Tfi-Wtfij Republican. S ~ |V ' Americus, Georgia: uT W 7 HANCOCK. Editor and Proprietor. THTJ US DAY, AUGUST 1, 1867! Convention or no Convention. What say tlio voter of the Territory of Georgia.’ Are you in favor of a Convention or are you not ? Before you decide this important question ask yourselves which is the greeter evil (there i3 nojess about it,) to remain as you are un der a military government, despotic and op pressive as it is, or to have a Constitution framed by such a mass of ignorance and cor ruption as will inevitably compose tlieCou vention. That it will be a motley mass, sn far as color is concerned, there can bo no doubt.— And it is equally certain that it will he the embodiment of ignorance, influenced and controlled by the deepest depravity that ever marked the character or disgraced the acts of ambitious men. Xhc fiat has already gone forth that if the “rebel States” holds Conventions and fbnn Constitutions for their States respectively, ne gio sufi'rage and equality must be one ot its provisions, immaterial "ho compose the Convention, even if it were compos, dost he best men of the State, they are compelled to incorporate this provision. So have deter mined an irrepressible, Radical-, Rump Con gress. But if a Convention be held, few, if any, conservative, honest, sensible men, will he found in it. . It will be composed of just such men as negro votes, controlled by Radical leaders, sec proper to elect. And what con dition under heaven can po.-sibly be more in tolerable thau to live under laws made and administered by ignorant blacks, under the complete control of the most reckless, corrupt party that God ever permitted to live on the earth. Language is too weak to depict the hor rors that any nation or people must endure when ignorance, corruption and ambition rule. Then aa the only means of avoiding such a a calamity, prevent a Convention, at least for the presei.t Times may get better ere long, and te-construction tendered us on less degrading terms At auy rate nothing cun be lost by waiting. We are now experiencing the nejolus.ultra of ties; otism, under the late acts of Congress and if any change comes at all, it must be for the better, it can't get any worse; Hence we say oppose the Convention, and live under military rule till the crack of doom, rather thau say by our own nets that the ne gro is our equal, hot only civilly- and politi cally, but socially. Another Royal Decree from Bistirct No.. 2. In every State of the Union, North ami South, says the Chronicle & Sentinel, we be lieve the laws prohibit the intermarriage of the white and black races. These laws are based upon sound ethnological reasons, and Lave received the sanction of not only the scientificsavans of the world,but ofal classes of statesmen and politicians We do not propose to argue to-dav in support of these wholesome restrictions against the amalga mation ot iho races. It w ould bo an insult to the intelligence of our readers to attempt it. Our purpose is simply to call attention to the following edict, which we find in an exchange, of King Daniel t! c Ist, of District No. 2, upon the application of a clergyman in North Carolina asking if he would be au thorized to marry a negro man to a white wo man: “The commanding officer is of opinion that | under the Civil Rights Bid these inter-mar. j riagea tire legal, and Rev. Mr. Hood is j authorized to solemnize the ceremony in this j case, notwithstanding the objection of County officers. ” ___ - - -i A Chance yoR thf. Radicals. —The New York Express calls the atten. ion of die Loyal Lcagilc to the fact that some of the Eastern manufacturers are considering the importa- j tion of Chinese laborers. The plan is to contract in China with the laborer for five years’ work at a fixed scale of wages, con siderably lower than that now- established here ; or else to agree to furnish the laborer with food, clothing and lodging, and to pay a certain sum above that, which maybe con- j sideredas the workman's profit. Ii is claimed that the Pacific coast is drawing for its labor supply on the vast population of China, to ( such au extent that she will soon be enabled ! to rival the East, in every branch of industry unless cheaper labor can bo obtained. All of which is very well, but what is of more importune, these “men and brethren” will all have votes, that is if they construe the matter correctly, i. e , radically. Ethridge and Maynard. It appears that there is some truth iu the rumor that Mr. Ethridge had a difficulty with Horace Maynard at Greenville, East Tennessee. We learn from a gentleman who passed through Knoxville that both of the gentlemen named were on the train which stop ped at Greenville for supper. As they walked into the eating room, Mr. Ethridge slapped Maynard in the face for insulting language which the latter had used in the canvass. May nard did not resent the blow, and Mr. E. walked calmnly off, as if nothing unusual had occurred.— Nashville Banner. One ot the English Bishops presented the Pope wrth £SO<w¥m Editorial Brevities.

War in Tennessee- The Louisville Courier of the 27th ult- > referring to the late difficulties in Tennessee, says. “The outbreak at Rogersviße,T’etin mentioned in our dispatches yesterday, is one of the natural results of the Brownlow des potism, and it is rot the first tumult which has originated from Radical villainy in that State, neither will it be the last. The iudig nities of the people, insulted and trampled on as they are, will occasionally have vent, and when they can no longer restrain their dispo sition to retaliate upon their tyrants the wrongs inflicted upon them, blood will flow. In this case it appears that the Radicals in augurated the violence which testified in the serious affray which occurred. We do not doubt that Mr. Etheridge was hitter in his denunciations, lie is a Litter man. Lie does not measure his words or weigh his sen tences. 11c calls things by their right names and holds the Radicals up to their true re sponsibility. This is of course exceedingly offensive to the vile old miscreant who, as Governor of the State, disgraces the seat he occupies and misuses the power in his hands The attempt now going otf in Tennessee lo make the negroes and those who have so lit tle self respect as to associate and Jaffiliate with them, the ruling class, must, in the very nature of things, produce collisions and cause a shocking amount of bloodshed. The superior race will assert its superiority and i's lights, and trample under foot all who would subvert or reyese the natural order of things. The negro is no match for the white man, and no amount of flattery or cajolery will raise him to a point where he will he the equal of the white man in a struggle for su premacy. The white man will not tolerate permanent degradation, and when he makes the effort lo rise above the loathsome fetters which venal men have placed upon him, then lire doom of the negro will be sealed. 'Theo ries in regai and to the rights of the black man and his capabilities ns a citizen, the neeessi ty of his being invested with the ballot, and hrs equality before the law, will amount to nothing when the struggle comes. Fanatics and self-constituted philanthropists and de luded enthusiasts may mislead the negro and inflate him with insolence and self-conceit. hut the greater their success the sooner will his doom be sealed, There is not recorded upon the pages ■of history, from the beginning of time to the present day, an instance of a superior race submitting to ah inferior one for any consid erable length of time, ami there never will he. It is contrary to the decrees of God. and, in accordance with the great law of na ture which bids the weaker give place to the stronger, the negro must go down. The ef fort to elevate him over the heads of nis Bat umi superiors will only insure his swift de struction. brownlow may be re-elected lie proba bly will, be, and the result will be accomplish-' ed by negro yotis. This will of nurse make the black j opulatir n more conceited and mol t* insolent. They do not understand ihat they are the tuple tools of designing men and that they are rushing upon their lute In tlicir ignorance they are submitting themselves to the men who, without the slightest sympathy with them, or a thought f r their welfare, arc using them for the accomplishment o* their own selfish purposes. So long as the present policy is upheld in the Tennessee wc may look for the frequent occurence of such difficulties as that at Rug ersville, and if they do not become general fi will not be because of the forbearance of Brownlow or bis minions. Tennessee is the first of the Southern States reconstructed bv the Radical process and she stands to-day an advertisement of what mis governmeut and fanaticism can do to inspire universal scorn and contempt. The Shooting Affair iu the KutianU District. Yesterday morning the colored popu lation of our city was thrown into a state of considerable ferment by rumors of a shooling affair in this District, in which from two to thirty colored poisons were said to have been killed or wounded. About 10 o’clock, a delegation pi col ored men and some of the wounded ar rived in tho city, and the excitement ran still higher, and from vlie thousand-and uno stories retailed by excited men, it was impossible 'o glean anything reliable. After sifting the matter thoroughly as we could, we have come to the conclusion, tram the lights before us, that the ; on the colored people Was an uncalled wr and most unjustifiable affair, and one that meets with the severest reprobation, ’ oi nut only our entire community, bu£ ol j every responsible and right-thinking ! man iu the section in which it occured.
