A new Scheme to the It in painful to reflect how soon tho landmarks of great principles are lost amid the throes of For forty years the people of the South have been fiercely battling against the mad schemes of tho abolitionists to destroy the institution of We have uniformly contended that negroes were and that slavery was a local institution with which no power under the sun could save the sovereign States in their individual For this great ple of the right of the States to regulate their institutions to suit we went to war with the and for nearly four years have maintained the dreadful conflict with unexampled Just at moment when all the gigantic schemes of the enemy to subjugate us have when Grant is panting for breath to renew a con- test in which he has besn completely and Sherman is toiling to escape from the coils of which threaten the destruction of his the auspicious moment when the bright and ous day of independence is about to break upon us with the splendor of an unclouded at such a moment it is gravely proposed by respectable though chimerical journals in the South to ignore all of our past cardinal surrender the great question for which we went to and do for ourselves precisely what Lincoln and the proposed to do for us without ish slavery I. This is the naked proposition of those who advo eate the conscription of our slaves as They propose to conscript the able bodied negroes of the between the ages of 18 and 45, arm and equip them and put them in the as along with our white As an inducement to make these negroes faithful to our they are to be given their and mitted to live amongst us after the war as The result of such a if not be mistaken by a blind man or an idiot It will convert the sovereign States of the Confeder into free negro with all the social and political evils which attend the amalgamation of ad- verse If our negro men are made then justice and policy would require that their wives and children should be permitted enjoy freedom along with their husbands and on the principles announced by tbe Richmond that they who fight for deserve to be Whether this be just or it is very certain that our slaves once made and trained in the skill of and the hardships of the camp and the dangers of the battle would not only insist on their own but on the freedom of their entire They would and have the right to insist at the point of the upon enjoying all the cial and political rights enjoyed by their former on the ground that they had suffered ly the dangers and responsibilities of the The horrible result would be either the tion of the black and the white races in the with all its attendant shame and or a dreadful civil war of extermination between the white men and the black 1 Can such consequences be plated by the Southern mind without a shudder for the And yet this is the certain end to which it is now proposed to educate our for we hold it to be impossible that wo can escape these consequences with a half a million of negroes trained to the use of arms and suddenly to the rights and notions of Look at the question in another point of If our slaves are made then they will to be governed by the same military laws which govern the white because we have only one military They be ipso facto the equal of their entitled to the same rights and subject only to the same The insolence of our former slaves would have to be if they would have the right and the force to chastise back destroying the first principle of negro which is the lifts of the institution of the But supposing the question to be fraught with none of these terrible social and political it is perfectly clear to our mind that armed negroes would be a source of perpetual danger and ness to the South in this instead of When we shall have armed them what security have we that they will not desert us and join the enemy in a body Reasoning from all tural principles and from they would certainly do so.
