Wo aro opposed to it from no prejudi• cial reasons., but because we , conscien tiously believe it is a wrongi to the na- ' tion and a wrong tQ the..negrocs them selves. WO'liave hoard it said that this is a Republican form - of govern ment, ready - to nioeivelhe emigrants from foreign nations, and invest them with the privileges of Americans. While wo have done this, as far as con coma White Men, and will continuo to do, so, under die ptovisiona of the Con: stitution, yet we believe there am mo tives .of - ,good policy which should -pi s ompt ds.to deny the privileges of vo ting-and.hdhling - office, to blackmen.

The two races are too spparate and distinct to' admit of any such equality. We have evidence of this -in the:Southern States; where Con gress has assumed the power, against the will'of the . peoPlO,' to u Oonfor the suffrageOn the negro element. Alrdady it hits bred a feud,; which will exist as Jong as the privilege is permitted. We - have also evidence's Of the nogre'ne tun. having in :,those States more than enough votes to •give; them the balance, el power,..theybh,vo in many Instances elected 'negtiies to nfileo; who will:undoubtedly Conforin in all things to the wishes,of their own race, oven to the detriment of -the interests of the whites.

For these reasons We believe it to be a ,wrong to, the qountry to-give-the two races equal political privileges,. It can be easily understood why it would he a wrong to the negroes themselves, ii4vp . e,qual political priv-, ilegcs ; with. whiteimen.

H. Bingham, a member of the Alabama Constitution al Convention, is 'a fair , ' specimen -of this class. Ho is it native'of Vermont but ,having resided in Alabama for more than.thirty years, it is reasonable to suppose that he has hadlime to bo come sufficiently identified with South. ern interests to desire to Pronuito thorn in• every possible way.

Mr. Binghatngoes about the matter sySternatically,• add by the most inconsiderate and nonso,n, sical harangues endeavors to. foster and perpetuate in the minds ,of the freedmen a feeling of antagonism to wards the white portion of -the popu lation, In the same spirit he speaks and votes, as a member of the ,Consti-• tational Convention ; and if its labors are to be based altogether upon 'his platform, then woe to, the unhappy men who have elevated him and oth ers of like spirit to power. This Alabama Convention, in which Mr. Bieghtim at present figures so'con spicuously, is overstepping the, bounds of propriety in more ways, than , one. Impressed with an idea, that its, pow ere are altogether sovereign-and • un• limited, it has undertaken to legislate upon the subject of divorces, and simi lar. matters, • thereby ; simply holding itself op to tlividicele of the country. There are 'likewise in ,the Louisiana Convention some men who aro afflict ed,with a sense of their own, supreme authority and wisdom ; and they have pr:Opiised—although the' Convention has not as yet had foolishness .to de clare:---,that no other Convention 'for the',further revision of the, Constitu tion shall he authorized by the Legisla Wye within fi 9y ety 'years. If such a ridiculous measure is approved by this body, it will insure to .Lpuisittna, in all 'probability, a repetition of scones simi lar to those which transpired in Rhode Island during the Dorr rebellion.

The resolution is as follows : ' "Eighth, That Akdreiv 'Johnsen ought to resign, and that we call upon Congress, immediately after re-assem bling, to 'pet this desire of the people in proper form and lay it, before the person to whom il, refers.". Now that impeachment is disposed of, it is to .beloped that Congross will take up and consider the importance of the above resolution. Delays are dan gerous, Items of General Interest.

During the Exposition, a conference was held by delegates from the several nations, the United States being one, in which the inconvenience' to commerce and social. inter course ' resulting , ftloin divers standards of, mousy value were fully discussed; cud Plans were.developed for establishing' by universal consent &common principle for the coinage of gold. !These conferences are expected to be renewed with the attendance of many for eign State's not'hithorto represented. , A re port of these interesting proceedings will be submitted to Congress, which will no doubt justly appreciate , the great' object, and ,be rendy.to adept any measure which may'tend to facilitate its ultimate accoMplishment. flu the ,twenty: fifth "of February, 1862, Congress declared by law that the Treasury notes without interest, authorized, by that act . ..should . lsgal l tenders in the 'payment dell debts, public and private, within the United States. An annual remittance of $30,000, less stipulated expense, accrues to claimants under timeonvention made with Spain in 1834. These remittances, since the passage-of the act, have been naid, in Buell notes. The claimants insist that the Gov ernment ought to require yayment in coin.
