Governor BrOugh-..The Demo
cratic Party indicated.

Correspondents of sundry Administra-
ton Journals throughout the State are
speaking of Governor BRoUGH in such Ian
guage as to confirm all that Democrats
said about him, when he was before the
people as candidate for the exalted Office
he now holds. What the Democratic press
then said about him was denied with indig-
nant scorn by his friends. Probably his
friends did not know the man then; and
therefore, they may be excusable for the
high eulogiums they pronounced upon him
in the past. BY theifpresent coursea-by
their allegation that Governor BRoUGH,
"vheneverran opportunity presented IT.
SELF" has shown ''disposition to reckless
extravaganza" and that they swami in the
Gubernatorial chair gentleman; man of
heart and sympathy with mankind; of un-
doubted truth and uablemished personal
character show that the Democratic
party did exactly right in opposing his
election; it, Furthermore, makes it palpable
that when the Democratic party opposes
the election of candidates to either high or
low offices, it becomes the duty Of the peo-
pie dispassionately to weigh their objec-
tions, and it furnishes most conclusive ar
gument why the people should not blindly
follow the leadsof the men who have of
ficiated as leaders in the Administration

Negro suffrage.

( The following, which we take from the
Jackson Standard, paper advocating ne
gro equality and the consequent degrada-
tion of white men, exhibits the tone and
spirit of the abolition press. 1t says:
ave all know how very near Sherman
was in succeeding inhis plan to secure slay-
cry more firmly than itexisted before the
rebellion. Freedom Tor all will never be
secure while there are rebels and copper
heads living. They must be Kept out Of po1o-
er. To this end negroes must be permitted d
cote, and traitors must be disfranchised."
With standing army composed mostly o.
negroes, and with negroes holding the bal
ance of poper at the ballot box, these grasp
ing, blood-thirsty fanatical politicians hope
to retain the poacer they have abused, though
they may be opposed and contemned by 8

Tie Rest6raiion of Civil Govern
htiemt I'm North Carolina.

President. JOHNSON has provided for the
restoration of civil Government In the State
of North Carolina. He has appointed a
provisional Governor, whose duty 1t is
made to institute the proper proceedings
to hold Convention to amend the State
Constitution so as topurge 1t of Its slavery
ism. The election for delegates to this
Convention is to be conducted conformably
to the present Constitution OF that state
and the laws in force Immediately preced-
ing the adoption of the ordinance OF Seces-
sion, and all men who are legally qualified
and who have taken the amnesty oath, shall
n be considered 'loyal" citizens and allowed
to vote. The President, in his proclamation
with reference to the restoration OF the civil
authority in North Carolina, says:
"The said Convention when convened, or
the Legislature that may thereafter assem-
ble will prescribe the qualifications of cleo
tors and the eligibility of persons to hold
office under the Constitution and laws OF
the State, poloer the people Of the secer1
! States con,posifigthe Federal Union haze right
ftRy exercised from the origin Of the Govern
nent TO the present time"
That settles the question of consolidation
definitely, and it pretty effectually settles
the question of colored, suffrage In the
South. For taking this position President
JOHNSON deserves the thanks of the Con-
servatives. 1t is complete reputation Of
doctrines Radicals in his own party have
. looked upon as vital. While it may be true
that he is not very much inclined to extend
clemency to the men who have occupied
the position of leaders in the Rebellion, 1t
seems equally clear that he is not disposed
to trench on legitimate State sovereignty
At all events, he has not given the influence
of his high position in favor OF the disfran-
chisement of the Southern white masses
and the enfranchisement of the blacks
That is subject he has left to the whites
themselves to dispose of as to them shall
appear best. He does not regard 1T with
regret that this is subject over which
the Constitution of the United States
does not permit him to exercise any con-
troll. Evidently, he looks upon 1t with sat-
isfaction; for he is particular to state that the
prescribing of the qualifications of elect
ors and the eligibility of persons to hold
office" is "a power the people of the sew
eral States composing the Federal Union
hare rtghthllly exercised from the origin OF
the Government to the present time." Nor
does he look upon it as material to the paci-
fication of the country and the prosperity of
the Union thatsuffrage should be conferred
upon the black man.

President .JOhnson's Amnesty
tBli prOcIamatiOu.'

President JOHNSON has at last given to
the public an Amnesty Proclamation. 1t is
fullyas liberal as we expected it would be;
but we think a little more liberality would
by no means have done the country any
injury. Slavery it wipes out, and excerpts
from Amnesty the civil and diplomatic Off
GERS of the pretended Confederate Govern
ment, the Judges who left official stations
to aid the Rebellion, all military or naval
officers above the rank of Colonel in the
army and above the rank of Lieutenant in
the navy, all who left seats in Congress to
aid the Rebellion, all who threw up COM
missions inthe United States army and ma
Wv to evade duty in suppressing the Rebel
lion, all who treated prisoners OF war taken
in the service of the United States unlaw-
fully. allwho have been absent from the
United States for the purpose of aiding
the Rebellion, all Rebel Governors,
ALL MILITARY and naval officers who
were in the rebel service who received their
education at West Point or in the United
States Naval Academy, all who left their
home within the jurisdiction and protec-
tion of the United States and went to the
assistance of the Rebels in the so-called
Confederate States, all who deprecated on
the commerce of the United States on the
high SEAS all who have made raids into the
United States from Canada, or been en-
gagged in destroying the commerce of the
United States upon the lakes and rivers
that separate the provinces from the United
States, all who are in military, naval or
civil confinement or custody, or under
bonds of authorities or agents of the United
States as prisoners of War, or persons de-
tanned for offenses of any kind. either be-
fore or after conviction, all who have an
estimated taxable property of over $4,000,
and an who have taken the oath prescribed
by the-Amnesty Proclamation of Dec. s,
1868, or an oath of allegiance to the Govern
ment Of the United States since the date of
said Proclamation. ~
The number of persons who are thus ex-
cepted from the benefits of the Amnesty
Proclamation seem exceedingly large; and,
therefore, on this account the Proclama-
tion might Justly be obnoxious to serious
objection, were it not that the President
appends a proviso under which he holds
himself ever ready to literally extend par
don and clemency to any person belong
ing toSthe excepted classes, ''as may be
consistent with the facts of the case and the
peace and dignity of the United States,"
upon making special application to him for
the same. 1t will, doubtless, be claimed,
and with some force, that the President in
tends to avail himself of this opportunity
to establish for himself reputation for al
most unbounded clemency. If, however,
he were animated by any such motive,
would he not have established that sort of
reputation by proclaiming far more
general amnesty than be has proclaimed?-
AS yet it can not be said of him, by way OF
reproach, that he has shown too much Glenn
