Let it not be inferred that we are in
favor of enfranchising everybody, every
Where, at once, and without distinction
or qualification. So far from that, we
have no idea of disturbing the restrictions
in our Naturalization Laws, or in the laws
defining the qualifications OF an elector.
These restrictions are based on the idea
that the new conner should be qualified
before becoming an elector, and that a
too sudden admission to the polls is fraught
with evils These laws are for the white
man. Its principle we would apply to the
colored man, here and elsewhere. In
Pennsy lvania, we contend, his period Of
probation has been protracted long enough
We know him to be as we'll qualified as
the average, and far better than many
who are voters under the laws. Our idea
of free and equal suffrage ignores not the
idea Of fitness, bat is based on it, both
as to the white and black man. We
claim the exclusive right in Pennsylya-
MIA to regulate this matter for ourselves,
and concede to the other States the same
right We deny the right of another
State to dictate to us as to white men,
and can claim no right to dictate to 9th.

duty to perform in Pennsylvania, and
it becomes US to do it before prescribing

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.
LETTER TO HIS COUSIN.
REPLY OF PRINCE NAPOLEON.

NEW YORK, June IL.
The following is the letter OF the EN-
peror Napoleon to his cousin
Monster and Dear Cousin:-
| cannot refrain from informing you of
the painful impression have expeerien!
ced on reading your speech at Ajaccio.-
In leaving you, during my absence with
the Emperess and my son ,as President Of
the Privy Council, meant to give you
proof of my confidence; and I hoped
that your presence, your conduct, and
your language would testify to the union
which reigns in our family; but the DO.
litical programme which you place under
the arms of the Emperor can easily lead
the enemies of my Government to judg-
ments which | cannot admit. You add
sentiments of hatred which belong no
longer to our day go" -
To apply the ideas of the Emperor to
the present time it is necessary to have
passed through the stern trials Of respon-
slbility and power; and, besides, are we
really capable, pigmies as we are, of ap-
preciating all its just value--the grand
historical figure Of Napoleon as in stand
ing before colossal statue? We are un-
able to view the whole at once; we only
see the side which strikes our sight, hence
the incompleteness Of the reproduction
and the divergence Of opinions. But
what is clear to the eyes of every one is,
that to prevent anarchy in mems minds
that formidable enemy of true liberty, the
Emperor had established in his family,
and Afterwards in his Government that
severe discipline, which admitted but one
will and one action / cannot hence
forth devitae from the same rule Of con-
duct Whereon, monsieur and dear cou-
sin, / pray God to have you in his holy
keeping. y
(Signed,) NAPOLEON.
Prince Napoleon lost no time in max :
ing reply to the imperial censor
The Pressc was exclusively favored WITH
the document The Princes reply was
Sire, in consequence of your Majesty )
letter of May @3d and its publication in
the Moniter Of this morning, l resign
the Vice Presidency of the Privy Coun-
ell, and also the Presidency OF the Uni
yerSal Exhibition of 1867. Accept, Sire,

full attachment with which am Of your
Majesty's most devoted cousin. "

How the South Regards it.

The Macon Telegraph, Of May 30th,
contains an article, which deals squarely
with the question "what shall the South
do with the emancipated slaves ?" tar
gpes that the question cannot be Stunned,
but must be dealt with. Here is sin,
gle quotation:
Hence. we say, the States have got to
take up this business, and in Georgis, this
great and knotty question stares us in the
iace--hoW are we going to prevent half
million emancipated negroes from be-
ing vagrants and ppblic burdens, loung-
ing about in towns and neighborhoods
and spreading moral and physical disease
among the people? How are we going
to make them, instead, useful members
Of society-good Understandable,
well-fed and happy, as they we're before
the emancipation To look at the ques-
ton in its private as well as public as
pect, how are you, Mr.. Planter, to prose-
cute your labors with freedmen instead
ofslaves-maintain discipline and eff
cheney neighborhood order and security,
suppress vagrancy around you-protect
property, secure the comfort and well be-
ing of your laborers, and enforce justice
and order among themselves = Now
these are the great questions we should
be thinking and talking over; and de-
pend upon it we have got to seize them
ourselves, and upon their solution hangs
the question of beggary or comfort, pros
perity or ruin for the State Of Georgia,
and for yourselves aud ourselves. Talk
about Yankees" 1t is time We were all
Yankees, ifby the term is meantashrewd,
energetic and indomitablc encounter with
difficulties. Tell US about "Abolitionists !"
We are all abolitionists by force ofevents
by the stern logic Of war.
The Telegraph thereupon exhorts the
Southern people to dismiss their "sulky
bickeriug," bury tn. dead past, and ad-
dress themselves to facts as they find
them. 1t concludes thus
Accept the inevitable fiat Of the pow
ers that be, and cooperate With the Gov
ernment to remedy the mischief as much
as possible Come one, come all, to this
work. Now our politics will have some
marrow in them. Now our future As
semblymen will settle questions and DIFF
ficulties affecting the veal of every house
hold. Now we must cease 10 elect rep
resentatives per force of whiskey and to-
bacco. New we have got to think and
to work, and to do both wisely.
The South, it must be confessed, man
ifests as much readiness to act dispassion-
ately as could be expected, considering
everything. Probably no community ev-
er went through revolution 50 complete
or sudden as the South brought upon it.
self. In the game it played it lost all
even its own identity. 1t would be un-
reasonable to expect the South to come
more cheerfully into the new state OF
things. 1t is worthy of being noted, that
everything like force, and desperate re-
sistanee haszliAppeared and it is TO be
admitted that as much progress has been
made in cancellations and reconstruction
as could have been expected IN reason.
