chial Europe commonly selects property as
a suffrage qualification, Republican Amer
lea substitutes for it the test of intelli-
gence.
There are, it is true, exceptions to every
rule, and, of course, there are to be found
intelligent men who can not read but if
these men nave obtained such accurate po-
litical information as every voter ought to
possess, they have collected it as a sailor
shipwrecked on a desert island might
wrest a living from a ground by cultivat-
ing it with a masOn's trOwel. They are
almost in the benighted condition of men
before the discovery of printing. They
have not possessed themselves of the mod
ern implements of knowledge. They
should be required TO procure these before
they are admitted to exercise the solemn
duty of suffrage.
We need something TO remind us that
it is a solemn duty. Suffrage has of late
years, and especially in our great cities,
gradually come to be not only cheapened,
but, in Il measure, dishonored and degrad-
ed. That canno continue and Increase
without ~endangering our very form of gov
eminent. Anything which tends to ele-
waite suffrage in the eyes of those who ex-
ercise it, tends to the perpetuity no less
than to the morality of the Republic.
. $
have reason to believe that such a
measure will be introduced in the early
days of next Congress, by one of its ablest
members and that it VIII find favor in
the highest quarters. 1t is not all that, ir
justice, we ought to secure; it may be all
that, in practice, we shall be able to OBJ
tain.
The public desire is strong that frater-
nal relations between the lately warning
sections of our country should be speedily
re-established. That is well. To be recon
ciled to a brother is better than an altar
gift. Peace is a God-like visitor. But if
she come with her white robes sullied with
injustice, brief will be her s%ojourn
among us.
Let not our eagerness for tranquility,
then, betray us into concessions alike per-
ilous and dishonorable. We are in dan
ger of this. One of the wisest of modern
writers of public affairs has said "When
a nation has been wearied by long strife,
it will submit to be duped for the sake of
peace"
1 am, Sir, your obedient servant,
