brave lrishmen in terms of respectf If
fighting is TO be The standard, surely those
brave minors who entered the service
should he given the elective franchise, and
are as likely to know the principles OF this
goyernme nt as these brutalized negroes.
But who are the advocates of this new
crusade against the established principles
of our government? Besides New Eng>-
land Aboliliousls and disunionists, we have
British emssares, delegates from Exeter
Hall. brought here TO teach Americans the
true principles OF liberty-men who
"Wnh golden brbe and treacherous smile,
Sow the vile seeds OF rank pollution;
And with their reptile slime dehle
The temple Of oar Constitution"
They demand, as the price of their favor.
that we give The right of suffrage 10 our
ignorant negroes, while, according TO john
Brigh;'s statement, out of 10000 full
grown Engl shmen thorough canvass
would show only, 1000, 900 oil voiers-a
disfranchisement of 6,ooo,oUo. We want
no teaching or teachers from abroad. Now
that we have conquered our enemy they
make proffers of friendship, yet while the
contest was doubtful they supplied him
with arms, money and ships. These aris-
locrats who prale Of equality refuse to asso
ciale with their own while operatives, and
would make the negro the equal OF the
poor white man, while themselves despls-
inc The latter Look al the Abolition States,
where the negro has the right of suffrage,
Of holding Office and The like. In order 10
force an unnatural equality they have pass
ed laws imposing heavy penalties on rail-
roads, theatres, holsls, aud the like which
make any Determinations as TO color But
observe The unfairnes OF these miscreants
IN endeavoring 10 fasten their doctrines up
on the people oi o'her States. They well
know that the mass of the negro race
would avoid their bleak shores. In Yer
mont in 1860, there were only eighty col
ored voters and in New Hampshire $50
But how is it in Pennsylvania The en-
tire coIored population North in 1850 was
226 coo, OF which Pennsy lvania had 81 OOe,
over one-fourth OF the enure number. Or
greatly increased, because, according 10
Kennedy, Superintendent Of The Census
Bureau the increase is greater in Penn
sylyanla than any other free Siats
Now, let Us compare our white aud black
populations in localities where they enjoy
eqaal advantages. The census shows that
where out of 10 COO whites there would be
one convict, out of tie same number ol
blacks there would be nineteen. In Penn
svIvania the blacks are but ono-h!iieih oi
our popuIssion, YET one-lhird of our conVic's
are blacks In This Stale we have an aver
age of / white convict in every 4,243
whites and black convict in $50 blacks -
In Massachusetts, that land OF pieiy and
sudliness, they have only black in l2s
persons yel have one black convict IN -
Notwithstanding this terrible record, We
have a party IN orr midst who would AfrI-
cspize the whole South, who would place
the ballot in the hands OF men far more is-
moran, and debased thar The Northern negro.
They would place their own race under the
domination OF an inferior one aud agaInsl
rhsir consent Let us glance again at the
statistics Ii 1861 the negroes had ma
iority IN 253 counlies-uearly oae Ihlrd-oi
the S,uth, which number is now increased
by the loss of The Souiherners in battle and
by exclusion in municipal affairs Tor having
engaged ia The rebellion. They have a
small majority in Louisiana; OF 80 coo IN
Mississippi, and OF 12l 600 in South Caro-
lima. This would give them United States
Senators, about Is Congressmen, and place
the white race in many other localities
comp pletely under their control. Besides
their political elevation, they would wreak
yengance upon their former masters, in
cited TO it by fanatics OF The North and the
terrible scenes of San Domingo would be
re-enacted in our own midst Look al The
example in Mexico, 10 South America,
where the doctrine ot negro equality is IN
10 dominale over the whites and support
tyrannical rulers in their offices. Why, one
of The leading Generals of Ecuador Is
negro, yet married an accom- pushed white
lady of Panama What DO figures show ut
there! Ia The Stale of Panama seven-ten,hs
ol the children are ilegitimsie, and in one
de eparlment, out of /, 100 people, there were
to be found only married couples.
To illustrate the subject further: let me
read you a letter written by Senator Buc&a
lew, in 1858, from Quito, South America,
which Ilook The liberty OF copying, while
acting as his private Secretary. Al the time
he was Minister Resident in that country,
had ample opportunities Tor observation,
aud wro,e at a lime when his miut could
have had no bias, as he occupied an inde-
pendent position from which he viewed
