Tho result of the Louisiana (Jection
on the convention' question, indicates a
surprising and most unpardonable npu-
thy on the part of tho while population.
It was supposed thut the mm imposition
df the iron clad ontlr ns u li st of loyally
to delegates, had removed the objections
of th® most fastidious. Yet what a
shameful fulling off of tho white vote ns
registered in ihu city of Now Orleans,
mth u wide margin for selection, the
people of Georgiu have now the oppor.

cil n body of her best mid wisest sons,
charged with tho gravest duties overdo
volvod upon any conclave, (Ihu* socon-
sion convention excepted,) since life op-
poiiitiiient of Hutton Ouinott nnd Ly
man Hall to the ConttWht(il Congress.
And yet what spSetade do we le-
hold ? Where there should be union nnd
concert of jtcl ion, discord, apathy,
nnd wilful neglect of duly obtnins
universally. Tho Southern wind deeply
sunken in the slough iff tyranny, scums
incapable of rallying, ami becoming fit
ly impressed with the exigences of the
hour, nnd the urgent need of combined
and instantaneous exertion.
Momentous issues hang suspended in
llio balances. On llio one bund, nrgro,
or rather radical supremacy, with the
blink catalogue of ills which follow ;
tho oilier, relief fruit the thraldom
military despotism, and the restoration
of the union upon equitable principles.
Are we srt hut to honor, so tamo in spo
il, ho dead to our most vital interests, as
to rest supinely when questions like
these are at stake ? A iifllion of sympa
thising Iriends and countrymen, ready
to confront and overwhelm our enemies
look wistfully on, ami gwuit tin: signal
for action from their allies at Ihu South.
If wo pause or (alter; if wo strengthen
tho radicul ranks l*y refusing to enact
impartial laws without rospect to race
or color; or worse Mill, if wo absent
ourselves from tho hallot-box und thus
show that wo arc unworthy to bo free,
then, the inevitable ruin which ensues
will bo of our own seeking. The writer

U-uiber 21, 1807.—Sir . I have received
your communication of this (Jute, asking
my decision of tho question whether
dclgntrn to tlio Stuto Convention will
bo requited to tako tho oath prescribed
by net of Congress for officers or the
United Suites, and section uino of the
net of 9lh July, for ‘‘nil person hereafter
elected or appointed to office in said
Milhtnry Di-tiict under any so-called
State or munieipul authority, or by de-
tail, or appointment of tho District Com
manders." In reply 1 have no hesitation
in saying that delegates to the Stuto Con
vention cannot bo required to tako the
>ath referred to. Section nlno of tho
act of July 19th refers to officers elect
ed under authority of the so-called or
provsional" State Governments, This
•mint be consumed to include <lch-gnt< 8
to a fcjtato Covention elected under mi
thority of tho Congress of tho United
Stutcs. No oath whatever hua been
prescribed by Inw for delegates to the
State Convention, und there is no au
thority but Congress competent to pre
scribe Hitch oath. Tho only restriction
imposed upon tho registered voters in
the selection o! their delegates to tho
Convention is that contained in tho fifth
sccti n of the net of March 2d, vi/.: “No
person excluded from tho privilege of
lidding office by said proposed amend
