The hmwrjpf EvIdwvW1ioiny 1m Sworn Wltaese fbr WliU NAha Leeislatnra is about to eotor upon the dtity of revising the Code in such manner as to conform to the new constitution la reference to tae rea" tiona between- tb.ThitaMid. coloredi races, it may not be tinprofltable to In-J quire what tfielaW tf evince bo is la teUtiou tojtbege partiesana what testimony the white man is entitled to have by the existing law.

"The first (treat safeguard which the law pVoVidcifor'tne ascertainment, of I no tcutn in irainary cases, cohbibiw reqniring all evidence to bfi" given un der the sanction of an oath Ihis poses the strongest obligation upon the conscienco of the witness to declare the whole tmih lliat'humau wisdom can devise: a wilful violation of the- truth exposes him at once to' temporal and eternal punishment. judicial bath may be defined to be a solemn invocation the Doity opaA the witueHs, if ho do not declare the" whole' truth as far as ae knows." "Henicejt follows that all persons mnj be sworn as witnesses Who believe in the existence of God, in a futuro state of rewards and and in the obligation of an bath that who be lieve that divine punishment will the consequence of and there fore Jews, Mahometans, Geht003, or in short, anv sect possessod of 1 such belief, aie so far competent (1st Starkie on Evidence, p. 22.) We air know that the -freedmen of the United States have; been taught from time immemorial to believe in the existence of God and in a future state of rewards and punishments. Hence they have always been allowed to be sworn as witnesses in all pleas of the State and as between persons of color. The policy of the state of slavery alone excluded them as witnesses in other Cases before slavery was abolished-Mhat being done the white man now can have tho benefit of the testimony of the frccdman ualosa tho Legislatura, by lawj prohibit the Bame.

1 What motive has the whilo man to deprive himsolf of this right There are now about four millions of freedmen in the United Statos; they are all without properly and depedent on the race for tho privilege of employment and tho means of supporting life. They have therefore the strongest possible motive for friendship to the white racej 1 If they are likely to have any partiality at all, upon every basis of human reasoning that partiality must be in favor of tbe white race to whom they must look for their daily bread. They will now become the hired serv vants of the white race they, will be laivful agents of the white race for. the possession, transmission aad delivery of all kinds of portable property. millions of these agents of white meii will be daily employed by them.

In al' the associations "of life. Wo' may, therefore, safely, ostimato i tliat these four millions of agents wiU daily know four millions of truths in the proof of which their principals, the white em ployers, are If we deny the white "man the common law and common sense right of proving his claims by tlie toloreJ: agent? mutually agreed upon by all parties to contract for the delivery of all portable property and the performance of all daily labor, how will you supply this deficiency in the white man's evidence9: "What mo tive have we to deprive "'ourselves Of this present existing right? Is it the fear that the colored agents will not t9ll the truth? If yea, we have, the same legal tests of truth against colored as against white witnesses. The colored man is more iguorant, more sim1 pie in all respects.than white man and more easily detected in falsehood than the more intelligent, more ingen. eodj, more subtle white man. With four millions of freedmen in corporated in the body politic, with rights of life, liberty and property with four millions of lawful agents for all the ordinary labors of there mast necessarily be some millions of cases where none but colored testimony can be produced in 'favor' of the1 rights bf white men.

What have thesq white mea done that they should berprhibiied by law from proving their rights byj tbe only evidence wiihnf their Teach They have employed colored ageuls toj perform the labors and duties called in question. Was that unlawful? Ob, nol that was all The colored agents must work for the white man, but he must not prove the performance of his'work for thet whits Why not because ho; i negro because ho. belongs to an inferir race Butj cannot a negro tell the truth under the penalties of an oath? Ob, yay lie can do that, but then he is still a uegro. If not truth the game whether" fa the knowledge -of a colore!

'iKsumoiivt'ia ail'ca'ses where, no better pmof can le bad; more especially as the tonrt and jury will be of the white race, who are very competent to prOte'cf their owffracs from alt cbmbf ng.tibps Qmpan poesjbly Let the Legislator reflect upon what he is dolngl If ho deprives his constituents of the great natural rights of all raen-n'rHj irmuiui kwvuuu cum merceoxiiba prevents the administra tion of condemnation will ho not bring down upon his own head? ucU6t'yvJ au a.

'All testimony is allowed for the sako of truth, for the ends of justice. The fact, that a human being ia a competent wUnoss doesi not change his social or poli'ticat' Status It baa no possible connection with either. If a man knows the truth and is capable of telling, tho same about any matter in the canse ofjuBttcb1 is' advanced by permitting him to testify to that truth. Tho policy of.thq buy is to Increase, not di miuish the evidences of truth. It is a great mistanc to play ine paiiuc.ai uem agogue on a question of vital impor tanco to tlie white race.

Twelve months of practical experience with hired ftoedmen as mediums and Common car riers and deliverers of all kinds of port able: property for tho; white race will prove that the testimonyof these agents are absolute'y 'indispensable' to the white race. -i ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

S. Senator. i It is gratifying to the people to konw that in tho election bt Judge bhaiKey by, an ahnost personal prjudioea and ambition were laid aside for the public good and the of thojegislature will find their reward when they go home, and bear from their constitnfints the award, "well doue eood and faithful servants' 1 This is tiO time for personal or sec tional feeling, all such, matters should be waived pro bona publico. Let the Ronublic be preserved was the Roman motto lot U3 preservo our State should no tne motto oi every true imssissip- pian. 1 To jret admission to the Senate is of as much importance as to get elected to there: Jiulgo Sharkey's broad shoulders might enable shim; to carry in a coU league burdened with many political sins--but is it futt' to make him cairy weight whenjso much is at stake; feme- lv not.

Now everybody knows that the two men in our State most acceptable to the powers at Washington, are Judge isrkey aud Win. lerfrer. "They can present themselves at the door aiid be sure of a warm welcome if any- men can bo welcomed from our State ana when once admittea, everybody knows' that the interests of the State will be safein their hatids. As a question; of pride of section, the North ought to have her. Has she patriotism enough to sacrifice pride oil the alter of public Hr, men are good men and true; can they their interests at this time, and wait for their reward from a grateful people?
