Titts ran est he good seuso or reason for any nan to rote h>r the Constitution presented hy the Ute Convention le Charleston.? The whole ion is one easily settled; hs,l . yot? Meiw-r xumir rr your liberties as white people, to |:?e government of Mgrnea, or ir|r? to rctaui self government in your own hands. Them norcr has boss in the history ] of the world any thing so insul.ing to the t exumon kb?c and dignity of man as the pro- < position now submitted to tha white people of , KoUth Carolina. There is no wisdom or pro- , priety tu aiiy man's ruling ior a Constitution , which degrades him and liis children or father ( and mother, brother and sisters to the level of the African. To the turol do we say T not to ( tho level iwrruly, but to the Inferior .plaee.?

Cillicn* of 1 Greenville end other District*, is there a sin- ' Hi* man. woman or ehiid among you so j' stupid and debased as to prefer to rote fcr a negro government T If so, what for? Is it 1 bCausae ywu hate roniobo ly else ? Why pan- 1 i-h and degrade yourselves, on that account ? Suppose you call yourselves loyal L'u4?h men, opposed to rebels, republicans, or anything i elee upon the face of the ilartb.

It it any { satisfaction toym that you can mortify snine of the beat and isoat enlightened men of the country, whom you abuse aa rebcta, secessionlata, and-so-fnrtb, that you degrade your own mother** children and your children beneath the rule of Georgetown rice plantation* ne- 1 groes. That you eoaple youraelrr* and your 3 posterity to work and lahor to support negro I free-aehool*, negro paupera and negro officer#, < What are you thinking of? Suppose you do I hate rebel* and secessionists, are you tooliah I enough to bellcre that any body i# now in > favor of rebellion or accession ? Suppose yuu j do want to punish people for their .political , error* or mistake*, ia that any reason you , should degrade and punish yourselves and ( your children. Suppose the rebel# were all dead and buried, themselves and their cbil- . dren, would U bo a blessing to you to pnt yeurselvas and your children under negro rule, and to educate your children in the same a. boots to miaeegenatc with the negroes, and to 1 rear a mongrel posterity. Don't you see, oh, white wan, don't you see you are digrading 1 and stupefying yourself, to nrfrocoto the mongrel doctrine of Radicalism. Are you so silly i as to be misted hy those white men who arc candidate# fu( office. Are two thousand while i men of Creouville District, lor instance, to ; vote themselves the underlings nnd dog* of sotno half doten aspirant# for office.

Tiny cannot deny it, ( very single m-n, if such ran be called man, who advocates the ratification of the negro snpreinary, advocates the degradation of the white race, and insults the Gud uf Heaven, who made the negro black and the European white } who clothed the bend of one with wool and the other nitb hair; who lias honored the race of white men with power, 1 dominion and the glory of Arts and Sciences and saw fit to distinguish the negro with bar- *baristn and ignorance and inferiority. We bare not a word of bitterness or abuse, fop the few white men candidates for o(Bec( who are seehing to be cforted on the negro thhet; we pity them from our inmost soul: they asay not be able to see the awful and horrible consequences of their conduct; the prUe of office and power blinds their minds to alt consequences ; they ns-V not wilfully intend to Injure any body > wo hare no nnktnd fooling towards Ibeso men personally ; they arc ninhitions for power and the rewards of office.'? They got notoriety, sotno of them, and eleven dollars per day as members of the negro Con . vent ion ; they only look at their own side o' she question; they mar think they are trying to do good by patting all of us and our pes- J terity unlor the rule and do.ninion of the -j H?t?bo'?and FHunpoy Squashes of Georgetown ( and Urawfurt and Colleton ; they have a right to advocate shctr own interests and the people , certainly have a tight to advocate theirs like WlM, If onr rebel anvvalrr* of t77d, made tnintako in supposing that this government wi? whit* man'* government, nod did not think 11 it wis* to elevate the negro race above the white race, end thue to reverse the order and ' arrangement* of Almighty God: we hope even the radical leader* will exctmo all of u*t who now beaitate to do ?o.
