Negro Suffrage.
EDITORS OF THE REGISTER:

EDITORS OF THE REGISTER:
By perusal of the press, aud from
several sources, 1 find that the negro SUI
frage mania is prevailing to an alarming
extent. Now / propose to show that ne
gro suffrage would be dangerous expe-
riment. In making ourselves acquaint-
ed with the condition OF tile negro in his
native country, We find that he never
had republican, nor a. representative
form Of government, butt that he lived
in condition far worse than American
slavery. Now if the neg 70 never knew
anything about free government in his
native country, ! ask, would it not be
very dangerous experiment to extend
to him the right of suffrage? The negro
race are people too stupid, too easily
guiied and led by the pose to take part
in the regulation OF our governmental
affairs. But says Beecher, Phelps OF
some other fanatic, 1.-The negroes are now
free and must have the ballot as means
of protection against the usurpa5ion of
the whites" Thou fool dost thou not
know that the negroes would vote them
selves and tle whites both to destruc-
ton in less than a half century! Give
the negro his vote, aud the southern fire
eater, ana the notheIn fanatic will make
their votes subservient to any kind of
demagogueism they please
Besides giving the negro his vote being
a dangerous thing You entirely change
tho principle OF our government, SO far
as the elective franchise is concerned.
The trainers of the constitution and
laws of our different States, surely never
had suck a thing as negro suffrage in con-
temptation. In the more ancient days
of our Republic if you would read an
election proclamation from Sheriff you
would find it addressed to pkite males
over the age of 81 years According to
this new tangled doctrine, it would be
addressed to negroes also. Would you
debar the American Indians from vot-
ing2 Surely they have as much right
1t is said that "Humbug w. Beecher"
has lately come out in favor of the cleo
tive franchise being extended to the fe-
male. So far as female voting is concern
ed, have nothing to say, only that l
beehive they would vote against negro
suffrage.
Ii we as people ever lose our repub-
lean form of government, it will he by
following in the footsteps of an iunovat-
ing set of charlatans.
Now in conclusion say if we are to
have negro suffrage, let us forever dis
card the names of such men rs Washing

q In repnbiican governments constitr
t;ous are ordained Is curb the power OF
the majority just ss ina limited monarchy
M constitntion curts the power Of the
king Without this check upon kingly
mower the monarch would be absolute,
his win would be the only law and the
lives and property of his subjects would
be completely at his disposal. So in .
republic, without q written constitution,
the temporary majority would exercise
supreme power over the persons and prop
0erty of the minority and might, IN obe'
dienoe to the passions of the moment or
in order to perpetuate their power de-
prive their fellow citizens of life or prop
erty or political rights The government
whose only law is the will Of single in
diyidual is called edespotism, and the
same term fifty describes a republic in
which there is no check upon the power
of the majority. .7oil p. ( u p. z
If a written constitution exists but is
disregarded and trampled under foot,
the effect is the same as if no constitu-
ton was in existence at all. If it consti-
tutes no check upon the power of the
majority it has failed to fulfil the object
of its creation, and, under the forms of
liberty, despotism rears its head. e.
In our Federal and State Governments,
the constitutions are the supreme au-
thorities; we know no higher law
There has been a faction that claimed to
be guided by higher law than the con-
stitution, and there is still party that
places an enactment of the Legislature
higher than the constitution Of the
State. Such theory is full of danger to
the liberties Of the people and the en-
forcement of such a law is no less than
despotism itself. The test oath law
passed at the last session of the Legisla-
ture is plainly in violation of the con-
stitution of tho State No man can read
both without being convinced of the fact
that they, are at variance with each
other. 2 Tho constitution declares that
certain men shall be entitled to vote; the
test oath law says that certain men, not
excluded by the constitution, shall not be
entitled to vote No amount OF legal
sophistry can remove the discrepancy, OF
prove that the constitution and the law
agree. The conflict is too palpable,
glaring and apparent to be covered over
by aay legal subtiety or disguised by
any form of words The constitution
aud the law cannot be reconeiled with
out doing violence to reason and ordi-
nary com mon sense:
And vet there are men In this State
who claim that that law should he obeyed..
eau any man who has sworn to obey the
constitution do that which the constitu-
ton forbids Can any officer who has
sworn to exact only such qualifications
of voters as the constitution prescribes,
exact other qualifications without violat-
ing his oath If this rule prevails, the
constitution of the State is set at naught,
aud there is no barrier to protect the
people from any excess of tyranny which
The majority in the Legislature may see
fit to impose. If the constitution may he
