accellerated by the specimen of " negra

We learn that the worthy German population
of Walhalla will be unanimous against
a Convention, and against negro government.
All over the District, the feeling is
becoming more intense. The white men
and women of onr mountains will no*,
hoove negro government by encouraging
voting for a Convention of n?g oes. They
may vote for members to a Convention, the

Fickens has an majority of white

Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson, and

horror at voting for a Convention, and ignorant
negro rule over than. Ju?t think ! Berkley
and Beaufort with overwhelming negro
majorities, will bare more representatives in
the Convention, and in the Legislature?these
two Districts?than four or live Districts of
predominant white population. Fickena
OreenuiUe and Anderson, all three, have ten

because it is fall of negroes, and they all registered,
whilst the aoouotain Districts are full
of white people and they have disfranchised

no doubt, many not^ovsr 17 or Iff yeast

had no power to restore anj of the
receding Stales to the Union. lie
sajs: " f ear it wjtb a grave sense of
reponribiiitj, it was not competent for
the President, bj anr act of his. to
biad Congress and restore the Slate to
the Union, and connect it bv constitutional
ligaments and relations." lie
held there was no legal government or
Slate constitution in South Carolina;
and thai under the existing provisional
government, the Reconstruction Aets
of Congress were the supreme law and
| the constitution of the State. He sajs
' if there was anv constitution in South
Carolina or anj legal State govern
merit, then lbs Act of 1840. commanding
the Judge to accept as jurors alone
tho?e who are voters under the constitution
of the 8tate, and who are qualified
bj the Act of its Legislature,
would be decisive of this question, and
tha panel should have been drawn
alone from white men; but it is otherwise.
