BOK TUB AEEBYIbUS CAN I GET SEVERAL PERSONS TO j * SEQOHP THE MOTION V Mi), Ewtor.? A groat political and , iri< teorological torn Ado swept, with grout < violence, otter my neighborhood last week, uprooting tho vory foundations of society, pros'.rati:ig tho giants of tho fjrust, and disturbing tho *eq'.iil:Lriuni of things generally. Tiic two storms coining together at the samo time, Imvo damagod us considerably, and it was as impossible to guard against one as thu other. Tho rog-!: isler of llie weather will tell you th:il it , i9 impossible to prevent the l'untastio tricks of Boreas, but wc think Hint 'be rogistered voters can bo better managed in tlio future. Now tlio micstion arises, how are jyo to secure th#t iq.qst desirable end ? We know, Mr. Editor, that it is a common fault with our people tlint almost every man considers himself a graduated ! political M. D., and is ready to determine ! | tha disease, and prescribe tho roinedy, j I when. i:i liis opinion, auv sicknoss attacks ; i ho I'O'ly politic, bill both political quacks, and political M. D'p. arc :i great r.uisanco , to any neighborhood, yet both will always 1 liavc some adherents. Somo men say or gnnize Democratic clubs, and through ; them control tho elections. Others say j don't Crnjdoy nnv of tlio frecdmcn, and various other measures are proposod to secure U3 against the evils of our piesent condition. Every o?c must bo satisfied that Democratic clubs cannot control tha votes of South (Jarcliua. A few genlletncy in different' localities have generally consumed tlio^timo of their meelings ia mak'mnr stale blood and tliundur sn<icches. and o f ? * and passing dropsical resolutions, both of which at ihe present tiuie, are certainly disgusting to all sopsibie peqpjo. The late con volition changed the government of the State mora thoroughly J,han the other Southern States will be changed. Because wo have never been accustomed to popular elections as p^ed by the preqept constitution, while other States have always preferred elections by the peop'.o, aud we would heio say, that jybere good major* ity are educated, we are in favor of universal sutfrago and popular elections. If it were not tor the negro clement in our > j population, I would much prefer the new j constitution to thp old one. Tbero are ; spine Ihings however - in* t!:a lato constitution wc do not aj?i?rove, bfit taken on a whole, it is iu our opinion, belter calcula1 1 ted to develop the intellect npd resources a j of the State than the old, and if its provis1 j ions are regulated nut by wi?o legislative I enactments, it \yould aecuro to us a better j government than wo have heretofore cpjoyed if wo can get rid of the negro; for j, \yo contend that no form of government 11 can Le deviled by any man that will bring peace.and prosperity to any of the South pro States, if tho tbrin of jjoyermaent con forms to the Acts of Congress. A.11 of thpac acts make tbe negro the political equal'o ihu whites, and as an unavoidable anc _ legitimate consequence, the different State B convooiionc, in attempting to accomjilisl ^ 1 tlie object of all government?, the gooc of all people, arc obliged to pass such law: as recognize tho polilioai equality of tjii npgro, and which laws must in the eri< promote and encourage the social cciualit; of the race3. So Mr. Kditor I think tha I perceive that the rrrfeat trouble we hkv to conteud with, is not the constitutor .but the npgio element of our populatioi We would hero say that probably 11 ~ white man has had fewer troubles wit the frceduien or leas cause to complain ( their conduct than myself, but erery cai 1 did man who looks at the subject in th il- light of reason, and philosophy roust l:no ri" ihat no form of governme^ can.be ac riscd that will bring about h Congenial a'tl harmonious social status between tl ficqdcien and.thpir foroior masters* Ja anti-8cnpuua! and unnatural. A-form ?<>vernm.?nt might bo dovued, wit'jo ? slavery, that 110 doubt would palliate o evi!3, but then the great object of all go< governments would not bo accomplish Now in our opinion tbo white people this State ought to take such steps as w insure the supremacy of the whites, a make for us n whito man^ country er< lually. How aro wo to do this? ^ ' think.it ia.vory Bimple ami very oasily { cofnplished.'' There is certainly only ( way, aud that is to fill the country yi white people, and it wjll not cost ono.c to do this according to my plad.. in first place, let all the white boys and g get married &c., but the spetfdtusti ~T~ surest method, and the ono to wUic would especially call atteution, fo by importation of whites in large num'o >o&ui and it makes . bo- difference whero white roan i? from, whether from Yan UN j land or from Ireland he will be with ; Ijjj if be carries orit the instincts of bis na I would therefore make ? motion that " | ci^nspf tbb JPiftricfc meet at an c fC day, and adopt some practical maaaor* th? introduction of whit* lataora. 8 tf pose thai evofj land holder e renter, who worts hired Tabor would < 11 11 tribute fifty dollar? to brief one man fill ?nnual,y ^?r 'wo Buccessivo years, i . would be the result at the cxpirath eyealiie first year. Don't you pen L tbat you would at once double the \ ^ population and you w>U bo enabled to ^ vote the negro,'and you will also co Ma labor. I say ibe District shotf&i in tbla mattet because IridirTduata or trofifyeommnoilies cannot aceompb's y cptf^oaplated-end. If you - import < aWera and servautu, in order to i ihom satisfied you must Lave a sufficient number to form a society among them30I vos, and you mupt p^opojp tp assist them in securing such religion* privileges as they may desire, and it will be easier to educate any foreigner to a knowledgo of self-government urnlor a republican government, than it will be to educate our former slaves. The money contributed i? not a gratuity, for tbe person imported agrees to labor for you nnlil the money is paid back, and I would contend that it would bo u good investment if you never r?*??' il?/* mon 11r\ n /iiti , V..U ........ j nv .. ,..wuon 3nd by bucU importations wo will bo epabled to control botb tho political power and tlio labor of tho negro. Soijie men may say, take tba same trouble and have tbe same patience with tbo negroe3 as you propose with the foreigner, and ho will Uiake a good citizen, Wo deny that ho will, but we do uot desire to live in 9 country whero both political and social amalgamation must eventually take placo between tliewliius and tlio blacks for the mongrel thus produced would 110 doubt bo involved In perpetual anarchy, like ajl other countries under the control oft a mongr?jl population. The propositions which some have made, not to employ the Ircodmcn, if it could bo carried out would produ30 these 8crioU3 disturbances phi^li would cartaiuly result, if more than half tho population were without tho mentis of asingla day'* subsistence, and without the moans of earning it. So it will never do to cive this plan ?nv serious consideration. iV?d then you could never secure any concert of aotiou in this plan. 1 believe that I speak ibc sentiments of every white man in tho Slate, be be R-idical or Democrat, wljcn I say it would be better for the State if every negro could be quietly and advantageously located beyond our borders, but this cannot be done. Therefore we cannot nee any practical plan for securing white supremacy other than by the importation of white people. If our servants uud laborers are to be our equals in the name of all that is good, lat them l>e white. And hero at this point we would say that if persona desire white aerfuU or laborers they must Dot look for | them amongst the white men and women who have heretofore l?t>en born and ' rought up uuder the old system of things Hundreds of the poor whito men of oar country a>e industrious, hard working men, but servants and laborers they are not, iin^ revef will b?. We want mon who gre willing to drive the carriages, black the boots, and to perform all tht duties that aj-e uovj porforined by the negro, and who dp riot consider it anj disgrace or hardship to do it, ket ui now, instead of Democratic cluh?, forrr emigration club^ in each neighborhood aud have a central olub at the Oouri House.

Adopt my plan aud \t wi J bo the means of preventing a collision < '? tbe races, and tbe negro will rapidly di| 1 appear bofore the industry and enterprw 9 of tbe white man. Before closing I wou] >i say, that J would not consider it any nO ' vantage, even if tbe negro would uui o with us in politics. % Tbi? would prebab; b increase tbe evils of the situation and >f am satisfied tbat it woul4 tyQt be d?*V*k : 10 reiai|i imu, cvon suouio lie luonmy mi 0 self thoroughly in politics.

Heretofore South Carolina has pursued a wise policy in refusing all divorces. The marriage conti act is not like that of any other, which tho parties may rescind at pleasure, without injury to society.
