In thia-Wterr wlncli breathed patriotism in every ltuei a I am informed, he propounded sundry inquiries to General Lee, among which were; whe ther wecan hope for auy peusaifuat peace snd prosperity ander the present Con n.l nla.i 4,i nwnnstruetion. which L!2hik!ilitsW the wmtrmofmt-d few whiles nearly all of the Houtliern States t Whether, if the whites wen all enfranchised and given the control of the South, tin y would ireai the negroes just ly and kindly t The wbofe object of the letter waa to procure such a statement of tbe reeling aad temper of the Southern people towards the Government, the no- groes, etc", as l lorcsnauoweu iu mj m- ter, which, though written on osiuruay last, was a full report of the proceedine: of the conference up to Uic hour tae pa- tieneral ttosencrans rrqucsicu Ie to confer with ether leading Southern 0 an orals aad civilians, and obtain their views in connection with Ins owu, OXSKBAI, tax's BXPLT.

Four of the above propositions, first in .order, we know to he liteislly true, the others are tn Judge Pearson a orn words, indeed, all are. He t obliged, there fore, to base his support of Graut and Col fax on the plea of averting apprehended social disturbance, and his positiou may ......... .1 I.:. .... - oe ruin ii in iuis wiac ; "I will take Grant and C-dfax, with the multitudinous sins of their party apon them, rather than civil war, which must fellow their defeat, and I advise others to . m v uo uie same. To this I i The predictions of civil war made by uilge Pearson, in the event of the defeat of Grant and Colfax, an based upon as sertions unfounded in fact, are the mere emanations of hi own brain, unsustained by souud argument, and do not deserve serious notice. We, the people of tho South, cannot support Uraot and Colfax for the reason that the success of tho.-e lie mi will fasten upon us, and apon our pwterity, a grind ing despotism which revolution alouo will be effectual to remove. The battle fur civil liberty must be fought in November at the polls by the ballot, and if Seymour and Blair should i lieu be defeated, our descendants, as well as ourselves will be slaves. To follow the question of ciril war still further, t havo proved from the eolcm- porary history of Great Britain that the assortious upon which Jndge Pearson rest Ins predictions are baseless. I will now sdd what judicial, or political hluidnea must bare prevented the Judge from see ing ; that, including women and minors, there are ns mwiy white people, at this day, iii the Southern States, disfranch i -ed by the operation of the reconstruction acts 5 Jhenerirra,.'!hj...asjd Stales, H)j these people. are seeking no other remedy than they are entitled to under the Con stitution of the United Stales, and they an a people, loo, whose birthright, and the birthright of whose ancestors was free dom, but in their behalf he is silent, his teaming xoice is heard only for the negro: Judge I'enrson not only ignores the event front (he salvage, U is a eriuio under tbe law or nature to murder one man as H is to murder one bandied. Why, then, does tne platform of the Italic I party embody a living lie, sanction a public crime, by admitting the right of the Northern States to disfranchise the negro 1 Does the law ef nature act apoa eae set of principles in Ohio and another ia North Carolina 1 What a palpable absurdity. groes to oppress a aad eat ap ear safe, atance, and which is seaklag to deprive as of the right to employ, or discharge, eur owa laborer.

We might etpect to meet with the proposition, "to deny suffrage to tbe negro is against Uie law of nature lu a Fourth ef July oration, bat it ia humil iating that it should be submitted by the Chief J nstice of North Carolina. Verily, he had better eonrine himself to tbe "com mon law ;" be is so frequently wanting in the judgment pref erly to apply them. But, in fact, this prediction of civil war, in the ereut stated, deserves, under ail tbe circumstance, the scorn aud loalhiug of every unprejudiced man. vt e have amoug u four millions of aa oforior nee, who, until recently, were slaves, and who, until Still more recently, never enjoyed any political rights. 1 he men who have battled for freedom were men who could look back to a history of their own, emhluzoned on every trage with great deeds and illustrious namos ; but the negroea can look back only to an ancest ry of slaves. Tbey never sought freedom for themselves. At this, day they cannot utelligenlly exercise tbe frauChise, aud do not know the meaning of political rights. Jndge Pearson insists that these people hsve such a heritage of freedom, that il disfranchised under tbe forms ef- the Constitution, tbey will resort to tho word This is a self-evident error. The negro is naturally docile, and will remain contented, even though be should be dis franchised, but hi diafrancliisemeut is not n Issue joined in tins political coutest. The unprincipled demagogues who live by agitation, who desire a pretext to co erce, tor their owu emolument, the south ern people into tbe support of a political party, may inrraten 10 incite tne rjcgroc. to violence, and may succeed in so doing, !nt it will be tbe violence of the mob seeking for plunder, snd committing oat rage, before which friend and foe will fail alike, and not the arm of the freeman seeking political rights. Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind, and should the Radical agistors see their des perate outgivings realixed, they may be the first to fall victims to tbe fury of tbe passions tbey evoke. No matter iu what light these predic tions of civil wsr may be viewed, they must be tegarded as wretched and trans parent pretexts, gotten up tor tbe purpose of aiding the Radical party by operating on that large class of people who take counsel of their fears. But, says Judge Pesrson: "If tbe re construction acts are void, so are the ro om ruction ac'.s of President Johnson, and the negroes are still slaves." In Hughes ex parte, which the Chief Justice is so fond of rolling, as a sweet morsel, under bis tongue, it it decided that the reconstruction acts of President John son are valid, and that the Convention of 1665 "waa a rightful Convention of tbe people." This Convention, then, right fully, called, abolished slavery in North Carolina. Moreover, that Convention made proviaion for the election of State officers amV members of Congress, who were elected, the State officers inauguras ted, and President Johnson, by his procla nation, declared North Carolina to ho a State in the Union. All this Judge Pear son declares in Huge ex parte, wan leyal was' valid, was riahtfullu done. The reconstruction laws of Congress proceed upon the assumption that all bus was d legal, was invalid, and was- wrongfully done. Judge Pearson has sword to obey the laws of North Carolina; so long as Hughes ex parte remains unreversed, it fs lbo law of North Carolina, and he b is .-Won, to obey it, but-he cannot obey Hughes ex parte uud the reconstruction acts at the some time which horn of the dilemma will he take ! The proposition then is, logically speak ing, false, fo tar Horn tne .reconstruction acti. of the President and. of Congress standing or fulling together, they are dia metrically opposed. 1 hey cannot co-ex ist, and the validity of the one can be sustained only by declaring the illegality of the other. The reconstruction acts of Congress were based upon tliu express princini eat, and almost tae very air that we breathe. If we drain advlee, we will seek it from those public men among as who have been true in every emergency, and wbo have never betrayal their political principles for tbo sake of public position. Cms.
