C, Oct 12. I5YALID OBJECTIONS TO AMENDMENTS. THE We note the letter in the Char lotte Observer of the 11th from Spencer Blackburn and we are led to contemplate the confusion of tongues at the tower of Babel. It is not our purpose to contro vert the matter with him but we simply refer to some of his falla cies and absurdities. There are - others that may be.playing on the ume string. He says he is unalterably op posed to the constitutional amendments and gives some of the reasons. He savs he is not afraid of negro domination in the State as there are two white men to one negro. But every man of frank ness must admit that, in certain parrs of the State, just prior to the last tiection the negro was dominant and very oppressive and irritating. The elimination of the ignorant negro vote will largely i emedy this. He , 'says he has strong faith in the superi ority of his race and has no fear of the domination of an inferior race of less than half our num bers. It is an indisputable fact .that small elements often hold the balance of power and if not of the better element are a hin drance to the better element. "When his party played upon the passions and prejudices of the negro, as he insinuates against those favoring the amendments, there was no reason sure enough but only prejudice and ambition of the lowest kind that made J North Carolina a centre of amazement among her "sister States. The amendments seek to make this condition less liable to such sway of passionV- He speaks of those who would many meritorious members cf his own race will be disfran chised underr the, amendments and says, anyhow the State should not disfranchise ignorant citizens without first giving them the means and opportunity of an elementary education, -though he knows the United States gov ernment did thrust upon us the enfranchisement of ignorant citizens, without the means and the opportunity of an element ary education, to the everlasting detriment of the South.

It is too bad that there are citizens now that can't read and write and if this fair notice of a wise provision for the good and the safety of the State does not stimulate ,i citizens to intelligence, they fur nish in themselves the best of reasons why they should not be allowed to vote. Again Mr. Blackburn says; "I hope there is still enough patriotism burning . upon our country's alter to call back the days of Bunker Hill and Kings unfortunate class of worthv citizens that cannot read and L write?" It's the worthy sons of those chivalric ancestors that will vote for the amendments to avert another experience like we have had in the state for a few years to the humilation of the dos- perity of these heroes. There will be no class of worthy citi zens disfranchised except some good old slave negroes and they almost as one man admit that their white neighbors can do better for them , politically than of the Fifteenth Ainendtneirk The adoption of the amendments is not especially in the interests of any party but for the peace, safety and welfare of the state. It would certainly relieve others than the Democratic party of much embarrassment if the whole negro vote were cut off . ; The Morning Post says of the State fair next weekr "New attractions are being daily added.
