There is in the State of Alabama, a majority of white population, although from .Radical and military disfran, ehisemeot of white men undefGon. Pope's , administration, there is a large majority of negro voters. The Constitution clause adopted In the Convention, surrenders the State mercilessly to the negroes, forever hereaiter; but we cannot believe it will atand ; the thing is preposterous. The oath is intended to secure its perpetuity, but its "ntrageousness will only hasten its overI .t>w. The oath as required, the negroes of Ala nama may take, universally, however unwise, even In them; for we maintain that it is not to the real interest of the negroes, that they should govern the Southern 8tates, any more than it would be to the interest" of the children in the Northern States to exclude the grown people and to govern those Stales, Less so, for children might be influenced by their friends for tbelr mutual good, but negroes will be in fluenccd by cunning or ignorant leaders of their own color, or the more desperate of the white race, who will wield their power for their own selfish purposes. But we will give that clause of the oath to which we have alluded ; and every rational man mu-t agree that it is intended simpty to swear every one to be a Radical and a supporter of negro government ilic balance of his life. The clause is in these words, The voter is to swear " that I aocktt the civil and t?olmc'al equality of all men, and auuke not to attempt to deprive any person or terbona, on account of back, color ok pervious c^ppition, of any political or civil right, privilege, or immunity enjoyed by any other class of men." Whoever takes this oath swears then to support negro equality forever hereafter, so long as Clod shall lei him live; he cannot even utter a whisper against it, that would ho an "attempt" against it; he can never hereafter vote against negro equality in ai.y matter, political, social, or anything else; for tha' would be a violation of bis ontli, and he would be subject, doubtless, to prosecu lions, fines, forfeitures, imprisonment, and suffer any penally that the law makers would impose. It is plain that the oath is simply intended to perpetuate llad'ral power, and to awear, if they are degraded enough lo no cept it, every white voter to become and remain a Buppoiter of negro radica Ism, however revolting to him. Even those who are radicals now, if honest men, cannot, it seems to us, be willing to take such an oath. Are they willing to give up theii right to thought and reason, and the use n< their consciences the balance of their lives? Suppose they do think that negro govern ment, and negro equality, political and so. eial, a good thing now, will they always think so; arc they to swear that they wi ] never change their minds, although they may find that degradation and ruin fnt themselves and their children must bo llit result of their negro government,and r.egrt quality doctrines. They may think they have a right to injure or degrade them Valves for the sake of their party, jtfet now, but they may repent at the prospect ol degradation of their wives, their daughter* and children of both sexes hereafter, and not always remain willing for all sorts ol equality to be perpetual. The oath is inaiduous in its terms, first^to aeeept the civil and political equality ol negroes, Chinese, Tartars or Cannibals, or any other creatures or rnecs in the firm of man, not only that there shall be no attempt to deprive any single negro or negroes or other race, however abominable, of any civil right, privilege or immunity enjoyed by any other class of men. It is a civil as well as social right of a white man to marry white woman ; therefore, the negro man must forever possess the same right, ami the marriages of negroes and whites must be made legal and continue so forever hereafter in Alabama. White people have the eivil righ t^feAptcr and occupy all public buildings, SHMfts, churches, colleges, and with their wives and daughters or female acquaintance, under their charge, nil stages and railroads, those even specially for ladies, every dirty negro with a negro wenchi r any aurnber of Ihem, the future Alabama voter must swear to admit and mtiocialt with, his wife and daughters, sisters or sweetheart, or lady friend In every rail car and public conveyance, in every church or other publte assembly, fairs, school exhibitions, public lectures, and what not, of a public nature. Negroes must he admitted to the same public schools, the name public anything, to which white people claim a atvil right; there can never be any attempt at any separation of negroes and white* hereafter, except in strictly private partiesA Radical judge hss recently decided in the State of Pennsylvania, that the Railroadsdn that State, and the managers of all other publio institutions, have a perfect rifbt to exclude negroes from associating among the whites in the tarn* ears, or in a e tame aobool rooms, and other places, and vvlf.ly Intended should exist. to pvevent tlx horrors of miscegenation, and general pol lullon of *11 society ; bot AlabamUca mm wrar t<f submit lo il all. We presume tha this clause or the oath, like every othn change in the Constitution, la the poaillvi dictate of the extreme Radicals of the North Southern men If they vote hereafter, (ate the constitutions are adopted,) mu?t no ouly swear to be Radicals, but nltra Radl csIk, exceeding the radicalism of any North ern*Glate. Such is your congressional ri construction. And such a constitution, il all probability, the Radicals have elread; proposed to have every negro convertioi ' in the Southern States adopt. They wil all alike perish and fail amid the exccra lions of mankind. Can the Negro Government in tho Bout I Continue. We think not. Tho Idea is becoming rnon and morn odtnne and aboininabto in tlio vicn of every enlightciTcd man North and South except a few negro fanatics like Horaci Grekly or vindicative malignant* liko Si;v net* and Wkxdai. I'lliLira. Tbcro nro manj wnvs ill whtrh tlm n?rff<i ? i? ing dot up ovor the Southern Stated, can Ik quietly displaced, and our ropnhlican government and society delivered from tlio dogrcdation and contain iuation which must other win onsuo. Tlie vast and increasing majorities ol tbo white people in the North against negro supremacy, will bo constantly still increasing, and the opposition in the South of tho whito people becomes still moro unanimous and fixed. There is very little doubt that if tho elections could hnvo been delayed in tho Southern States three months longer, that tho white vote for Convention would havo been confined to tbc aspiring men who were candidates, and perhaps a few others expecting te bo candidates hereafter for promotion by negro rotos, and who feel that their proinotiui is otherwise hopeless. It is very certain thnt most of the sensible white men who joined tho Negro League, miscalled Union League, had already backed out of it; because they realized tho fact that iti political object was negro government am nothing else. They saw that the Supplemental Acts of the Hndical Congress, and tin military construction of thoso Acts, wcro do signed to exclude as many whito men as pos siblo from registering, and that every ucgri was admitted with a ftic accidental exoep tions. Wo have very little doubt that the fc? remaining whito men belonging to the Negri 1 i.eaguo will rapidly discorcr that they nrt only making themselves the tools of the ncgr< party, ami their eyes would have become full; opened in n tuonlli or two more. Many o thom had the sagacity to discover tho ngrwri an, lovcling principles of tho dictators am loaders of tho Radical Negro Leaguers, ntu that whilst tlicy and others might have set ou with good intentions, that the best men of tin Loagners were continually becoming s.itl*fiu< that they could not control them for any good How could they do so, when thoro wns a negr< majority so vast in tho State and difTeren Districts, which cunning and desperate whit men could manoeuvre as they pleased, nnd tin worse the white man, tho greater his influ cnco with tho negro majority, becauso sue) will not scruple to tell them any falsehood o to mislead than any way. It is reasonable to expect that even sonv of the whitomon elected to tho negro Convon lion as Loagucrs will discover, when they ar assembled in Columbia, that they arc groivi no sly deceived and will nbatidou the compan; in which they have placed tlicmsolves j undo the temptation of becoming rulers they wil (lnd themselves ruled by extreme negro leader instead of ruling or shnroing any influence. Tho New York IV 'nrhl suggests the mod i in which n futuro Congress can rcverso th j action of tho Radical Congress nnd restore th government of tho Southern States to tlicl . original Constitutional basis. Tho Wort , says: i "We assumed that immediately on the olec tion of a Democratic President, and House c Representatives, the Southern whites wool reorganize their State Governments, oust th negroes, hold new elections, and send member to Concress. If ?1>? ?!?. tho next Prcsidont, and a majority of th I next House, the bastard negro govern incn may bo quietly displaced without a resort t any revc lutionary proceedings, or to an, measures Tor which the Republican party ha not set precedents. *' The late elections baring demonstrated the the country will not sustain universal ncgr> suffrage, tho Republicans cannot expert t' carry tho Presidential election on that issue.' A\"e think, with the World, that a fulnri rational conrcnrntiro Republican and I)cmo cratic Congress, will bnvo a better right t< depose tlio revolutionary negro government than the Radical Congress posescs to iinnosi them on the States and country. The daj will como when there will ho found tew so lov ns to advocate negro supremacy at tho South even now there is no white man that will avov it, even whilst advocating measures tha directly secure it.

In tJrcenville, there was a divided opinion ' amongst (lie white people as to voting nt nll?* ' The consequence was that sotne few conserva1 lives voted, but a largo majority of the white e tueii did not vote, believing that total n'-sti" ' ncnco from tlie coticern the wisest j?<?l|py. Tlie . consequence is the easy triumph of the Con' volition side in the District. Tho negroes * turned out very generally, and with n few 1 Leaguers among the white men associated p with thcin, have elected their ticket. Home of ?lie white men, Leaguers, not yet used to nsh socialing with aiul voting for negroes, refused r ta vote for tho colored candidate, but liicott sistently voted for a negro convention una e negro government In the Hlntc.
