We Conceive that in the reconstruction of the
south it is duty toprovide for the coored peo-
pie the right of sutfrage.-R. 4. Union, June
2lst.
We are not pre- spared to say al this time that the
millions of poor untutored blacks, who have re-
ceived no mental cultivation, or have been ground
down into the very dust by their inhuman masters,
should have once the right OF elective iranchise
extended to them-R. l. Union, June 23d.
We think the Union has taken doubtful po-
sitton the great question ot the hout-universal
suffrage All loyal [negro] men m ust under IN
form prudential and just regulations be permitted
to exercise the freeman's right-the elective tran
chise. But this result cannot be achieved without
contest with the lords of artstocracy. This bat
tie is be fought. This is the duty of the
hour.-R, Union, July 24th.
First he wants all the negroes in the south
to vote then he don't think they all ought
to vote, and next thinks he hasn't made a
fool of himself by trying to ride two horses,
and fnslly he is in favor of universal suffrage
to all loyal niggers. He is for "a contest
with the lords of aristocracy"-in other
words, he is for poking his nose into other
peoples business. What right have the peo-
pie of Illinois to meddie with the state affairs
OF Tennessee? In Connecticut the native
born white men are not allowed to vote un-
less they can read and write. Have we a
right to interfere in the matter? Nut at all
But we have just the same right that we have
to interfere in the question of negro suffrage
10 the south. President johnson says the
question must be decided by the people of
each state for themselves, which is the only
just and right, and constitutional mode of set
Ting it. But the radical negro worshippers
opuoaa bo povarpnapf rapt 40 ann
test hundreds of miles away with the lords
of aristoeracy,' while the Chicago Tribune
says:
ssWe have not the remotest idea that the pl an
adopted by the president for recognizing the re-
bellious states will be productive OF anything
welcome than shame and dsaster.''
1t ia thus that these negro worshippers' OPP
pose the government" and, according to their
own logic, become TRAITORS" and copper
heads"
New England, under the lead of Phillips,
Garrison, Sumner and Wilson opens the war
on President johnson and their imitators in
the west follow it up. As New England
seems determined that the negro shall vote,
and that he shall receive a certain price tor
his labor, the proper way to accomplish this
Is to have all the negroes moved into New
England. This would place the negro under
the exclusive control of New. England, and
that country could then have the matter of
miscegenation, negro suffrage and negro wa
ges all its oHn way. There could be no
more quarrelling over the negro, and New
England. as we'll as the rest of the country,
would obtain permanent peace.

General Hunter to be Called to Account.

The editor of the boy lestown Pa Demo
crdt. vino served in the army during the war,
gives this incident ia the career OF Gen. Hun
ter
On his retreat from I,ynchburg, last year,
wounded sergeant of cavalry, who had
walked long distance, overlook big negro
with two horses, aud asked him to lend him
one to ride ride to camp. He refused and
the sergeant took the reins of one, and sat
down on the road side, not having ridden the
horse foot. The negro reported to Hunter
that q soldier had stolen one of the horses,
when he and his staff rode to the spot where
the soldier still sat. Hunter, in his brutality
ordered O member of his staff TO whip the
soldier. which he did, In his mean subservien-
cy, until great welts were raised on his body
That night the negro was shot. Gen. Hunter
has not yet been called to account, but will
be when the stars are off his shoulders. The
soldier who was thus cruelty outraged lives
but a few miles from here. and himself and
friends know how TO obtain satisfaction for q
great wrong.

John Minor Bolts hits it when he SAYS

sRely upon, 1t Mr.. Gilmer, there is 70 peace
party in the north that has ever lent a serious
to the idea of separation; and all appearance to
the contrary during the last year was nothing but
piece of political juggIery, adopted with the
hope of restoring the democracy to power."-
Chicago Journal.
Less than a year ago all the republican
papers in the country, the Journal included,
were swearing that the democratic party were
striving to divide the country, and that every
man who voted for Mcclellan was u traitor
who desired the success OF the rebellion -
Did they lie-under mistake,-or intention
ally? Or was it all political jugglery"

President johnson Snubs Senator Harlan.
We noticed, some time ago, the squabble at
Washington, between Mr.. Usher, the late
secretary of the interior, and Mr. Harlan, the
present incumb bent, one OF the points in dis
pute being the issue of bonds to the Pacific
railroad contractors. A Washington CORES
pendent says:
ssIn the case ofthe Pacific railroads. claim to
theissue of government bonds, in accordance with
the law OF congr ass, on the completion OF forty
miles of the road, the president has declined to
appoint new commissioners to inspect the road as
desired by Secretary Harlan. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr. Harlan refused to accept the re-
port OF the commissioners who ere appointed by
the president, on the recommendation of Secreta-
