what Negro Suffrage Means

Negro suffrage, which the Radicals are
determined TO foist upon the South, means
this The election of some twenty negro
Governors in some of the States The elec-
ton of hundreds of negro county officers. II
means the Africanization OF the South, the
creation of several Haytis, with whom the
white North is to fralernize This could not
be prevented a cotemporary, the Albany
New York, Argus, thus presents the facts.
rom the census of 1860: .. v"s ,.Hf
"Iu twelve Of the slave States, embracing
eight hundred and eighty-sX counties, there
is in two hundred and forty-four of them an
excess OF negro population
alabama contains fifty.two counties, in
twenty of which there is an excess of negro
population.
"Arkansas has 6ilyGve counties, with an
excess of negro population in six.
"Florida has twenty-one counties, with an
excess Of negro population in six.
Georgia has one hundred and thirty-two
counties, with an excess Of negro population
in forty-three
"Louisians has forty-eight counties, with
an excess Of negro population in thirty
three.
"Maryland has twenty-five counties, with
an excess of negro population in Eve
mississippi has sixty counties, with an ex'
cess of negro population in thrty-one.

Virginia has one hundred and and fLrty

"This would give the negroes majority in
the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina In these three States they could
elect negroes enough to control the Eegisa
lures, and elect six negroes to the United
States Senate, and three or four times thai
number of Representatives to Congress. II

The Journal asks us to reproduce its
articles in favor of negro suffrage. We
have no file of the Journal from which to
quote; but the fact that it did advocate
this doctrine until within day or two of
the publication of General Cox's letter, is
patent in this community. We will cheer
fully republish any editorials of the Journ-
al against negro suffrage, if it will tell us
where to find them.

Consent OF tho Coverned.' p

The cowardly Charles Summer wrote let.
ter to The niggers of Savannah, the 9th of
July last, in which he INDUCED in the mock
cry of saying: su 81
at is impossible TO suppose that Congress
Will sanction any government in the rebel
States which are not founded on the consent
Of the governed This is the corner stone
Of republican institutions"
If there is anything under heaven that
proves the base, heariless hypocrisy of such
men as Sumner, it is such declaration as
this. After waging a four years bloody and
atrocious war to overthrow and destroy this
"eorner stone of republican Institutions" now
this Massachusetts demagogue has the impu--
denee to talk about government 'founded on
the consent of the governed"
We are living to-day under the rule Of an
irresponsible oligarchy. And it is alarm
ing fIom the fact that there are public jour.
mails, claiming to be Constitutional Democrats,
who have the hardhood to put in defense
or an apology for this usurped domination.
They manifest laxity of political virtue
which warns us that irue Democracy aud Re
publicanism are rapidly dying in this country,
if not already dead, f-l
For the past four years we have seen little
hope for the salvation of our republican insti-
tutions and government. We see less now
than heretofore. Other may be hopeful but
the basis Of their hope is, to our view, as fall
Iscious as when they gave their endorsal and
support to the war four years ago. They then
put themselves in position wholly inoompat-
ible with the lifelong creed of Democracy

The Journal stiII "ExsrcIsed.' y

The Journal still "ENerCised.'
The Journal is very hard run or very
obtuse We quoted the Cleveland Leader
for purpose which was apparent to the
commonest understanding. The journal
had insisted upon our saying that General
Cox is opposed to negroIsuffrage. We
couldn't see it, ,'and produced the author
ity Of the Cleveland Leader as proof that
che had entirely failed to answer tho
question in regard to negro suffrage" pro-
pounded by the oberlin committee, viz t;
care you in favor Of modifying our Con-
stitution so as to give the elective franchise
to colored men % g..
We asked the same question, in sub
stance, of the journal. 1t, too, not only
evades, but persistently refuses to answer
the question so plainly and distinctly put
to it. Probably the Journal is waiting
for "the logic OF events" which means in
plain terms, when its party gets an easy
working majority in the Legislature o'
Ohio.
The journal is also very much distressed
that we should have stated that the Ober :
lin committee were colored gentlemen. II
they are not SO, in fact, we have been
misinformed. At all events, they are
the next thing toit- they think it an honor
to associate with the colored population,
and it is aeommon remark that the" dark
ness" about 0berlin is SO visible" that it
is necessary to keep the gas lighted in the
day time. Ii we are wrong, the Journal
can no doubt correct us, for 1T seems to
know all about the color Of the inhabitants
Of that delectable locality, whether from
information or contact, it is, not for us to
say. ..'. tgfi"
| The Journal has happy faculty Of
levading rugged issues" For some
time past we have been endeavoring to
cxtort from it an apology for its base and
unmerited slander upon General sherman,
but it stubbornly refuses to make one, 1t
Twill be Remembered that the journal
characterized his victory over the rebel
General johnson, as "ISheynaaa's shame
Sherman'S Surrender ~ This was vile
slander on one of the bravest and most
successful Generals of this or any other
country, and should be retracted immo-
diately. A poor apology would be better
than none at all and while You are max
ing it, don't forget to give us word on
the negro suffrage question in Ohio.
The Journal is the ostensible organ Of
the Abolition, party in this county, and
its editor is supposed to reflect the senti.
ments of the party here. The plea that
the Journal is public ''institution," and
its editor private one, is paltry subter.
Ifuge. II, like us, you are waiting until
General Cox answers the letters address
sed to him by the "boys in blue" say So
The "boys" are somewhat indignant that
Oberlin should have the precedence in the
Generals correspondence. But wo can
only give them the same advice we did

A GRAND OLD POEM.

Who shall judge man from manners
Who shail know him by his dress'
Paupers may be fit for princes.
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty Jacket
MAY beclothe the golden ore
of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Salin vests can do no moro.
There are springs Of crystal nectar
Ever yelling out Of stone.
There are purple buds and golden
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me.
While he.values thrones the highest, g.
Put as bubbles in the sea.
Nan appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellow then.
Masters, rulers, lords remember.
That YOUR meanest kinds are men,
Men by labor, and men by fame
Ginning equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobliDg name.
There are foam embroidered oceans.
There are little reed clad tills,
There are feeble, inch high saplings.
There are ccdars on the hills;
God who counts by souls not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me,
For, 10 him, all vain distinctions
Are ~ pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF nations wealth or fame
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same.
Bv the sweat of others foreheads
Living only to rejoice
Viii. he poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifled up its voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with lovelinesa and light,
Secret Wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is 4 sunny right;
God. whose world heard voice Is singine
Boundiess love TO you and me,
sinks oppression with its titles
A. tie pebbles Of the sea.
