Universal Suffrage.

This subject is engrossing the attention of
the American people as much if not more
than any other at the present day. The most
profound orators are engaged in making
speeches, aud the ablest journalists are writing
articles upon this proposition. Some of them
arefor carrying this idea to the extreme, while
others accept it only 10 modified form.
We have heretofore expressed ourselves upon
this subject. In this article we lay before our
readers some of our reasons which govern our
action in the premises. 1t is useless to say
that We have been for the preserving the glo-
rious Union, and for adopting such measures
as are calculated to aid in her onward march
to future greatness. We believe that we have
the best government in the world-the proud
est and greatest the sun ever shone upon
IN consequence of which. out of every ordeal
through which she is called to pass leaves her
greater still. But nations. like individuals, are
liable to err. In gigantic efforts to promote
the welfare of the people to overleap the prop.
er sphere, for The time being. We do not be
lieve that this Government will adopt uni.
versal suffrage" but If it should the end will
be detrimental TO the best interest of the coun.
try instead of redounding to its prosperity as
many suppose.
For instance, adopt negro suffrage in the
South, it would only strengthen Southern rep
resentation and Southern aristocracy. ANY
one who has ever travelled through the South
eru States or resided among the Southern peo-
pie of color, can fully appreciate this fact
Any man who has land and is able to work
FIVE hundred hands. can at any election cast so
many votes. Doubtless many Northern men
will purchase real estate in the South and be.
come large planters but they will not be there
five years before many are as bad ii not worse
aristocrats than those born and raised there.
We are glad that the accursed sin of slavery
is wiped from the proud escutcheon of America.
That the traffic in the souls and bodies of men
and women have ceased on Columbia S fair and
beautiful shores but we are not prepared to
admit to the full enjoyment of all the rights
and privileges OF an American citizen, a class
of people who are incapable of elfgoyern-
ment. We are not yet prepared to say what
Is the best and most correct disposition to
make with this unfortunate class of people.
The God of battles who raised up Abraham
Lincoln and General Grant as their liberators
will no doubt open up proper sphere for
them and country assigned them with proper
rulers.
We are IN favor of afording them faci-
ties for education, Christianity and industry.
Let them learn to know themselves the re-.
sponsibiity they are under to Government
and to their Maker. The time may come when
they can be admitted to the ballot with re.
strictions, to some advantage TO the country
without doing injustice to them.

Mr.. Marvin informs the citizens that slavery
is dead and can not be resuscitated, But he
does not, like some of his colleagues, re-
appoint the loyal officers who ofiiciated un-
der rebel rule, although the old county
incumbehts are authorized to still act in
matters pertaining TO the administration of
estates, the recording of deeds and suehin-
hispensable business. Until the regular
civil government shall haye been restored,
the Govefabr. leaves to the military to pre-
serve order and take cognizance Of its
