PRESIDENT LINCOLN on NEGRO
SUFFRAGE.

In an article Indifference TO the
policy Of President johnson, last
week, We said We did not know what
President LincOln's position on this
subject would have been, had he
lived Since then we have endeav-
ored TO ascertain what his views
were, and we give our readers tie
result OF orr investigation. As early
rs March, 1864. Mr.. Lincoln adj
dressed the following letter to the
Hon Michael Hahn, the newly elect
cd Governor of Louisiana:
ExEcurivr MaNsfox.
WssHIvGToS. March Is, 1861

probably help in some irving time 10 come,
TO keep the Jewel OF liberty in the family OF
freedom. Bet this IS only suggestion,
not to the public, but 10 you alone.
Yours truly. a LINCOLN.
Here, then, is suggestion offered
to Governor Hahn, which ripened in
to public declaration, in response
to the congratulations of the citizens
OF Washington over the fall CT Rich

ization of Louisiana he said: 1T is

in al abstract sense, is right, and viii
