The british AbOliiiOnist.

At "A late gathering at the Cooper lnsti-
tute, New York, GEORGE THOMPSON, of
England, made n speech, in which he said
that "he did not claim the right of suffrage
for the black man simply as an act of Justice,
but as a right because he is a man--no
moreno less.
Now, We submit that, in place of cndcav-
oring to confer the right of suffrage upon
four million negroes in this country, Mr.,
THOMPSON would look much better in try
ing to secure the right Of suffrage for twice
or thrice the same number Of whites in his
own country, Lot him attend first to socur
ing freedom for the white slaves in England
and then he can appropriately labor for the
freedom Of tho blacks in the United States

Chase In South CarOiina---Fa- :
yOrS Negro Suffrage,

The Charleston correspondent Of the n.
Y. UeyuH gives an account of an attempt
to hold IL meeting. by the old citizens on the
10th inst. \ number of those who atten-
ded to participate in the proceedings of
the meeting, left, on finding considerable
number Of negroes present. a meeting,
smaller i'll numbers, was, however, held Of
out and out Unionists and negroes. There
was much excitement over the matter, the
whites collected in groups in the streets and
giving vent to their feelings against the
claim of negroes to vote and consult III any
public meeting of citizens. Older citizens
were told to return home
The commntinn was increasing whom
Chief Justice Chase arrived in the city. -
Mayor Macbeth and others waited on him,
Friday. In fact his audience was crowded
during the day. In reply to numerous
questions he expressed the opinion that it
would be better for both white and colored
that the latter should have the right of vo-
ting in the formation of the new Consttu-
ton of the State He did not know what
would be the action Of the Government on
the subject He stated that while Pres-
! dent johnson was Military Governor of
Tennessee the people there adopted Con
stitution that did not give the right of suf-
frage to the colored people, or even the
right to testify in a court of justice. The
Constitution had however, been accepted
| by the Government of the United States.
Mr.. Chase said the Government would
not recognize the present government OF
any State, or any present legislative body
that had been engaged in the cause of re.
bellion A new State Constitution would
have to be formed and submitted to Con
greSs.
In the afternoon Mr. Chase addressed be,
tween 5000 and 5000 colored people and
about 500 whites at Zion Church, He was
received with tremendous cheering, and ad.
voeated the right Of the negro to the ballot
though he was not ready to say the Govern
mcnt was in favor of universal suill age. -
His views did not seem to meet those o
other conflicting factions fully. There wa,
n feeling between the negro troops and tn,

"An Informal Session OF Com
gress.c

There seems to be u purpose among GER
tain class of Congressman to decide what
President JOHNSON should do, and then
compel him to walk on the line they chalk.
The Toledo o. Commociai-the organ Of
Congressman AsHLEY--in a recent article
on AN Informal Session Of Congress- -
says: Our Representative, Hon. j. NJ.
ASHLEY, has already gone, by mritatioa, to
take part in its deliberations. The n. Y.
Times Republican, says, 'the objects Of
this conclave are said TO be the settlement
of certain political questions, with view to
bringing the pressure fthe members present
upon the Executive to secure the adoption
Of their views" but feels satisfied, "if they
expect to capture President JOHNSON by
this underhand maneuver, they will find
themselves mistaken" and adds, ''if he
wants the advice Of Congress, he will prob
ably call it together.
Dispatches inform us that delegation
Of Congressmen, with Hon. JAMES NJ, ASH
LEY at their head, had called on the Presi
dent, and urged upon him one oftheir points
md that he had replied favorably, We
suppose they will press upon him Other
points, and ifthey find him plant, will vote
themselves permanent body, and run tn,
Presidential machine, with ANDREW JouN
SON merely asa figm e-head. This junta oI
Congressman are of that class of Republicans
that cry out for blood, for hanging, con6s
cation, extirpation, negro equality.
