Jobhsou, had lowered him in the estimate
of all except corrupt politicians. We had
many conversations with Northern geutle*

sis. Editors : — 1 throw together a
that a Northern man, considered by his
New England fellow citizens as the very
highest authority in statesmanship, aud
above all a6 the model of perfection in an
ti-slavery ideas aud sympathies, has given
an interpretation which satisfies to the
fullest extent the measure of State rights,
as contended for in the South. Hear what
John-Quincy Adams, as President of the
United States, acting on the solemn re
sponsibility of his high office, declared io
his first message to Congress, December
Gth, 1S25:
“Tbe Constitution under which you are
assembled is a charter of limited powers.
Alter full and solemn deliberation upon
all or any of the objects, which, urged by
au irresistible seDse of my own duty, I
have recommended to your attention,
should you come to tbe conclusion, that,
however desirable in themselves, the en
actment of laws for affecting them would
transcend the powers committed to you by
that venerable instrument which we are
all bound to support; let no consideration
induce you to assume the exercisoof pow
ers not granted to you by the People.”
What could be more explicit / Not
John C. Calhoun himself, who may be
styled the lepresentative of the strict con*
struction school, could have demanded a
more complete avowal of the limitations
of power in the General Government. As
if guided by some evil iufiuence, in the
teeth of this doctrine from a Northern
President, the people of the non slavehold
ing States begun to trespass on forbidden
ground—
ern philosophy, 1 take occasion to intro
duce South Carolina, not because I desire
to give the State undue pnuniner.co in our
sad history, from the fact that she led oth
er States out of the Union into poverty,
but for a very different and a much better
purpose. When I call over the gieat sons
of Carolina who figured in the Revolu
tionary councils,— her Pinckneys, Rut
ledges, Hugers, Laurens* and Middletons,
and those of a later period,—her Calhouns,
Lowndes’, Haynes. Cheves, McDuffies,
Prestons, Hamiltons, Harpers, Grimkes,
Elliotts, Draytous, Gaillards, Pringles,
Colcocks, Poiusetts, Eltnores, Legates and
Petigrus, aud men of that class, I cannot
withhold my homage to the proud record.
Whatever may be the present humiliation
of South Carolina, under the heel of a tnil
itary despotism, or whatever trials may
be in reserve for the future, I do nothing
but simple justice when I place ber in tbe
front rank of States, ancient or modern,
in all that constitutes solid fame, whether
for the intellect, patriotism and eloqueuce
of her statesmen, or for the high-toned
hospitality and virtue of her citizens. Such
teas Carolina when the Constitution was a
thing of life, and the General Government
kept witbiu its legitimate sphere, leaving
the States to exercise, tbe rights they had
never surrendered, which they deemed es
sential to tho prosperity and happiness of
their people. But when, after a thirty
years struggle, Northern Fanaticism seized
tbe helm, that fiery Comet, tho “higher
law,” shot madly from its orbit, and shiv
ered tbe Constitution at a blow. Dark
ness has since covered the Western hemis
phere, in which we stili grope, waiting for
the sun of the November ballot to give us
light.

C
dred years hence, the whole of Manhattan
Island, 15 miles long, will be densely cov
ered with the most populous city on the
globe. The Cify proper covers now but
little more than one third of tbe island.
A great number of street railways trav
erse it in every direction ; and where those
fail, omnibasses are ready to convey wher
ever you wish to go. Without these cheap
conveyances, the transaction of business
in so vast a city would be exceedingly
costly. Walking to the various poiuts
where business calls would soon exhaust
tbe stoutest frame, especially as the labor
of elbowing ones way through the crowd is
arduous indeed. Y r ou can travel for miles
on a street rail car for six cents, or on an
omnibus for ten cents. These vehicles on

TOr two or three days prior to the as-
fi-mbling of the Convention, tbe hotels of
New York were evidently being filled.
Outlie morning of tbe Convention, Jaly

An omnibus drive along Broadway reveal

of a hotel by the dense throng of people
standing on the pavement about the door,

The New Y T ork Journal of Commerce, a
highly temperate and able paper, bolds
the following opinions on tbe subject of
negro suffrage :
“No law in creation can fix negro suf
frage into permanency. It is but an ex
periment. If it works well, contrary to
ihe experience of mankind up to this time,
it will remain incorporated in the consti-
tulions of Southern States. If it proves a
lamentable failure, degrading in its effects
upon whites and blacks alike, tbe sturdy
good sense of the Saxon race will throw it
off any olher fetter which hinders its pro
gress. No law of Congress, no Constitu
tion of any State, no amendment to tbe
Constitution of the Uniteo States, is iinre-
pealable. Congress has shown to man

Any person desiring information as to
the nature and extent of encroachments
on the South by Northern Representa
tives, urged by public opinion at home,
may obtain it from tbe Journals aud De
bates of Congress. 1 have been a reader
of these from my youth, and I do not hes
itate to say that no such record of mere
selfishness is to be found among any set
• if law-makers under the sun. civilized or
barbarian. Not satisfied with depriving
ihe Southern States of rights clearly re
served in the Constitution, these Northern
members of Congress, in order to cripple
and degrade the South, have usurped pow
ers not granted by the compact of Union.
Acts of this character have been commit
ted repeatedly, beginning with tbe objec
tions to Missouri in 1820, because she re
cognized slavery iu her Constitution. The
compromise to quiet that difficulty, though
supported by Southern men on the ground
of expediency, without yielding the prin
ciple that each St&to should decide for it
self on the question of slavery, lias proved
a thorn in tho body pplitic, which has cous
tinued to rankle with more or less rnalig
nity, until the two sections cf the country
were torn asunder in 1861.
But it is not so much my purpose to re
view the past, as to notice the present con
dition of things, North and Sooth. In the
former, prosperity was never so manifest,
if money, or that which represents money,
can be evidence. The war which impov
erished the Sooth, has enriched the North
by the financial policy of the Government.
Manufacturers and contractors have amass
ed wealth by supplying the army, while
tbe laboring classes of every kind realized
liberal compensation to furnish the mate
rial,— tho whole devolving a funded debt
on the Government of about three thou
sand millions of dollars, which at five per
cent, draws an interest of $150,000,006
per annum. At one per cent, it wouid re
quire $15,000,000,000 worth of property to
i aise this sum.
By the census of 1860, the value of all
the property, real and pcrsoual, in the
United States, was $16.159,616,068, which
included the slaves aud the corresponding
value of all other property in the South
which has been lost by the war, leaving
the present value less than $10,000,000,000,
in houses, lands, machinery, railroads,
shipping, merchandise, live stock, bunds of
the Government, aud all other kinds of
property in the Aggregate. The bonds
are merely an investment of capital, like
money laid out in cotton mills or in real es<*
tate, and should pay their due proportion
uf the tax, which at the rate suggested of
one dollar on the hundred, would be $30,-
000,000, or one-fifth of the interest. But
by acts of Congress inviiiog loans to pros-
ccnte the war, the bonds have been ex
erapted from tax, which leave* the balance
of the property of all kin-la io the United
Stares, say $7,000 000.000. to pay $150.
000.000 annually to the ontaxed bond •
$70,000,000 remained,—seven-eighths of
the whole having been destroyed by the

would have been dishonorable ou their
part, could nerve thorn with the moral lie
roism they display in their overwhelming
reverses. Two years ago I was in the
city of Charleston, and saw these things
for myself. I could specify individual
cases to show destitution iu the higher
walks of life, and the dignity with which
this class endure misfortuue. When they
possessed tbe wealth to which they were
born, or which they had acquired, it was
not hoarded as in a miser’s strong box, but
it wa6 enjoyed by diffusion in neighbor
hood kindness, much in genoral beuevo
lence, and always with au eye to public
and private happiness. Surely a people
of such character, and of such motives ol
action, will revive in fortune aud in influ
ence, ns they nobly deserve, to which is
applicable a beautiful thought of SpurgeoD,
with which I conclude this letter:
“Most of the grand truths of God have
to be learned by trouble ; they must be ' together with tho building s uated

No man is competent to judge in matters

An Honkst Confession is Goop foh
tub Sow.—The Atlanta New Era, says :
If we are distracted and disorganized,
Grant and Colfax will suffer a most iguo-
minous defeat. If we come down to our
work like men worthy iho cause, and act
as a unit, Grant will carry tbe State by a
haudsome majority. Toombs, Stephens,
Cobb & Co. are secretly encouraging dis
sension iu our ranks, and if we are not
mistaken, they have not failed thus far in
their well laid plans for the overthrow of
tiie Republican party in Georgia. As a
faithful watchman on the outer walls, we
sound this timely alarm, and admonish
our party friends to look out for breakers
abend.
So remarks the Era. We have yet tn
learu that tbe UepubSitmu party ever had
ascendency in Georgia.
Since the inauguration of the bankrupt
act in this State there have been something
over twenty-four hundred petitions to re
ceive the benefit ol I lie act transmitted to
the District Courf of the United tsistes.—
Of this uiunber only some thirty odd have
received their discharges.
