Negro Suffrage.

Two negroes arrived here last week from
New Orleans on their way 10 Washington
TO wait upon Lincoln TO petition nim TO
grant the right OF suffrage TO the negroes of
Louisiana A certain Col, McKaye, in a
speech in New Orleans, urged that a dele
CATION OF this character be semi, and gave II
as his opinion that before the close OF the
present session of Congress its petition
would be granted! We do not realizs the
immense distance we have drifted away
from the constitutional government of 1888,
until such an idea as Lincoln taking upon
himself 10 decree who shall have the right
OF suffrage pithin STATE, is practically pre-
senied to our mind. Language is altogether
inadequate to describe the outTages upon
justice and even common decency which
the present party in power daily perperate,
and unless a writer brings 10 bear all the
adjectives in the dictionary in every article
he pens, he fails TO give even conception
of the monstrous vilIainies constantly occur
ring. The attempt 10 force upon the people
OF the Sonlh, negro suffrage is one oil these
things. There is scarcely doubt but il
will be ate mpted in utter defiance of all
laws and all constitutions. In fact, II must
come TO that, for their is no other logical
termination TO Back RepubIicansm. In
deed, that does not complete the full meas
ure OF it's inquiiy. The finale is amalga-
nation OF blood, and the person who does
see that this is The natural and inevitable
termination of the first step in Abolition
has not mind enough 10 connect cause with
effect Those who admit The premise Cf
Aboltionism and suppose they can escape
its consequences, will live to fnd them
selves terribly mistaken. No nation or
people that ever acted upon the theory oil
the equality the races, from the DAYS OF
the Carlhesenans 10 the Mexica1s, ever
escaped the disease, death, and final exunc-
lion which amalgamation inevitably brings
Let those who have not the courage 10 de-
fend the supremacy OF the white race, ac-
cept the Abolition theory that il is dead, bnt
no man who comprehends his duty as an
American citizen, will ever yield this
ground, for 10 do j: is 10 ignore his own
manhood.-N Y Day Book.

The Chase Circular.


We print this morning a synopsis of a
circular which has been largely distributed
through out the West by the friends of MIR.
Chase. lis strength is in its facts Every
candid man must admit that the one term"
principle has been virtually incorporated
into oar system of Government and that
there is an aimos, imperative necessity for
its enforcement at the present time Taking
Mr. Lincoln to be no better and no worse
than other men, II is obvious that the power
which be now wields may become vastly
dangerous 10 the country if he te allowed
to make use Of il to effect his own re-eiec-
ton. The patronage OF the Federal Gov
eminent has always been a source of alarm,
but when compared with that OF 10 day, the
amount, even in the time of the last Ad-
miuistration, is utterly Insignificant. When
B1f. Lincoln, therefore, undertakes 10 en-
ploy all the influence which, enormous
expenditures OF the Government give him
10 re-appoint himself, men of all parties
should recognize the danger the situation,
and unite ia resisting his schemes. Il is
enough that he commands million of SOL
diers, and controls the annual outlay of
thousand million of dollars, 70 satisfy every
erndent man that his re-eI eciion must be
prevented We're he as wise ard patriotic
as his most fulsome eulogist asserts him 10
be, il would still be hazardous in tie ex-
IRENE 10 permit him to retain his hold upon
power more despotic and limiiless than
that Of Emperor or Gar, but as this circular
proceeds to show, MIR. Lincoln has no per-
sonal claims upon the confidence of the
eonriry. Ilhas never been said Of him
that Che is not smuiiy joker but it has
been demonstrated tha he is utterly unfit
Tor his position, while The developments OF
The last few weeks prove that even his
honesty which has long been his sole
Recommendation, is not sufficient 10 restrain
him from sacrificing thousands of lives 10
Upon the score of fitness alone, therefore,
there could be no question as 10 The pro-
priety Of discarding Mr. Lincoln at once
and for ever, and if there can be foil and
fair discussion OF Mr.. Lincoln's claims we
have no doubt that this will be the unani-
nous conclusion Of his own party. In the
way of etieciiug so desirable consumma-
tion, no document has yet appeared equal
in value 10 this last circular from the
friends Of the Secretary of the Treasury,

their powerfo aid in iis circulation

The Draft.

"How are we to get clear OF the draft ~

of the people about this dreaded draft. The

AVOIDING THE URsFT.-How times and
Two years and halt ago the object OF life
seemed to be 10 get into the military service;
now the ways and means OF keeping out OF
il are eagerly sought. Then committees
from every county, and sometimes many
from the same couaty were beseeching the
authorities TO have their respective regi-
ments or companies accepted. Now com
mittees from every township, borough and
district, are either diligently searching the
rolls 10 prove that they have already filled
their quotas, or raising money TO purchase
recruits or pay their commulaion. Aud the
most fervent and effective appeal that can
be made 10 a mans heart or pocket, is to
s-avoid the draft" "Avoid the draft is
rung in your ears at every corner and reit-
Grated in every social knot il is piacarded
in bar-rooms and saloons, and posted on

patriotic orators. To "avoid the draft'i
seems 10 be the very sine qua non OF exis-
tence.
Fathers and sons and old bachelors too,
Are sweating their brains to know what
10 do,
But mid hope fear, and good deal OF craft,
They all seem bent on avoiding the draft.
And why 2 What has wrought this mar
