to negro dominationl by a false pro
vili of relief, and the negroes to

But the half is not yet told. I
lhis false promise of relief in the K I
aegro constitution is not only it-'i
;elf a cheat, but it is to defeat all I
egitimate relief, and prevent our 1
yeople from doing what they i
)therwise would do to improve It
1heir condition. Let us enumer
te some of the evils that must re- I
oult from this agitation: t
1st. A large majority of credit,- I
>rs are now willing to act liberally I
vith their debtors, and take a rea- V
onable portion of their debts. r
3ut debtors, by this relief agita- I
ion, are encouraged to pay noth- a
ng. Creditors will be compelled
o hold on to their debts until the I
aws can be enforced, and all the c
ime interests is accumulating. i
he time will eome when courts
rill be open and law will - be ad- e
iinistered. These creditors, out- e
aged by the efforts of the debtors o
o get rid of all the debt will exact p
he last dollar and listen to no r
ompromise. 0
2d. Very unfortunate bitterness
f feeling will spring up among
ur people. Efforts which ought -
o be given to production and im- n
rovement of propdrty, will be n
iven to conceal, hide and cover a
p property. There are unscrupu- ii
)us lawyers now engaged in en- n
ouraging this business. I know a
f lawyers who are now promised ti
Wge amounts to defeat the collec- 1
on of debts. I know some fool- t4
h debtors who are paying law- h
ers amounts to defeat debts, y
,hieh the creditors would accept E
d give up the debts. s
Why, you will say such men are r
razy! So in one sense, theyare. n
tey are crazy wits a passion N
iainst creditors. They prefer to E
ay the money to lawyers who t(
atter them to creditors who v
rusted them. So, many men are n
uan crazy. Every man who votes g
)accept negro dominion to get ri
Jse relief is erazy I Every man si
,bo so votes is selling his chil-; b
ren's -hopes and his wife's happi- ai
ess for a cheat-worse than a 1
seat. a
3d.'While all this is being done ti
-e shall have negroes and Yan- h
ees in the Legislature establish- f<
ug free-schools for negroes, to be p
xpported by taxation upon the o
~hites, and taught by New Eng- r
mid teachers to increase the ha- r
id between the races; and, while e
ur industry will be paralized and o
or products almost destroyed, s1
ur taxes will be fully doubled. h
'roperty will also be depreciated e<
till more and more, and our peo- bn
Ie will lose more in increased tax- t<
tion and by the loss of property n
alues, than would be sufficient to n
ay their debts three times over.p
4th. In the meantime.the Bank- h~
u.pt act will have expired, and e
Eousands will have failed to avail i
Eemelves of it. 1:
5th. Every man who vo'es for c
his negro constitution to avoid
aying his debts, will never be v
ble to get credit again. Many r
ive by credit; but, having shown fi
hemselves willing to defraud, no r
sne man will ever after trust v
hem. The rich man can live b
rithout credit, or get it on his a
iroperty. The poor man is depen- t
tent on his character, anid when v
hat is gonme he is ruined. t
?th. Those who are agitating t
his question of relief are not the .
ippressed men, or the -poor men,c
>r the men of industry, or men of g
,ny class who deserve relief and j
eally merit protection. They y
re: 1. The wealthy men in debt j
rho desire to hold their property I l
ud evade their debts also. 2. R
"hey are unprincipled, ambitious l
emagogues, who are seeking to lt
ake advantage of the people's|d
nisfortunes, to inflame their pas
,ions and create false hopes, td en- 1 l
ble them and the thieves who al- t
w'ays follow them to obtain the I
>ffices of the country and get pos
lession of the resoui-ces of the peo- 1'
>le. 3. They are the men who|t
mave draden.d nph ane a ndl I1
widows and wards, and have made
ortunes using trust property, and
iow wish to live in luxury and
;urn off these orphans and widows
ith nothing. A special provis
on is put in this constitution for
his very class.
Was ever such a constitution
ieard of before in a civilized coun
r.y? Who now can doubt it was
nade by negroes, felons, carpet
)aggers and renegades to deceive
mid destroy all honest, decent and
espectable people, and to provide
dunder for rogues, robbers, thieves
;nd New England vagabonds?
Pardon me my dear sir, if I
iave made my brief letter a long
ne. I could increase the damn
ng features and effects of this ne
7To constitution until not a book
ould oontain the true record. I
annot close without again sum
!ing up the loss and gain pro
osed to our people if they will
atify this constitution, because
f this promise of relief.
Here is the bargain in few words:
If we establish the constitution
re get negro voters; negro jurors;
egro legislators; negro judges;
egro magistrates; negro mayors
nd municipal officers; negro sher
Is, clerks, ordinaries, constables,
egro militia and militia officers,
nd negroes in every other posi
on which renegade and New Eng
Lud whites will :not appropriate
themselves. A4so we shall
ave New England Governors;
lew England Congressmen, New
ngland judges; New England
iperiutendents of our great rail
)ads, of the Asylums for our lu
MfiC.. deaf- dLdu-mjaya a d ii4
ew England tax collectors;,New
ngland treasurers; New England
achers, and New England ad
enturers in every other position
ot occupied by a negro- or not
iven to some miserable Southern
enegade who has agreed, in con
deration of getting the office, to
e dirtier than a corn-field negro,
nd meaner than a New England
Mdical, and to go further and lie
iore unblushingly than both, in
je work of degrading and robbing
is own people. As the direct ef
ict of this rule, we shall have our
roperty depreciated ; nearly half
f our State rendered unfit for the
esidence of white people ; our or
hans ro bbed ; our widows impov
rished; our society demoralized ;
ur credit at home and abroad de
troyed ; our taxes doubled ; our
iws ineap)able of protecting per
an or property. Strangers will
e our rulers ; thieves our legisla
ars, perjured and bribed crimi
als our judges. We shall have
o peace save in the presence of a
erpetual military power, and no
ope of reco.very from our' fallen
ondition except through a despot
m accompanied with the exterm
iation, banishment, or re-enslave
2ent of the African race.
And -what is the consideration
re get for all this degradation and
uin ? This-only this: a promise
rom rogues that we shall not be
equired to pay our debts ; and
ihich promise we know before
and these rogues are neither
ble nor willing to keep, which
hey do not intend to keep, and
ihich they merely make to en
rap us ! Georgians, read this pic
ure ! Turn sack and read it
gain! Think of your wives and
ildren; our buried dead ; our
lorious past, and our once bright
uture, and read again ! Then
rou will be able to .understand this
vild, mad, brigand promise of "Re
ief!'' relief from honest debts by
utting your wives, your children,
-our property, and your all into
he protection of rogues and un
er the domination of the negro!
rn thie first place. revolutionary
eaders in other times and coun
ries have been supported by the
iople of their own race, colour
>r blood. But the revolutionary
eaders of this country are using
he ignorant, semi-barbarous atid
ng enslaed negro tn destroyv
the liberty and government of the A
white race. Without these ne
groes what support would the
Radicals in Georgia have? They t(
have literally no decent native iE
white supporters. The report 0
that over thirty thousand whites
voted for convention is the dirty E
lie of a Radical. It is well known ci
that those whites who voted for tE
delegates in some counties, but c<
who refused to vote for or against
convention because they wished el
to be counted on that question f
with those who did not vote, were t<
falsely counted for convention !
There are not, this day, one hun
dred white Georgians in favour of cc
negro suffrage or the reconstiuc
tion measures of the Radical Con
gress. P(
In the next place these revolu- er
tionary leaders, of this country, s
do not permit even the negroes to.
act upon their natural instincts, P.
or to vote according to their vol- it
untary preferences. al
Miserable agents flood our State, S(
m
whose only business is to organize
machinery to get control of the it
ra
negro, and compel him by force, r
fraud and deception to vote the
Radical ticket. We all saw this P
work in the election for conven- it
tion and now dirty agents are go- Pl
ing over the State employing
black and white hired stbordi- P
nates to manage the polls and t
"scour the country," and compel, ev
%nd deceive and frighten unwil- gc
[ig negroes to help in this work of S
su
political, social and moral destruc- s
bion. hi
In the third place, thousands of of
ntelliaent educated white ien th
tre disnsed and not allowed ey
to vote on the constitution under by
which they are to be forced by th
negroes and strangerl to live ! hi
Ignorance, vice and pauperism of rh
very grade and character are to r
be fo; ced, frightened and entrapped m
bo the polls, and intelligence, vir
bue and property are forced away! th
The blackest annals of revolu- t
on
ionary hate and crime in coun- e
ries civilized or savage would be v
searched in vain for a parallel.
White men ! vou who are still
soncious that Go>d madeyou white, in
will one of you join in such a work, t
and only in order to get a chance
-a hopeless ~ehance-to cheat tr
your neighbor? ?i
Yours, very truly, s

A PLAIN-SPOKEN ENGLISHMAN.
-Mr. Goldwin Smith,in delivering P
a lecture at Brighton , (England,)t
spoke out with more directness on
the subject of hereditary mon
a~rchy than we remember any pub- t
lie man in England of mark to i
have done in our day. He said
very plainly that the root of mon
archy is dead, and that the tie be- t
tween Queen Victoria and the th
English people is purely of per.
sonal affection. Were this true PC
the prospectsof the Prince of Wales te
would not be of the best; but the "

land is supported in other ways. i
A large proportion of the middle tu

hocus-pocus such as a sovereign
without power is the best arrange- t
ment for the security and comfort u
of society ; and to the multitude al
the notion of a republic is distaste

hereditary monar-chy of England
is decidedly the safest in Europe;
but those conditions may be want

with very slight delay. Mr. Gold- oe

ch a spectacle, and its whole
tory, and especially the history
your race, gives no ground for
e anticipation. Perhaps, how
cr, you expect to attain power
the aid of the radical party at
e North. The Almighty, in
i wisdom, (perhaps to prevent
e amalgamation of the separate
ces which he created and
irked,) has implanted in every
man breast, a sentiment called
e prejudice of race; and when
is feeling is once aroused, it is
e of the strongest and most uni

re. Do you not see it even in
>ur white radical friends, in
ite of their industrious efforts
conceal it so lone as they have

so, in the officers, and even the
ry private soldiers, of the army

gue which the Almighty has
ganized is one to wh'ch there
ill be no traitors, when one an
;ue is fairly made.
To repeat, then, as we began ;
>Urn present pdv er must surely
d soon pass from you. Nothing
at it builds will stand, and no
ing will romnin of it but the
prejudices it may create. It is there- I
fore, a most dangerous tool that I
you are handling. Your leaders, c
both white and black, are using z
your votes for nothing but their v
individual gain. Many of them, g
you have only known, heretofore, s
to despise and mistrust, until com- a
mantled by your leagues to vote a
for them. Offices and salaries for v'
themselves are the heights of t
their ambitions ; and so that they f
make hay while the sun shines, d
they care not who is caught in a
the storm that follows. Already, i
they have driven away all capital ii
and credit from the South ; and I h
while they draw eleven dollars a s
day, thousands among you are n
thrown out of employment, and o
starve simply for lack of work. I b
What few enterprises are carried p
on are only the work of Southern n
men, who have faith that the a
present state of affairs is but tem- v
porary. The world does not offer a
better opportunities for the em- li
ployment of capital than are to be h
found in the South, but will your fl
radical friends send their money r
here to invest ? Not one dollar. I
They would just as soon venture k
on investments in Hayti or Libe- o
ria, as commit their money to the a
influence of your legislation. Cap- r
ital has learned to shun it as a a
deadly plague. t
We, therefore, urge and warn tJ
you, by all the ties of our former t
relations, still strong and binding t
in thousands of cases, by a com- t
mon christianity and by the iu- f
tual welfare of our twb races, h
whom Providince has thrown to- v
getlr, to ei.'o -cou on i
wiic your leadei-e are urging y
you, in a blind folly whiih will d
surely ruin both you and them. t
We do not pretend to be better m
friends to your race than we are a
to ourselves, and we only speak v
where we are not fiVited because si
your welfare concerns ours. If t]
you destroy yourselves you injdre a,
us, and though but little, com- r
pared with the harm you will do p
yourselves, we would if we could e
avert the whole danger. s
We are not in any condition to I
make you any promises or to pro- o
pose to you any compromises. We ti
can do nothing but await the d
course of events-but this we do a
without the slightest misgiving ti
for ourselves. We shall not give d
up ou'r country, and time will e:
soon restore our control of it. But ft
we earnestly caution you, and o:
beg you in the meanwhile, to be- h
ware of the use you make of your t<
temporary power. Remember that ti
your race has nothing to gain and ti
everything to lose, if you invoke n
that prejudice of race which, since p
the world was ,made,thas ever
driven the weaker tribe to the
wall. Forsake, then, the wicked
and stupid men who would in
volve you in this folly, and make
to y -rselves friends and not ene
mies of the white citizens of South
Carolina.
Cause of Lamp E?plosions. ri
The Boston Journal of Chemis
try, in an article on the chemistry "
of kerosene speaks as f*ollows. As&
an explaiation of the causes of i
lamp explosions, it is worth study
ing, that these accidents miay be
avoided :3
As has been stated, keroseno isa
not explosive. A lighted taper
may be thrust into it, or flame ap
plied in any way, and it does not
explode. On the .e.odtiary it ex-r
tinguishes flame, if experimented ti
with at the usual temperatures of i
our rooms. Kerosene accident 'k
occurs from two causes:. First, ti
imperfect manufacture of the 0'
article jsecond, adulterations. G
An imp'erfectly manufactured oil e
is that which results when the b
distillation has been carried*on at h
a too low temperature, and a pore
tion of the naptha remains in it. r
Adulterations are largely made
by unprincipled dealers, who add
20 to 80 per cent of naptha after p
it leaves the manufacturer's 54
ands. The little napthas which
ave been spoken of, as known in'
ommerce under the names of ben
ine, benzoline, gasoline. etc., are
ery volatile, inflamable, and dan
erous. They, however, in 'them.
elves'are not explosive ; neither
re they capable of furnishing
ny gas, when placed in lamps,
rhich is explosive. Accidents of
his natue are due entirely to the
icility, with which vapor is pro
uced from them at low temper.
tures. But, the vapor by itself
not explosive ; to render it so,
must be mixed with air. A
trp may be filled with bad kero
mne, or with vapor even, and in
o possible way can it detonate,
r explode, unless atmospheric air
as somehow got mixed with va
or. A lamp, therefore, full, or
early full, of the liquid, is safe ;
ad also one full of pure warm
apor is safe. Explosions gener
Ily occur when the lamp is first
ghted, without being filled, and
ite in the evening, when -the
uid is nearly exhausted. The
ason of this will readily be seen.
ft using imperfect or adulterated
erosene, the space above the line
f oil is alWays filled with vapor;

nguished; the lamp cools, a por

,hen the oil is nearly consumed,

apor, the lamp cannot explode
long as it remains at rest upon
ie table. But take it in hand,
Ditate it, carry it into .a cool
)om, the vapor is cooled, air
asses in, and the vapor becomes
Kplosive. A case-of lanp explO
on came to the writer's know
dge a few years since,which was
acasioned by taking a lamp from

aor bell. The cool outside air
'hich impigned upon the lamp in
