Hon. B. H. Hill's Recent LetterThe
lion. R. II. Hill in ? recent letter *<]rested
to J. II. Sneeil, Ks<)., Maeon 6s., ezoses
tlit relief provisions of llie proposed C6ntilutrot,
and ehows not only tlint they'are
ppused to the Constitution of the United
iiales, but tliat those wln> were mainly instruixuUl
m incorporating these provisions into I
he Negro Consiilution never designed them to
ia*c the effect which wna pretended. lie afftrm*
thnt he has the highest authority for
mying that assurances were sent from the Radical
lenders in Washington, that relief might
be put into the Constitution to get votei, but
would b? stricken out, wben the votes were
obtained. The disastrous effects uhicli result
from thin romrtaat nritation of relief.
nre thna clearly portrayed:
1 ?L. A Urge majority of creditors are sow
willing to ad liberally with their debtors, ami
tt?ke a rea^ounble pqrlioti of tbeir debt. Bui
debtors, by tbis rejief ngitfttioij, ore encouraged
to pay nolbing. Creditors' w111 be compelled
to hold on to their debts ontil the Jaws
enn be enforced, and nil the time interest is
accumulating. The time will cvm#1 'when
ooiit t* will bo open and law will be administered.
These cicditora, outraged by the efforts
of the debtors to g.-t rid *>f nil tlse debt, will
fxact the last dollar and listen to do compro
irisc. "
2d. Very ur.forlunato bitternc*3 of feeling
will fprlng up amoug our people. Efforts
vhich ought to be giveu to product ion and ira,t?ovemeut
of property* wil! bo given to con
cot>), bide and cover up property. There are
unscrupulous lawyers now engaged in encouraging
Cl>is bnsinefc?. I knew o^" lawyers who
are nW promined large amoufiU:to defeat the
collodion of debfs. 1 know soma foolish d?bi
ore wbo ?r? paying lawyers amounta to d?f*al
debts, \h|eh the creditors would accept and
give up the .debts.
.Why, you -will say snch fnen are crazy 1 Sc
in one sense, thoy are. They are crajiy with i
passion against credhore. Thsy prefer to paj
ihe asoney to lawyers who flatter Uieui U
i creditors who tiusted them. So, many tner
are run crazy. Every tnai) who Votes to accept
negro dominion to get false relief is era
zy I Every in an who ao' vat*# h"stttmg hi
children*#"hopes and his wife's bfcpjtf u?S* tor t
cheat?worse then acheat.
8d. While all this is b?ing dona we vital
' have negroes and Yankees iu> the Legislature
establishing free schools for negrots, to be supported
by taxation upon the whites, and taugh
by New England teachers to increase the ha
tred between the racesj a?<J, while onr Indus
try will be paraljzed and our 'produoU almoa
destroyed, our taxes w.ll be . fully doublec1
Property will also be deprociated sli'l more an
i l_ :11 i
porf, ana our jieopie win iukc mure *u mcicat
ed tnxution and by the low of proporty valiif
than would foe sufficient to pay their debi
three time* over.
4tli. hi the meantime the Bankrupt set wi
have expired. and ihoussuda will liara faiUd I
avail ^icisselvpB of it. . _
Oth.. Every man who votes for tfcFa negi
constitution to avoid paying his debte, wi
never te able to get credit' again. Many Iti
by ertedih, but, bavin; sWown thsimelves wi
ling Iff d^frnd, no sans mas will ever ?ft?r tru
them, Tlio rich man can live without crodi
or get U oo .bis properly. Th^ poor man
. dependent on l?is oliaiaeUr, and when that
gone he is ruined.
