Quota O.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, !
WAsAINeroN, February 8, 1865.
HIS Exceilency, Governor Smith
Complaint is made to me, by Yer.
mont, that the assignment Of her quota
for the Draft en- the pending call is in
trinsically unjust, and also in bad faith of
the Governments promise to fairly allow
credits for men previously furnished
To illustrate, supposed case is stated,
as follows
Vermont and New Hampshire must
between them, furnish coo men on the
pending call, and, being equals, each
must furnish ms many rs the other in the
long run. But the Government finds
thar, on former calls, Vermont furnished
a surplus Of 500 and New Hampshire
surplus OF I.5UU--ihese Two SURPRISES.
masking 1000. are added to the 5000.
making 5000, to be furnished by the
two S ates, or 1000 each. less 10y fair
credits. Then subtract Vernont's sur
pins Of 500 from her 1000, leaves $500
as her quota on the petding call and
likewise subtract New Hampshire's sur
plus oe l.5O0 from her 1000, leaves
$500 as her quota on the pending call.
These $500 aud $500 make precisely
the 1000 which the supposed case re-
qnires from the two States and it il
just. equal. for Vermont to furnish 1000
moro now than New Hampshire, because
New Hampshire has heretofore furnish
ed 1000 more than Vermont, which
equaliz-s the burthens Of the two in the
long run. Aud this result, so far from
being bad faith to Vermont, is in'lispen
sable to keeping good faith with New
Hampshire. By no other result can The
5000 men be obtained from the two
States, and, at the same time deal Justly
and keep faith with both; and we do but
confuse ourselves in questioning the pro
cess by which the right result was reach
ed
The supposed case is perfect as an il
lnstrati"n. The pending call is not for
100000 men subject TO fair crelits, bu:
is foI 100000 remaining after all fs ,
credits have been deducted anil it j,
impossible to concede what Vermont
wants without ing out short Of the
800 900 men, or making other localities
pay for the partislity shown her.
/
Yours truly.

1t Is said by some that the freedmen must not
be allowed to vote because unscurpuous southern
whites could control their votes for evil purposes.
Upon this We remark
/. The truth Of this opinion may well be
doubted. Whatever other information may have
been withheld from these benighted minds, We
dare affirm that years Of suffering have taught
them whom to trust and support. What II We
hazard the opinion that not q few OF these unedu-
Gated but keen-sighted freedmen, could enlighten
many Of us upon the politics and politicians OF
the South. All through this war, which has
" brought to light the hidden things Of Darkness"
they have shown O shrewd discrimination, an al
most startling perception of right from wrong, OF
friend from foe, together with marvellous fidelity
to principles in preference to men. And nov
that the letters have been broken from their limbs.
and they are protected by the strongest Govern
ment, what considerations shall induce them 10
surrender their votes to the manpuations OF their
former oppressersP
2. viii not the evil dssig1s Of southern whites
be as efiectually promoted BY Withholding, as by
their controlling the votes Of the freedmen we
are clear in the conviction that negro suffrage
imperaliyeiy needed TO thwart the purposes Of
! the very men whose influence we so needlessly
dread. And because it would be against them,
are these men its btterest opponents
g. Granting that the votes OF large proper.
ton OF the ignorant and ssrvle blacks can be 90
readily perverted what shall we say Of that class
of southern freedmen whose intelligence not only
insures the independence Of their own ballot, and
whose virtue is a pledge of their purity, but whoss
personal influence will 90 far to counteract the
intrigues OF their political opponenup Neither
must we forget to count the votes Of northern
colored men, who, by position, education and Bit
ter experience, are equally removed from the
Vaccinations Of southern politicians and their
northern sympathizers.
4 Should any error occur 10 the first election,
the issues involved are so momentous to the
freedmen, that self interest, il not selfpreserva-
ton, would soon force them to look to the issues
of their ballots, and to maintain their future in
tegrily.
g. Are there not many, both white and coored,
North and South, who would speedily and SUM-
centIy enlighten the masses OF uneducated blacks
upon the respective merits OF measures and men
If the elective franchise is withheld from the
cooreG man upon such grounds, with what con-
sistency is it conferred upon white men, both
North and South, who are equally ignorant, or
who, even when enlightened, are absolutely en-
sayed by personal influence, by party preJudicss,
by eccestica bigotry, il not by baser consldsra-
tionsp
But, after all, this is mere side-issue-a quss-
tionable opinion OF oyer.cautous men-and We
do insist that the colored man has right to vote,
whether he allows that vote TO be perverted or
not and we claim that the expedency OF accord
