Foaming with rage and uttering horrible yells, the nondescript seized the foremost dog and tore it to pieces with his talons ; caught the next dog and crushed his skull with his tusks, it then jumped into the Big Black river, and after diving several times swnm to the opposite bank, and disappeared In the woods.

And Gorgiamt! men who boost of having been “highly non ored" by our pooplo, leading and prompting in all Ino lies by which the cheat is to be accomplished 1 hut the half is not yet told. This fulso promise ot relief m the negro Con stitution is not only itself a cheat, hut it is to (Ifrat all legitimate relif, and pre vent our people from doing what they otherwise would do to improvo their condition. Let us enumerate soiuo of the evils that must result from this ag itation : 1st. A lsi ge majority of creditors tire now willing to nut liberally with their debtors, and take a reasonable portion of their debt But debtors, by this re lief agitation, are encouraged to out/ nothing. Creditors will bo Compelled to hold on to their debts until the laws can l)e enforced, and all the time inter est is accumulating. The time will come when courts will bo open and law will bo administered. These creditors, out raged by the efforts of Ihe dobtors to get rid of all the debt, will exact the last dollar and listen to no cniupromiHo. 2d. Very unfortunate bitterness of feeling will spring up among our peo- pie. Kftbrts which ought to bo given to production nnd improvement of prop erty. will be given to conceal, hide and cover up property. There are unacrii pnlolls lawvera now engaged in oneour- «g*ng this business. I know of lawyers who nN now promised largo amounts to defeat the c* lleotii n of debts. 1 know some foolish debtors who nre paying luWyer* amounts to defeat debts, which the endifor* would accept and give up the debts. Why, you will say such men aio cra zy ! Ho in ono sense, they are. They nre crazy with a passion against cruel- itors. they prefer to pay the money to lawyers who Hatter them to credi tors who trusted them. So, many men nre run crazy. EVer> man who votes to accept negro dominion to get Tulso relief is crazy I Every man w ho ho votes i« selling his « hildron's hopes and his wife's happiness for it uhuat—worse than n cheat Why. some of the Bank* offered/or/y thnu-ond dollars to tha negro Convention Letter from Eon. B. H- Hill. Atuenh, (It., March 20,1SC8. Jig Dear Sir Put don me for so long delaying to comply with your request. I will endeavor to give you, in a brief space, the arguments against the “Belief features” of the proposed negro CoDSti tntion. I. In the that place, all the provisions of this negro Constitution on this sub ject are contrary to the Constitution of ihe United Stubs, and, therefore, emmet ufl’old tlm relief promised. Now, luW'. yere and judges have sometimes differ- I d us to the vulidity of *hut are called Stay laws; but the relief pr posed hy this negro Constitution is to destroy pri vate contracts, either by refusing the courts jurisdiction over thfim, nr taxing them out of existence, or by exempting property already liable from continuing liable fur their payment. Now, l affirm that no court, no rouge and no respect uble lawyer has been found who will pretend thut a State or territory can destroy private contracts in either ci* these ways, or in any other way. Th moment tho question is examined, that moment it ceases to ho debatable. The Constitution suys no Statu shall pass u * law impairing the obligation of con tracts.” Now, uhg was this clause ill- sorted i i the Constitution? Mr. Madi son says it was inserted because "our ex- jterienre" taught us it was "nsressary.'’— \V hut experience ? This: alter the revo lutionary war the p«o de were in debt and hnrd pressed. Theraf re, says Mr. Madison, “In tho internal adtninis*ration of the Btutoe a violation of contracts had become familiar, in tho form of depreci ated paper made a legal tender, nr prop erty substituted for money, of install ment luwa, nnd of 1he oer/usiunt of the court* of jUstke,” Now, reader, w hnt is ment by occlusions of justice ? Why, clos ing them up, nr denying them lunHh'ction of certain deitsf So, another distinguish ed author, giving the reason for this clsiisu in the Constitution, says tlmt it was because^ among others, ‘ laws shut ting up the rotirls for c* rtuin pen ds und under cortuin rtrcunuttancea were not uni re pient Upon thev-ptututc book" of many of the Htutcs composing th# Un- i- n ” So this cluilPO was put ii\ the Consti tution for the express pur|Kise of prevent ing tho States from doing exactly what this negro Constitution proposes to do! I find the authorities high, nlinierotii and direct on this point. And to show that ths nuthority covers all the inodes of repudiation mentioned in this Consti tution, including the very dirty and onu- temptible device of taring dot>H} out of existence, I will quote one more sen lonue : “The greet object of the fram ers of lho Constitution undoubtedly was to secure the inviolability of contracts. The pni>c>ph‘ was to be protected in ichat srer t'orm it might he assailed. No etiu munition was nttempted to he untde of tho modes by which contracts might be impaired. The intention iran to prohibit srerg mods or itevire for purpose.” A very great writer on this subj'-ct speaks ol the devilish ingenuity of bail di-mn gognes, who always beset republics, watching every opportunity to take ad vantage of the pussioiis or rnisfortiiiies of the ptsiplu to make corrupt promises lor no purposes but to push themselves fowarn, It wns upon tliis Very subject of Relief tint* Slitiy’s rebellion in Minutarlinselta whs stirred up. And it is significant that the demagogm-s in the Convention, and their dirty advocates now on tho stump in Georgia, are using the very ideas and borrowing thr very speeches of the wicked mm who stirred up Hhay’s reliellmn ! Hut these creatures m Geor gia are much woise than were the men in Massachusetts, because there was no Constitution to be violated in that day, and the clause we nre considering was put in tho Constitution to prevent the recurrence of nuch filthy demagogues. The creatures huve reappeared in Geor gia to indoctrinate New Knghmd ideas into our people. What a shame thut they should have found already here men far meaner than thuinselvesl Kcaduis who desire to fully under stand this whoL sul.J ct can do so by reading Minot's History of the Insur rection in Massachusetts, Ellett's Be teres on ratification of the constitution in Viiginir Massachusetts and other States, Madison Papers, 1st and 3d vok, Stofy on tho Constitution, und the Deci sions of the Supreme Court of tho Uni ted Statos referred to by ■< udge Story. There is bIko n short but forcible pas sage in the Federalist, No. 44. See also 5, Marshall's “Life of Washington, und 3, Hildreth,” U. S. II. But in truth it is well known that tho men who were chiefly instrumental in putting these relief provisions in this 1 seeking toigjio advantage of tho punplu’i negro Constitution, did not intend they I misfortunes, to inflame their passions should have effect. They were deli her- and create false hojws, to enable them ately devised as a chant. This is now und tho thieves who always follow them well established. 1 have heard men en- to obtain the offices of the country and gaged in this cheat admit it. I have the 1 get posscs-ion of the resources of the highast authority for saying that assur-1 people. 3 They are the moil -who huve ances were sent from the Radical loaders defrauded , .orphans* and widows and in YVnshington that relief might be put I wards, nnotiave made fortunes using io the Constitution to gel votes,out would j trust property^siid now wish to live in be stricken out after the rotes were obtained luxury and turn off these orphans and 1 cannot allude to theso fuels without widow* with nothing. A tjheeial provis feeling indignant. I sannot seo thought- inn is put in this CunF-titntiuii f.,r this less people going lo hear men speak win very class. A just God uggut to burn are notoriously engaged in this disgrace- up a people with fire who would ratify iul work of helping to carry out tliis a Constitution with such n provision in cheat npoi) tho people, without feeling a it. I repeat, hy this Constitution o true shame for humanity and the develop- ice who has preserved "und taken caie ruents of free institutions. Ilow can of his ward’s property muct account for it; but tho trustee who has vs*l tho or phan’s property nnd made a fortune on it for himself, however rich now, is relieved of all accountability ! It is a orimo to vote . for such a Constitution, or to approve it, t whioh ought to send ovorv man guilty to the penitentiary for life. Is u mnn who would approve such n Constitution fit to be tiusted again will) an orphan's property, or loft as executor or advisor for n widow ? 7th. The Homestead feature is so ar- rnngud that a rich man in a city maybe worth a hundred thousand dollars, and not one dollar of it be liable for his debts; while a poor man may huve only prop erty worth twoorthreo thousand dollars and he cannot use ono dollar of it to en able him to get credit to buy a pnttnd of meat or a bushel of moul tor his fam ily ! A man may have a vacant lot set spurt under this Homestead law, und then ho may spend all his other proper ly improving it, nnd build a factory, a foundry, a hotel, or anything else he may choose, and not ono dollar of it onn ever ho taken for his debts, and the Ilegis lature cannot pass a law to make It lia ble | A poor man may have his land, and no mule or provisions to enable him to work it, yet he cannot use that land to get cither stock or provisions to enu- lile him to make his land support him. A mechanic can collect his bill for lum ber or work on a palace, but thu farmer can't collect his debt f<>r peas, potatoes, chickens and butter sold to tho pooplo irbo own the paluce ! Was ever such a Constitution hoard of before in u civilized country? Who now chii doubt it wua made by negroes, felons, carpet-baggers ami renegades tu deceive and destroy all honest, decent and respectable people, and to provido S lander for rogues, robbers, thioveajntd few England vagabonds ? Pardon me, my dour sir, If 1 have made my brief letter a long ono. 1 could increase thu damning f'eaturos and effects of this negro Constitution Until hot it book could contain thetfun fecord. I cannot close without iigdln Humming up tho loss and gmn proposed to our pooplo if they will rutiiy this Constitu tion, because of this promise of relief. Here is the bargain In few words : If wo establish the Constitution \ get negro votora ^ negro jurors; negro legislators; neg o judges; negro mag istrates ; negro mayors and imiuioipn) officers ; negro sheriffs, dorks, ordina ries, eoiiatnlilos, negro militia end mili tia officers, and negroes in every other position which renegade und Now En gland whites' will not appropriate to thcmselvfcH.

Without thoflo negroes what support would the RadicuTa In Georgia have ? They hrtVo literally no decoiil native white supporters. Tho report tlmt over thirty thousand whites voted for Convention is the dirty lio of a England Radical.

The blackest annals of revolutionary hate and crime in countries civiliz< d nr llouiniicc of n Double Mni- liage. The following tale—a sort of Enoch Arduti romance—is told by the Chicago Post. It concerns ono John Edwards, who married at tho breaking out of tho war, and shortly nfter enlisted and inarched bravely South to escape domes tic tyrnhHy at homo. Of course Mid fitted u fow tears when lio wont away, arid he Ver^ likely did tho sumo. It i« a boH of CeheNlly en tertained sentimental belief that all Aol- diets are nt ono time or other the pro prietors of popular tears, which tliby wipe nwny, nnd that they tulle rt gboti dual about their mothers. Itoifretef that may be in reality, certain it is iliat if Edwards over did think about his wife, he took no stops to lot her know it. She Came to tho conclusion after a time At tho same time thut this oomfortablo assurance settled Upon her mind, another tender appeal wuB Ittudo to her heart. Mr. Edwards WalktJr daw her, Wus charmed with her, spoke orthodox nonsence to her, no doubt, after tho Uftual fashion, offered to tuko such caro of htJr as hud never boeu taken before, and at tho Same tirno promised to bo falhor to hor boy. lie becamo consequently tho husbhtid of tho blooming young widow, nnd the futher not only of tho uoy to whose pa rentage ho really had no very well au thenticated claims, but also of another oherub, nlso a boy, who he know did owe his existence to the fact that hound tho widow had corno to a mutual under standing. There wore no disagreements between tho second husband nnd the very loving and entihlnblo Indy. Evory thing went in their housohold as merry ns ii there had been u perpetual chimo going on in it of marriage bells. They UuVor calculated upon thu ap|>eurancu of tin Enoch Arden on tho Bcetio. Tiloy never*thought perhaps of the soldier, who, though ho was supposed to bo res pectably and honorably defunct, was in fact, uctually alive, lio was happy, lio may havo called to mind at tunes certain family reiiiihiseonces in connec tion with his wife and boy, but hu did not griovo much about their h ss nor make particular inquiries regarding their well being. He invested some money lie hull in purohnsing a goodly farm in this State, and felt himsolf supremely happy. Enoch Ardon, it will bo remembered, when he found that his vtife was mar- Htfdi sneaked iittd tho garden, peeped in through tho window nt hor and hor mil ler, saw that th«ty WON happy, nnd his own family was thriving, Mild then Went disconsolately nwlty, nnd full miserable till tho day tlmt ho died. The Chances are thut if ho had gone boldly inj seeing how fondly Annie had felnembered hint for u long time, and whnt n reverence ho •was held in by tho honest miller, that he would have relinqiiistied hci und por- hups advanced him a few hundred pounds iu order to build a boat aud commence business again. Edwards did not gronu at nil whon happening to come into this city about six months ngo he oncountorcd his for- mor wife accompanied by his boy, nnd the other ono who was not his.
