UNDER tho Constitution of the United
States, as it now stands, free negroes are
counted the same as white men in fixing the
basis of representation in Congress. Thus
the negroes Of the South are put upon an
equality with Northern white men by virtue
cf the Constitution. Then come in the State
Constitutions OF the South, and exclude the
loyal black men from casting the votes as
signed for them under the Constitution Of the
United States, and give that power to the
traitor whites. Hence, while the Constitu-
tion Of the United States recognizes the po-
litical equality of Southern negroes and North
ern white men, for the benefit OF the South
ern aristocracy, it permits that aristocracy
got only to repudiate the principle in its prac-
tical application to the South, but actually to
make one Southern traitor equal 70 two
Northern loyal men.
We of the North must have a remedy for
this, either by carrying into practical opera
ton in the South the principle of the Consti-
tuticn of the United States, which makes all
free men equal IN night ef representation, OF
else by amending the Constitutions aud EAsing
representation in Congress and in the Presi-
dental election on the number Of voters in
stead Of the entire free population, white and
black.

The only soldiers ticket now in the field in
Muscatine county, is the Republican ticket.
The Democracy. after all their professions oi
love for the soldiers have met in solemn con-
clave and deliberately thrown overheard the
few soldiers who were willing to run ON their

or grain cf principle can. consistently act
with such party now. 1t stiil claims TO b.
the same Democratic party which for four
years opposed the war and last year resolved
that it was ''fallure." II is the same party
which wherever it had the power, disfranchis-
ed the soldiers and 'tput them on an equality

EuRorEAS AxBIrIos.--Two Oh three of the
powers of Europe seem TO desire exclusive
control of the work of governing the entire
human family. Besides her vast and popu-
lous colonial possessions in different parts of
the world, from Australia to Canada, Eng
land governs nearly one-fifth of mankind in
the East Indies. France has lately extended
her power 10 Mexico on the cne hand and in
Cochin China on the other; and there are both
British and French statesmen and political
writer's who are strongly in favor of the exten-
sion of the Franco English or Anglo French
rule over China proper. Russia forever ex-
tending her territories and enlarging the pop
ulations under her sway and is actively intrig-
ming both in Turkey and Persia. The other
two Of the great European Powers, Austria
sad Prussia, have no especial aspirations out
side Of Europe.
The Unitad States have never had anything
to say about the ambitious conquests of these
three European Powers. Any one or two Of
them might set up dominions by force Of arms
in ChiHa, a,-after which these three govern
ments would r1le three-fourths of the human
receive should not interfere in the matter.
If We ever should have occasion to check the
career of ambition and conquest of any Of
them, it will most likely be on this continent.
