Elution of our ?r Difficulties. ?;? TO THE EDITOR OF TBS P?8, , In recent numbera you ha#e^oslced the disturbed oondiUan of .feeling in thisState, and have correctly Indicated the causes of'it. And as, from these causes, it appears tome that aoUoa, In some form, must result, I have thousht it proper "to address yoa upon nae subject, and to indicate a policy which, If it be not the best, may serve, at least, the purpose of stimulating Investigation, and of stirring thought to the discovery of a better. It ls apparent that there is much anxiety among the white people of this State with re? spect to their fortunes, material and political, and apparent also that there ls Jost occasion for it Their material Interests are depr?jj?fJd; | labor ls unproductive; business 1B unsuccess? ful; estates are comparatively valueless;-taxes, with no reference to the just requirements of the pu?lic-*no respeot to our ability to meet them-more exorbitant than the most pros? perous people ever bear, are imposed qpon us. And to all ls added the conviction that we aro without political rights; that the govern? ment is in the hands of the negroes; that (hey are unfitted for that'office; that they are unin? structed In its duties, insensible of Its responBl- { bili ties; that they have every vice of legislation; that they are venal, capricious and corrupt, without the address or shame to conceal their vices; that,unfltted to govern themselves,, they are singularly unfitted to govern i>s,an'd -hat un? conscious of the wan ts of ?more elevated peo? ple, they are wlthort a sense Of obligationlo consult them. We Bee that, within the bool period of their authority, they have already changed the laws and forms to which we have been accustomed: they have -attempted, ?nd I attempt still, to further change -our domestic relations, and seeing that they are distinct from ?B in race'and many circumstances of | their condition, and particularly in-the fact that, they are without participation io the. apm mon property, we are impressed with, th con? viction that th ey must act upon that distinc? tion; that they must be instant la imposing burdens which they do not share; that their government must be, what some Alf them ad? mit it ls, a system of plunder organized, and that one of its most important objects must be to drive the present owners from their prop? erty, that they may tafee lt, and thus become the exclusive proprietors, as they are at pres? ent the rulers, of the State. And this condition, bad as lt is, ls little likely of natural causes to be changed. Toe negroes hold their power in virtue of thelrina Jorlty of thirty thousand votes,, and that ma? jority will not diminish. In this alone or all the Southern States does the negro much pre? ponderate, and In no other than Mississippi does he preponderate at ali. In all the other States, therefore, he will be under the re? straints at least of civil discipline, and tfiat, however imposed, will be sufficient to drive him to the license and the power in this. They must come from other Southern S tata?, therefore-none will co away, and the number will not diminish. That of the whites will -not laoroMoo. White men with reluctance will a?aUjMM nndn negra gci-aatnracnt-luiavuu m madmen only will come to lt; and Under Ute operation of aa'urar causes, therefore, the ne? grees cannot recede, the whites cannot ad? vance in numbers, and that majority of votes, the condition of their presen*, power lor an extended period, must continue. Nor is this condition to be defeated by any act of Congress. Party is but a process o? society. Society in this country ia radically D?mocratie. Democracy Is the paramount law o? its constitution, and at present the Repub? lican party is its process. The Democratic party can take the place only by appearing to be the fitter representative. But that lt cannot do by proposing in any place to limit the elec? tive franchise. And proposing therefore to limit that franchise in this State, it will never get to power. But in power lt could never make the limitation. Congress has no power to act upon domestic relations in a State. But li lt had, or if, without that power, it should, as under the Republican party, lt did so under? take to act, lt would be met, as the Republican party was hot, by the restrictions of* positive provision of the constitution. The fifteenth amendment prohibits ' the limitation of the elective franchise Ipr race, color or previ? ous condition, either by Congress or a State, and the Democratic party, therefore, must not only attain th power, bot It must attain to that power, both in Congress and the States of Ule Union, whicfi will enable lt to repeal a pro? vision of the constitution, before any act of Its Congress, in limitation of the negro franchise in this State, can have the force of law. Then even time must .elapse before there caa be a repeal of the amendment. During that time they must retain the power. With these con? ditions, lt ls not to be expected that Hie D?mo? cratie party can comply; it ls not to be expect? ed, therefore, that, under the Inspirations of I the Democratic party, Congress can restrict [ the franchise; it is not to be expected that, from the Republican party, such inspiration eau come, and it doe? seem clear, therefore, that neither of any natural cause,- nor of any act of Congress, will the negro majority be de? feated in this State. Audit would seem of coaseqnence that the negro government, preg? nant as it ls of ruin to the whites, must con? tinue. But certain as it may be that, under tile operation of natural causes, lt must continue, as certain is it that the white people of this State will not submit to it. If they would, they could not. It means extinction. White society in this State, without representation in the government, wiihoufc protection to pro - perty, would cease to exist, and If the white people should aspire to that exhibition of more than mortal patience necessary to en? durance of all the tortures of extinction, or madness, or despair, would nerve some arm to strike against the agency oi which it comes. And it Is to be questioned whether Lhere be not uow already the opening acts of that bloody drama. Agents and officers of this negro government have fallen,, others have been warned of dangers they Incur from contlnuace In their courses. A strange and mysterious pow? er would seem to have become developed ; an organizaron to some end connected with this issue seems to exist. It seems to be moved to no individual interest, inspired by no selfish purpose; and it ls to be questioned, therefore, whether the cause of the white race la this State has not now its votaries-^whether of tbs gloom of Impending calamity there has not been brooded the spirit to arrest or to resist lt, and to be questioned whether of this cause the negro gove.rnment.be not now lu the way of being practically ended, and the Suite in the way of being forced under military govern? ment, "which if it shall exclude the whiles per pe tuai ly from a participation. In the rights of self direction, will rest Impartially upon them, and if lt shall not favor,-will protect them at. least from the ills and evils of an adversary 'government ii . But, however certainly this violence must he the result of an inability to escape, hy other means, the ratoterable ills of such condition, it ls certainly to be deprecated if other means exist, sud It ls my opinion that they dpi It'll: my belief that there may be such modification o? the Oufl?tlttrtlo? of tala State as wiU give the white people BUCA . participation, in the government-as may express their, civilisation and protect their property. What that may be, It ls not neeeisary now to mqulre. A property and ' educational quauflcatlon upon' the elective franchle'e nijght be enough, or It' may be that a compact In more distinct rec? ognition of the races to concur in lt shall be necessary.. The form of compaet, however, is a matter of detail; the possibility of it is the important question, and I am convinced that -lt 1B possible. That the negro will voluntarily concur is not to be supposed, ir, upon the passage ol the reconstruction acts, we had entered with them into the formation of a constitution, it Is possible they would have concurred in such restriction. But tasting power, it is not to be expected that willingly they will give it up. But my belief is that there is a policy by which we can compel them, and, if so, lt were unquestionably best todo It We could not then enter on a brilliant career of prosperity or greatness. The negro, in my opinion, will heyer be an efficient laborer, and that society of whose population he may form a part will be impeded by him, and unequal in its pro? gress to other societies not so affected. But by such relations we may form a State capable of at least the ordinary ends of politi? cal society. We will have order, peace, the protection of property, the possibility of con? tinuance In the homes to which we are accus? tomed, and it were better to accept them. If not, we take but that which can be had by a war upon the negro race, and by that war- I Bee nothing ? to be gained. We might, doubt? less would, succeed, if let alene, but in victory there would be no cause of triumph. Our lives would be but wasted to the desolated state that would result But lt is not to be expected that the races here would be per? mitted to conclude the contest The general government of necessity would intervene. They would put bath under the restrictions necessary to the pnbHo peace, and although this itself would be sm -achievement, (from the evils of eur present condition, ntriltary authority, however severe, would be welcome, rf ft were the only refuge,) yet a State gov ern me nt, Justly regulated to the preservation of the rights and interests of all concurring under it, were certainly the best The evils of Democracy are not yet to the point at which we are authorized voluntarily to invoke dictatorial power. A fearful respon? sibility rests on those who Invoke force' un? necessarily to the arbitrament o? their for? tunes, and If there be the measure, therefore", that caa coerce such constitutional compact as < may be proper, and thus lead to a solution of our present troubles, we are Impelled by every consideration of, duty and of interest to adopt lt Such measure I.believe there is. Withouts breach of Ute peace or of law, I believe that the white people of this State^ln concert with.. ?w-*be cofieslon ^f-a/?ammon interestr???.! common danger, can stop" the wheels ol this government until lt shall admit them to their Jast participation in lt. And that measure, with your Indulgence, In another number, I will endeavor to present Crm?N. Hotel Arrlv?l?-1Iarch 35 and 30. CHARLESTON HOTEL. J. J. Oreen, New York; W. E. DaBell, Maryland; T. H.
