What NEGRO Suffrage Means.

Negro suffrage, which the Radicals are de-
termined TO foist upon the South, means this:
The election Of some twenty negro members OF
Congress. The election Of negro Governors
in some of the States The election of hun
,iretls of negro county officers. II means the
Africanizalion of the Soutn. the creation of
several Haytls, with whom the white North Is
10 fralernize This could not be preven ted
A contemporary, the Albany (N. " Argus,
thus nresents the facts, from the census Of S60
I'm twelve of the slave States, embracing
eight hundred and eighty-six counties, there is
in two hundred and forty -four Of them an ex-
cess of negro population
alabama contains flty-two counties, in
twenty of which there is an excess of negro
population.
Arkansas has ffty-fve counties, with an ex-
cess of negro population in six.
"Florida has twenty-one counties with an ex-
cess of negro population in six.
Georgia has one hundred and thirtY-two
counties, with an excess of negro population in
forty three.
Louisiana has forty-eight counties, with an
excess of negro population in thirty-three.
maryland has twenty-five counties, with
an excess of negro population in five.
mississippi has sixty counties, with an ex-
cess ofnegro population in thirty y-one.
''North Carolina has eighty-seven counties,
with an excess of negro population in twenty.
Tennessee has seventy-fve counties, with
an excess of negro population in three
'sTexas has one hundred and ffty-one coun-
ties, with an excess of negro population in
thirteen
"Virginia has one hundred and forty coun-
ties, with an excess of negro population in for
ty-four.
This would give the negroes majority IN
the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina. Tn these three States they could E.
lect negroes enough to control the Legislatures,
and elect six negroes 10 the United States Sen
ate. and three or four times that number Of
Representatives to Congress, In all the South
cru States they could send negroes to the State
Legislatures, and in ;wo hundred and forty
four counties control the local officers"
/ We are TO have the Virginia and South Car
/ oEna of Cutfee and Sambo, instead OF the Nlr-
| ginia of Washington and Jefferson, and tht
Sonth Carolina of Sumter and Marion. The
element of African barbarism is to be incor'
porated into our political system, and we arr
! 10 sink down into the condition of the degener'
/ ate countries of South America, where they
have tried, to its fullest extent, this fusion o.
the races This is the programme the white peo
! pie of the North are invited TO sanction and ap
! prove at the ballot.

ican calendar Although / cannot meet you IN
person, hope that you will permit me to e1-
press the intense Joy and pride with which, IN
common with all Americans, look upon the
recent glorious successes of our gallant armies
under Grant and Sherman.
As these victories have finally crushed the
armed opposition to the General Government,
and have brought back the whole OF the nation
al domain under the folds of our flag, trust
that this anniversary of the nations birthday
will be the opening of new era IN our history
when brotherly love will once again preVah
between the people Of the once contendlng sec
tions-when all the causes of the late war shall
have disappeared-when the idea OF secession
shall be regarded as thing entirely OF the past
never again to be revived, and during which
we shall become stronger, more united ana
more prosperous nation than ever before
most sincerely unite with you in the feel
ings of sorrow and indignation which have been
so universally expressed for the cowardy muir
der which deprived the country OF ITS Chlef
Magistrate, and in the desire to afford the most
| loyal support TO bis successor. l trust, too,
| that you will unite with me in the hope that,
+ since we have completely vindicated our nation
al strength and military honor by the entire de-
! feat and ruin of our late enemies, our people
will pursue magnanimous and mercltul course
! towards n fallen foe--one that will tend to sot-
ten the bitter feeling inevitably caused by along
and earnest war, and TO restore the confidence
and kind feeling that should exist between those
| who owe allegiance to the same government
and belong to the same people.
Begging that you will convey to the commit
tee, and to the gentlemen they represent, my
sincere thanks for their very courteous invita-
tion, ! am, my dear sir, very truly and respect
| fully Yours. GEO b. Mcclellan.

The Enemies of Peace.

The war is over. The effort 10 establish
e Southern Confederacy has failed. The
people of the South, with unanimity that
ia most creditabIe to their character, express
themselves willing to return to their ale
glance TO the Constitution. But, though
men cry "Peace.' "Peace" there is no
peace. In the South newspapers are sup
pressed for making the most trivial criti-
eisns upon the conduct Of federal officers;
Mayors Of cities are removed for sending q
vagrant negro TO the lookup: elections are
declared null and void, because those elect

More than it Seems.

The people Of this country should not de-
ceive themselves. Negro Suffrage as proposed
by New England Abolitionism means more
than the simple fact Of comforting the right TO
vote upon the ebony fraternity. 1t means to
PLACE them with you on the ury, beside you at
the table, along with you IN bed--to make
them your father-in-law, your brother-in-aw,
your son-in-law, your uncle, your aunt, your
niece, your nephew-your equal in everything
and your superior in patriotism, blackness and
scent. 1t don't mean to stop when you have
marched up to the polls beside big black con-
90 and deposited your ballot, but yOu must take
him to your hoEte, have your wife wait upon
him, let him kiss your sister, stay with your
aughter-marry her if he wants to, and raise
any amount Of tan.colored grand children.
Negro suffrage is but means of enforcing the
detestable doctrine of miScegenation. In it is
covered up all the hideousness of amagamation.
It is loaded with the foetid breath OF mongrel-
ism, and carries with il the putrid;ty that will
blot from earth the white race OF this continent.
Where is the man that has any respect for him
self--for his family or his country, that can
favor such an infamous doctrinef Yet there is
party--a party that controls the legislation
of the country-a party that sprung from the
witch burning-quaker hanging-blue light
puritans of New England, that is now seeking
to implant it in the public mind. Where it is
strong enough to have no fear of defeat-in
such states as Massachusetts,, Vermont, New
Hampshire and Iowa, ii is made plank in
their political platform. Here in Pennsylvania,
where their hope of carrying the State has al
most died out, it is only limited at-vaguely
approached in order TO feel, and not startle the
public mind. The negro suffrage plank in their
platform in this state, will be covered up with
vcrbosity that will render it capable of doz-
en- different constructions, yet il will neVerthe-
less mean ''negro suffrage'-and analgamation
with all their horrd results And if the white
men Of the State are in favor of those they will
vote the abolition ticket at the next election. -

Don't Put it off.

Hundreds of Republicans" agree with Dem
ocrats, that negro suffrage wonid be dangerous
to the propriety Of the Republic; but they
put off their opposition to it to "a more
convenient season." If they are honest in OPP
posing the political equalization of the races,
they cannot consistently adhere any longer
TO the Abolition organization. Although the
party with which they have hitherto acted,
may not venture TO endorse negro suffrage in
its platforms, its leaders are nearly all in favor
of it and openly advocate it. Therefore, if
they should be successful at the polls, they
will claim that the people have decided in fa-
yor of giving the negro the right to vote and
will renew their pressure upon the President
TO compel him 10 take ground in favor of this
new political heresy. Hence. we say, if you
would preserve the White Mans government,
begin the work now. If you wait till The Abb
oltion party have fully shown their hand, you
viii have waited till the game is lost, or won.
Don't put of your warfare against tins iniqui-
tous scheme. "What thou doest, do quickly

What would YOU think Of hun?

Suppose, dear reader. that one who by his
conduct had induced you to believe him your
friend, that, so regarding him you took him in
to your family circle, formed intimate associa-
tions with him, stood by his side at the table
Of the Lord, in short, rendered him the fidelity
of loving heart, and then, suppose that thls
man, without provocation on your part, with
out any outward rupture of the friendship be-
tween you, would strive 10 ruin your good
name, TO bring your neck into halter. in brief
would nose around in every dark hole and cor
ler to smell out witnesses 10 prove you acces-
sary to crime of which he knows you TO be
innocent, what would you think of him? Is
there any wortin oil the vocabulary Of infer
nal names, that is not too mild to be applied to
