Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1865-06-22

Abolitionists are now exeriing Gll their
power and influence to introduce negro
voting at the South in order to overcome
theDemocratic majority which they plainly
forsee in the future
But is it probable that the Abolition
party can control the negro vote Of the
South, provided the negroes are invested
with the right of suffrage? We think it
exceedingly doubtful for as we have al
ready intimatcd, tho principles Of the De.
mocratic party will be very likely to gov
crn the employers OF labor at the South
Those who imagine that there is to be
negro Paradise at the South, where the
negro will be an independent voter, acting
on high moral principle, unswoyed by
sordid aud worldly influences, arc destined
to be mistaken. If the issues of the future
were to be the old issues of the past, then
possibly there might be an array Of negroes
on the one side, all for one idea, against
slavery and Shareholders. But those issues
are gone by. The negroes of the South,
il allowed to vote, will be no purer and
no more "uninAuenced," than voters at
the North. On the contrary, they will,
OF necessity, vote as their employers vote,
and as long as they are a dependent race,
they will follow and not lead.
We throw out these suggestions for the
consideration Of those who are now labor
ing to introduce negro suffrage as n con-
trolling element in future elections. We
do not believe they will succeed, for the
simple reason that the public sentiment OF
the country is not prepared to submit to
such degradstion-to such nm entire and
thorough revolution of our social and po-
litical systems,
Our faith is that the principles of the
Democratic party will ultimately triumph
over all the forms and systems Of error
and fanaticism which have cursed the
country for the last four years, and that
good and conservative men OF all parties
will soon hail its mission as the only
means ofrestoring the government to the
proud eminence it heretofore and so long
occupied.
Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1865-06-22
Tho Future of the Democratic
Party

One OF the most prominent reasons
urged by the Aboltionists in favor of the
enfranchisement OF the negro. is that
their votes will be needed to control future
elections. This is significant admission
that the Democratic party is not dead.
We are aware that some people. during
the last two or three years have endeav-
ored to clay the aattering JUNCTION to their
souls" that the great Democratic organ
lzation, which , had so long and 30 pros
perously conducted our national affairs,
had ceased to exist in fact if not in name
The leaders OF the opposition, however,
have not been entirely deluded by this
iallacious idea. The Presidential election
last fall certainly showed no signs of even
weakness in the Democratic party. Their
defeat was not SO great as to give any
ground for the hope Of their future over
throw. On the contrary, the remarkable
fact stands out, that with the gigantic
powers welded by the Administration
party, with more than million voters
actually under the military control, or in
paid employ Of tho administration, the
Democratic party nevertheless poled very
nearly one half Of the entire vote of the
adhering States. This does not look like
dying or a dead political party. He will
count without his host who omits in the
reckoning of American affairs this very
important fact. ....
There is another fact TO be taken into
consideration. During the last four years,
opposition to the Democratic party has
been conducted on the principle that
Democrats were in sympathy with the
South. Suppose this were true, (which
we deny) what would be the Legitimate in.
ference ? The amnesty proclamation has
already restored to the right of voting men
enough in the South to swell the Demo-
cratic vote of the country to large ma.
iority over the Republican vote of last
fall for II is reasonable to suppose that
tho great mass Of the Southern people
will, when the Union is restored, as in
times past, vote the Democratic ticket.
And it is to meet this very idea that the
