Decked upon by hto fallows, that over

that over voted at aa election or reeented oppres

go into the fight, make it a matter ol life or

During the War of 1819 the Britieh Keeton

Beat under Commodore McDonough. The Keet
of McDonough, much inferior to that of the
English, suffered terribly In the flret part of the
battle. At the moment when it was raging

Commenting upon a speech recently delivered
at Columbus, Ohio, by Col Baber, tha Louisville
(Ry.) Democrat suggests that henceforth tka xm«-
to of the Democratic party shall be, “ No recog
nition of Negro State Governments In the Fed-
eral Union,” aad,as toils i Junta, all that It
aska U, that ha shall be a man of rtdMCrt
nerve, known loyalty, and tborongh patriotism,
that he may strap the North. The motto sug
gested by our Louisville ootamporary, to a moat
emphatic, aa it to a most azcaQaat one, and we
liava no doubt that tha North would bo awapt
by any leadsr having the oooSdanca of tka Da-
mocratle party who woold roa tba Presidential
raoanponit 01 Ooi. Bahama apaaeh, tka Louis-

B., It says, in hto apeoohto Urn Democracy at
Oolombna, Ohio, a tyneprta of which wa publkh
to-day, took true Damoontie ground to reference
to the Southern States. “Tboaa Btatea, ha con-
tended, bave legitimate fitata Goverumrata, and
no Benator, no Bepraawtattva In Congma, aad
no Presidential alactor, cbosan by a franchks
forced upon tha peopis by Ooogroaaional usur
pation, should bo raepected or reoogniasd. This
sentiment has the ring of tha true matal about
it. D la tha theory of the Constitution, and the
only one upon which white snprwuey and re
publican government can be maintained. It is
tbs traa solution oi the reconstruction problem
—the alow by which the aailaa may ortbet a sale
and honorable eacapa from the lotrioadm of the
woeae than Cretan labyrinth In which it has be
come involved through tha traitorous wiles of
the Radical coniplraton.”
We have road the "synopsis” of the speech
referred to in tha foregoing, and regret that we
cannot, for want of space, give tha whoteal Itto
our readers to-dsy. for the benefit, however,
ot our randan, wa lay before them tha coo elu
ding portion of the bold and patriotic apaaeh—
the speech of a uhite man bravely maintaining
that tbit is, and must beawAife man'* govern
ment-trusting that even the weak-kneed among
them, if there be auy such, will profit, and be
encouraged by its manly declarations.
After referring to the radical project of Afri
canizing one half of our territory, aa the “ fruits
of the war for the Union," according to Wendell
Phillip*. Colonel Baber said:
Your soldiers who went forth to battle to pro-
terve this country under one government, one
Constitution, and one flag never fired a gun thus
to degrade men of their own blood and Uneag*.
It was a vile conception, miaoegeaatad by Pan-
tan fanaticism and iboddy stay-at-home patriot
ism. Never bad a great party In power at the
end of a civil war, such an opportunity or nation
alizing ltealf and securing its perpetual ascen
dancy by tb* exercise of wawamanahlp la ad
hering to the Constitution aad tha ofajacte for
which tha war for the Union was supported by
the honest ouama. Tha leaders however,'after
two yean of wrangling, and the Rump Congress,

deavor to consummate the total conspiracy it con
cocted against«—eiwitytl government by ad'
manyadeatk fight.—
Flying a poo the bulwarks of McDonough's flag*
•hip, the noble bird, undaunted by the noise end
oonfarton and carnage around him, with clarion
voice rang out bis notea of defiance and victory.
Ballon are ever snperetitloae, and when, in the
penes of the thunder of the enemy’s cannon,
they heard the ehrlll "oock-a-doodle-doo,” ot the
undaunted bird, they gathered new courage, and
lain, like the Democracy
Ohio, waa victorious over the enemies of the
country.
Every naval historian makes mention ot the
fact, and history says that tha bravery shown on
that oooaaion fay the Booster vu the cause oi
the victory, by the renewed courage it gave the
tailors in McDonough's fleet
From that day to this, in political contests, the
Rooster haa bean the Democratic emblem of
victory, and when it is seen, in the act of tend
ing forth its "cock-a-doodle-doo," at the heed of
Democratic newspaper, it la right to say the
country to aale, tor the victory it with the De

The Convention resumed iho consideration ol
the majority report of tbe Committee on tbe
Elective Franchise—the question being upon
the adoption of the report by sections.
Tbe Coon, of Dalles, (late of lowaj offered a
substitute, and harangued the Convention in a

negro votes in bogus State Governments,
by fraudulent ragUirailons, under military den>o-

peopieoutof the choice ot tbe next President of
the'United Btatea through bogus Presidential

electors. Let us meet

be acquiesced In. Let tbe people proclaim, and
stand feariemly by (he determination, that no

Presidential electors, will ever be Noogal
are chosen by a franchise forced upon a State by
Congressional usurpation. Tbat no length of
time, ao mockery ot convention under the forme
of law, can sanctify »uch an outrage. But thnt
the Senators, Representatives in Congress, and
Presidential electors, chosen by white men under
■be now existing State governments in the South,
ure tbe only ones we will recognize at legitimate
until their respective Stale constitutions are al
tered by their own free will and conaentof those
who are lawlully voters under them. Unfurl,
then, to the breeze tbe flag inscribed with the
motto, "White men shall govern the Americas
Union, and we will not be voted down by negro
electors, manufactured by bayonet rule?’ Un
der title sign you will conquer. U, atongardiog

Disorganized, chased, and ball frightened,
they art now endeavoring to retain their hold
on office, fay frantically clutching the coat-tail ol
Gen. Grant. But let me tell them that the peo
ple are wide awake, end will vote upon tbe
measure*, and not men, and tbat General Grant,

•aid it would never do to allow “rebel*" an equal
chance with tbe "trooly foil" in Alabama. The
negroes, ha oontended, well knew that It such
was the case, they would go by the board. He
wanted "rebels” disfranchised and proscribed—
the auooeee of the Radicals depended upon this,
Ion would bo thus secured to the
and the offioea
"trooly Ml,” like himself. He continued to eome
length, and abated everybody, except the ne
groes and the while office-holder*. Tbe Con
vention paid no attention to him, and be finally
subsided!
Mr. Doetan offered the following resolution:
Rttohmi, That the report from the Committee
on Elective Franchise be recommitted, and tbat
Reynolds, of .WUcox, Haughey, of Morgan,
Coon, ot Dallas, Applejple, of Madison, Saflold,
ol Dallas, and Patera, oi Lawrence, wbo bave
offered substitutes, be added to tbe committee.
John Carroway, (colored,) of Mobile, moved
to lay the resolution on the table, saying we bave
wooden bone in this Coo vaotlou, and be did not
want It to go to a committee—It could he settled
right here.
Several delegates attempted to speak, but were
called to order amid confusion.
Tbe resolution waa then laid on the table.—
Yeas, 61; nays, 88.
The Convention then proceeded to vote on the
article for tho Constitution reported by the Fran-
ehiee Committee. It waa variously amended,
and as amended, adopted as follows, section by
section:
qualification or electors.
Art. —. See. 1. Every male person born in
tbo United States, and every male person who
hat been naturalized, or who baa legally declared
bis intention to become a citizen of the United
States, 21 years old, or upwards, wbo shall bave
reelded In this Stale six month* next preceding
tbe election, and three months In tbe county in
which he offers to vote, except as hereinafter
provided, shall be deemed an elector. Provided,
Tbat no soldier, sailor or mariue in tbe military
or nuval service of the United States, shall hare-
after acquire a residence by reason of being sta
tioned on duty In this State.
[On the adoption of tbe above section tbe
vote was, yeas 88; nays 7.J
The Convention consumed tbe day in discuss
ing tbe franchise question. Only the first sec
tion of the article was adopted at tbe morning
and afternoon eesslous.
The question was again considered last night
At the night session tho rote was taken on
tabling the third dense of section 2d (which dis
franchises all who do not vote on the new Con
stitution) and resulted in a tie—(yeas, 83; nays.
43.) Alter debate, the main question on tlte
adoption ol the clause woe ordered—yeas, 82
nays, r*8—so the third clause wee lost.

'ho article on franchise was amended and
perfected, and final vote deterred until to-morrow.
