signs or the Future Seen In the Con.
necticut Election.
The fate of the old abolitionists- now
revolutionary negrophobists -may be seen
in the Connecticut election. A new con-
sentative element has arisen in the country,
which will effeetually put down the agitat-
ing politicians. The million of men who
have preserved the Union by their arms
will cement it by their votes. The patri-
otism and good osmmoa sense of these
million of military voters will be potent in
shaping and controlling the futuae destiny
of the country. They have conquered the
secessionists, one dangerous faction, by
the sword, and they win now destroy the
other, the old radical abolitiorists, by their
votes. They are the nucleus and strength
of the party of the future-the conserva-
tive-restoration Andy JOHNSON party. Let
the old factions end politicians stand aside;
for this new movement advances with rail-
road speed, threatening their annihilstion.

y.s General Marshall had sense
Enough to Learn by ExPeri-
ence?

General MARSHALL seems to think that
because he got commission from Radi-
Gal Governor, and was, according to bis
own account, q most remarkable soldier,
beating in skill and bravery all the Off
GERS who happened to be near him on the
field of battle, that therefore all the SOL
diers who carried muskets ought to vote
for him.
We grant that as warrior he may, as
judging from his battlefield letters, he
seems himself to believe, stand or ride
head and shoulders above all his compan-
ions in arms, but measuring bis capacity
az civilian, we are compelled to regard
him as very small pattern. We will not
question his integrity, nor intimate for a
moment that he does not believe in the
negro suffrage policies which he advo-
Gates; but We call attention to this fact
that he had IS good chance to form cor
rect opinions on the negro suffrage ques-
ton, when at the South, as the less-famed
soldiers who carried the musket. They
return almost unanimously opposed to ne
gro suffrage.
Has Gen. MARSHALL no respect for
their opinions on this subjecta Does he
consider that they are all set of igno-
rsmuses or foolss That they are all
wrong, and that he and a few other politi-
cal appointments in the army, are the only
soldiers who have sense enough to form
correct opinions on negro questions?
dt seems to us that Gen. MARsHAIL's
estimate of his own judgement, must be
very high, equal to that of bis military
prewess; or be would not venture to Get
up his opinions on the negro suffrage
question at the South, against the almost
unanimous Judgment and decisions of the
officers and soldiers of the Union armies,
many of whom left home imbued with
radical ideas, but returned cured and con-
Servative.
The fact that MARSHALL learnt nothing
down South-except that he beat every
body in the fighting line-and returned
home as wild and fanatical radical as
he went, is sufficient proof that he is not
capable of learning, as most fools usually
do learn, from experience.
If General MARSHALL had been blessed
with the average common sense of the
soldiers be commanded, he would have
changed his opinions on the negro ques-
tionss and now like them be opposed to
negro suffrage. As it is, they cannot re-
spect his judgment or consider him fit for
any important civil Office, wherein good
sense, political knowledge or practical
craftsmanship are essential requisites.
Such is the Office of Governor of Mime
sofa, for which MARSHALL is manifestly
unft, and for which bis opponent possesses
combination of qualifications rarely
found united in one mon.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF Fore,v,
-. Ciaixens.

The leaders Of the Republican party in
Minnesota frankly confess that the neu,o
amendment will be defeated, Thew do not
expect half their own party will vote sor
1t, and therefore they are compelled to ra.
gard the scheme as ga dead cock in the
pit" But they console themselves. and
smooth their path of humiliation, bv de-
olaring that the negro suffrage amendment
is not what they really wanted and tbat
next winter they will frame an amendment
that more nearly accords with their vievs
on the general question of suffrage. The
proposed amendment, which they will en-
deavor to carry next year, is what is called
the intelligence qualification that az.
cludes all who cannot read and write the
English language from the polls, thus dis
franchising large numbers Of German
Swedish, Norwegian and Irish citizens. he.
cause they have not had the opportunity
or the inclination to acquire
foreign tongue. This amendment is an
of1shoot of the Know Nothing organiza-
ton in Massachusetts,, and was adopted in
that State for the express and avowed
purpose of keeping foreigners away from
the polls. The determination of the Re-
publican leaders to have something of this
kind in operation in Minnesota, can be
proved beyond question, and we warn cit
liens of foreign birth, of all the various
nationalities, without respect to political
opinions, that the old Know Nothing
spirit is still rampant, and will sooner or
later cOntrive scheme to disfranchise
every man who cannot speak, read and
write the English language. The negro
question, and most of the other issues
growing out Of the war, will soon be dis
posed of, and the crusade against foreign
ers, and their habits and customs, will be
recommended.

The True Doctrine.

The Chicago Post, sprightiy new pa
per, independent, but with Republican
proclivities, alleges that the idea of fore
ing negro suffrage on the South is purely
partisan one, and that the Tribune, Of
that city, is doing everything it possibly
can to disrupt the Republican party, by
its foolish persistence in making this q
prominent plank in the Republican plat
form. The Post adds:
one that viii infict more harm than good upon
the negro population If inconsiderately and
rashly pressed at the present juncture.
Thoughtful men everywhere are coming to the
conclusion that while the late emancipated
slaves, in consideration of the commend
able valor they have exhibited in the
late war, should be fully secured in the enjoy
ment Of their newly-acquired personal rights,
and their testimony be received as valid in
courts OF law, it is neither wise nor statesman
like, for the sake of subscribing mere party
ends, to extend the important right of sui
frage to multitude whe are no more capable
OF exercising it intelligently than the cattle of
the fields. The negro who has suffered for a
century past the most abject bondage, should
at least De required 10 go through probation
ary state of instruction and association with
freedmen before he is intrusted with SO great q
privilege. Those who consult his best inter-
ests will not place him in q position of radical
hostility towards his late white master, or stir
long standing prejudices into bitter and active
animosities. Sobriety, patience, industry and
docility. should characterize his present and
future conduct. These traits grated on free
labor will do more to elevate the Southern ne
gro to higher sphere than all the moonshine
theories or foolish partisan schemes thai selfish
politicians can invent.

Such are the questions and suggestions,

President JOHNSON hes answered the

he tells candidate MARSHALL and all his

Just as they are, in their condition of ig-
norsnoe and brutality, Is the only people
there to be trusted with the right of citi-

President JOHNSON isopposed tosll such
loyalty as that. He and MARSHALL are
not in accord. he regards the imposition
of negro suffrage on the South as danger
Gus, and as ruinous to the country. He
would rather trust these late rebels whom
MARSHALL would not trust, than to trust
MARSHALL, for they cooperate with nina
in carrying out his policy while MARSHALL
is opposed to it.
