JJcruU. ; Oar readers will hare noticed that in moat of the ftpeeuhes of Droiulneot Southern lead1 era, reoentlv delivered, the oolorecl voter has formed A theme of. more than mere panning Interest. To-daj we ald to the uuinbttr. ex tract from a fpeKih delivered ty a aiBtin culshed reoreBHUtatUe of "YoaDtr, South," General Jauies b. Gordon, of Georgia, and from a letter on the subject written upon the more mature judgment of Mr. James li. Campbell, of South Carolina. These appeald and warn ings cannet be without theii elleot upon the colored population of the South, and that they are destined to produce a revolution in the minds of the colored voters in favor of their former masters reems to be as clear as the fact that the inlluence of the Northern adventurers Over the freedineu is fast waning. There is nothing at all extraordinary in this. The untutored negroes have discovered that the promises of their newly found Northern friends are shams and delusions, and their natural instinct leads them to distrust all who have once deceived them. In no instance have the pledges of their radical allies been carried out At the outeet they promised them forty acres of land and a pair of mules if they would rote the radical tieket. 1 hey obeyed instructions, but have never Been either land or mules. They were assured that they should possess the confiscated houses and lands of the Rebel leaders. , This the radicals failed to carry out irom iear oi me indignation the atrocity of the aot would create throughout the North. They were told that they should hold seats in Con gress, in the State Legislatures, and in the City Councils, and in all respects enjoy every civil right and prerogative possessed by the white man. in ail these promises they have been deceived and cheated. They have neither lands nor mules; thty possess no confiscated plantations; they hold no seats in Congress, and only a few days ago a batch of their co lored brethren were expelled from a Southern Legislature by the vote of nearly every white radioal in it. The sensible portion of the Southern colored population begin to realize that those Northern adventurers who have located among them have no lands to give; while on the other hand they see that their late masters have and that those masters are disposed to treat them with kindness and with a proper consideration of their newly enfran chised oondition. Ueuce it is no wonder that the Southern colored voter is in a political po sition which, with very li. tie adroitness, oan be turned to the advantage of their old mas ters, leaving the treacherous carpet-baggers to their fate. Now, then, comes the opportunity of the Southern leaders. With tke assistance of the Totes of the colored population they can secure asoendancy in nearly every one of the South era States, and that aooomplished down goes radical reconstruction of its own volition, and tip goes the era of Southern restoration. Therefore is it that leaders like Wade Hamp ton, Forrest, Toombs, Henry A. Wise, A. H. Stephens, General Gordon, Judge Campbell, and hundreds of others distinguished for their political influence in the South, are palaver ing with the negro voter, joining with him iu barbeoues, sitting on the same platform with him, and showing him as clearly as noonday On whioh side his bread is buttered. The Southern political leaders are most acute and audaoious fellows. They are the greatest politicians that ever existed. Even their generals, headed by Robert li. Lee and Beauregard, seem to be as skillful and prudent in the politicians' closet as they were brave and cool on the field of battle. This was seen in Rosecrans interview with them at White Sulphur Springs. Tike them all together, whether we regard them while conducting the Government for more than half a century, or observe them in the work of breaking up the Union, or in carrying on a rebellion upon a most gigantic scale, iu building great war ships in foreign ports, in bringing foreign capitalists to their aid, in obliging foreign courts to give them a quasi recognition, in humbugging old European diplomats, or whether we look at them after the war is over proclaiming themselves the truest, purest, most uncontaminated cf Union men, lauding the Constitution as it they had never raised a finger to disturb it, and professing to be better lovers of republican institutions and better friends of Lumau freedom than those who fought to defend the one aud prooure the Other, we see them the same bold, impulsive, plucky, vehement, presumptuous, and auda cious political leaders. In sagacity and cunning they oufc-Machiavelli Machiavelli. They play the gsuie of the astute and subtle old Italian statesman better than he could himself, and in a way, indeed, to charm the very bones of that ancient political philosopher out of their tomb. The bitter feuds in Italy exoited by Machiavelli, the arraying of one Bide against another, the sharp corners he turned in his diplomacy, his intrigues, combi nations and machinations, afford no parallel to the keenness, energy, and intensity of the Southern political philosophers of our day. They do things ou a grander scale. They can keep up continual feuds among their oppo nents; they can attempt to break down a gov ernment one day which they swear the next they are the only saviours of; they can arraign for almost ctimes the leader of the armies that conquered them; they can cajole or coerce a great political party into nominating a candi date 01 their own selection tor' the Presidency; they oan win to their bidi the support of three million human beings whom they have held In bondage for centuries; in shprt, they can perform deeds which, compared with those of the old Roman or Italian politicians, is like contrasting the tremendous volcauio eruptions and earthquakes of the American Continent to the popgun explosions of the volcanoes of Europe. . These are the political leaders who in 1872, no matter what they may accomplish in the meantime, will restore the entente cordiale of the great Democratic party, smash up the Kepublioan party, elect Frank Blair or Pen dleton to the Presidency and pave the way for a century's permanent ascendancy iu the Government of the United States. The Preliminary Elections. from the Huston J'ost. Larger results have never depended on the fall State elections than will make themselves risible this year. The three important, and, we may say, the decisive elections to ooour in October are those in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, and they all take place on the same day, the 13th. Coming so very near to the general election in November.i,ttt . tliree weeks their immediate inlluenu , on at event will tell visibly. Should theyv,Tery closely contested, we shall witness an. in. creased intensity of effort ou , both sides in every State to secure the final triumph; but in cane the Democrats aud conservatives sweep these three great States clean of the vestiges of radicalism, tho November conclusion, iu a fair and open tii J, will be a foregone one The radioal party may then consider themselves fairly embarked on an ebb tide, to be drifted out to a sea that has no shore. Iowa, Nebiaska, and West Virginia are likewise to hold their elections, the former on the same day with the three States named, and the other two later. In all of these there have been marked Demooratio gains, so much so as to warrant a hope of securing the electoral votes of West Virginia and Nebraska. As for the important States mentioned, whoe votes will praotically deoide the general inane, Penn sylvania showed a Demooratio gain last year of over twenty thousand votes, and a dear majority of the same size this year is among the probabilities. The Democraoy are work ing vigorously, and concentrating their forc3 for a repulse arid rout of the faction which has played false to all its professions" aul to the general trust. Ohio made a Democratic gain in its last election of fifty-seven thousnut, choosing a Demooratio Lgilature and sendiug a staunch Union man to the Si-ante iu place of revolutionary Hen. Wade. Indiana giine 1 to the Democrats six thousand in her last elec tion, and promises by every popular tokti to roll up immense gains for Mr. Hendricks, who is conducting so energetic a campaign. The latest advices from that State are very positive in favor of a complete Dmocra'ii) vic tory on the 13th of October. The contest thus hinges ou the three S'.ats mentioned, two of which have already given Democratic majorities, aud the third very large Democratic gains. It is the tru policy of the Democrats to concentrate their exer tions in this field. There is where the thick of the fight is to come. AbW speeches than those already addressed to the people on the issues of the hour, by Messrs. Hendricks and Fendleton, no political campaign presents. What it mostly concerns the people to discms, that they hear thoroughly discussed. It is only the living interests of the country the salvation of free government, the restoration of fraternal feeling, the revival of industry and prosperity, the lightening of debt aud taxes, and the perpetual right of the peop'e to Belf-governmeut it is thui-H living interests alone that are presented The solemnity of this judgment hour of our institutions would ba mocked by appeals for a continuance of mere party supreuicy. The discussions before the people iuvolve the common safety and happiness No worn-out party phrases oount for anything now. The Democratic speakers ad.ines themselves to the great questions of the hour; aDd they force home on the popular mind the convic tion that a democratic goverunrent on this continent is not possible undnr a lenger lease of radical power. The contest is going on biitween directly opposite conceptions of govfmtneut. If the Democracy prevail, the perpetuity of our re publican system is secured. If they faii, the Struggle afterwards will be Biniply to see how much may be saved from the- geueral wreck. They have every possible stimulus for exer tions such as patriots are rarelv summoned to make. Shall tho MajorllT Kulel From the IT. Y. World. We indorse so much of the following narA- graph from a long article in the Times, as sets forth the potency of public opinion: "For, In uplte of tho iMnnvrr unit confusion that always accompauy m (ioUUrhI oauvaa. the Will Of the people. WUeU once decln.i-f.il. h) wavh cballeiiees and coimnauil respect.

What the limes refers to as an exceotiou rather exemplifies the rule. The submission of the South to the will of the ueoole aa declared in the Presidential election of 18U0, was, in one aspect, too absolute and complete. When U e result of the election beoatue kuowu, the South did not object to Abraham Lhwolu being President of the United States. They fully acquiesced in that; but determined that their section should be no longer a part of the country of which he was the duly elected tmei Magistrate. They also fully accepted, as a result of the election, the exclusion of slavery from all the Territories of the United States. They meant to seize and hold as large a portion of those Territories as they were able; but they had no thought of disturbing the decision of the people that in such Territories as continued to be held, or should afterwards be acquired, by the United States, there should be no slavery. The South might have contested this result of the election on good grounds and with fair hopes of success, as both Houses of Cougns.-a and the Supreme Court were on their bi le. But a majority of the Northern people having deoidtd against them, they surrendered thoe great advantages to the controlling force of publio opinion, and fell back on what they then believed to be their constitutional riht of secession. It was the supposed impossi bility ot resisting, for any length of time, the flat of publio opinion, that impelled them upon their mad and suicidal course. We sub mit, therefore, that the 7mcs' alleged excep tion rather confirms the rule. Whether that exception be real or only ap parent, the rule itselt is aokuowledxed. It is safe to assume that, in accordance with it, the minority win peaceably submit to the result ot this Presidential election, and surrender the Reconstruction policy which the majority of the people will have condemned. But as the whole drift of Republicau electioneering mili tates against such a supposition, we wisU that the 'limes, or some ether organ of the party, would be explicit and tell its readers whether the new policy is to b prsisted in, if a ma jority of the people thall, by their votes iu this election, repudiate it. It the beaten party cubmits te the declared will of the people ou this subject, the declamation about civil strite as a consequence of the ehctiou of Seymour and Blair, is nonsense. How cau there be any strife, if the Republicans accept tho popular verdict? All their electioueeiiug bugbears imply a determination, on their part, to set at naught publio opinion and defy the will of the majority, if the majority does not happen to be on their side. Now we wish they would tell the country whether this is their eettled determination; aud if it is, on what ground they expect to defend it. It cannot be denied that the Republican policy is a great innovation, nor that it is incongruous with the regular operation of our politioul system. Its incongruity is confessed in the Republicau platform itself, which says that the suffrage should be regulated by free local action iu part of the States, and controlled by Federal au thority in the others. The Republicau policy is not only an upstart deviation from settle! practice, but it has never been sanctioned by the people. They have never had an oppor tunity to pronounoe upon it. No buou issue as the regulation of suffrage in the States by Federal authority has ever been presented to the people 1h any election, until now. Have not the people a right to be consulted respect ing the polioy of their own Government f If they ehow by their votes that they reprobate such an innovation, the nature aud genius ot republican government requlrfi that the oil jyatoiu be acciuiestbd in until the new shall "eivea their sanction "Ku respectfully but earnestly ask the j imea to give u opinion ou the duty of the minority, if the majority shall repudiate the negro reconstruction polioy by electing Sey mour and Blair.

The Constitution of (Jcorgla. From the If. T. Tribune. Ou examination of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, we find the legal aspects of the question whether colored men have the right to hold oilioe under that Constitution to be as follows: The present Constitution con tains no clause expressly defining who shall or who shall not hold office, except provisions that persons convicted of treason, embezzle mnt of publio funds, malfeasance in office or bribery, and felons, idiots and insane parsons, and persons guilty of dueling, shall not hold oilioe. If these clauses stood alone, any lair court would be compelled to infer from the careful exclusion of so many' classes from holding office, and from the failuie to include colored men in the exoluded olass, that colored men had the right to hold office. The Constitution contains the usual clause that "each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of its members." Its clause relative to fran chise and elections makes every male adult person born in the United States, or natural ized, or who has declared his intention to be come a citizen, an eleotor, subject to oertain qualifications of residence and oaths. The clause, however, under whioh all the Demoeratic and a few of the Republicau mem bers have united in declaring blacks ineligible to etfice, and in ejecting the twenty-five col ored members from the State Legislature, is the following: "Auicie Xi. The laws of general operation in force In this Stale are: I. As tlie Supreme Law-The Constitution of the United. Slates, tlie lawsot tlie UuiledSUtna Iu j.un-iinnce thuroof, aud alt treaties made under Ihe authority of the United Htaies. 11. And next in authority thereto this Con bt Itr.: Ion. '111. In subordination to the foregoing All act phsmU by any legislative body, isittlng In thin JS'.ute as sucu, since the lath day of Jauu iy, lbQ, ineiuditiK tout body ot laws known as ItieUoi'.e of (J.roB'a, aud tiie acts atoeudatoiy thireot as pusicu uluce that lime which said code and acta ..re embodied In tho printed book kiiowu ha Irwlu's Code; aud also ro much of the common and Uatiuo laws of England and of the statute laws of Oeorgln ai were In foroe in this Mliitti ou the l'JlU day of December. 1800, as arc not hup! rai ded by said code, ihoimh not en, biaiied tueielu, except so much of tue said tuvein! ttatmes, codes, nnu laws as may be lu coiihlisteut with the supreme law herein reooir. nixed, or may have lu-eu passed la ftld or tue late Kf eel tion against the United States, or may b' obsolete, or may refer to persons held lu slavery, which excepted laws are inoperative aud void." According to the above, the old Constitution and laws of Georgia iu force prior to the s-ces-fciou of the State, and even the Rebel Consti tution and laws iu force during the Rebellion, are still in force, except so far as tbey oonlliot with the Constitution of the United States, or with the new Constitution of Georgia, or with the laws of Congress. We have examined carefully the Constitution adopted in 1798 and iu force down to the year 180'0, and it makes no dibtinction of color, either as respects holding office or voting. Voting is founded on citizenship only. We have not at Land the Irwin's code referred to in the above clause, but our correspondents state unqualifiedly that it contains no such clause. It is most improbable that any provision ex cluding negroes from holding office should Lave been adopted during the Rebellion, when li nne fiich Lad existed from 1798 down to 1800, and when the Rebellion was founded on slavery and exoluded the negro even from the citizenship. It seems to be plain, there fore, that the Democratic party in Georgia Lave inferred that negroes were constitution ally excluded from holding office prior to and dn ring the Rebellion ou acoount of their oolor. This inference is wholly unfounded. They were excluded only because they were not citiztEs. They have now become citizens. No constitution of the State ever excluded tLum on account of color. Therefore the only exclusion under which they ever rested has been removed, and the vote of expulaiou is clearly as wrong in law at It is unjust politi cally. As this is a question not merely of tin qoalifloations of certain members of the Legis lature, but of the eligibility ot all persons of a certain race te hold office, the decision ef the Legislature of Georgia is subject to be over ruled by the Courts, and the question will doubtless be brought in some form before the Supreme Court of the United States. As the logical result of the exolusion of a race from holding office would be their future exolusion from the right of suffrage, the effect of the action of Georcfa Will be to imDreaa Congress more fully with the necessity of passing a unl- iuiiu Buurage act ior an tne states. Some Democratic journals have hastily as sumed that, because of the passage of the aot ior tue admission of Georgia into the Union, Congress has no further power over the ques tions involved in the expulsion of these mem- oers. inis presumption is clearly unwar ranted. The act readmitting Georcria tn th Union takes effect only on the rratifioatlon by iu legislature oi ueorgta of the Fourteenth Amendment. No vote had been taken on the .Amendment in the Georgia Legislature at the time the proclamations of the President and of Mr. Seward, .declaring its ratification, were lBsuea. ueorgia is not named in these procla mations as one of the States by who3e votes ii . a . .... . vue amenanieni was ratinea. Subsequently a vote was takan bv tha Legislature of Georgia, and it was declared ratified by a majority, according to Mcl'her son's Manual, of 10 in the Senate and 24 (others say 19) in the House. But inoluded in this vote were 39 perjured ex-Rebel mem bers wno eat in violation of that clause of the Fourteenth Article itself which excludes from holdiDg office men who joined the Rebellion alter haviDg taken an official oath to support tbe Constitution. Add to these the 24 colored members who have just been illeeall v exDelled. and we have o'3 members voting on that ques tion, of whom 39 voted unlawfully; and if the remaining 24 voted lawfully, then they must return to their seats, and the recent decision exoluding them must Btand for naught. If vvugiecs noma iuo enure oj votes 10 nave been unlawful, then the Fourteenth Amend, ment has not yet been adop'ed, and oonse quently Georgia is not yet in the Union. If Congress holds the colored votes to have been lawful, it must see that the Georgia Legisla ture restores them to their seats before allow ing Georgia to resume her own seats in Con gress. The whole subject is, therefore, still within the jurisdiction of Congress, and the Rebels of Georgia will probably have to walk out of the Georgia Legislature themselves, as tue net result oi tneir motion.
