strong war man. The milk in that cocoanut
is easily accounted for. He managed to get
his paper extensively circulated in the army.
In March, however, there were rumors OF
peace. FAwNING snuffed it from afar The
people were ripe for Il, and Mr. LINCOLN and
Secretary SEWARD had gone to Fortress Mon
roe to consummate the plan. Now did the
roaring lion become the turtle dove. FAwS-
mo comes out in the Chronicle strong for
peace and general pardon. He entertained
rebels and copporheads at his house to pre-
pare the way for the new political Jerusalem.
But he barkod too soon; he rolled over but got
no cracker. Again his voice is suddenly
heard for incorporating war, and he fol.
lows his master wherever, by the most dill.
gent smelling, he can track him.
Next comes the fall of fRichmond and terms
of leneincy. FAwNING is for the most
"umble" submission to the South.
Then comes the assassination of Mr. LIN
COLIN and the installing of Mr.. JOHNSON, and,
notwithstanding all that he said about him on
the 4th of March last, over goes FAwNING
again The vigorous policy laid down by Mr..
JOHNSON for Furnishing treason, is just tte
thing for FAwNING; che never advocated
anything else" And now comes the "dissolv
ing view" of some of his varied and entertain
ing performances. Flat on his back, n crumb
is offered to turn either way. Dizzy with
his previous gyrations, he cannot determine
which way to turn to get the largest pay,
and so he amuses the audience with barking
at both till time shall settle his policy.
Hear his opinions (fOr he has three opinions
in the same articlo) on negro suffrage, cut
from a late Sunday Chronicle.
We give them in numbers, as follows:
No. 1.-oPPREssIoN THE RESULT OF THE
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
To confer upon the negroes of the South, at this
time, au unrestricted right Of suffrage, would iu-
eyitably lead to one or the other Of these two
results. Either the whites, of all clauses and
castles, toouid combine and array themselves in
solid phdtdnr against the negroes in all cleo
tionS, and thus completely nuiiVy their pOLhi-
cal potcer, or, on the other hand, the whites
themselves would divide into two parties, and
that which could succeed In controlling the negro
vote would become predominant
The first mentioned result lDOuid most prob
ably yOlioIc; in which case the negroes would
sutely ueTlNe no Denenl from lne flSnI OF sur
frage On the contrary, they could expect moth i
ing else but oppression from such a state Of
things.
No. 2.-uE WOULD REJOICE TO SEE THE
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
After what we have heretofore said on this
subject, OF course we shall be understood as OBJ
jcctug OaLy to the policy of 6nrciRg universal
suifragc upon the Southern States by the interpo-
sitiOn OF the Federal Government. We shall re-
jOics 10 see the rigM Of suffrage erteHdcd bU The
StGtsS themselves, North as well as South, to all
CLASSES gf persDnS capable Of exercising il intel
ltyentiy, ,oihom regard to color or caste.
No. 3.-THERE IS NOTHING BUT MISCHIEF To
THE NEGRO IN NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
We have dwelt upon this subject Of late, be.
cause We can see in the attempt now being made
20 force upon the country, as political ISSUE tht
| question II negro suffrage, nothing but mischief
-mfschif TO the interests Of the cOtOred race, and
mischief to that class OF white citizens in the late
| rebellious States upon whom all our hopes Of
harmonious and prosperous Union in the future
| are based.
That is, rhubarb given by the doctor gives
the patient the collie. Rhubarb taken volun
tarily cures tho collie! When he conclude,
which course to take, due notice will be
given.
Since the above opinions were uttered, the
| Chronicle has contained another article i"
JavOr of extending the oppressive and mis-,
chterOms right of suffrage to the negroes by
constitutional amendment. Tomorrow ar
entirely opposite opinion will probably be
announced Thus does the immaculate edi
tor, from day to day,
