Honesty in Alabama.—'We see that on a test
vote in the Convention of Alabama 34 voted in
favor of repudiating the State debt and 58 against
it. For the credit of Alabama we rejoice to see
that so large a majority of her Convention are in
favor of paying their just debts. We regret to
see that even 34 members of her Convention
should be in favor of repudiation.
The 4'on veil li»Ji—I In - naj lo linrmouize.
It is known to tho intelligent reader that there
are conflicting opinions as to what is the best
course to be pursued by the Convention. Some
want as little done as possible. We are of this
number. Others, are for making some very im
portant changes in the Constitution; and others
still, advocate a thorough and radical clearing out
of all objectionable, features in the State Consti
tution. Now, we think, that there can be a com
promise of all these opinions on the following ba
sis of action:
On the first day let a committee be appointed
to report, next day, three ordinances: one re
scinding tho ordinance of secession, passed Jan
uary 19th, 1861 : Another, declaring the abolition
of slavery; and another looking to the organi
zation of the State, and fixing a day of election.
Pass these three ordinances through with as little
discussion as possible. Send them to the Provis
ional Governor for approval! and request him to
forward them w ithout delay to the President. He
might do so by telegraph, and get the President’s
reply in a few hours thereafter. That these ordi
nances will be adopted by the Convention, does
not admit of a doubt. Why not then act on them
first? By so doing, that portion of the Conven
tion, which is in favor of doing as little as possi
ble, will be satisfied. When this much has been
accomplished, and the President's sanction re
ceived, then the way is open for doctoring the
State Constitution. By following this line of pol
icy, the election for Governor and members of the
Legislature may be ordered by Gov. Johnson as
early as the 15th of November, and the Legisla
ture may be in session as early as Wednesdiy the
6th of December. It is very important that the
Legislature should assemble before Christmas.
Every intelligent man will understand why it
should be so, without giving particular reasons.
We believe that the plan we have suggested
above will meet the approbation of a majority of
the Convention, be acceptable to the Governor
and the President, and more thoroughly harmon
ise conflicting opinions, than any we have yet
seen advanced. These views might be elaborated,
but they are thrown out as suggestions, and will,
we hope, «ommend themselves to the intelligent
men of the State.
Alabaum State Debt.

bama Slate convention, on the question of repudiation
of the State debt, and decided yeas 34, nays 58. This

MV PLAN.
Messrs. Editors : I see in the Southern Recorder
of the 19tb inst., some suggestions, in the way ot
heads, for amending the State Constitution. Now
let mo briefly give you my ideas about the duties
of the approaching State Convention, and tLey
are as follows:
First—Organise.
Second—Adopt rules.
Third—Rescind the ordinance of Secession,
passed on the 19th day of January, 1861, and de
clare all acts of that Convention, in conflict with
the laws and Constitution of the United States,
null and void, and do this without debate.
Fourth—Declare negro slavery abolished.
Fifth—Re-distiict the Slate, or make such
changes in the present system as may be neces
sary. ■
Sixth—Declare all acts of the General Assem
bly of the State, passed during the war, in con
flict with the laws and constitution of the U. S.
and the emancipation proclamation, to be null and
void—those not in conflict of full force and effect.
Seventh—Appoint the first Wednesday in De
cember, 1865, for the election of Governor, mem
bers of Congress and members of the Legislature.
Eighth—Appointthe second Wednesday id Jan
uary, 1866, for the meeting of the General Assem-
of the State at Milledgevilie.
Ninth—Provide for the payment of the officers
and members of the Convention, and all claims
against the Provisional Government of Georgia.
Tenth—Adjourn and go home.
Now, Messrs Editors, the work I have cut out
here, for the Convention, can be disposed of in
one week. It ought to he done in three days.
DISPATCH.
A CARD -
To tU voters of Ba'dicin county :
Although I have unhesitatingly refused up to the
present time to suffer myself to be announced as a
candidate for a seat in the approaching Convention,
a change, however, lias come over my feelings in this
respeet. However averse I may have been at first,
to occupy the attitude ot an aspirant to so responsible
a position, my reluctance has since in a great measure
been overcome by the earnest and renewed solicita
tions of those who have approached me upon this sub
ject. Feeling now no longer disposed to oppose my
former inclination to their wishes, I deem it due to
them and to you to indicate the measures which I shall
support should you think fit to honor me with a seat in
the Convention. 1 shall endeavor to do this in a brief
and summary manner and without resorting to atgn-
mentation in advocacy of my particular views. To
begin with the beginning, I shall vote for a repeal of
the Ordinance of secession, and for the insertion of a
provision in our constitution inhibiting hereafter the
existenceof negro slavery within the limits of the Srtite.
These two measures, 1 consider indispensably neces
sary to regain our former position in the Union and
thereby free us from the oppression of military domi
nation.” There are other measures of secondary impor
tance, which, in my opinion, are essential to a proper
| administration of our public affairs and which may be
equally so to carry into effect the provisions of a newly
organized system of government. These relate to the
tenure of the Executive office—to the retention ot the
Supreme Court,—to the mode of electing Judges ef the
Superior Courts—and to the rearrangement of our
Congressional and Legislative districts. . In regard to
the first, I shall vote that the Governor be ineligible to
office a second time until after the expiration of an
interval equal to the term of his office, thereby guard
ing against the corrupting influence of continued Dat-
ronage to a particular class of individuals, who from
selfish considerations Btand prepared to defend mid
applaud every Executive measure whether right or
wrong. I shall vote for the retention of the Supreme
Court as one of thechiel pillars of ourpoliticaledifk-e,
establishing uniformity of decision by its supervisory
power over inferior Judicatories and thus enabling us
to understand what are our rights under the operation
of our laws;—for the Judges «1 the Superior Courts to
be elected by popular suffrage and by this means ren
dering them independent of and beyond the control of
the party prejudice cf a partisan Executive; fora
reorganization both of our Congressional and Legisla
tive districts in order that any inequality in the first
tnny be remedied, and in the last, that the people, in
their present impoverished condition ma)- not be over
taxed to raise a revenue to pay the members of nearly
fifty counties whose taxes in more prosperous times
have proved inadequate for this purpose. Such are
the views which I entertain upon these various sub
jects and should they be iu accordance with your own.
I will endeavor to the extent Of my ability to have
them incorporated in the constitution of our State.—
I might indeed, extend my remarks in regard to a poli
cy not unfrequently alluded to and which if adopted
would inevitably leave afoul and indelible stain upon
the hitherto unsullied reputation of our noble old State;
I refer particularly to the repudiation of its indebtedness;
but as the subject belongs exclusively to the province of
our Legislature, I have perhaps already said enough in
speaking of its detrimental effects to show my aversion
and opposition to that mistaken policy. Oue more word,
and that in relation to myself, and I have nothing
further to say. Others. I know have preoccupied the
field in advance of myself,—and it preoccupation gave
a preferable and an exclusive claim you who have
known me long and well, know full well, I am not the
man voluntarily to trespass upon an admitted right,
or to innovate upon an established usage.
J. W. A. Sasfqbt).
Orsunances-Tassf.i>.—Tbe Convention on'
Monday passed an ordinance so amending tbe
State Constitution ns to enlarge-tfie jurisdiction
of Magistrates’- Courts,-to* cases involving,one
hnndied iiibteadrtlf Sip-former-provision restrict
ing the amount tq.lifty<clbllars. -
This was necessary iff'order to give’a speedy
trial at as iiitla.'cpka'aarpossible in numerous dees
arising in the prtssent unsettled slate of atiairs.
Another consideration in favor of the action is,
that the office of Justice is thus made of snffi
cient interest and character to iuduce men of-abil-
ity to seek ttie position, and the people will see
the importance of electing such to protect their
own interests.
The Conveniion yesterday passed an ordinance
declaring that an election shall be held in this
State on the first Monday in November for Gov
ernor, incmbeis of the Legislature, and all tbe
county officers, tinder the laws now in force, ex
cept Prebate Judges ; and also for the election of
Mayor. Cuuncilmen a id Aldermen lor Mobile,
end for Mayor, Aldermen and Clerk for Montgom
ery, on the first Monday in December.
The General Assembly elected under this ordi
nance will meet in Montgomery on the third Mon
day in November.
it will tbus be only about two months till A1
abama will be on her old footing again, so far as
her internal government is concerned.
it will be observed that no day is set for the
election of members in Congress, the Governor be
ing authorized to issue writs of election. The ob
ject of this apparent omiss^in is to allow time for
the State to be apportioned and re districted, after
w hich the Governor will, it is presumed, order an
election as soon as possible.
The omission of a day for electing Circuit and
Probate Judges probably has reference to some
actic-n changing the mode in which tbe election of
these officers, or some of them, shall take place;
or it may be that the higher Courts are not so
much needed immediately as legislative and exec
utive officers to meetMhe existing demands of the
community without aresort in those judicial con
structions which must, in the nature of things,
follow altet wards.— Mont. Advertiser, 20ft.

What is to be done with Criminals?—
Wc understand that l a persons convicted of crime
were brought to this place last week. The Pen
itentiary is iu no condition to receive them —
Ought not the Legislature to be brought together
at tbe earliest possible moment to provide for this,
and other pressing matters of public interest ?
By all means let us have a'si ssion of tbe Legisla
ture before Christ mas. The public necessities de
mand it.

Gin House Burnt.—We regret to announce
the burning of the Gin House, and 70 bales of
Cotton, belonging to Mr. Zacliariah Edmondson
of Putnam county, by fire, on Friday 15th of
September. It was tho work of an incendiary.
REPUDIATION —The Conventions in the States
of Mississippi and Alabama have by decided ma
jorities expressed their disapprobation of tbe pro
position to repudiate the debt of their respective
States. We have no doubt that Georgia's Con
vention, if tho subject is brought before it, will
• be equally emphatic in opposition to repudiation.

Editors of Federal Union :
Gentlemen ;—My name having been announced
as a candidate for the -State Convention, I feel it
obligatory to declare the opinions I entertain, and
tbe course I tvould pursue if elected to that body.
The dignity and prosperity of the State under
present circumstances, require its speedy return to
the Union ; and other political measures, however
expedient, are of secondary importance at this
time.
Therefore to prevent delay and avoid the possi
bility of disagreement. I would advocate only such
alterations and amendments of the present Con
stitution, as are necessary to restore the State to
its former relation with the Federal Government,.
I would for this reason favor as short a session of
the Convention as possible, and coniine its action
principally to the following duties:
1st. The repeal of tbe ordinance of secession
2d. The abolition of slavery and involuntary
servitude, except for crime.
3d Re-districting the State, and providing for
elections at a day as early as possible.
To more’fully present my views, I will address
the citizens of Baldwin county (if agieeableto
them.) on next Saturday, at 11 o’clock, A. M., in
Milledgevilie.
Very respectfully,
T. W. WHITE.
Negro Suffrage —The National Intelligencer
thinks it very clear that no party which might or
ganize on the proposition to force negro suffrage
by Federal usurpation on the Southern States
could succeed before the people. It adds, “we do
not believe that there are three Northern States
which would sustain such an issue, if to-morrow
fairly and squarely presented.”
Good News to many.—We learn upon what
we deem to be good authority, that a telegram has
beeu received at the executive department from
tho president stating that all persons coming un
der the thirteenth exception of the amnesty pro
clamation (the twenty thousand dollar clause,)
who l ave filed their applications for pardon, and
have ihe endorsement of the governor wiil be per
mitted to vote for delegates to the convention.
. [ Telegraph.
Gen. Beauregard took the oath of alle
giance on the 17th inst. He is still an applicant
for pardon.
12T A Washington dispatch, of tho 17th, says:
General Henry C. Wayne, of Georgia, son of
Judge Wayne, of the United States Supreme
Court, and major and quartermaster in the United
States army before the war, has been pardoned by
the president. General Wayne was in th*e militia
service in Georgia, and never took, a very active
part in the war.
Resolutions cf the IYpw York Democracy.
The following are the resolutions passed by the
New York State Democracy at their late State Con
vention ;
1. Resolved, That the past history of the De
mocratic party is to be found in the proudest re
cords of the country, and its creed in the Consti
tution, and that it is ready to meet the great ques
tions of the future with the patriotism, fidelity to
principle, and practiced wisdom that have charac
terized its long and auspicious identification with
the history of tbe Union.
2. Resolved, That we congratulate the people
of this State and of the .nation, upon the termina
tion of the civil war and on tbe return of peace,
and especially that the blessing is obtained with a
preserved Union and undivided, country, and the
reassertion of constitutional liberty throughout
the land. • *
3 Resolved, That as the first fruits of this tri
umph the people demand the subordination of the
military to civil rule, the restitution of the author
ity of the courts, and the recognition of the equal
ity cf the States; that we regard all efforts, either
by prolonging the military rule, or by denying
the right of representation to the States, in order
to compel them to adopt, negro equality or negro
suffrage as an element of their Constitutions, as
tending to delay and prevent the pacification of
the country, and to subvert the principles of the
Government, and endanger the liberties of the
people.
4. Resolved, That in the plan of President
Johnson for tho speedy reconstruction of the
States late in rebellion to their old positions in
tho Union—by commencing the work of recogni
tion at the point cf secession, and confiding to
those recognized as electors by the laws of the
rtspcctive States, leaving the question of suffrage
where the Constitution places it, to tbe future ac
tion of the several States—we-recognize the en
lightened statesmanship, sound political theory
and old-fashioned time-honored regard for tbe re
lations and rights of the States and the Federal
Government, as established by the Constitution;
and we pledge to the President, iu this great work,
our cordial and energetic support.
5. Resolved, That while we stigmatize as alike
/ajai to national prosperity and to the rights of
labor ttve doctrine that a national debt is a nation
al blessing, we recognize the obligation by which
the whole resources of the country are pledged to
the payment of the public debt: and we believe
the interest and honor of the people are involved
in its faithful fulfillment, and that all constitution
al and legal means should be taken to compel
those who hold the property of the country, real
and personal, to share in the public burden, be
lieving that equality of taxation is not only equi
ty, but also tne soundest possible basis of public
credit.
6. Resolved, That the thanks and gratitude of
the people are due to tho soldiers and. sailors of
the North, and to their brave commanders, who
have illustrated the pages of our history with
deeds of valor that elevate the fame of the people,
and vindicate the character of republican govern
ment.
7. Resolved, That the position originally taken
by our Government in reference to the interfer-
j ence of European powers with the people of this
continent called the Monroe Doctriue, is a policy
which has preserved peace and avoided foreign
intervention, and cannot be abandoned without
dishonor to ns as a power among the nations, nor
without danger to democratic institutions.
8. Resolved, That the frank and generous ac
ceptance by the Southern people of the condition
iu which they have been left by the recent war,
including t he abandonment of slavery, removes
the main difficulties in the way of the restoration
cf amicable feelings among the States, and that it
should be met on the pai t of the Federal Govern
ment, in a spirit of conciliation and kindness.
9. Resolved, That banishing all minor party
considerations, and acting in the spirit of an en-
laiged and generous patriotism we cordially sup
port Piesident Johnson in the policy which he has
avowed, to enable the States lately in revolt to
put their Governments in practical operation, and
in all such constitutional measures as they may in
augurate to harmonize the country and restore
ami cement a Union of States.
Is it True ?
We admire the New York News for the
manliness and fearlessness which it con
stantly evinces in repelling tbe slanders
on the Southern States with which tbe
radical presses abound, and for its stern
adherence to principle and the Constitu
tion under all circumstances. But. we find
credited to it a statement made, and an
indignant denunciation of the circumstance
referred to, which wc believe to have na
real foundation. It says that its inform
ant, “instructed and guided by a friendly
negro, discovered and collected in the
cabins of the black population within the
limits of llussell county, Ala., concealed
firearms amounting in value to over three
thousand dollars not miscellaneous arms
that might have been collected by the ne
groes from various quarters, hut “they
were virgin to powder and ball, and supe
riorin finish and power and destruction to
any weapons used by the Confederate ar
mies.”
Adjacent to Russel county as this city
is, it is very strange that we have never
heard of such a discovery of arms in the
hands of the negroes, if they really had*
them. We think that the News has been
imposed upon in this particular.
