NEGRO SUFFRAeE.--We are glad to see that the
question To be decided at the next election, whe-
Their negroes are, or are not TO be placed on the
same political equality with the white popua-
ton, is receiving the attention which its impor-
lance and interest demand for it. 1t is agitated
and discussed in the hotels, public houses, bar
rooms, coffee houses, and in the social circle; and
from what we have heard, we expect t. see it de-
cided by most tremendous majority against the
negroes. We shall be much disappointed, if we
do not have majority Of thirty to thirty. five
thousand in the negative in this city alone.
The "ldes of November" are fast approach
ing, and before our citizens deposit their ballots
they must see that they have in their hand one
that will be a rebuke to the factous demagogues
and mock philalthropists, who would upturn our
social and political fabric for the purpose of
having few negroes forced TO an une DUAL
equality, not with themselves-for the blacklist
among them is fin TO associate and sleep with
them-but with our fellow American citizens.
who are willing to favor the colored race politi-
cally and socially as much as the laws and the in
stinct of our nature will permit
As the negro is at present situated in this State
he has all the rights and privileges which the
whites themselves enjoy-except that of suffrage
he has the mantle of the laws spread over him
as much as the whites have; he has security for
life and property; it is as much criminal in the
eye ofthe law to infiict injury on him as on
white man-all his rights are guaranteed to him,
except the right of suffrage, and that we never
will consent TO extend to him, because the mo-
ment he became possessed of it he would use il,
at the direction of the fanatics, as an instrument
to subvert our glorious institutions
What we wish TO impress on our citizens is,
that they must vote on this question. 1t will not
DO to dodge the issue by not voting on it. That
would be dishonorable. The question must be
met, and verdict returned that will put it at rest
forever.

The MAGNETIC TRLKeRArH.-We perceive that
our Canadian neighbors are about to avail them
selves OF the advantages of the magnetic tele-
graph. It's understood that lines will be imme-
dately established between all the PRINCIPAL cities
there, forming conRecton between Montreal.
Quebec, Kingston, Toronto, and thence to De.
troit, Michigan. This will bring all those cities
into instantaneous connection with New York.
the great centre of the continent. We are also
informed that there is every probability that the
thence to New Orleans.
Thus it will be seen, that within a short time
the whole of the Atlantic coast and the interior,
will be united and clasped by these magic wires
The importance of having the line extended
from Washington to New Orleans during the ex-
isting war with Mexico is apparent. If the mag
nenc connection had been existing for the last
three or four months, the thoughts, wishes and
commands Of the government could have been
transmitted to New Orleans in less time than il
has taken to write this article; whereas all the
communications that have taken place between
those cities have taken many days.
II il had been in operation when General Tay-
lor concluded the armistice, subject to the ratii-
cation o his government, he could have de-
spached messenger to New Orleans and re-
ceived an answer back in six days; whereas the
messenger that he did despatch was enabled after
great speed, to reach Washington only in sixteen
days, and allowing the same time for him to re-
turn, it would make altogether period of over a
month-half of the time for which the armistice
was arranged. The saving in time, and the
effects that would accrue from so long suspen-
sion OF hostliues, will undoubtedly cost the gov
eminent more money than would suffice to con-
struct Geographic communication between
Washington and New Orleans
We hope that this fact will have its proper
effect upon Congress at the ensuing session.

WAGES OF WoMEN-We have lately received
several communications relative to the low wages
paid to girls for making caps, parasols, umbrel-

therefore, paid very little attention to them, but
yesterday we received one that gave us a few

HONOR TO GENERAL TAyLoR-Sinte the Official
documents furnished by General Taylor TO the
administration, have been published, the public
mind has settled down to the conviction, that the
course pursued by hum in agreeing to the capitu-
ation OF Monterey, was the best that could lie
adop'ed under the circumstances.
General Taylor has, by his past efforts to
achieve honor for his country, succeeded perfect
y, and entitled himself to the gratitude Of his fell
low citizens of all classes We.were, therefore,
much mortified at perceiving symptoms of dis
satisfaction expressed concerning his conduct,
when the unofficial counts of the capture of
Monterey reached here. We knew, and so stated
ut the time, that an officer who has proved him self
on all occasions, TO be- not only "rough" towards
those to whom he was opposed, but likewise
ready" to administer them a thrashing when
opportunity offered, would not take single step
that was not dictated by prudence, and with a
due regard TO the interest of the cause he was en-
barked in, as well as the cause of humanity and
civilization. That he has done so, all are now
ready to admit.
We trust there will be less disposition shown
hereafter TO censure General Taylor unnecessarily.
The greatest honor that can be conferred upon
that distinguished officer, is 10 have his fellow
citizens approve Of his conduct, when he is salts
fled he merits their APPROVAL while on the other
hand, censure-unjust censure, is calculated to
dampen his spirits, nd throw obstacles in the way
OF his serving his country, and eevating its char
acter for bravery among the half civilized people
of Mexico
