How entirely the party now ruling the country
depends for success on the word Niger" and
the prejudices which may be excited by the dexter
Gus use of it, is exemplfed in every election that
occurs, and strikingly in that which terminated
yesterday in Iowa by the adoption or rejection Of
Der proposed New Constitution.
That Constitution was framed last Winter BY a
Convention in which the Republicans had small
majo1ity (six); aud the Democrats who had, in a
party State Convention, instructed their Delegates
10 90 against "Niggers" all lengths and in every
possible way, have been doing their utmost to have
the Constitution rejected basing their opposition
almost entirely on its alleged favor to "Niggers."
Yet it confines the Right Of Suffrage to Whites,
unless clear majority of all those who vote for or
against the Constitution see fit to vote expressly to
strike the word "White" out Of it, a. nobody
supposes they will do. But this Constitution

In Courts of Justice, leaving the value and RELIABLE
ity of their testimony to be estimated by the tr-
bunals; and it further contains this provision
