Is il necessary to address any argument to
our friends on this subject, What possible
argument can be made The law of Connect
cut allows any man native born or resident
during the proper period of naturalization, who
sustains good moral character and is able to
read any section Of the State or National Con-
stitution, to vote. Against this law We have no
objection The franchise should be in the hands
Df pure mon. and therefore we like the restric-
ion implied in a good moral character. The
franchise should be in the hands Of intelligent
men, and 50 we make no objection to the test
IF reading. But Connecticut goes further, and
declares that because a man is not white
,itizen, even if he possesses all those qualifca.
ions, he has no right to vote. He becomes as
.liens fools, men of immoral character He
nay have the intelligence of Douglass the

A Copperhead writer insists that the Colored
troops shall be removed from the South. He
tells us that there are abundance of white
soldiers for this duty men who will act as gem
tlemen, not as sayages and outlaws" In the first
place, we have yet to hear of any body of men
acting as savages and outlaws; and in the second
place, in creating black soldiers, We follow an
example Endorsed by such men as Davis and
Lee. If the black was good enough to fight
against the Union, he is certainly good enough
to fight for it. To say that black troops are
savages and outlaws is to reflect severely upon
the officers in command.

Because the negro is a small part of the popu-
lation. not one-fftieth of the whites, the pre-
dominant race has kept them in a bondage
next to slavery. All hope of advancement is
closed TO the black man. lie may plough and
sow. barter and sell, and answer every demand
of citizenship, but there he ends. In the eyes
of the law he is thing, to obey aud work
and drill and fight and pay taxeS-put no
ballot. He has no more to do with making lhe
laws than in framing the enactments oil the
Modes and Persians. This is the tyranny OF an
unthinking majority, and it must come to an
end. II is a stain upon the name OF that State,
and we appeal to our friends to be vlsilant
when the election comes and see that the full
vote is polled. Connecticut Is not so Tar out Oh
Egypt that she can afford to neglect the pre-
caution necessary to success. The preJudice
against the negro exists, and is represented by
strong and INSCRIPTIONS political organi2a'
ton. If they defeat this measure the moral ell
feet will be dreadful. We shall be asked by
the Southerners why we wish to compel them
to do justice to the negro when one Of our own
States refuses that same justice, and every
Copperhead will shout over detection in New.
England. Therefore we plead for vigilance and
energy. We plead not merely for the 2,2oi
dsfranchiseI men in Connecticut but for thou
sands elsewhere, whose chains will be riyeted
tighter if we in the North fail to show the
proper examples. Friends of freedom in our
sister State, do your duty, and see that Connec'
ticut is not found wanting. Let New-Engand
at least be unit against every form Of
Slavery.

Some of the Richmond people who recently
were compelled to borrow national flag from
the military authorities when they held what
they called loyal meeting, are fretting about
"the Radicals" and make all manner Of loyal
suggestions about depriving the aforesaid Radi-
Gals of power. If these men want to be so
superservceably loyal, we would advise them
to begin by buying flag.
