Tha first and most, practical reply to this argument, is, that if It is so, you cannot prevent a Convention. This numariaal ma. jority which yon fear will either exercise It* power, and oall a Convention against your wishes, and in spite of your vote*, or if you hav* influence With it te divide it, then it to obvious thai the earn* influence which could indues them to act with you to prevent a convention, would induce them to act with yon in the Convention when ealled An organised opposition, therefore, against the Convention, is slmplv resistance to the action of Codgrsss, and the exoitameot of a fatal antagonism between the races, without a single advantage in the contest yon will thus Inaugurate. But. what is the real danger before you I Let us look it fully in the face. It ia true, that H a Convention is ealled, one of th? conditions imposed, to, that tha Constitution Which It frame*, shall include a provision for universal suffrage. It to troe, also.' I think; that univrrsal suffrage So a great misfortune, that the privilege of voting is not only a privilege hut a very responsible duty, which no one. whits or bleak, should be permitted te share who is not qualified by character and intelligence to exercise it wiaaly and conscientiously. This highest right of citizenship has bean given to a large portion of the population of tha State, who ara not fit for it, by a power which you oannol resist, and which does not intend to ba reaisted. Mo action of yours io voting against * Convention, can deprive them of It. I assume, npon lbs general statement, although I doubt its correctness, that thero are in South Carolina about sjjLty* thousand black votes, to about forty thousand white oooo.? But this black vote is not, and cannot be uatiuq m ouuiviuvu uirjunij, rxrcpl ID C8808 u! I a genera) popular election. For dolorates te i the Convention, for represontfttivea to the n Legislature, it cannot act together. The dis- r parity in numbers is local. For example, if i there is a majority of five thousaud negro vo- f. tors in Beaufort or Georgetown District, the i majority of the whole rote is so much diiniu- 1 iahed in the rest of the State, and can count j in such election no more than a majority of 1 fire, for it can only aocurc the return of members I from its own district. In fact, this disparity | exists cheifly in the low-country. In your 1 own district, and those adjoining it, the nugro 1 rote is in a very marked minority, eren if it < act as an unit. If, then, the antagonism was 1 all that is represented by the moat approhen- ; sire, you, the white mon of the upper-oountry, 1 cannot be deprired without your own neglect, | of your faTr representation iu the Convention and the Legislature. ( But, what, in fact, to-day, is.this antagonism < between these two classes of voters? Not What it may be made?hut what is it in the opinion of practical men who govern their erery day action by the! 1 every day exporienca ? It ia certainly not an exaggerated calculation to suppose that of this sixty thousand, at least forty thousand are engaged tn tho work of agriculture, In daily communication with you, depending upon your capital and thrift for profitable employment, uttorly ignorant and utterly indifferent as to political questions which tbey do not understand. If you aro just in your dealings with these, have you any doubt of your influenco?. lias there ever been a time anywhere, even the most troubled, in which finally brains and oapiLd hava not governed? You know these people. For two I centuries you have held them as slaves : were I I they Dot dooilo, affectionate, trustworthy ?? During the war, when in many sections of this State, there were not at home white men enough to do patrol duty, aud when they knew aa well ae you did, that their freedom depended on your failure, wore they less industrious, less faithful to all that was yours? ? You have seen them now for two years in possession of thslr freedom?has there been voileace or riot ? Asa general rule, has there been even insolence ? They rejoiced in their freodom. Was it not natural? At first they seemed like children, to think that their new life was to be a perpetual holiday ; but the crop of last year waa some evidenco ot their industry, and the uuiversal testimony is that they are working this year a hundred per cent, better. I know there are portions of the State in whieh the persistent mischief of very foolish or very wicked men have demoralised them> and that among themselves there are not a few who have bad excited a daegerons aud very preposterous ambjtion.

If, in the Convention you have done your duty to the froeduien tairly, you may thou successfully resist the foolish ambition of vain black men and the selfish designs of unprincipled white ones against tho evil which will then have taken palpable shape ; you can appeal uot only to your own people, but to tho efficient sympathy of that great mass of your countrymen who may be willing to give the negro political privileges?who may be williug to use him for the purpose of preserving power in tho next Presidential election, hut who have no uioro |dea than you have ot destoying the civilization of this country by making this a black man's government.
