Negro Suffrage.

Now in the name of all that's wonder
ful and great, if negro suffrage is not
Black Republican doctrine, where is their
platform? The truth is, the Ethiopian
plank is the only one upon which their par
ty is founded. Let that be discarded, and
what have they to build upon?
We call upon the kankakee Gazette, OF
tawa Repu6tican and Bloomington P0nfa-
graph for their views on this question:
Say, ncighborS, arc YOU in favor of ext md
ing the right of suffrage to the coIorcd men
of Illinois? Or will you, like the editors
of the Wilmington Herald and Iroquois
Repuplic0n, bolt this cardinal doctrine Of
Black Republicanism?-Jol Signal.
1t is only since Douglas recent speech in
Springfield that we have understood "ne-
gro suffrage" to be cardinal doctrine Of
BLACK Rcphblicanism. Certainly MOTH
ing in Republican platforms, resolutions or
speeches, ever showed it to be So But
that need not trouble you, brother Larley,
nor need not trouble yourself to ask wheth-
it is really so. You have your orders from
headquarters. and all you have to do is to
fire "niggers" at the "Black Republicans
without intermission, until Douglas (or
somebody else gets into the Senate. Mig
gers make first rate ammunition, when well
rammed down and shot off with emphasis.
and we advise you to stick to them, and
fire nothing else. Well draft you an ar
gument on the question.
Major niger; minor, nigger; conclusion.

ger; and vet again, nigger. Thirdly, mig

cannot possibly be answered. Blooming

The Key Note Sounded.

Mr. Douglas speech at Springfield was
doubtless intended as the key note, IN unison
with which the lesser voices of the Pro
Slavery party in Illinois are to howl, until
the Senatorial contest is over. Its lack OF
truth in all its statements intended to bs
imposed upon the people as the correct po-
litical gospel. and its mcndacity of asser-
ton when he speaks of the purposes of tho
party by which he is opposed, its general
lack of statesmanlike view. and Its intense
and unconcealed malignity, mark it as
special effort for which he made elaborate
and painful preparation; because no man
not even Mr.. Douglas, expert as he is
could, upon the spur Of the moment, invent
as many falsehoods and put in form as much
malice as that speech contains. We pass
by, as not now deserving of comment, the
rehash of the untruths in regard to affairs in
Kansas, his abandonment of his squatter SOY
ercignty dodge in the application Of remedy
to the disorder that reigns in Utah, and his
minor charges against the Republican party.
for the purpose of pointing out to our friends
elsewhere in the State, the one falschood-
no greater but more dangerous than the 9TH
ers--upon which the orator and his friends
propose to make the fight; and that is the un-
qualified assertion that Republicans are la
boring for the equality of the white and black
races-that the end of Republican legisla
ton would be the throwing down of the bar
riers which now stand between the African
and Caucasian, and an amalgamation of
the two in all the complex relations OF life.
This assertion, which is false from Begin
ming to end-false in all its parts and false
in the aggregates TO serve them instead
OF treason and argument They are with it
to answer all appeals to the country sense
of justice, all reference TO the belief and
practice of our Fathers, and all arguments
which show that the white man, and not
the slave alone, is vitally interested in the
great battle, the result Of which is now pen
ding.
We warn our Enthusiastically our CO.
laborers of the Republican press--that the
maintenance of the falsehood, with brazen
assurance and effrontery, at all times, and
in all places, is the policy of the enemy
They have seized upon the prejudice Of
color, from which AboitioniSts are not ex-
empt, and whenever they can WELD it to ad-
vance their cause-excuse their recreancy
to the interests of the white man--their
preference for unpaid slave labor over free
white paid labor-their incessant encroach-
ments upon the principles that underlic our
form of government-their complete con-
version to doctrines which lead msiitably
to despotism-they will employ it. Fore,
warned is forearmed Will our friends see
that the tables are turned upon them-tha,

We like that. 1t is genuine Democrat
ic blackguardism polished into q tolerablo
semblance of sarcasm
1t is worthy of note that Mr.. Tanner
deals altogether in generalities in this letter,
probably because they furnish more plas-
tic material for the manufacture of antith
eses, and well turned denunciation; and
possibly because he means to write again,
and don't want to use up all his matter at
once. In consequence Mr.. Bright will be
apt to care very little for lick where more
pains have been taken to polish the knife
than to put it in tender place If the
writer had taken up the Collins bill, the
Texas bonds, the Brooklyn Dry Dock, and
some other topics witha dissecting power,
and dircctness Of thrust, at all approach
ing the elegance of the style Of this letter,
he would have made Mr.. Bright suffer as
much as his stolid nature is capable of suf-
fering. 1t is possible that this may yet be
done, as Mr.. T. says he will give blow for
blow, and this last is exactly the thing, as
we said, to start the whole Bright kennel in
full yelp.
A snccring allusion to Mr.. Brights scna-
torial career is worthy of some note as Mr.
Tanner is the man who devised, with the
aid Of Mr. Senator Wallace, the scheme
for clecting that gentleman with Dr. Fitch,
last winter, which has given these gentle
men and the party about the worst Of the
many bad odors that make up the inellable
stencil they assal the nostrils of the hon
est world with. 1t was bold fraud and
so far it has been successful by the con-
nivancc of the L. s. Senate. But its au-
thor indicates a slight doubt ofthe value of
its effect, since it has put Mr.. Bright where
he has become the recipient of undeservcd
honors, the unpcrforming Stipendiary Of a
disgraccd constituency" We concedc the
disgrace and "unpcrforming," but we
dcny that he is ''stipendiary of his constit-
ucncy." He is the hircling of others, the
more shame to him

End of the New York Riots.

NEW DIRK, July ii.
The riot in the 18th Ward lasted till
midnight The Policemen were all OBJ
liged to keep themselves confined within
the station-house for fear of violence, sew
eral of the force having been surprised and
beaten by mobs. The riot originated in
the attempt of Coroner Perry to hold an in
quest over a man shot in the riot on Sun
day.
The friends Of the deceased objected on
account of the Coroner's being an Amer
lean or Know Nothing. Mr.. Perry went
among the excited people and made an ap-
peal to them to keep the peace, promising
them it should be conducted fairly. The
rioters heard him respectfully, but refused
to allow the policemen to walk their beats.
Abont Ii o'clock. commissioner Draper
ordered posse Of 500 policemen to ap-
pear where the Rioters were congregated-
The Police succeeded in performing their
task without much difficulty a slight
collision took place and several person,
were arrested with firearms in their pos
session.
General Hall had the 18th, Sth and list
Regiments under arms till midnight, when
no further disturbance being apprehended,
they were disbanded.
This morning the city is quiet.
Six policemen and about dozen riot
crs are now under arrest more or less hurt.
Mayor Wood was not to be found du-
ring the progress of the riot. At the in
quest into the death of Meyers, it was pro-
ven that he is the notorious burglar known
as Jack Spratt, and he was shot not in the
riot, but in the act of committing burglary
in Broadway.

Mr. Marcy.

The Y. J. 7riJuRe, in an article giving
brief history of;hc political career of Mr..
MACY, says.
Gen. Pierce, on assuming the preSiden-
cy, offered him the portfolio of the State
Department, which he accepted though his
tastes and pursuits had hitherto led him
away from the field of Foreign Politics
Probably no grcencr Secretary of State ev
er entered upon the duties of that post; yet
few or none ever filled ii more effectively
Several of his State papers will long he
treasured and admitted, and he may be
said to have reflected honor even on the Ad-
ministration of Gen Pierce--an achieve
ment to which few men would have proved
equal. That lie was its good genius was
very generally realized. That he never ap-
proved nor countcnancei the violation of
the Missouri Compact is beyond doubt; and
this is all the foundation there ever was for
the Southern report that he was about to
join the BLACK Republicans" Had lie
yielded to his natural impulses in 1884, re-
signed his seat in the Cabinet. and placed
himself at the heal of the opposition to
Douglass Nebraska policy, he might, per-
haps, have died President of the United
States. But Gov. NJ was trained in that
mistaken political school which holds it
better to be wrong in the Democratic party
than right out of it, and he lived and died
in conformity with that error

tha. the Republican party is in favor OF
Negro Equality" 1t don't care a cent
about that All it and its friends are after
is to direct attention from their own cor
ruptions. Their object is to spread the
area of slavery, in order to satisfy their
Southern friends, and to enable them to do
so know that they must get up a prejudice
against the Republican party. Laboring
men, Mechanics, Farmers, who do not wish
to see honest labor degraded, and who dc
not want our fair territories debauchcd by
the whitening blight of Slavery, listen not
to the bctrayers of liberty. Remember,
those men who now seek TO pre- judice you
against the Republican party by charging
it with being in favor of Negro Equality y
are the same who broke down the Missouri
Compromise, the same who have tried to
enforce the bogus laws enacted by Missouri
mob, upon the freemen of Kansas-thC
same who have justified all that was done
by the border ruifians in Kansas, and con
dcmned every act of the friends of liberty
