While it is true that fraud and corruption are not tolerated in their ranks, yet no instance can be produced where any man, black or white, has through fear of life or limb from Conservative violence, been forced to vote contrary to his own free wiH. How stands the case with the Radical party ? The Macon Telegraph, commenting on a riegro meeting held in Macon last Monday, and particularly on the harangue of one Jeff Long, negro, says: “ Jeff seemed to fear disaffection in his ranks, and plainly and forcibly advised the adminis tration of 39 lashes to all colored men who should refuse to register, and 200 lashes for fuiling to go to the polls ; while for that negro who should presume to exercise the right of choosing for himself, and voting a Democratic ticket, was reserved the fate of the gibbet, as represented in the caricature borne in the pro cession—a darkey hanging and bearing the fol lowing inscription in rude letters: “ ‘ Every Man Don’t Vote A Radical Ticket this the Way we Want DO Him. Hang Him by Neck.’ “Not alone was this to be their fate, but their corpses were to be denied Christian bu rial.” The feelings, ideas and sentiments of the speaker and the meeting who carried the ban ner with the inscription cannot be misunder stood. No black shall enjoy the privilege of voluntary action or a free ballot save at the cost of stripes or the gibbet. The question is, shall the leaders among the negroes be per mitted to frighten the ignorant and timid of their race and force them into the Radical ranks nolens volens? We apprehend not, and hence wc now warn all the controlling spirits among the Ethiopian race that violence begets violence, and not only is their conduct viola tive of Gen. Meade’s election order, but will bring trouble upon their heads. If the negro is free to vote without the dictation of the white man, he is also free to vote without dic tation from his own race. The following gentlemen were then registered as delegates representing the respective dis tricts and counties: COWETA COUNTY.

This respondent ho.d, ip pursuance of the Constitution, re quired the opinion of each principal offi cer of the executive departments upon this question of Constitutional executive power and duty, and. had been advised by each of thqm, inejudiog the said Stan ton Secretory for the Department of War, that ufedfeY the Constitution df the 1 United States.’this power was lodged by tile Con stitution in the President of the United States,..and that, consequently, it could be lawfully exercised by him, and the Con gress could not deprive him thereof; and this respondent, in his capacity of Presi dent of the United States, and because in that capacity he was both enabltd and bound to use his best judgment upon this question, did in good faith, and with an honest desire to arrive, at the truth, come to the conclusion and opinion—and did make the same known to the honorable the Senate of the United States, by a mes sage dated on the 2d day of March, 1867, (a true copy whereof is hereunto annexed Uuited Suites to the President, and to be necessary for the complete and proper execution of his constitutional duties, should be in some proper way submitted to that judicial department of the Govern ment, entrusted by the Constitution with the power, and subjected by it to duty, not only of determining, finally,-the con struction and effect of all acts of Congress, but of comparing them with the Consti tution. of the United States and pronounc ing them inoperative when, found iu con flict with that fundamental law which the people have enacted for the govern ment of all their servants.
