Alabama. It is the first of tba Con- ' stitntieoil Conventions held undvr the reconstruction measure of the Vorticth Congress. It is the first loyal body assembled io a Southern State since tie beginning of the war, (if we jeept Tenncitee, wbote position U poeuünr,) lo which were a tnajot.IT of Union men. r. I tniling the . Aret experiment that has jet been made of remolding tbt organic law of one of tie itteo Staff a.ibe once great stronghold of "rebellion snd slavery, jo that 'ich law hall eveWd with tin Declaration of Indrpcnd euc an J with the National sentiment .which declared duilng the late civil conflict that the Union must never be dissolved. It la ilia flint' Contention clothed with rail power, ever heUTn all thll vast Gulf region, in wbieh th-j-Unionist that naer fcafd to pervade' tbe hcarr) of targe portion of the people, haa felt free to utter il?flf. It i f rto first authgriutivo protest prlogteg from 1 1 o people them .scire against the criu.es tod errors of the aristocracy that once governed the South; and it Ii the first Convention ever assembled In America, In .which thl TlflWI or interests of tbe colored rare were consulted in the formation f in or.tnlo liw. All thla ia tbe more remarkable aa occur'ring In l State where slavery idJ Dem oeracy ware once enthroned, aa it seemed, beyond possibility of overthrow; end where, mre recently, all the powers of the State Government, backed op, apparently, with ihe entire unanimity of the people, were eoi:aged in a deadly struggle to throw off the national Minority, to w rench tbo Commonwealth from ita , place in the American Union, and to ruiko the lavery f the colored race, embracing a majority of the whole people, unassailable and perpetual. The Convention assembled on Tucaday, Xov. &th, at the Capitol, in the Hall of the House of lepra aen'alivea, at noon. 'The fall Convention cousiats of 100 iserabera, of whom fourteen aro colored men; a few are gentlemen of Northern birth, who aetteM In Alabama before the war; one fourth, perhaps, aro t enons fiom the North who have setllad there linco tie dose of the war, and tho remainder are ostivea of tbe State. , Id tbe entire Convention there is but a single gentleman elected by Conservative r rebel votta Mr. Howard, of Crenshaw. All the rest are Unioniti, more or less penetrated with the ides that the only eourse of safety fur the State or for tho Ueioo, la the prone nt disfranchisement of tbe more toslignint of the disloyal clisses and the more persistent and bitter encmiea of the National Government. Tho etile loent of this all important question of the frnchie,will be the moat difficult and IntcTtitin? duty detailing upon the Couren lion. ' Hon. K. W, Teck, of Tuscaloosi, was unanimously elected permanent President of the Contention. Capt. lbbcrt Harbour waa ehoaeo permanent Secretary; Henry 1'atrick, 1st Aaaiatant Secretary; Mos U.

The entire loyal debt of Alabama tbua declared em-red by the Convention, amounts tu six tuition one hundred and thirty-nine thousand and nine huodred snd tco dollars. Of course the rebel debt is utterly ignored.

This will be a severe blow toCopperhoad ogitntors who conceive their party interests will bo subnerved by keeping the country in hot water; but tho general good is more important than tbeir potty schemes for party gain aud personal profit.

I have udvised, iu tho abftcuco of u paper of our own, that our friends a-aW-ribo fur the Aincthtnt und do luj-o that many more Wilt d'l BO. Thcro is cuo lujttcr of great importance, in my estimation, to the growth aud prosperity of Harrison, to which 1 now desire to call uttention a subject fro (uently mooted, but not receiving the consideration it merits. I refer to tho pro. posed Hydraulic power. With Its construction Harrison would have great fucil. ities for becoming uu important manufao turing town. Situated cijui-Jintaut from Cincinnati and Drookvillo, with good turnpike roads leading to either place, und only eighteen or twenty miles distant, with good roads radiating to tho surroundiug neighborhood and towns, only ten miles from the Ohio river nt North Depd, tho geographical cenlro oT ono-ef tho richest nnd lu st cultivated agricultural regions of --n - mU' the West, and a good, well conducted tuilvKf road. L-ivea Harrison faciliiies rarel O

etjuulcti for receiving grain aud muteriuSSociety known as the.Sona of Liberty, for manfacture, and means of transmissionjluving for their object tho overthrow of

to a leady market. Add to this, the very beautiful and exceeding healthy location of our town; the fact that wo hava facili ties for firstclass ccbools; and but lew

churchy, finished and in process of sirucuon, in proportion to too uumoer wi inhabltanta; aud we certainly, with the t 1 1 . tr - jj a i. Hydraulic, could offer inducements for building up large manufacturing interests equaled by few pUvVs in the West. Dut the main question remains to be discussed. Is tho work practicable? Can the power bo furnished at an expense that would pay? This, it will be readily ad rnitted, w an important consideration. Hut the rower afforded Lv our defunct Canal when in operation, has fully deinonstrated this proposition iu tho alllrma - tive. And besides, it is not necessary to measure the puwee a work of this nature can be mado to afford, by a moderate outlay, with that given by the old Canal, as by dispensing with the locks and coo-'

Now how shall we answer this grave and all important que.tion? 1 trust we ahull lay aside all parte fouling, pass by all our former prejudices, and. resort to reasons that in themselves .should be decisive of our choice. We deem it unnecessary to to go into detail of the policies of these two opposing parties. You have read the history of both; you know (or ought to. at least,) their history for tho past six years.

We trust iho soldiers of Franklin County, and those who were their ft-ieirda, have not forgotten these insults that were hnrled at us. I, for one, still remember them, livery ballot I esst I expect to- think of them, and cast my tote accordingly. After all the insults thut have been heaped upon the soldiers they then com-e- fcp snd risk tho soldier's vote, ask lira and his friends tötend them to-Congress to legislate and make laws. Kven in our wtj Coonfy of Franklin thei refused lo voto for a. man for Clerk' of vour Court, Simnlv from tha ct thatat one time ho woic the uniform of a Union soldier, and be a Democrat at thst. We suppose they feared Uicre waa st least a possibility that the soldier might bare some regard for hia former comrades in arms. And they chose a man w Ivo stood by 1 1 rm in the past. We- wo this r what men think about. They have some reason, we suppose', for so doing. Dut we ask ono and. all to cxsmlnethese records msde by the Demncratio party.
