--"What ue want" says The Herald, sis a
"combnation TO defeat Lincoln" Precisely so.
But there are at least One Hundred Thousand
Democrats in our State who are honestly and
earnestly for Douglas, and who will not be con-
scousy instrumental in sending the election TO the
House, whether Mr.. Douglas be left out, as The
Herald asserts OF LET in with the cards stocked

successful Fusion is impossible, save on the swim
ding basis of the Brooks Cagger juggle, whereby
the same Electors are commended to one class of

NEGRO VOTING.

The allied anti Republicans Of our State are hot
on the scent of party capital to be made Gas they
Think out of the question Of Negro Suffrage. Of
course, if they make party issue of it, while the
Republicans do not, but vote as they severally see
fit, they can beat the proposition now before our
People. But LET few undeniable facts be set
forth:
l. II is fact that this State, has never, since it
became State, withheld the Right of Suffrage
from Negroes. They have always been entitled to
vote, and have voted. Our original State Consti-
tuition, formed in III, By the Wings of the Revo-
lutionaIy struggle, allowed Blacks to vote on pre-
cisely the same terms as Whites. The State then
was and long remained slayeholding, and Of course
slaves did not yote-not because they were black
but because they had no property. That Revolu-
tionary Constitution, framed in part BY slavehod-
ers, required the ownership Of freehold worth
one hundred pounds or the renting of tenement
for not less than forty shiings per annum to con-
sttute one voter. Those who had the requisite
qualification could vote; those who lacked it could
not; being black or white made no difference what
ever. And this continued undisturbed over forty
years, or QOWu ~ lC<l' uAonhbhhc, hoShVoo NV
only voted if they chose, but the Fifth Ward of our
City, in which they largely resided, was often car.
RED by then votes.
III. In 1921, the Constitution was revised, and
the Suffrage qualification for Whites lowered,
while that for Blacks was raised Any white
citizen who had resided 3 year in the State, and
had paid a tar here, was henceforth a voter; a
black mustown $3.50 worth of real estate to do go.
In 1896, the Tax qualification for Whites was
abolished; the Property Qualification for Blacks
was retained, and stillis for no material change
was made by the Convention of 1916. The ques
tion of allowing Blacks to vote on like terms with
Whites was submitted to the People by that Con
yeption, and was voted down by large majority.
There the matter stands.
Understand clearly that the question OF allow
ing or forbidding Negroes to vote in our State Is
not before the People Let the result this Fall be as
it may Negroes will continue to be voters In our
State. The simple question to be decided by the
People is-Shall very incOnsiderable traction Oh
our People continue to be deprived OF the hight oil
Suffrage for want of $3.50 worth of dirt 7 II So

any event disfranchise them: Shall their poverty

Every one could readily name halt dozen ci'i'

could neither be bought nor used. But who

them cannot afford to 60; others could afford it,
but Will not; the residue would serve if properly
solicited, but disdain the low arts by which nomi-
nations are obtained, and elections secured. So
they leave the field to such men as are ready
enough to take it; aud the result is as we see. In
our deliberate judgment if the names Of all the tax
payers in our City were put in tub and sixteen
of them drawn out at random by blndfolded boy
those sixteen would represent the City at Albany
better than those we shall elect in November.
We beg thoughtful citizens to look earnestly to
this matter, and devise some escape from the EVIL
which environ us. We must upset the presen
system of nominations, under which those who
have personal axes to grind, and those VINO MAKE

through advertisements in the journals, and let
their Recommendation carry with it the weight 1t
fairly deserves. The number of signers to the
requisiton is Of no consequence-quality, In such
matters, being Of far more Importance than

Until some such system obtains currency, let us
all cherish and exercise the unquestlonabe right OF

ELI THAYER- A. DOUGLAS

Mr.. Thayer fayors something which he calls
Popular Sovereignty in the Territories; Mr..
Douglas likewise commends his nostrum as "Popu-
lar Sovereignty" But just note the points of diff
ference between them:
!. Mr. Douglas voted against Gov. Chase's propO-
sitOn that the People Of the Territories should
have the power to exclude or prohibit Slavery:
Mr. Thayer would most certainly have voted exact
ly the other way.
2. Mr. Douglas voted against Gov. Chase's propO-
sitOn that the Territories should elect their own
Governors: Mr.. Thayer insists that Governors
of Territories should never be, nor have been,
chosen in any other way.
3. Mr.. Douglas fought the FreeStat raen of
Kansas in 1851 step by step from first to last,
on their effort to get into the Union in ordsr to get
out from underline iron heel Of the Border Ru fans
stigmatizing their volunteer organization Of State
Government as rebeliOn Mr.. Thayer Aolds that
they were right in that movement and Douglas az
wrong as could be in resisting it.
4. Mr.. Douglas, through his satellites in the
House, including Richardson his then and Allen
his present candidate for Governor of Illinois,
fought to the last the proposition of George G..
Dunn "a Fillmore Amercan) that the alleged out
RACES and frauds in the Kansas election Of 1855
and its fruits be thoroughly investigated by Con-
gressiOnal Committee: Mr.. Thayer holds that this
was very little for Congress to do in the premises,
but there should have been no question about doing
so much.
5. Mr.. Douglas never raised his voice nor gave
vote last session in favor of the Admission Of
Kansas under her Free-State (Wyandot) COnstitu.
ton, though he might have done much in her be-
half: Mr.. Thayer supported her application most
heartily at every step, and holds that gross wrong
was done her by the Democratic majority in the

"proof Of merit than otherwise" This was
twisted into an assertion that "Propety is the
"test Of merit, and universalt Democracy went
into spasms Of indignation over Let US see how
it will justify those spasms at the November Elec-
ton.
They tried to get property qualification into
the first Constitution of Pennsylvania, but Dr.
Franklin opposed and defeated it, getting tax
qualification inserted instead. Said the VI
"Here is a man who owns q jacksss worth SSo'
"aud on the strength of that possession ne Is Gu
" titled to vote Before the next eiecuon' tne
"iackass dies; and now he is disffanchlsea. In
GO his case in which is the franchise really vested
g ,he man or the iackassl" Answer, Democrats
ofNew-York!
III The Colored Population Of our State con-
s;sts Of some fifty thousand persons-at most, a
si,teth part of our population. They are less
considerable fraction Of the aggregate than they
were fifty years ago. If the Property qualification
is swept away, they may possibly give one vote out
of sixty polled at any Election, but probably not
one in hundred. Is it wise, for the sake OF this
infnitesmal fraction, to cherish glarng anomaly
in our political system-one that bases poiiticai
rights on Property rather than Manhood
All the mere slang about Amalgamation,"
"Nigger Equality" &c, is answered BY the siosle
fact that Negroes are cOerS here nop and always have
been. TIVE strongly Democratic Conventions have
revised our State Constitution within the last forty
years. without seeing fit to disfranchise them, as
either might have done. All the danger Of "Nt gro
Governors, NEGRO Juries, &c, that can be
corjured up has always existed Negroes not Only
always could vote in our State but always did aud
we never heard Of any bad result therefrom, unless
II was when their votes made Washington Hunt
Governor. That was single occurrence, standing
out by itself; and the best may blunder once. We
did then, 80 did many others.
We shall vote to abolish the Property qualifca-
ton and base Suffrage strictly Oh Manhood; others
will do SO as they think best. AL We ask Is that
ballots For and Against the proposed Amendment
be fairly distributed by all parties and let each
man vote as to him shall seem best.

s. nate n keeping her out of the Union, under the
mile ~ Fedktsl satraps, and denying her voice In
the pesdip6 der tial Election.
G. Mr.. while processing to be travelling
and steakll IN purpose to make the People
acquainted with bis views yet dare not answer this
question, propounded to him by venerable clergy
man at Augusta, Maine:
Do Won hold and II elected President Of the United States
oud you carry out doctrine that the people Of Territory
before State have the power under the Federal
Constitution and notwithstanding the bred Scott decision
prohibit or ereiuic siarerv therefromT'
Mr.. Thayer answers this question promptly and
decisively: The People of Territory, acting
through their Legislature, hare right to prohibit
Slavery, or any other nuisance; and such act would
be uDquestonably valid.
In short, Mr.. Thayer is for real, honest Popu'
lar Sovereignty in the Territories, while Mr.. Doug
las talks Popular Sovereignty but uphods the bred
Scott decision and the right of any single slave
holder to plant Slavery in Territory in defiance
of the popular will. Their positions are as oppo-
site as light and darkness. True, Mr.. Thayer be-
lieves that genuine Popular Sovereignty-nOt the
Douglas counterfeit would preserve or rescue
every Territory from Slavery; and so it probably
would if all would admit Mr.. Thayers fundamental
petition that there is no power in Congress nor in
Territorial Legislature to legalze Slavehoding in
this country outside of the Slave States, any more
than there is to establish monarchy or aristOcracy
If Mr.. Thayer were President, we would want
nothing better than popular Sovereignty" as he
understands It; with Mr. Douglas in the White
House. pledged to dance to any tune from the bred
Scott bag-pipes, the case would be bravely al
tered.
We make these suggestions in the hope that
they will be considered by the Republicans of Mr..
Thayers District. We do not entirely agree with
Mr.. Thayer, for we think Slavery got into Virginia
under the ags Of " Popular Sovereignty" and we
are not sure that same would aways henceforth
operate eontrarwise; but Mr. Thayer is an ear
nest and effective Republican, and the cause still
needs his services wherever they can ne most ef-
fectiye.
