Question of Negro Suffrage.

d. The Hon. Winfield Smith. Attorney
General Of the State, in his Grafton at Mon
roe on the 4th euunciated the following
sound doctrine on the question of negro suf
frage II
1.-The freedom of the negroes cannot be
maintained unless you give them the ballo
to defend it. How else can they shield
themselves from oppressive laws, nay, from
a return to the very servitude which we
have nominally abolished Can we, dare
we, after these fearful visions of the light
nings of Gods wrath, permit to exist the
least jot or little of the monster crime which
has so .scourged us Have we not suffered
enough i?
What ingratitude would stamp such a
course! What faithlessness We have
asked these negroes to aid us in the ire
mendous struggle which their conternners
assured us we could not go through with.
They flew to our aid, and together we con
quered. Is it honest, is it decent, now to
cast them out as unworthy of our fellowship?
In the fight. we were proud of their stall
wart arms, we rejoiced in the thunder of
their guns.-,Ile victory now won shall
we coidly turn our back upon them, nav.
strip them and deliver them bound INTO
their adversaries :? | tell you, we prove
ourselves unworthy of success, if we use it
so. We are less than the equals of the
black man if after such trials, we will not
concede to him equality such equality |
mean as will let him be all that nature
made him, degraded by none Of our devices
free to ex' rise his intellect. to improve his
race, to work out the destiny which God
has designed for him. If suffrage be denied
him because he is ignorant, / am content
provided all others who are no less ignorant,
will also waive it. We have abundant tes.
timnoy how small would be the poll lists in
the southern states if only those who are
botn educated and loyal should he allowed
to vote. And here, in this Boosting North.
you and I,my friends have too often seen yo
tiers in herds with tickets which they could
not read led to the support of measures which
they. would have rejected had they under
stood them.
deem it certain, then, that the black
man ought to vote in the Southern States
for his sake for our sake for eternal Justice,
sake"

What DID he Leave!
BY T. 8. ARTHUR.

''That's large funeral. I counted thirty
two carriages
Yes sir. tits the funeral Of Mr.. Ellis He
iiedvery rich" sA.t
'How much did he leave?' si.
"A large amount of money, sir: den,t
know how much. Some say half million
OF dollars i a.a 1852 a1t ~
His death is considered great loss to
the community, | presume .ss
Loss, sir!' .,,.
The man to whom was speaking looked
up i'll my face with the air of one whose
mind was not exactly clear as to my mean
ng. t..
Still with his ample means said even
though only caring for himself he must
have been the promoter of large industrial
enterprises through which many were great
y benefited
The man shook bis head doubtfully
what did he do with his moneys?
1 never heard of his doing anything
with it particularly, was the unsatisfactory
answer
Money must be used in order to make it
productive. Was he in no BUSINESS?
No SIR
what then did he do with himself?'
oh he was always about after bits of
property that had to be sold. He was sharp
Tor bargains in real estate
'Ah 1 see how it was. Then he did find
use for his moneys?
In that way lie did. But when piece
OF property came into his hands, there vas
IN end to its improvement. He let other
)eople improve all around him and thus
increase the value Of what he owned; so
that he grew richer every day, without
putting his hand to anything or beneftting
nybody.' a
That was your million man. And so all
that he has to leave are those property accu-
mulations?'
Af
Then his death is not regarded as
public calamity 2"
:No. indeed, sir! 1t is considered pub
tic benefit"
''How so ?" s-
He has couple of SONS and couple
of SOUS law, who scatter much faster than
he saved. The moment they come in pos
session Of his estate it will be divided, aud
lots of ground, which ought to have been
improved years ago, will be sold and Gov
cred with handsome buildings, thus giving
trade and industry a new impulse. Why,
sir, he has been a dead weight upon our
town, growing richer and richer through
other peoples enterprise-and yet not ad
ding building himself, or in any other
way serving the common good"
Il thought" said |, from the long ar
ray of carriages that death had taken, in
this instance, valuable and now lamented
citizen"
Mere ostentation, sir. But nobody is
deceived. There are plenty of idle people
who are pleased to ride in funeral carriages.
Old Ellis will be put away with grand
flourish but that will be the last of him.
The black will do the mourning, sir"
