Memo SUrFRAGE.-Both branches Of the
Legislature Of New York have passed a law
giving to negroes, without any property quail
~ication as heretofore, the righto # suffrage in
oil elections. What the people of the North
will get at next, it is hard to devine. They
have expressed III, tile pulpit, on the hustihgs,
at the ar,sald through the press, their bitter
hostility 10 the late decision Of the Supreme
Court im bred Scott case, and this act Of
the ]. Legislature Of NewYork may be Construed
into o contempt for the decision. Such peo-
pie deserve the bitter contempt Of the world.
Eastern Gazette.,
Why is our neighbor of the Gazette so par
.tieularly hard on the Legislature of New
York? Pray may not negroes be 9 resident
afhabiiant No man can deny this. Well,
then, Mr.. buchanan in his Inaugural, says ex-
pressly, that all PRESIDENT inhabitants are en-
titled to express their opinions by sstheir
pofes I" The Republicans united with the
\ Buchananites in the Senate, on the Dist oil
February, IN endorsing this doctrine, and the
former having the control Of the New York
Assembly, are simply carrying out this dema
gognism!
This is the age Of progress, and ills evident
that the Buchananites and the Sewardites are
r~iyalling each otherin the race. Buchanan
friends in the Senate united with Seward and
his friends, to break down the barrier erected
by the naturalization laws against alienism and
negreism ; and having effectually broken down
this barlier, each of these factions il seeking to
~ottstrip the other in its efforts to get the aliens
and africans vote for 1860! A perfect union
OF antagotistic delnagoguism was witnessed in
the Senate, Ton Senator Biggs's amendment to
Che Minnesota bill against Americanism and
conservatism, - having triumphed, by means
of this union, zthese factions, will, from this
time forward to l860ssbe rivals for the aliens
and africans vote.
AS We understand this matter, the Republi.
