NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN TaESoUTn-LETTER
FROM 4 SOUND REPUBLICAN.
Editors Chicago Tribune:

As thorough believer In the Justice and
prrpriety Of extending the right Of suffrage
to the negroes In the rtbtllious States, hive
been rejolced 1t the decided stand which the
TRIBUNE has taken On this, as regard 1t the
mott important question In our politics.
For, clearly. If The political ideas OF which
the rebellion Was the cutgroWth a1e 10 -four
, 1865-07-18

ieh with the same v1eor, after peace has been
.Cbtorrd and the nation 1eorganlze1, as be-
fore tie war commenced, no results beneficial
10 the nation have been achieved By the MAI.
The doctrines OF State sovereignty, another
political asecrdarcy Of slavery, were repre-
sented BY the Southern armies; It WAS to
establish those principles that Southern ar-
mics fought, Il WAS to overthrow them that
the armies OF the Union waged their
gallant fight through four - years Of
war. The d1feat and overthrow Of the
armies OF the rebellion involves the defeat
end overthrow Of the political ideas which
their success would have esiabltthed. Il those
who hare thus submitted their peculiar po~
ltical notions to the arbitrament Of war,
after havirs suffered defeat, can return to.
their fcrmer positions and resume their
efforts to force their heres,es upon the nation
through the fnstrumenta1ity Of the ballot,
thtn. indeed has the war proved JaQare.
A failure bccause By our own folly we neglect
to save what our soldiers hare won.
Hence II Il that the question Of suffrage. In
The reorganization Of bouthern States, Is Of
