GENERAL CAss.-This venerable statesman
in reply to an invitation to attend meeting
of the Democracy of Washington county =,
Pennsylvania, makes use the following sig.
nificant language:
g. have to look with as much solcitude
upon the action of the Democratic party in
its primary meetings as for the result of tho
conflict at arms, for the reason that it is now
clear that the perpetuity Of our present form
of Government rests on the patriotism, intel
ligence, forbearance and consistent course Of
action by the Demouratc party. The Jaco.
bins and radicals who are the leading spirits
of the political party in power seem quite a.
intent ON destroying our civil rights as in
whipping the rebels into subjeclion. 1t is
our duty to insist on the preservation intact
of the form Of government established in l 7sO
and that the territorial limits of the nation
shall never be diminished. To attain this
end we must see that the government is no,
allowed to fal! to peices. We must hold the
executive agents of the Government to their
duty, and keep them in their duty until va
can, by the means of the ballot.box, put in
their stead those who will administer the
Government as it was framed by our ances.

NUMBER 81.
NEGBO SUFFRAGE.

The following specimen of mendacious Of.
frontery is. from the Sacramento Bee, one of
the recognized organs Of the abolition party:
The secesh editors are telling their read
ers that if the republicans carry the next
Legislature they will pass a law extending
the elective franchise to negroes. 1t is
wasting breath to notice this lying assertion,
because no living body knows what laws will
be enacted next winter; and if the Union
party have the majority, which they will,
everybody ought to know that such bill
would not receive single vote. The cop,
perhead editors had better make some other
use Of their brains than coucoctiug such fool,
ish tales.
This in the face Of the fact that number
OF the members OF the Legislature, Of the so,
called Union party, declared in their places
last winter that they were in favor of negro
suffrage, and voted for the negro testimony
bill as the "beginning of justice to the ne.
gro;" and the fact that Attorney General
Bates decided that Americans of African de.
scent were entitled to the rights of citizenship
and to pre-empt public lands-a right reser.
we'd exclusively to citizens. If negroes have
a right to bear arms in defense of the coun.
try, they have right to all the privileges
which the country offers to its citizens. To
accept the services of the negroes in the ar.
mics, and then deny them a voice in the gov
ernment maintained by their blood, would
be an act of ingratitude and meanness Of
which the Republican party alone could he
guilty. Why, the very base and superstruc'
ture of the Republican organization is "ne
gro equality" Remove that and their whole
fabric falls to- the ground. Admit the infe.
riority of the negroes and you admit the right
of the superior race to hold them in ward,
like idiots and mbecles, or any other class
incapable of self fgovernment, and all argu.
ments against our system of slavery as NOR
al wrong, fails. The Republican party from
its organization has held that the declaration
that all men are created equal" was in d.
rect with the system of African bondage, and
their chief arguments have been based upon
that view. If they were right, then there is
no good reason why the negro should be OK.
cluded from any of the rights of a citizen.
If they did not mean this, they obtained pow
er under false prelences and held out hopes
to the negro which they intended to disap,
point.
With negro ministers from Hayt and Ii
IBERIA, on terms of diplomatic equality at
Washington; with negroes admitted to the
public lands by virtue of their rights as citi-
zens of the United States with negro officers
severa1y bearing the commissions of the
President or of State Executives with negro
soldiers in the field fighting in defence Of the
government; no future event is more certain
than that a negro party, whenever assured Of
their ability to maintain the measure, will
fasten upon us negro suffrage, their disclaim-
er to the contrary notwithstanding. They
have denied and desclaim at every step they
have taken, and yet we see the whole plan in
due course of consummation, near its culmi-
nation in hybrid government.

choosing her distance mile or two sea
ward, at point where she will be, so far
as possible, exposed to the Ere of no other
fort or battery. Let her keep under way,
