LANDMARKS.

The legal voters of our State 10 part have been,
and for the rest soon will be, summoned TO assemble
in primary meetings and choose delegates to their
respective nominating Conventions BY those
Conventions, our rulers and ,gslators for the
ensuing term will be lin the first instance) selected
subject to the Peoples approval. We desire to
see honest, incorruptible men nominated on all
sides; or, if rOgues and thieves shall be put up
instead, desire that the People shall brand them
with lasting gnomipy. Let no man persuade you
TO vote Tor thief this once for the party's sake;
for the party has no business to put up a thief;
and, if it does, it is your business to put him down
You can no otherwise serve your party so well as
by voting down its thieves. La another article, we
have grouped a portion of the corrupt dOiDgs at
Albany last Winter, in order that the People OF all
parties may mark the men who participated in
them, and, should the heads of any of them appear
above water this Fall, hit them. Republican or
Democrat, you cannot bit amiss if you bit one who
was involved in the cOrruptions of last Winter.
We have wish to clear our own party of its full
responsibility for it's part in those proceedings it
must clear itself by sternly rebukiug the guilty 1t
is very true that much larger proportion of Dem
ocrats than of Republicans voted for nearly or
quite every bad measure of the session. but lot the
Democrats deal with their plunderers, while we ad.
minister the needed discipline to ours. We have
full faith in the of either party, that they
are ready to stigmatize legislative corruption
whenever it stands revealed before them. 1t shall
not be our fault if it is not thus exposed And if
the Press of all parties will do its best to unmask
the plunderers and bring them to Judgment inste ,d
of trying to make party capital out of their mis-
deeds, New-York will never again be shained and
cursed with a. other Legislature like her last

We doubt if the COuncilmen will be able to carry
the japanese swindle to night. Mr.. Townsend,
who was absent on Friday night, is understood to
be opposed to it in toto, and Mr.. Lent is said
to have concluded that he has done enough for his
friends on the Committee, and that henceforth he
will not vote for the appropriation until the bills
have been published, and the items all verified II
Mr.. Lent has really resolved to do himself and the
tax payers justice to this extent, he will Of course
make it manifest by his vote tonight. ln that
event. the conspirators will lack two votes of the
number requisite to consummate their scheme OF
plumber. They will Therefore be obliged to make
public the items, or 20 without their money.

We hear that Mr.. Councilman Lent begins to
doubt whether the post of advocate for the Japan
ese robbery is one that will pay, and that he In
tends to come back to the side of honesty and the
public interest. We are glad to hear this report,
and shall be more strongly convinced of it's truth
when We see Mr. Lent speaking AID voting in the
Board of Councilmen against the fraud which he
50 warmly defended on last Friday night. Let Nc.
Lent prove by deeds that he has repented of CIV
ing himself to the support of this extraordinary
robbery, and then we shal believe that it is fact
It would also be well for some other members of
the same Board to repent along with him.

The taxes of North Carolina, Of most other
States, have been quadrupled within the last TWEEN
ty years; yet slave property is exempted BY Con-
stitutiousl provision from this heavy burden. NO
slave under twelve OF over fifty years OF age pays
any tax whatever; while between thse ages ne
pays but poll.tsx, the same Is white man.
Thus county or citizen whose worth Ia manly IN
slaves pays not half the tax Of county OF citlzeh

NEGRO VOTING.

distant correspondent writes to learn what is
the fact as to Blacks voting in our State We
alswer-f negro owns $3.50 worth of real es
tate, free and clear of ncumbrance, he can vote
the same as W hite man; if not, he has no right
of suffrage "that White men are bound to respect.
We regard this discrimination rs simply afro
cious. If Property Qualification is right, it
ought to be imposed on all alike, not merely on
tn, Sc who have the least property and the wOrst
chance to obtain it, if negro has no soal, and no
pot cal status but that of q thing, his owning
pie of dirt carnot rightfully give him any. In any
Light, the present rule is wrong and indeienslbe.
We shall have chance this Fall TO vote down
this anomaly, and We ought to do it, Let US abol.
ish the Property Qualification, and give the Poor
Blacks an equal chance at the polls with their
richer brethren. They are but handful anyhow,
and cannot do much harm if they try. We shalt
have institutional Convention IN 1866 if not
sooner and then decide whether Black men shall
vote at all or not, according to the light meantime
vouchsafed us. Let lis kick the Property Quihh-
cation overheard any how; and now is the time.

AGRARIANlaJI.

This is an awful word. The knees of many
knock together when they hear it uttered. Thou
sands who reverence Moses as a Divine Lawgiyer
and Prophet would be amazed as well as shocked
BY the assurance that he was an AgrariaD; yet he
WAS in the fullest sense of that much abused, most
misapprehended term. Other rulers and teachers
have talked A rarianism; he made it living verify.
But none are so blind as those who will not see.
