We bars fallen uponeitraordinarj times Wc bare just passed through the most ter rific civil war which history records. This wsr has worked a mighty revolution. It has consolidated the Government. It has destroyed the great institution apou which wss based the social and economic systems of the South. Four millions of human be ings, who hare heretofore been held in bon dage, hare suddenly been emancipated. They have, without any effort on their pat t, passed from a state of slavery to a state of freedom-have become freemen. They have ry records oo such instance of Idelity and devotion under similar circa ttsnces.

Thoughtful men are beginning to see tbe impossibility of keep ing among as and govorning a population of four millions of human beings without making them oar friends without ma king them the friends of the government, which cannot be done without giving an interest in the control of it. Thia can only be done safety by investing such of them as may be capable of exercising it in telligently Kith the right of suffrage.

They have been afforded erory fa cility for obtaining justice in oar ennrts that the white man can command. Tbey have been admitted to testify in all cases where they may be interested, even against white men. At this no one now complains-all aro willing that they should enjoy these rights. But great os the rcvolation has already been it has not yet culminated. Mighty events are still on the wing. Still greater privileges are demanded for the frcedmen. The present Congress teems to be deter mined to confer upon them the right of suffrage without limitation nr qualification. To accomplish this, it proposes even to remand the Southern States to a territo rial condition. The party which favors the measure has it in its power, not on ly to control the orescnt, but also tho BP BT" . next Congress. With all the elements around us in motion shall we remain quiet t Shall we repose iu listlessness, iu idleness and in snpineness while these things are in progress 7 Can the South ern statesmen justify such a course to posterity? Should he not identify him self with the re volution in order to control' it to check its course before, in its wild career, transcends the bounds of reason and of public safety. Prudence, it seems to us, can give bat one answer yes.' We need not argue the incapacity of the frcedmen in their present condition the result of their late servitude to eer- cise intelligently the right of suffrage, as fread and write and who saataia a good moral character. This can be done with the utmost safety to tbe State. Nothing is hazarded in granting it, and every wise and thoughtful statesman must see that ranch must be gained by it. Incorporate such a provision in our organic law, aad you bold op before the freed man the high est possible indaeement to become an in telligent, industrious aad virtuous man. You place political equality within bis roach as the reward of merit, and stiinu late him to hope something for his poster ity. And Barely it must be to tbe inter eat of both races that be should become an upright and virtuous man,- that ha should train up his offspring with a view to their respectability and usefulness. Confer this privilege upon them, and you attach them to the government so that it can rely upon their fidelity in the event of war with foreign powers. Refuse it to them and how far they could be relied up on in such an emergency is a matter for speculation. Their fidelity as slaves af fords no evidence of their fidelity as freed men. As slaves they did not feel that they possessed any rights. They hare been taught that as freemen they do, and we cannot expect them to bo blind to such teachings it is contrary to human na ture that they should be No man of ordinary intelligence can fail to perceive, that in their present ig norant condition, suffrage without qualifi cation will prove not only a cane to them, but ruinous to the country. Those, there fore who are appealing to them to memo rialize Congress in favor of Mr. Steven's bill, are not their friends eare nothing whatever for their welfare, but only Wish to ase them as tools for the accomplish ment of their own aelnsn ends to enable Southern lsB9, be wiwte bis Judge Sbarkay, argiaff tbe Mississippi Conveottoa to groat tbesa Impartial suf frage. Subsequent treats bare deouwa Btrated tba wtodesa of swek a coarse, aad it is much to be feared that tbe Southern people will ye4 bave reason to regret that they did not follow bat advice. In presenting tbese r1wa, we bare not been influenced solely by the emergency of tbe times, aa the reader meet bare par eeired. We bave not been governed sole ly by considerations of policy. Wa are prepared to defend our proposition upon principle. We hare for some time enter tained these views, as is well known to onr friends. We were among tbe first in the State to advocate tbe right of tbe frcedmen to testify in the courts, and however obnoxious tbe proposition was when first made, use baa reconciled every one to it. And so it will be with this measure if it should ever be adopted, as it ceHainly trill. It embodies all tbe addi tional privileges which we can safely grant to the freedmen, and all that tbey have any right to demand. It Is just within itself and, therefore cannot be long resisted it is a foregone conclusion. Wa would warn our statesmen and politicians that they cannot 'kick against the prick s' they will bare to yield to this innovation sooner or later, and why not make a vir tue of necessity, and concede it graceful ly. The statesman who attempts to stand still at a time like the present, will be un able to render any serriee to tbe State will be swept away by the current of errata. We will scarcely be credited when we aay that we bare been prompted to write this article by considerations of patriotism, and only upon tbe most mature reflection . We have not been deterred from fear of its unpopularity. We expect to be cen sured, and are prepared to defend ourself. We know the price of oar conduct, wa hare done oar duty, aad we are content. 8TATB DESOCRATIO CONVEN TION.

It is hoped that every county in the State will be fully represented by delegates or by py Tbe National Democratic.

We could not get rid of them if we would, and should not if we could except upon terms mutually benefi cial to 'both races We owe tbem mueh are under lasting obligations to them. They are not, in the slightest de gree, re sponsible for the war which gave them their freedom, and deprived us of them as property. They adhered to their mas ters with tbe utmost fidelity during the entire contest though they well knew that it was being waged for their liberation Tbey supported the families of their own- and afforded them protection in thous ands of instances, while they were absent B arm if of tbe Confederacy Histo- it for tbe gratification of their own revenge ful feelings. Aa evidence of this fact, tbe freedmen would do well to remember that the leader of the movement, Oor. Bolden, drove a worthy gentlemen from tbe State before the war, for the mere expression of bis anti-slavery sentiments, by means of tbe influence which, as the editor of a leading ptper, be waa enabled to exert orer public opinion, and that several of his coadjutors were negro traders, as we are informed. Let us confer the right of suffrage, pro perly guarded that is, with proper quali fications, upon the African race ia oar midst, or offer to do so, and it will go fur ther to effect a change of opinion in oar favor at the North, which the represents tires of the Northern people in Congress could not resist than any thug else we eeuld do.
