^latuiii F. Ferry :
Oboesvillk, S. C-. October 26, 1866.
IV’. il l ot/iparti, Esq , Philadelphia :
J1 y D.f! S r-1—I had the pleasure of re-
ttiYhigy ur luU J r a f uw jays since, express-
itiii.rist in the condition of the
2 'titti. rti tiiriea, nnd urging that South
'-'t'lbtit Shou.tl udopt tne Constitutional
u®cutlmeir. proposed by Congress. You
iti w i-sii to know my views in
t on rtl,Ce l ° ! e all-absorbing political ques-
k fcus bt cn 3a jj t j, at a man never can be
in Congress, except by those who would dis- ing and consequences, can expect or counsel
honor and disgrace them. VVe have no *'“ ’ * -
guarantee that Congress may not still hold
the Southern States as conquered provinces,
and appoint Provisional Governors over them
with instructions to convene “loyal” con
ventions, elected by universal negro suffrage,
and have formed State constitutions, by
which all shall be entitled to vote and hold
offlee, without regard to caste or color, to
the exclusion of every one who has aided or
countenanced the “rebellion.”
The first section of the Constitutional
Amendment proposes to make citizens of all
the negroes in the Southern States without
regard to moral character or attachment to
Republican principles, which are required of
all foreigners who become citizens, alter a
residence of five years in the United States.
No matter how infamous mav be the charac
ter of a negro, as a liar, a rogue and a mur
derer, he becomes an American citizen by
this amendment, and entitled to all the rights
and privileges of citizenship. Bat the Irish
man, German and^Englishman must first sat
isfy the court that he is a man of good moral
character and well attached to the principles
of our Government, before he can be invested
with such rights und privileges. Why this
preference should be given to the black man,
in his ignorance and vice, over the virtnous
and intelligent white man who comes here
from a foreign land, is hard to conceive.
Already South Carolina has declared, by
legislative enactment, that negroes shall have
all the rights and privileges of white ineu in
person and property. They may sue and be
-ued, purchase and dispose of property, in
herit and be tried asAvhite men are. They
are subject to no greater penalties or punish
ment lor crime than white men. In sll -of
the Southern States the same enactment has
been or will be made. It would seem that
this ought to satisfy the Northern people of
our purpose to protect the negro and do am
ple justice to him iu all of his right: of per
son and property.
The right to hold office and vote is a poli
tical right, which beiougs exclusively to ev
ery community, aua to be regulated as to
them shall seem proper, without interference,
in auy way, by any other power. There is
uot a civilized community in the world where
restrictions have not been imposed on the
right of holding office, voting aud exercising
political power.* The Northern States have
done so from their earliest history to the pre
sent day. To deprive the Southern States
oi the same right would be the grossest iu-
justice and tyranny. And to consent to it,
ou their part, voluntarily, would be self-de
gradation and iniamy.
The Eeeond section of the proposed Con
stitutional Amendment declares that repre
sentation shall be in proportion to the number
of voters in each State, and that if any male
inhabitants over the age of twenty-one are
excluded from voting, lor any cause what
ever, they shall not oe enumerated in the
b us's of representation. This makes it im
perative on the Southern States to give up
their representation tor a large portion of
their population, or permit the negroes to
vole. The injustice of this constitutional
provision to the Southern States must be
manifest to every unprejudiced mind.
Iu all of the Southern States, a large pro
portion of their population consists of negroes,
who are utterly incapable of holding office,
voting or exercising auy political rights. At
the same time they exclude, by their labor,
white per.-ous, who would otherwise take
their places, occupy the country, and culti
vate its lands. Iu the N.iithern States they
have very few negroes, aud their exclusion
from voting would not seriously affect their
represent!!, ion in Congress. The consequence
would be that one section of the American
Union, with great wealth aud a large popu
lation, would have a most inadequate in
fluence in national legislation.
The proposed amendment of the Federal
Constitution forces the Southern States to
choose between giving up their equal repre
sentation in Congress or permitting their
negroes to vote. Between these alternatives,
no Southern State could hesitate for a mo
ment to choose when the issue is forced on
them. Equal representation in the national
councils must be’ given np. You very pro
perly say, that already the Southern States
are in a minority in both Houses of Cou-
gress, aud a full representation tor their ne
groes would not give them a majority of the
House of Representives.
In South Carolina we have largely over a
hundred thousand more negroes than white
persons. If universal suffrage prevailed, the
entire political power of the State would be
in the hands of the negroes. They could
elect to every offlee in the State oue ol their
owo caste, and send 8-nators and Represen
tatives to Congress. The same state of af
fairs, deplorable as it would be, must like
wise take place iu Mississippi. And in all
of the Southern States tuere would be many
counties in a similar con uiou—negroes
elected to the Legislature and fllliug all
county offices.
To suppose that any Southern State
would voluntarily adopt such a provision in
the National Constitution, is to presume that
she is insensible to her own houor, and reck
less of her own safety. It may be 6aid that
Tennessee has already done so. Never was
tbeie a greater mistake. If the Constitution
al Amendment had been submitted to the
people of Tennessee, it would have been re
jected by nine-tenths of them. It was
adopted only by a minority of her Legis
lature, unfairly and corruptly elected, aud
thorouuhly debiucdand degraded by North
ern influence. In all communities there are
unprincipled and infamous men, who seek
power and notoriety by sacrificing honor
and the interests of their country. Unfortu
nately for Tennessee, the scum aud dregs of
society have been thrown up by the horrible
civil war through which she has passed.
Mec have got into power iu that State, acci
dentally and fraudulently, who are a disgrace
to human nature, and who will ever remain
infamous in history. The same thing can
not again occur in any other Soutuern

The fifth section ot the proposed amend exempting certain property from levy aud
again
St The third section of tbe proposed Consti
tutional Amendment is more revolting to an
honorable uimd tban either of tbe others. It
is, in the true sense of the word, a bill of at
tainder nnd ex post facto law, so repugnant to
the sentiments aDd fteiings ol the framers of
the Federal Constitution that they declared
no such law should ever be passed. It puu-
ishes for past offences, by one fell swoop,
tens of thousands of honorable men- The
conception of such a bill was never before,
probably, thought of by an Englishman, or
the descendant of an Englishman. It cer-
tain'y was not attempted by the English
Parliament in the darkest and bloodiest day9
of English tyianny. The only incident in
history analogous to it, is the wish of Nero,
that all men had but oue neck so that he
could cut them off atone blow. It proposes
to ostracise and disgrace lorever, not only all
tbe leading men of tbe South, but all, how
ever humble they may be, who havo ever
filled any civil office iu any of the Southern
States. This section declares that no one
who has taken an oath to support the Con
slitution of the United States and was after
wards aiding and abetting in the war, shall
hereafter hold ai:y offlee under the State or
Governors of the States, the Judges,
members of the Legislature magistrates,
constables, State aud District officers, are all
toreveif excluded by this provision. To sup-
pJw that any Southern man would volunta-
rilv adopt such a provision is indeed placing
a very low estimate on Southern character.
mhfJnHier who gallantly fought under the
?ead of Knerafaud who would have sac
rificed his own life at any time for the ^o-
teotion of his commander, is required to dis
honor and disgrace him “ P® ac f e 'hi7fidher
is required to vote the infamy of his tamer.
ment declares that “Congress shall have
power to enforce, by appropriate legislation,
the provisions of this arlicle.” Here we have
a power given Congress to destroy till the
rights of tbe States, and centralize all power
in the National Government. Under Un-
pretext that a State has abridged tbe privi
leges or immunities of a ci izen by refusing
suffrage to tbe negroes, Congress may, endei
this section, declare universal suffrage to tb u
class of persons. Under the pretext that
some one has been deprived by State Court-
of his liberty or property, they may give vtie
United States Courts entire jurisdictiou of all
litigation in the State. The legislative, exe
cutive, aud judiciary departments of the State
Governments may, under this section, be
entirely swallowed up by Congress, and Un-
American Union made one grand cunsoli
dated empire.
The proposed amendment was not sub
mitted to the President for bis approval, as
required by the Constitution, before being
submitted lo tbe State Legislatures, and tluy
sbould not, therefore, consider or regard it
at ali as a proposed Constitutional Amend
ment for their adoption. Eleven States were
excluded from Congress when it passed, and
the President never sanctioned it.
But I feel well assured that Congress-lid
not expect or wish the ratification of* this
amendment by the States. The people were
lo be made to believe that Congress intended
to reconstruct the Union. This was “a tub
thrown out to tbe whale” to amuse them till
the fall elections were over. Congress does
not intend to have the States reconstructed
till after the Presidential election in 18G8.
The Southern Stales are to be kept out of the
Union till after that period, in order to insure
the Radical triumph.
The object of the Radical leaders is to per
petuate the power of their party. This they
think they cau do by negro suffrage, und by
that alone. But they were afraid to put that
plaDk in their platlorm at present. It will

—General Gleason, who is in New York,
la about to forward to J^ashlogtoR a Claim
of #60,000 against tbe' British government
for illegal imprisonment in Ireland, on the
charge of Fenian ism.
It will be kept in mind that the Presi
dent has recommended Thursday, tbe 29tb
lngj.ni, as a day of general thanksgiving
throughout the United Biatea.
House adjourned.
Tne ball of the Merchants und Mecuanics
Fire Company of this city came off last night,
and was well attended by “the beauty and
the chivalry” resident and temporarily so
journing here- At 9 o’clock, au improvised
bras9 band, which discoursed most excellent
music, opened the exercises with a grand
overtoil', in the large diuing room of the
Miiledgeville Hotel, and soon fair dames and
guy gallants commenced
‘To chase the flowing hoar* wilt flying feel ”
At the “wee sms’ hour ayant. the
’twu,” supper was announced, and a finer
collation it has seldom been my lot to look
upon. Tbi9 was gotten np by tbe good
ladies of the city, and was a donation to the
Fire Company. This is the only Fire Com
pany at the seat of government, and it is
; uergetically struggling lor existence. There
is a large amount of valuable State property
here, aud this Fire. Coihpsny thinks the
State should assist it, at least, so £tr aa to
iornisn it.with a jpodengne.
