Democratic Papers ON Negro Suffrage.
The New York papers are discussing the
expcdiency of comforting the right of suf-
| frage upon the freedmen of South. The
World says
If, after order and stability are restored in
| the South, the Southern people shall see fit
| to admit the freedmen to a participation in
the elective franchise, it may be wise and
polite for them to do so. But this is mat
ter of which they are the exclusive Judges.
As question of State policy it is one of the
very first magnitude. We are of opinion
that the nesct generation Of negroes toW ca
dses haze the Suffrage or perturb the State
IF the negro population of the South were
as small in proportion as that of the north
ern States the question might be decided
either way without peril to the public tran
guilty. In different Northern States it has
been decided variously, and there Is nothing
an the face Of society to sh0lc that one mode
of deciding Il as no jltst as good as another.
In some of the Northern States we have
universal negro suffrage; in others, negro
suffrage with a property qualification; in
others, no negro suffrage at all. Our negro
population is so insignificant that all these
methods are equally and perfectly safe. But
in some of the Southern States the negroes
approximate in numbers to the whites We
do not believe that, in such States the col
ored population, when possessing freedom
and the means of education, can be perqna-
ncatly ercFuded from the electsve franchise.
The Herald says:
The exclusion of free negroes from the
right Of suffrage is a necessity of negro sla-
very, but where slavery does not exist there
Is no such necessity: Give the emancipated
negroes of the rebel States, then, in the re-
construction Of those States, the right to
vote along with the whites. There need be
no fear that this concession win lead to me-
gro social equality. Negroes vote in New
York and there is no approach to negro So
cial equality. Society viii take care of it
self in the matter, as it does in everything
else affecting its peace and harmony.

FILLER, CESSNA AND

The Union Republican meeting called for
,a Tuesday night was one of the most en-

utmost capacity We are sorry that we
an only give the briefest synopsis of its pro-

fairs attending Court

aardence, Sergt. E. Y. Imler Bedford
s7uship and Capt. S. B. Tate, Bloody Run.
IN response to loud calls Gen. VIM. H.
Ioontz came forward and made most bril-
mt and beautiful speech which was listened
With the most marked attention. Col. J.
Filler followed in most characteristic
I'd scathing review Of the course of the Cop
shead party during the war, which elected
greatest meriment and plaudits from the
mense audience. Mr.. Cessna was then
lled out with an approbative demonstra-
on unsurpassed by any we have ever seen
wen him heretofore. His speech was one of
happiest efforts and was listened to with
rsat enthusiasm and earnestness. Mr.. Hall
ss then called out at late hour and made
ne of his neat and forcible speeches which
as received with much pleasure.
The resolutions of the State Convention
ere then adopted, and the meeting adjourn
with three rousing cheers for the Union
publican ticket.

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
IGNS OF LONG EARS
Amusing scenes.
CONTRADICTORY SPEECHES.


lasby's Programme to be followed.
The customary Democratic meeting came
of on Monday evening. Curiosity to hear
what the so-called Democracy had to say for
themselves, since the war has not proved a
failure, led a number of Union men to the
meeting, sufficient to swell ii to respectable
siineHsions. The first speaker on the stand
pa: remarkable specimen of the genus homo
bearing the military title of Col. lit is only a
'niiia title-the Col has never risked his
precious carcass in his eountry's service. J
lle two things uppermost in his mind, were
ia the necessity of proclaiming his own ped
gse. and second the Reputation of the ma
nal debt. (The Col. was not so green as
support the Government by investing his
fafe cash in government bonds.)
Next came the bland, sleek, corpulent,
aai-clerical candidate, who was not elected
resident Judge last fall. His speech was
rked by his usual sophistry; he objected to
gudiation, butfavored the preliminary step OF
Eng Government bonds and breaking faith
1.-THE creditors of the Government. (He had
identity unwittingly invested somewhat in
vernment bonds and wanted little time
get them off his hands before repudiating- }
'aTng probably in view the very Democratic
ecedent of r. NJ. johnson, once Vice Pres
mt ofthe United States, the speaker seem
70 be in deadly fear that himself and fol-
Ters might suddenly find themselves trans
fned into practical amalgamationists. We
ally felt sorry for the Judge and his follow
ION account of their peculiar weakness in
'a direction, but not being numbered
aong the counsellors of the party, we could
'le' them no consolation though their case
''s evidently getting desperate.
lAe Great Mogul, of the Democracy in this
''aly, came next, with denial of having op
'asd the amendment allowing soldiers to
we, or having in any way whatever inter
,''a with the soldier vote, he said nothing
'ol' turning his gun northward, nor of con-
-''aonS scruples against paying bounties to
.''u'erS' lie seemed utterly obllvlous of
iormer deeds and professions-per
Aought such matters would be of no inter-

A CLEAR CONSCIENCE. How bravely a
man can walk the earth, bear the heaviest
burdens, perform the severest duties, and
look all men square in the face, if he only
bears in his breast clear conscience, void Of
offence toward God and man. There is no
spring, no spur, no inspiration like this; to
feel that we have omitted no task, and left
no obligations untitled, this fills the heart
with satisfaction, and the soul with strength.
