(that he is, the judgment of every candid
and intelligent man will admit) he has
this right Wherever his home. is, he
should there be permitted to exercise that
right; and he, too, as well as the white
man, has the right of choosing bis own
home. Gods green earth is alike open to
them both. Let then, that obnoxious
word "white" -abnoxious only as it is
the vehicle of an invidious distinction
be excluded from our Constitution; and,
as we contemplate the future greatness of
the State, let its foundations, firm and
deep, be laid upon the broad principles of
the manhood of humanity. Let the mar.
row minded bigotry of the days Of dark
ness and prejudice be cast aside. Let the
weak and feeble, as well as the strong and
vigorous, enjoy protection. Let even
handed justice be meted out to every hu-

AN ELOQUENT APPEAL.

"Would to God exclaims the authores,
of "Hints on Dress and Beauty" Mrs
E. Cakes Smith, } "would to God my lips
were touched, as with coal from his own
altar, that l might say something in be-
half of our sisters, who toll and spin that
we may be adorned beyond the lilies of
the field; who weep and suffer and die,
that we may be dainty cared for; and
who by the abundance of our adorning,
grow weak and emulous, and finally de-
PRAYED and lost. 1t docs seem to me,
that out of the depths of womanhood We
might do something to take the sword out
of the souls of these bruised ones, for every
wrong inflicted upon ourselves. Wo to
the woman whose selfish vanity leads her
to pay scantly for the labor of such, who
exacts much, and pays little, and who
carelessly withholds the pay when it is
due, and thus compels the sewing woman
to lose time and strength in collecting her
small dues. It Is not well to shut our
selves in our gorgeous saloons, such as q
Cleopatra might have envied and which
might have lent new graces to an Aspasa
it is not well to go forth conquering
and to conquer ia all the pomp of exclu-
siveness and wealth, while the rude laugh
and the depravings Of vanity are convert
ing our kind from beings lower than the
angels, into shapes of darkness so misar-
able, that the bells that receive them
might weep ever the melancholy ruins"

Il would speak" said the fanciful phil
ologist, "Dutch to horses, French to wom-
en-, English to men, and Spanish to God"
But the English language has been well
called aggressive, and will eventually be-
come the dialect Of nearly all the world.
The Illinois Baptist has an eloquent
editorial upon our vernacular, whence VIC
take the following paragraph:
at is suited to all themes and people.
How it moves in solemn grandeur and o.
oquent simplicity in King James Bible;
how it marches in majestic and sublime
harmonies in Milton; how it flashes, star
ties and thunders in Byron; how it scar
ehes the heart and pictures the varied
men in Shakespeare: how its mystic num-
bers breathe out in Moore, or Tennyson,
or Longfellow. Hear its sounding sym
phonies in Watts, and Wesley and Heber
its philosophie rhetortie in Pope, and its
pathetic hcart-music in Goldsmith.

YOUNG MEN IN THE WEST.

Ho for the West! Ho for the West
Old or young rich or poor 1T matters
not Go to the West! Golden harvests
for the farmer; seats in the Legislature
aud political fame for the lawyer; quick
sales and tremendous profits for the mer-
chant; sudden rises in the prices of corner
lots for the land speculstor. In short for
tunes Of sizes to suit applicants may be had
simply for the trouble of packing up your
goods and chattels and taking the shortest
road to the banks of the Mississippi.
Young man believe it not 1t is but
the false glitter upon fancy picture got
ten up to order. You did not think it
necessary to bring all your money with
you. Of course not. That is not legi-
bly, written upon the canvas. But if it be
found in murky corner of that canvas, it
is at any rate understood. When you
have been in the West short time you
will be given to understand this in pretty
plain terms. Money is waated-money
money!
We wonder how many pairs of kid
gloves and patent. feathers, broadcloth
coats and hunting case watches are quiet
ly reposing in an obscure corner of may
uncles store, whilst the unfortunate and
misguided owners-many of whom allur-
ed by the inducements held out by their
friends in the West, who falling perhaps
upon ga streak of luck" had no doubt
painted fascinating pictures similar in
tone to the above,-giving up friends and
home to seek the land Glowing with milk
and honey" are now left to choose be-
tween two alternatives-beg their way
back again, or stay and receive with for
titude and patience the Bullets and kicks
of the Implying crowd. ..-.
1t is those who pursue the latter course
that we would address few kind words.
If false shame or an ardent temperament
prevent You from retracing your steps,
then prepare look upon the dark side of
the picture with steady and unfiinching
gaze. Ask yourself if you have energy
perseverance,, prudence,-an aboye all
sclf-reliance
If you have these qualifications, good!
You need them all. Now stake off your
coat, roll up your sleeves" and pitch
right in. Remember that there is moth
ing too low as long as it is honorable. Be
energetic, be prudent be persevereing;
and whether the time be short or long
fortune will eventually enable you to APP
proach nearer and faster the top of the
ladder.
And you, young man, preparing to
come out here stop a moment. Have you
asked yourself these questions? Have
you these qualifications? No! Then
stay whore you arc there is no place for
you here. There are no drones permit
ted around this hive. Incidence is starry
ed out and only industry thrives. No,
no-stay at home. Let influence and
association do for you there what YOU
cannot do for yourself here.-.S. PAIL

WINE DRINKERS, READ:

The gifted Charles La,nb-csn it bo
that he was wretched victim Of intem-
perancee Let the young man, who is
just yielding to the seductions of the wine
cup, hear from the lips of that unhappy
genius, this word Of painful confession and
solemn warning: -
"Tbe waters have gone over me-. But
out of the black depths, could l be hsari,
/ would cry out to all those who have but
set foot in the perilous food. Could
tho youth to whom the favor of his first
wine is delicious as the opening scenes of
life, Or the entering upon some newly dis
covered paradise, look into my desolation,
and be made to understand what dreary
thing it is when man shall feel himself
going down a precipice with open eyes
and a passive will--to see his destruction
and have no power to stop it, and yet feel
it all the way emaaating from himself; to
see all goodness enptied out of him, and
yet not be able to forget the time when
it was otherwise; to bear about the pitoous
spectacle Of bis own ruin; could he see my
lowered eye, feyerish with last nights drink
ing, and fcverishly looking for to-nights
repetition of the folly; could he but feel
the body of the death out of which l cry
hourl y, with feebler outcry to be delivered
it were enough to make him dash the
sparkling beverage to the earth in all tho
pride Of its mantling temptation"

NE- How like a morning cloud

~ How like a morning cloud is
worldly fame and how little worth pur.
suing. Daniel Webster has wrought out
a statesman's majestic life rs if it had been
a statue; and the noon sun shone full
upon it, and no shadows fell around the
broad pedestal.
A very aged man was his companion,
one day, as the stage coach labored ovel
the granite hills of his native State. Con.
versation beguiled the weary way, and
Webster inquired Of him if he ever knew
Captain Webster.
Indeed / did," replied the old man
"and brave man ard q good, he was
Sir, and nobly did he fight with General
Stark at Bennington"
"Did he leave any childrena" 40,
yes; there was Ezekiel, and ! think
Daniel" "And what became of them F.
asked Webster.
"Why, Ezekiel-and he was power
full man, Sir have heard him plead
in court often, and he fell dead while
pleading at Concord
"But what became of Daniel Z" "Dan.
iel-Daniel,' thcughtfully repeated the
old man; "wly, Daniel, l believe, is a

son as Daniel; and this is human fame

gle out their lives Chicago Journal.

GOOD TO MAKE MEN OF,

a gentleman once asked company of
little boys what they were good for? One
little fellow promptly answered:
1--WE are good to make men Of
Think of that my young friends, you
are all good to make men and women of.
We do not mean, nor did that little boy.
that you are merely good to grow up to
the size of men and women. No, We
mean good deal more than this. You
are to make persons that will be respected
and useful-that will help to do good in
the world. No one, who is not useful.
and does not seek to make the world bet
ter, deserves the name of man or woman.
You should not forget that, if there are
to he men and women-any that de-
serves such name twenty or thirty
years hence, they are to be made of you
who are now children. What world
this will be when you grow up, if all are
only men and sOomaen! Will you not pom
der this subject, and show yourselves
menu"
"Good to make men Of" What kind
of men will our youthful readers be TWEEN
ty years hencee Will they be classed with
the intelligent, the respectable, the indus
trious, the prosperous, the benevolent, the
pious men of the time? for doubtless there
will be such. 1t may require q little self
denial and hard study, and hard work !;
but such character is eheaply purchased
at that price-and such character we
wish all our readers to bear Youths

Is THE NEGRO A MANI

The above question is assuming prac-
teal Importance in this latitude Shall
the Constitution of the State Ito be) of
Minnesota, recognize the Negro as man,
or degrade him to the level of the brute
Our fathers of the Revolution declared
"that all men are created equal, and were
endowed by their Creator with certain
inalionable rights" This gives Importance
to the question, " Is the Negro man e.
If he is a "man," then he has rights as
a man-rights belonging to him, because
he is man. MAN." says Webster, "is
distinguished from all other animals by
his powers of reason and speech, as well
as by his shape and dignifcd aspect"
That the African race is endowed with
the powers of reason, no one acquainted
with its history can for moment doubt.
Many of its sable sons have left their i'm
press upon the worlds history as mon of
large mental capacity, while the present
generation furnishes ample evidence Of
their reasoning powers. The Republic
of Liberia and tho Carthagenian Empire,
are alike monuments of their manhood.
The African sni his descendants have
also the power of speech. If any doubt
this, let them listen to the burning, mo-
wing eloquence of Garnet, Pennington,
Clarke, Lequen, Watkins and Douglass,
or to the Luca family, and others, who,
by the magic power of song, have moved
so many hearts. And are they not in
the shape of men? Some of the noblest
specimens of the ssgenus homo" in manly
form that ever walke1 the earth, were of
sable hue. They, too, have hearts. The
qualities that make man human are posses
sed by them in large degree. We
therefore conclude that the Negro IS a
man. Being a man, he has rights equal
to and in common with other men.
Prominent among other rights is that Of
participating in the affairs of the govern
ment under which he lives. "What!"
says an asto1ished Doughface, "would
you have q niger vote9" Indeed |
would. If he is man he has right to
vote. If, in the language of the Declara-
ton of Independence, governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent of
the governed" then the right Of suffrage
is natural and inherent right. The
province of government is to protect per-
sons and property, and as every man in
himself has person to protect, and has,
or may have property to protect, it there
fore follows, irresstibly, that every man
has the right of participating IN the choice
of the officers of government. Every
man, wherever he may have been born,
or whatever may be the color Of his skin,
