Negro Suffrage.

IL will DO regarded as notable sign of
the times that tho New York Herald has
taken decided ground in favor of negro
suffrage. Tha. jsurnal has long laboreG
| for the suppression of Abolition agitation;
asd VIC think we may congratulate 1t upon
having at last bit upon a remedy which will
accomplish the coveted object. The Herald
says:
What VIC want now is o final settlement
with these dlsorganizing sectional factions
on the slavery question aud on tho negro
question. Tho war has killed Southern
slavery Let it be buried and put out of
the way as soon as possible. 1t ends the
slavery agitation. But there is yet some.
thing left for abolition capital in the negro
agitation. Against this demand that as
slavery is abolished. and that as th6!lkfrican
race have powerfully assisted US in putting
down tho rebellion and saving the life OF
the nation, they should have a share in.tho
20 itlcal right OF tho ballot box, what valid
objection can be made? We cannot long
resist this demand in view Of the extinc.
ton Of slavery and tho services of tho
Southern blacks during this war. With
every opportunity, aud in every way thev
have boen our faithful allies. We have
had 10000 of them in the service of tho
army and navy. Their battle of omancipa.
tion, involving four millions of their race.
has turned the scale in our favor, and we
must yield to tho sagacity of President Lin.
coins emancipation edicts. 1t is folly to
argue against established facts. We ad-
here to tho lights of experience and com.
mon sense. Hence we would say again to
President johnson that he has nothing
to fear in laboring to give the Southern
blacks The right of suffrage in the recon.
struction of the rebellious States. PoIiti-
cal negro exclusions looking to tho safety
OF negro Slavery, arc no longer necessary.
slavery being dead. Above all, we want to
see, not only the slavery question, but the
negro question, as a political hobby, per.
manontly settled, so that Northern and
Southern negro agitators may be siIenced,
in being deprived of the last parcel of their
stock in trade-negro suffrage in recon-
