A recent demonstration at the North lias sent a thrill of horror through the heart of the nation. The "free nig? gers" of the great State of New York have solemnly declared "that tho re? construction policy of the President does not meet their approval, and that they have no confidence in An? drew Johnson. " Alas! alas! The President is in ah. agony of grief, and silffers'almost as acutely as Governor Pierpont is supposed to have done when a portion of the late negro Convention aLAlexandria agreed with the State Journal in de? claring that they were not his friends. It is feared that this terrible blow, if it does not drive the President and his Cabinet to some desperate act of self-destruction, will at least .force them to resign-but paralyzed as the nation now is by this terrible calami? ty,* t is impossible .tp say what will be done. This fearful misfortune fell upon the Administration and the South on thc22d of the present month-truly a very "black day" in our national history. The mortal blow to the policy of President Johnson was struck between the hours of ll a. m. and 3 p. m., on Friday last, at "Hanft's Myrtle Avenue Park," in the city of New York. The day was a very sultry one, and therefore well suited for a strong not to say "overpowering COLOBED Jum LBE," as the Herald terms it. Fierce, fragrant, firm and ferocious, "one thousand colored persons of both sexes" assembled on tho memorable day aforesaid to excommunicate the President of the United States. The procession was most appropriately formed with a t^squad of police, and a drum corps in front," and "Dr. Conover and Union League No. 2 in th? rear." Their order of battle was precisely like that of Napoleon's, the "savana and jackasses" having been "senf to tho rear. " About 2 o'clock p. m., the united forces of Sambo and Dinah made a fierce assault upon President Johnson. The attack was commenced by a picket line of drums and gongs, and the sarans and their companions in the rear raised a fear? ful clamor. One thousand Sambos and Dinahs then assailed President Johnson with great ardor, [as we make our "a's" and "o's" precisely alike, we hope "ardor" will not be spelt "od<ft" by the compositor, as the mistake would bc both natural and suggestive.] When it is recol? lected that day was a hot one,"we can well imagine the f?arful nature of that "charge of the one thousand." Their commander-in-chief, a person named Broom, swept tlie President f?re and aft like a broadside of grape. Amid loud and fervent ecstatic excla? mations of "Glory!" "Bress de Lord!" "Amen!" the aforesaid Broom de nojtoced the President as a "traitor" ano a coward. He also called him a dog "who barked bravely," but who did not bite the legs y f the secession? ists half as much as he, "Bro^m," wanted him to do. The aforesaid "Broom," [having doubtless upon many occasions star? tled impecunious passengers who were snugly stowed away in the shady places of a Hudson river steamer, by loudly ringing a bell and asking them to, "step up to the Captin's offis and settle, "J declared that General But? ler, -or somo one else, was ' 'ringing a bell in Massachusetts which would toll the death knell of eveiy traitor in the White House:" Having ex? terminated President Johnson, tho "colored jubilee" wound up with ' 're? freshments" and "a dance." < Phew ! # [Hichniond Times, 25/7/.

SnOT,-On Saturday last, a dreadful u-pparcniij nvu-i^.-^... ..^auix, ?with intent to kill, was made upon Dr. Theodore.Dehon and his son, Theo? dore Dehon, Jr., by negroes, while the former were* returning from their plantation at Ashepoo to Walterboro. We have hot received "full particulars of the assault, but learn that the as? sailants wore the former slaves of Dr. Dehon They were all armed, and fired several shots. The son was dan? gerously, and, it is feared, mortally wounded. Dr. Dehon received four shots, and, though severely wounded, is considered out of danger. Six of the negroes, including the driver of the plantation and his sou, haye been arrested. The cause of the attack was unknown. . Dr. Dehon is the son . of the late Bishop Dehon. ] Charleston Courier, 28///. A COLORED MAN* EXCLUDED FROM A STREET CAR.-Yesterday afternoon, as a car on the Belt Railroad (North Rivei") was passing along Battery Place, a colored man attempted to get on tho back platform, but was chiven off by the conductor. The colored mau then approached the front platform of the car, but ap? peared to change his mind, and did not attempt to get on. He then walked over to the sidowalk. Thc conductor, passing through the car, "said to tho driver: "Did you drive that - off?" The driver replied: "No; he did not attempt to get on, or I would;" and so the affair ended. ? MHETIXG OF NEGROES rs GLOUCES ? TER.-A meeting of negroes was held at Gloucester Court House, Virginia. a few days since. The prevailing Idea j with those in attendance was that they were to have lands given them. A letter to the Fredericksburg Era, says : "The agent of the Freedmen's Bu? reau also made a speech to them, say : ing that he wished to disabuse their j minds of the impression .that they j were to own lands except by purchase, j I hear that the negroes afterwards I called him a d-d 'seccsh,' and said they intended to report him." . Reliable information from East Tennessee proves that the?, young man Bal*>r, who ffaa hung by the mob of citizens and soldiers, was first assailed by Hall, whom he killed. The mob was the logical consequence of tho evil teachings of Gov. Brown? low. A spirit Of lawlessness and cruelty prevails in that section, and Gen. Stoneman declares that he can? not suppress it so long as it is encou ' raged by the Executive of the State. The negro soldiers have been "killing white persons, and have become so insolent in their bearing that even Gov. Brownlow calls for their removal. Bishop Whitehouse, of the Episco? pal Diocese of Illinois, some months since, prohibited the Rev. J. W. Cracroft from officiating at Grace Church, Galesburg, for the technical irregularity of not havrng presented his dismissory papers ?rom the Dio? cese of Ohio, and for political preach? ing. His congregation refused to give him up, and the Convention now in session at Chicago voted to expel theru from the Diocese. Ik is said this will be the subject of an appeal to the General Convention of the Epis Chnrch, which is soon-to meet at Phi? ladelphia. The Cincinnati Gazelle learns, on the most reliable authority, that the reports circulated by 'the Eastern pr?Ms relative to the speedy trial of J-ferson Davis and Chief Justice Chase's connection with it, are un? founded. It says the Chief Justice has very properly declined all confer? ence on the subjfect, and it is not at all likely that he will hold any court in Virginia or North Carolina until after Congress shall have had an op? portunity of legislating in regard to the circuits in the rebel States. A. woman in Newton, N. J., was lately saved from a violent death at the hands of her husband by her "waterfall.". He broke ? Springfield ??ifie over lier head because she would not glvo up her money. The barrel striking the mas? of hair at her neck prevented serious injury. Mr. W. H. Truscott, of Charleston, has been appointed by his Exceiiency Governor Perry, to - represent the State and tho interests of the people of the State at Washington, in ac? cordance with a resolution of -?be Convention, requiring au appoint-; nient to be mado to that effect. - ?

I publish thin card, bc cause the District is no large and the timi before the election so ?hort that I coub not, if I desired, canvas?! tho District. UT canvass were possible, however, I do no think it becoming or desirable In uv judgment, this is no time for a scramble fo office. It seems tome that no one proper ly impressed with thc solemnity of th? crisis, and tho delicacy and importance o thc duties to bo discharged, could seek th? position merely for the gratification of per sonal ambition. Far myself, I declare tha I have no wish but to servo thu State ' In 1788, South Carolina, through a con ventr?n of her people, became ono of th United States. Ste remained a rncniber o the Union until December, 1860, wdien through another convention of her people shcrepealcd tho Ordinance of 1788, seced cd from the United States, and with cer ' tain other sister States eoterod into anothe government; known as tlie Confedeq^ Government. We believed that wc had ft? right to secede a.n?t thaifour security fe quired it? exercis? in co-operation with on: Southam Misters. Sbuth Carolina, ?H 1852 proclaimed by solemn ordinance thc righ of secession. It iad long been the scttlet opinion of the State that she was sovereigi and entitled toaflthe rights of sovereignty She asserted self-government in order U secure her institutions and principles fron great evils, "believed to be imminent. Se cession was in th? nature of a proceeding quia limet. It war conceived in the spirit o self-preservation-not to injure others but to save ourselves, lt cannot be necessary to sav that lam cac of those who bclievi that it was an honest effort for honorable purposes. The United States Government denied the right of secession and wa^et war upon the Confederate States, whicl stood upon the defensive. t\ terrible wai of invasion and desolation followed, anc finally the Confederate States were over? whelmed by force of numbers and dissolved At the end of the war the*State of Soutl Carolina found the Confederacy broken up her citizens who survived the terribk ordeal exhausted and impoverished, hoi institutions destroyed, and the whole coun? try occupied by the military forces of the United States." Under these .painful cir? cumstances, the President ofTthc United Stat?s invited tho States lately composing ?the Confederacy to re-organize their gov? ernments and restore their connection with the Constitutum and Government of thc United States, upon certain coffilitioas, thc principal of which was an acquicscn.ee in the abolition of slavery, which had been accomplished by the i?ilitary authorities. Tho State..wisely in my iudgni?nt'respoud ed favorably to thc invitation. It is true that the mere issue of battle docs nut prove right any more than did thc obi "wager of battle;" but it does prove power which can? not be disregarded. A Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention of the people, which ha? lately 1 repealed the Ordinance of Secession, and by an arr?ele in tho State Constitution, recognized the abolition of slavery ?ind pro? hibited its re-establishment. By repeal? ing that of Secession, the Ordinance of 17ri>. through which South Carolina be? came a member of the Union, vas'ipso I facto.revived, and we are this day in the Union precisely as Nye became in 1788 and remained up to 18(H). We arc now in a very anomalous position. 'Relying upou the good faith and patriotic intentions of the President of tl* United States, we have done all that was required of us to restore our old relation.') to the ('(Institution and the Union; but still we i have not been received into fellowship at Washington. That important part of the plan of reconstruction remains yet to be accomplished. It is understood that a party will oppose thc President's plan of reorganizing the States alni giving to them equalify of rights, and will insist upon still farther despoiling and crushing thu States of thc South as conquered provinces. This "radical fanat ical party opposed our leaving thc Union, and now they oppose our return? ing to it. When we were in the Union, they abused us on account of slaven-. They waged war upon us because we fried to separate from them, and now that we ptt> j pose to return without slavery, they still ! object. In this emergency, the State needs the assistance of all her trite men. Much I remains to be done, and not the hast is to j secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic representation in Congress, to assist and ! forward the work of restoration which the j State ha? commenced. I arrogad! not to ; myself fitness to form part of andi a rep 1 resentation, but friends have urged mo for ? ward, and if you are willing to try me, I I will give my best efforts. Ju some se spec ts, we are at thc beginning ! of our policy, as if we were a new Slate j about to assume' new relations with out? sider States; but wc must never allow our? selves to forget that in other respects we . are an old State-a State having autece i dents-a name to maintain and a history lo I preserve. Whatever may hetide un in the uncertain future, the past, at least, is se? cure. Sooth Carolina has never swerved from the path of honor, as she conceived it. We have a record of which none need be I ashamed; and when any apostate son ?sf I hers disclaims or disparages it, may she ! cast him out as unworthy of lier. The j devotion of every true son of the State adheres in adversity as well a? in pros? perity-is loyal through evil as well as through good report; and in the midst of the greatest misfortunes, "utieketli closer th..u a brother." "Alter the delegations from tho Southern States shall have been roceivid into ?on gress, many delicate and impoi tant duties j will devolve upon them, especially in refer? ence to the freedmen of the South, and the control which Congress, or a party in Con? gress, may desir? still to exercise over them. It may not be improper, in tliis connection, to'say that, whilst I nave ap prOTcd#the course of tho State in seeking to restore her old relations with thc Govern? ment of tho United States, it has buen upon tho faith and expectation that the State, as soon as reconstructed, is to have entire control of the whole subject of her domes? tic affairs. The State, and the State alone, must bo left to decide to whom she will give; the right of suffrage or other political rights. A new code noir must be enacted to protect and govfcrn thc population lately made free-to prevent idleness, vagrancy, pauperism anti crime. I am not prophet enough to foresee whether wo can succeed, but 1 solemnly believe it will be impossible to live in the cuuntrv at all unless th' Stale lias exclusive control of the whole subject. I have hopo that this will bo"permitted, and I think it is in accordance with our inte? rests and true policy to sustain th? Presi? dent aud the Democratic party in their efforts to restore tho States to their posi? tion of equality and to give them equal rights in the Government. With these views, if thc voter? of the District think that I can serve thom or thc State in this critical emergency, I will do my best for them; but I have too high a son.se of my own incompetency and of the difficulties and responsibilities of the posi? tion, to solicit it by a personal canvass.
