The New Republican Plank.

The right Of freed negroes to vote is the
new plank.in the Republican platform
Wendell Philips declares that .'this is lib.
]erty according to the Northern iuterpreta-
ton" George Thompson, the Englishman
from whom Republicans learn how Ame-
RIGA should be governed, says: 81 agree
with MIR. Philips that your Constitution
needs two amendments, one prohibiting
slavery throughout the Union, and anoth-
er torbidding the States to enact laws
which shall make any distinction among
their cltlzrns, on account of race or col
or desire 10 see the negro enfran-
chised, protected by the ballot, placed
upon footing of absolute civil and po
litical equality with the white man.
believe that this country is to be saved
through the negro, and for the negro. -
Frederick Douglass, maintaining the fit
ness of the present hour for insisting upon
: the right of the freed negroes to citizen
ship, says: "Tbis is the hour. Now is
the time to press this right" and VIII
liam Lloyd Garrison chimes in as follows
GLORY, Alleluia, Amen aud Amen"
Upon all the above the Independent com
NETS thus: owe think the above ex-
racts are good reading-hearty, good
tempered: sound and durable. IF any,
body differs with us in this opinion, let
him sponge away from his mind the stain
Iof old time prejudice against the excellent
men whose names we have quoted, and
whose good we trust, may now cease ito
be evil spoken off,
The Independent is certainly right in
demanding that the true leaders of the
Republican party, Philips, Thompson,
Harrison and Fred. Douglass, the men
whose ideas guide and rule it, shall have
|recognition for their rightful authority
They have always been one step in ad-
vance of the time Servers, the politicians
and the rank aud file of the party but
hese have never yet failed to keep step
with them and follow closely on. The
Times, for example, is just now splitting
on this plank as it used to spit upon the
Abolition plank, before it became the
most enthusiastic Abolition sheet Of all.
But it will have only its trouble for It's
pains, now as then. 1t must walk up to
/ he scratch and toe it within a very few
months, and Free Suffrage for the Free
Negro will be its future cry, as sure as the
sun rises and sets.
Indeed the Republican caucus which
was lately held at Washington made no
bones OF the matter 1t was there resolv-
led upon that the vote Of the freed negroes
IF the South was an absolute necessity to
the dwindling Republican party at the
North; that, with the negro vote secured,
ley could hold On to power for an inde6-
mite term of years, and, by keeping up
large military establishment after peace is
declared, hold down the whites of the
}Sonth, and retain secure hold at the
North on the contractors, manufacturers,
aud those who profit by the war expendi-
Stures.
Free Suffrage for Free Negroes. This

creed. Republicans! hear, and obey -
