Henry S. Foote on Negro Suffrage

Henry S. Foote has written long let
ter to Hon A. O. p Nicholson on the
question of Negro suffrage. 1t is pub
lished entire in the Montreal papers.
Mr.. Foote declares that slavery is dead,
and its future revival impossible As late
as last December, if proper counsels had
prevailed, the South might have made
terms with the National Government upon
the basis of gradual emancipation, uni
versal amnesty and reasonable compensa-
ton to owners of slaves. The opportuni-
ty was lost, " We have been compelled
to surrender at discratiQn."
In relation to the duty of the South in
enfranchising the freedmen he says:
We must, in order to assure our return
to liberty and happiness not only recog-
nize the colored denizens of The South as
now free, but we must allow them the
same means of preserving their freedom
that we ourselves desire to possess. They
must be freedmen in fact as we'll as in
name. We must consent to their being
invested with the elective franchise; and
this must be DONE too, no matter what
cherished notiohs We may entertain in re-
gard to the mental inferiority of those
whom some of us have heretofore regard
ed as the doomed posterity of Ham,
Nor can we now safely talk about carry
ing them through course of special tu-
telage and probation such as understand
you to recommend, ere we make them our
own equals before the law Of the land
These are not at all matters for our regu-
lation, but we are to be attended to by
those who hold in their hands exclusive
ly the sword and the purse of the ma
tion. | tell you, my dear Sir, and, thro'
yeu, wish to urge upon the whole mass
of my fellow -countrymen of the South,
that those things must be done by us, else
our States will not be allowed to have
Represeh tatives and Senators in Congress
or even be permitted, without molestation,
to administer their own municipal con-
Germs.
He states the reasons why the Northern
people require it to be done, thus
The people of the North are not will
ing TO trust us of the South with the ex-
elusive control of this affair, because they
believe, and We cannot possibly convince
them to the contrary, that, should they
permit US 10 become represented again in
the two Houses of the Federal Congress,
before we shall have carried into opera
tion fully the arrangements which they
have heretofore stipulated in behalf Of
the colored race, we should aiterward
either openly resist the execution of the
compact or at least attempt to evade its
provisions and some inprudent move

Labor at the South.

There is no surplus of Labor at the
South-far from it. Southern staples
never before commanded such prices in
peace as they do now and they arc GER
tain to be high for the next eighteen
months, and probably much longer, And,
as half the arabic land in the South now
lies fallow, apd can be bought very cheap
ly, Labor ought to be in great demand
there and to be well paid. And the la
borers are there, willing to work, if only
assured of fair wages, good treatment,
and honest payment. Industry at the
South remains disorganiZed and Produc-
tion deficient, mainly because the late
Shareholders, in too many instances, are
not reconcied to the idea of paying ne
groes for work as they would pay Whites.
They still cling to the hope that Slavery
in essence, if not in name-may some
how be restored. In proof of this, we
extract the following from the leading
editorial of the Memphis argus of the
20 inst.-N T. Tribune:
"The number Of free laborers lost to
the country in the Southern States, in
consequence of the rebellion, is very great;
besides, there has been no emigration
whatever for four years or more, and idle
ness and dissoluteness have grown to an
alarming hight among all classes. 1t will
be impossible for the white population al
ready in this country to become at once
active and jealous laborers, though we
have no doubt, it may and will do so in
time; for we altogether reject the theory
that the white man cannot labor in the
malarious regions of the cotton States,
though we are willing to admit that he
may not be SO well qualified for this kind
of labor as the black. Emigration has
never yet done much to increase the pop
ulation of the South, but should its prin-
cipal flow change to that direction i. you'd
take years for it to produce a visible eff
feet upon its industrial resources. 1t is
necessary, therefore, that much of the
labor to develop the resources of the
Southern States, if that development is to
happen very soon, should come from some
other quarter than its own flee white pop
ulation or emigration. Where else then
are we to look hut to the strong, healthy
blacks already in our midst, whose num-
Der comprises nearly third of our whole
population, and whose capacity for labor
is not excelled by any people on the face
of the earth ? These people are among
us, and they have not the means Of going
elsewhere if they desired to, nor have we

Traitors and their Boots.

The treason of Benedict Arnold
was discovered in the boot of MajoS
Andre, and it was the same appen-
dage that enabled the troopers of Col.
Pritchard to detect Jeff. DaYis under
the petticoats of his wife; but we
hove nowhere seen t stated that
Aaron Burr was captured under al
most similar circumstances, and that
but for the shape and appearance Of
his boots he might have contriyed ia
escape. We extract from Patrons
"Life of Burr" page 413, as follows;
"On cold evening in February
two young LAWYERS were playing
backgammon in cabin of the village
of Wakefield, Washington Co., Ala,
The hour of ten arrived, and they
were still absorbed in the game, when
the distant tramp of horses arrested
their attention. Two travellers rode
up to the door, one of whom, without
dismounting, inquired for the tavern,
1t was pointed out to him. lie then
asked the road to Hinson's, a noted
resident of the vicinity. One of the
lawyers, Perkins by name, replied
that the house was seven miles dis
tant, and the roads exceedingly diff
cult to find, and there was q danger
Gus creek to be crossed.
"While he was explaining the road
the light of their pine wood fire fash
ed occasionally upon the countenance
of the travellers who had asked the
questions. Perkins gazed upon the
face as though it fascinated him.
The eyes of the stranger sparkled
like diamonds, as he sat composed
and erect upon supurb horse, better
caparisoned than was usual in the
wilderness. His dress was the rude
homespun of the country, but the
quick eye of Perkins observed that
his boots were far too elegantly sha7
ped, and of materials much too fine,
to accord with the coarse, ill-cut pan
falcons, from which they protuded." ="
The travellers rode on. Perkins sus-
picions were aroused. The striking
features of the man whom he had
conyersed, the incongruity of his dress
bis superior air, the lateness of the
hour for the stranger to be abroad in
a region so wild and unknown, all
confirmed the Impression which had
been left on his mind. Rushing into
the cabin, he exclaimed:
"That is Aaron Burri I have
read description of him in the proc
lamation. | cannot be mistaken
Let us follow him to Hinson's and
take measures for his arrest.
ellis companion, not so easily
moved, ridiculed the project of pur-
suing traveller at so late an hour
merely on a conjecture, and, in short
refused to go. But Perkins, not de-
tered from his purpose, hastened to
a neighboring cabin, reused the sher-
if of the county, and told him the
story. In a few minutes the two
men we're equipped, and rode off at a
rapid pace through the pine woods"
And upon the information given,
Burr and his companions were subse-
quently arrested, -'

BUTLER BUTLER COUNTY, PA WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 16 1865

ments which have recently occurred IN
the South have greatly tended, | fear, to
aggravate this unfortunate feeling of dis
trust. Moreover, the people Of the North
are almost the exclusive holders OF the
bonds which represent the vast debt
which has grown out of the prosecution
of the war, and they are apprehensive
that if the exercise of the elective fran
chise is limited to the white population of
the South, the whole voting power of our
section may be hereafter welded in favor
of repudiating that debt. We shall never
be able TO satisfy them that this debt will
be safe without the counterpoise of negro
suffrage.
He has no doubt of the success of the
new system of labor in the South, nor
does he think that any injury can arise
from extending the elective franchise to
both races alike. Southern plantations
will be as prosperous under the new as
they were under the old agricultural sys-
TEN. He is decidedly of opinion that
there will be as little fraud in elections
hereafter as there was formerly, and as
judicious an exercise of suffrage Since
it is a fixed fact that the negroes must be
free, sit will be far better to make friends,
and neighbors and brethren of them, than
to retain them in our midst as Pariahs or
Helotes."
Our true interest lies in assimilating
onr whole Southern population in politi-
cal rights, in sentiment, in mental cul-
ture, in a just and affectionate neighbor
ship, and in true and loyal brotherhood.
We have to deal with a race whom we
knew to be mildly affeutioned, docile, and
readily subject to all high and command
ing influences, and it will be greatly our
own fault if we do not get along with
them in the relation now in process of in
stitution far better than we ever did be-
fore.
He intimates the duty of the South to
be sincere in their regard for the Nation
al Government in the following reference
to the present relations of Canadian peo,
pie:
" Before | conclude, permit me to say
that here in this beautiful city, | daily
and hourly witness the friendly associa-
tion, personal and official, of gentlemen
who less than twenty years ago were ar
rayed against each other in political
contest, aggravated into actual war. This
happy effect has been produced by the
patriotic submission of the defeated Ca
madam insurgents, and the liberal and
christian policy of the Government,
which not only granted a general amnes-
ty, but generously remunerated even "de-
nounced rebels" for losses incurred in the
conflict. What glorious example for
the emulation of our country p

the question is What viii you do with

By reason of your rebellion you have
impaired no right of the United States,
but you have sadly changed your posi-
ton and standing with that government.
Under the law defining treason and
providing for its nishment, without
the clemency of the President, unable to
take any step or do or perform any act

The former State Government having
been overthrown by rebellion and the
citizens generally laboring under such
disabilities as to render them powerless

the President "what is to be done p
The Constitution of the United States
declares that 'the United States shall
guarantee to every State a Republican

There being no Government (State) in
