There are certain topics which the New-Jersey
Democratic orators, with characteristic modeoty,
omit from their hafangues to tho returned SOL
diers. The soldiers naturally and justly feel a
pride in their services to.the country. If the
Democrats had had their way during the
last four years, they would have stopped tbe
war, and there would have been no country to
serve and save. While the New-Jersey
soldiers were fighting the Rebels, the
New-Jersey Democrats in Congress were
voting to refuse money to carry on the
war. They would have withheld all pay from
the soldiers and left their wives and children
at home to suffer and stare, rather than
see the Union cause succeed. Not satisfied
with that demonstration Of Their hatred, they
disfranchised the men who fought for the Stars
and Stripes If you ask Democratic orator
to-day why his party did that, he will tell you,
if he answers you frankly, that they knew that
the soldiers woull 1ot fight one way and vote
another. As they were fighting the Southern
Rebels, they would not be likely to vote for
the Northern Copperheads. So the Northern
Copperheads concluded it was better for them
the soldiers should not vote at all.
Mr.. -, we beg pardon, Gen. - Runyon
wants to be Governor now by help of
those same soldiers votes which be and his
party yould not allow to be cast during tho
war; If there was any more bitter opponent Of
the war, or any more unserupulous advocate Of
party measures against the soldiers, than he
was, We have not had the i'll fortune to meet
With him. Still, lie was not very prominent man,
and seems to have been nominated partly be-
cause lie had made himself less obnoxious than
ab'er men of the same party. But man
doesn't need to make great speech to prove
himself friend Of traitors. Even Runyon
talked n little from timo to time, and
got himself reported in newspapers scant
of matter. We find him in 1863 de.

A paper of St. Petersburg, in series ol
articles on the frightful incendiarism which Tor

OF the fires. II states that there Is great
probability that the fires were the work ol q

agents of the company, and often succeeded IN

They wish to act with the policy of the Govern
mont, which has power and Office, and az the
same time do not wish TO quarrel with tho
honest sense of the people. So they content
their souls by saying that while they favor
manhood suffrage, the South never would con-
,cnt to it as o "condition precedent y OF re-.
admission. We happen to have the authority
of very noted ooutherner-onc who went into
the war at the beginning and remained until
the end-for saying that at any time during the
first two months succeeding Lees surrender
manhood suffrage might have been proclaimed
without a m1rmur of dissent. Those fence
people and messy politicians created this South

CONNECTICUT.

A few more days and the people of our sister
State will vote upon the amendment granting
manhood suffrage. The issue, as we have said'
lis local but more particularly national. The
war does not seem to have given Us manhood
sufFrage-or rather the war did give it-while
the fence men and the mossy politicians threw
lii away. We shall have to struggle for it, TO
meet prejudces, to oppose narrow and hostile
organizations and educate the people to it. To
90 this we must have words OF cheer and com
fort from Connecticut Alone Of all the New
England States, she denies to intellect, industry
and labor what she gives to the more tlnge OF
the skin NewEngland should be unit IN this
great cause, and when she has united, the
moral effect upon the Nation will be sublime.
The new issues are gradually shaping them
selves. We had hoped they might have been Of
a different character. We trusted that 30 far
as America was concerned the ideas Of politics,
the theory of our freedom and laws had been
5 determined forever, that the foundations wcrt
perfect and we might 60 on with the super
structure. There are many questions connected
. with American pOsperity-;be tariff, interna
Improvements, our mining system, interna
% tiona relations, manufactures, our whole Sys
tenn of social and political econOmy-which de
8 mand the serious attention Of the people.
the legitimate results Of the war had been prop
! erly appreciated, we might be ready to ente
into ali these questions and determine them
SO long as a fundamental error remains Oul
system will always be pernicious and we mus
) labor to remove it. In that work We must have
the hearty sympathy of Connecticut.
Friends, but few DAYS remain TO you
Work increasingly, earnestly to the hour of thu
ballot. You have strong opposition to meet
for our enemies feel as we feel that the contest
is national end not local. The battle may be
more earnest, but the victory will be greater.

Some of our Democratic cotemporaries are
anxious to convince their readers that the
enancipatcd blacks Of the South are treated
with the utmost consideration and kindness By
tho whites. and that AL the statements OF news
paper correspondents TO the contrary are either
ignorant Misrepresentation, or deliberate false
hoods told for political purpose. In North
Carolina, especially, il is declared that there is
not the slightest disposition to mrltreat the
Freedmen, and if they are exposed to any sui
fering, it il the result of their own misconduct.
The object is two-fold first, that the policy
which would remove all military force from the
South may be generally acquiesced in;
and secondly, that the blacks may DO left,
without either sympathy or pro-
lection, to the tender mercies Of their white
noghbors who will t-ample them under foot il
not out of existence. But here is bit Of
evidence which comes, not from correspondents
of Northern newspapers, but from North Caro-

by Gov Holden. We learn-but that is from

A newspaper (Copperhead) finds it difficult to
understand the logic of TIE TRIBUNE in refer
ence to our proposition that the Government has
the right to insist upon manhood suffrage in tho
South, while at the same time we do not admit
the propriety Of its interfering with the States in
the North. In the first place, the States IN the
North entered into contract when the Union
was created, and kept it. Tho South entered
into the same contract, and broke it. Among
he penalties ior this infdehty we emauc'pated
the slaves. took possession Of the State Govern
ments end insisted upon complete pur'hca'
ton before the States are again admitted. Apart
from any question Of moral duty. this Is the
right of conqueror. If the South had con-
quered, we presume it would have established =, (.
Slavery everywhere just as we abolished it

Benjamin, like Mr.. Lawley, forgcts con-
venicn,ly enough why the cartel OF exchange
was not can ed ont-nsmely, because the Con-
cederate authorities refused to treat negro SOL

they were no. eou1l ~ the sam" nunbar ot Nni's
,r,eo. and no reasonable man ever Supposed they
oor.d be-"
Would The Republicans perhaps consider Gen.
Grant reasonable man." his opinion being
quito different OF this pointl Gen. Grant Sald
Of the negro troops: For guard duty anc
picket dutr. on the march and in an assault,
consider tho mgro troops surpassed by no soldiers
in lhs rorid, and eqraisd by rery fem" " But
oue.ied listener, docs not that incluce al
you can say of soldier'" " Nearly, but not
quite ALL" responded the Lieutenant-General;
what remains is, the ability to endure tie
steady pounding Of piotracted campaign"
" Yes" said another questionor. "but II the
negroes are good for everything else, why no.
for that1" "I don't say they are rot" rejoined
Gen. Grant; 81 only say they have not been
tried"
The parties to that conversation were Gen.
Grant, Edwin M. Stanton, and Henry Ward
Boecher, and We had it from the lips Of the
latter. We don't think the negro troops are in
need Of certificate, even from Gen. Grant. but
VIC print the foregoing for the benefit of such
papers u like to be sure of a respectable in
