Aaron Bradley, (nig) haa lieen

Tile E Vila of JVon-*cilon—The
Lesson l<f|si‘atctl In (lie Ke-
niiU of llic Alabama Elec-
lion.
We have ever hold tho belief, that but
for the timidity and mistaken policy of
tho people iiy amrendering tho field to
negroes mid renegado whites, on tlie
Convention question, our noble State
might have been spared the disgraceful
scenes in Atlanta, which disgust and as
tonish the whole world. Why urgo all
to regialcr, thus endorsing tho authority
of tho rechnMruction act, and limn cast
away tho boriofita to be derived from
the voting privilege ?
Negative opposition hut evinces our
wcukucA*, nod provoke* additional mid
inoro high iinndud legialutioa on tho
port of the radical*. Thus evun before
the wiroa have Hushed abroad tho in
telligence that under tlm military hill,
reconstruction hna failed in Alabama,
Mr. Sliermnn introduces n measure to
provide for that contingency, by repeal
ing tho clause making a majority of the
registered vote essential to suceea*.—-
And this wo ore ooolly told it pimply re
moving loyal dienhxLty. Supposing,
however, that this plan had really de
feated tho GonalituUon, tho rump Con-
gresn in n single brief month, could, and
»could have submitted it a w-cond timo
for ratification, with auuh modifications
ua must ensure ita adoption.
On tho oilier bund, hud tho whiloa of
our slater Htnte muster*! their forces,
and sought to control also by every pos-
alhlo tncuns the neyto Vote, thoir triumph
which was certain, might at least have
prolonged indefinitely the present mili
tary rule, mid allowed time for tho Con
servative reaction to he completed. If
rvoonstruction cun he stnvod nfT now,
another gunurul election will “soldo the
haali" of tho Radicals. Kvcn tho sub
lime impudence of their louder*, would
hesitate to inaugurate a government in
the face of cloarly expressed und well
defined majoiilics of the people.
Again, io Georgia, the struggle will
ho fur moro doubtful and difficult. Prof
iting by tho excesses of their Alabama
brethren, the Atlanta negro Constitution
which in well nigh complete, exhibits tho
most diabolical admixturo of good and
ovil, and for cunning and plausibility, is
worthy of a Muohiiovol. Relief, no im
prisonment for debt, the protection of
the rights of married women, and many
idler popular ideas nro adroitly interwo
ven, flud sandwiched with universal suf
frage, mid other radical dogmus.
It is confidently believed, and wo fear
with loo ryuoli reuse n, that tho great
law of aolf-prcaorvutioii will impol thou
sands of debtor* to vote for the Connti
tuiioii, to obtain relief from their lia
bilities. Little do they cure who wields
the power, if ease and independence are
assured to theiuselvoa. Hence, that
tute oily Gammon, Forney, is already
combatting tho nsiertiou that a mens
urc like this w ill not utund the test of
tho Courts.
His urgiimout which is extremely
subtle and artful, may ho thus summa
rily stated :
That ns emancipation, which was n
war measure, and. in conflict with llm
Constitution, has been ncquieneed in by
the courts ns n political necessity, ami
indis|M>nsnhle to the rights of the color
ed raoo, so relief from pecuniary burdens
rendered insurmountable by tlm result
of the tame aw, is equally essential t.
tho whites. He n!»o holds that the Su
premo Court us in tho matter of lb
Georgia injunction, will decide that the
question is beyond their jurisdiction and
purely a political ono in its present con]
nection. That as a conquered people
wo lost nil claim to eonatitiitioual rights,
and therefor© cun only uvuil our* Ives of
its provisions in future, after expiating
past faults, and becoming leeonstruct-
cd, dc mite, and na it woru ab initio. All
thisarf ca/dandum .-Hufl' is intended to de
moralise and slin|K‘ public opinion North
and South, with a view to radicalising
the reliel Htnte*, and securing their votes
in the electoral collego.
Willi these light* before us, the path
of duty in our judgment is most obvious]
Let us organise and marshall our
atrongth in every village and hamlet of
the Htnte, tbut wo may vote down the
ncuraod instrument, which, like a black
abyss half hidden by pleasant foliage
and flowers, yawns in our pathway am)
threatens to engulf ua.
Now or never lot the question
whito supremacy, and our ability to
away the npiniuna and votes of an igno
rant aud inferior raoo, be determined.
If true to ourselves, who cau doubt the
roHiilt?
While these are our views, w# would
not be understood however as intending
to ojtpoae the policy whatever it may
bo, which ahull bo udupted by the Con
aervutive Executive Committee. In
mm alone there is (.treogtli, and nil per
sonal considerations uud private opin
ions should he sacrificed upon tho altar
of our commgn country.
A full ventilation of the whole subject
can at least do no barm.
