It us pleasure to lay before our readers following in truly letter lrom the Hon. ^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 . . SENATE. MuxdBOETilLB, Nov. 7, 1866. Senate met at 10 o’clock, A. M. Prayer by Rev.

Constitution. \ Mr. Johnson, ot Forsyth—To amend act 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 be inserted two years hence. When Stewart sale.
