to it that tho political gander Bhould
ho? the other way, but the gander hopped not os
ho desired, and tho chase was a gooso chase, and
failed completely.
A negro may, in some respects, be equal to a
white man, and is indeed much better in many in?
stances than his bleached brother, but people are
beginning, as poor Artemus waa wont to say, to
sec Hie thing in different1 lamps, and tho refrain ol'
the sons "a nigger is a nigger" has be en taken up
ag:iin evc-ii in the North, and will bo sung lill the
music thereof is encored by thc audience nf thc
world. Tho wise advice given to little Bo-Poop,
whose sheep had strayed away, I mean tho in?
junction to lot thom alone, may bc well tendered to
the Democrats ?it this crisis. Wo have simply to
wash our bands of this negro suTragu qm jtion
an ? loavo it to tho so-called friends of Sambo and
Pompey, who are already just as much disgusted
with tho dish as ia a w. ll fed quadrupod of tho ca?
nine species with a remnant of cold whortleberry
pudding.
A chango is fast coming over.thc spirit of every?
body's dream, and things in general, with our
dark brethren in particular, must oro long find
their lovel. Tho South will not boa St. Domingo,
and wo shall have a white man's governmont after
all.
General Sheridan has arrived here ag-in, and is
