Thia la a bright gleam of aunahino breaking through the black oioude of tyranny and abaoiutjam which hovered over the Southern Statca during the past year. All may yetl>? well, if #? do not voluntarily dishonor ourselves by rlvetthg the ehaina whloh hava been thrown over us in voting for a convention. We tftadt have endurauee, pa* llettoe and long suffering under onr oppree aione and tyranny. Drave men, who coolly and deliberately undertook to oonquer four io one, and fought gallantly through a hundred bloody fields of battle, ehonld not no# in the hour of peace, take counsel from bare fear and be panic-atiieken with their own apprehensions. There muet be a reaction at the North. The Democratic party is daily increaaing in nombera and strength. Their cause ia just, before Heav-en. They are fighting for constitutional liberty and self-government, and their next elections will rweep the Blaok Republican party out of existence. We most never forget that thia ia u a w/tife imam's OammmtM." It was so in iu origin, and has so oontlnned up to the present time. White men settled the conntry, achieved their independence, and framad the Government for white men eoielv and exciusivelv. Ncwro enualitv and negro suffrage were never thought of by our revolutionary ancestor*, North or South. Massachusetts and all New England were as positive in this matter as South Carolina.? It was known and acknowledged that the African was of an inferior race, incapable of any high intellectual culture, and utterly unit for republican rule. They were held as slaves, and recognized as chattels by the Puritans themselves. They were bought and stolen, in Africa by the New Eugland ore, and brought to America for sale aa Uvea. Thjk horrible traffio has been a graat aouree of wsalth and proaperity to Naw England. For four thousand years, tha history of the negro, in Africa, ahows no sign of improvement It is only by long and eontinued association with the white man that his imitation has enabled him to adept n lew degree of eivilisation. Pro fee eor Agassis has recently made manifest that the negro ia of a totally different raee from that of the white man, greatly laferii i , and and bad a dlfferen origin. If the rump Congress had pursued 'The ordinary course of a half-civilized and blood-thirsty people, after the war was over, and huog two or three hundred of ne, or as many thousands, in aach ona of the Southern States, it would Lava been an aet of great mercy and wisdom to the Southern people, instead of the cunning and malicious aeherac of humiliation, degradation and ter rorlsua with which they have punished ths whole South, men, women and children, Unionist* and secessionists, innocent and guilty, equally. The barbarism of a negro government, gradually growing worse and more cruel, entailed on ourselves and posterity forever, ia intolerable and diabolieaL The radicals were deterred, by the opinion of the world, from their death victims, in this civilized and Christian age. But, by a refinement in cruelty peculiarly their own, they have Inflicted a mental punish meat of conscious dishonor on all alike, and, attheaaaaa time, have provided for strengthening and perpetuating their political power as a party. This punishment is not inflicted for a day or a year, but to continue till it is wiped out, a* it ultimately will be, in fthe blood of both races. The horrible ecaaea of Ban Domingo are destined to be re eaaeted is Booth Carotin. .Negro suffrage baa been fairly, fully aud cflaetaally tried in Jamaica, under the most favorable auspices.

Thle has occurred In Jamaica, jnet as 1? is ahout to be thrust on the people of the Sotrfh as a punishment, and for the advancement of the political power of the radical party. The history of the negro government in San Domingo ought to show the impracticability of Its existence any where, without the moat horrible oonsequeneea? If wo turn to Africa, and look at the negro tbore, we shall have still stronger evidence i>| hie iacapaei'y for the exercise of political power. * With all I he. t l.irible aud damning faoli L* - * ^t^J*/ HHP^rVnn^ oar Jmm M^HH||? of tbo negro character, HBffimAM6ibr Ob Kim, wUmtarH#, HBraaR^OBlfrngo mmIpwiil equality wltb At iMWht time, we ere going BS?Sli?|B*ily ?Ufr*D?klM ?d degrade all Qg ^bo fc.-rve been dletlnl^iIihwwproailMAt In paJUlv'M lifeI?

A 1 bend of robbers would feel some eompunotions of honor and eooselence in seeurirg their own safety by giving op to punishment their chief. It is told, to the eternal infamy of the Seotoh nation, that they sold to the Bngllsh, for a sum of money, their native sovereign, against whom they were waging a terrible war. But the people of South Carolina ars about railing, to the Blaok Republicans, all the public men whom they have heretofore loved and honored, for the humble boon of being placed themselves on nn equality with their former slaves, sod having those freed men to rule over them and their wives and sons and daughters forever! In recording and contrasting these two public sots, history must i regard the Seotohmen, In the reign of j Ghsrlss the First, as a wise gentleman, com- I pared to the Carolinian of the preeent day. I At the beginning of our secession move- i ment, the political ery, everywhere, was i that "Southern man must govern the 1 South." Now, the ery is that we must have I the Union restored by disfranchising onr | public men and enfranchising our for- i mer slaves. In other words, "the South | must be governed by negroeel" John < Quloey Adams, in speaking of the punish* | meat ! impeachment, declared, in Congress, l that he preferred the punishment of death < to being declared by bie country incapable > of holding office. To tbie infamy is now < added, for the Southern man, inability to < vote, and the disgust of seeing the negro take his plaee in politics. Bui this sacrifice, painful as it was to Mr. Adams, and must i be to every honorable man. would be cheer I fully made by tha publio man cf South I Carolina, if it wae all that waa required of I the|8tate.

But this ia taking counsel of our 1 feara, which no honorable man should aver 1 do. No danger and no puuishment should 1 aver induce him to degrade himsslf, or do a 1 dishonorable act lie should rather meet the consequences be those consequences what they may?the dungeon or death. It really seems that tha Southern people have been eo borne down with trouble, oppreeeion, tyranny and etarvation, mat tneir mind*, m well as their prinelples( ere unsettled. A lady remarked to me, the other day, that It eeemed to her " the apirit of the men waa crushed out." When I hear it gravely proposed to abandon onr friends at the North and form new associations, 1 begin to think that not only all spirit, but all principle and all sense, have been crushed out of us. The Democratic party North have always been the allies ot the South* from the origin of our Government. They have, since the war, as they did before the war, made sacrifice of their popularity and their political honors in defending the South. They have fought our battles, in Oongreee and out of Congress, with a spirit and devotion to principlo worthy oi a band of martyrs. A few thousand votes will put this party in power all over the North, and those votes they are daily acquiring. Then the Southern States will a)l be restored to the Union, with their constitutional rights unlmjutired. Just at thi* lime, when this death struggle is going on for our rtirhta and honor, and ?- ? ?? friends and allien about to gala the victory, we are ad?teed to withdraw from them, with a parting etab under the left rib, and eeek new aeeoeiatlona 1 Daniel Webeter onee eaid to llr.

It beeomee the duty of every good roan to vote, whether he ia opposed or in favor of a convention. If the convention is to assemble, every oltlxen is deeply Interested In having It composed of good men.

F. PERRY. Greenville, 8. 0., June 23. lStft. P. S.? Since writing the above, I have received the Louisville Courier, published at Louisville, Kentucky, from which I make the following extract Letters received from prominent men in Boston, Philadelphia, St Loui^ Naw Haven and otbsr portions of the North, use pretty much the same language, and expreaa a confident hope of ro-ection there: " It does seem to us that U ia the patriotic and imperative duty of every man who would not see negro Governments established in the Southern States, and white men disfranchised and proscribed, not only to register, but to vote against convention.

The debate took plaee on tbo evening of the 20th alt., and, at the hour when mem here are in tho habit of going into tho re freehment room. Dior eel I, it ia aoid, had privately promised Mr. Mill that ho waa not opposed to the measure, and thovgh he might not at present be able to vote for it, he would eon that he should hove every opportunity -to bring the question fairly before the House ; and accordingly Disraeli, and severe! other members of the Government eat out tba discussion, and some of theru even participated in it.

Mr. Mill's earnestness sod hi* *tyU will I* *e*n from the following passages, which we Ink* From the report of the debate in the London riim? of the 21st. lie was speaking of the relations between the sexes in an era long ?one by, in whieh men and women ware operated in avsry respect: "Then the man spent his hours of leisnre among men ; all his friendships, all his real ntimaeles wero with men ; with men alone lid he converse on any serious subject j the arife was either a plaything or an uptwr icrvant All this among the educated classes is ehanged ; men no longer give up Lheir spare time to outdoor exercises and boisterous conviviality with male aasocintee ; the home has acquired the ascendencyThe two sexes now really pass their lives together. The women of the family are ths man's habitual society; th* wife is his chief associate, his most oonfidential friend, and 3 ft en h's most trusted counsellor." Title brought down the house aa well as the galleries. " Nor does a man," continued the speaker, " wi-li to have for his nearest companion, linked so closely with himself, and whose wishes and preferences have so strong a claim upon him, one whose thonhts are alien from those whieh occupy his own mind?one who can give neither help, nor comfort, nor sup port to hU noblest feelings end purposes." " Sir, the time line come when, if women ere not raised to the level of men, men will be put down to theirs. The women of a man's family are either a stimulus end a support to his higher aspirations, or a drag upon them. You may keep them ignoran^ of politics, but you cannot keep them from concerning themselves with the least respectable part of polities?its personalities. If they do not understand, and cannot enter into the man's feelings of public doty, they do esre about Ids private Interests, and that is the scale Into which their waight is certain to be thrown. They are an influence always at hand, co-operating with his selfish promptings, watching and taking advan-( tage of every moment ol moral irresolution and doubling the strength of every temptation. Even if they maintain a modest neutrality, their mere absence of sympathy hangs a dead weight upon his moral energies, and makes him averse to incur sacrifices which they will feel, and to forego worldly successes and advantages in which they would share, for the sake of objects which they eanoot appreciate." It was notable that throughout the spe< oh there was an absence of that laughter with whloli some had prophesied the whole mat ter wm to be laughed down. There w/re laugh*, indeed ; but they were eliciUd by the hlta with which the speaker brought to the dust somo of the tradiliooal absurdities that haunt people's minds on the subject? as when he mid: 'Under an idle notion that the heautiee of character of the two sexes are mutually incompatible, men nre afraid of manly women ; but those who hare reflected oe the nature and power oi social influences know that when therr are net manly women there will not much longer be manly men.' lie went on to ehow that the two n xea must rise or sink together, and that a truly hnman soeiety >a impos ibla so long as the law clasaes women with 'children, Idiota and lunatics."
