advantages to be derived by the country
from the total disappearance Of the Blacks,
should object to the most vigorous, swift and
sanguinary devices for putting them out OF their
misery. A lingering death can be desired BY
no mortal and the merciful hand will smte the
most swiftly. A race gradually becoming ex.
tnct must necessarily suffer multiplied fortunes
uSelessly protracted through several generations
is it not better to prevent the propagation OF
children who can succeed only to heritage OF
wo1 In this way we shall not simply rid our
selves more speedily of nuisance, and the
sooner reach the topmost hight of public felic-
ity; but we shall save millions from the misery
of being born to contumely, shame, poverty,
hunger and bestial life. We accord to the
poor creatures the coup de grace, and do not
leave them, as the Indians were left. to rot to
death-the slowly decaying victims Of our
slovenly civilization and Christianity!
This is one view which may be taken, but
there is another. 1t is question for the heart
and for the conscience of this nation, whether
It's better to accept the chances Of deep and
incradicable historical shame, or, by strict sd.
herence TO equity and the best policy Of honesty,
secure a clean and fragrant record. More, per.
haps, than any other people, we are accustomed
to consider and to value the figure which we
shall make in the eyes of our SUCCESSORS and
descendants. We are the custodians of the pub
lie glory, which, in theory, we value above ig.
nominious ease or wealth ill-gotten. If there
be shame in the past, if there be crimes and
crueltes yet inadequately atoned for there are
signal opportunities now proffered to us Of re-
dressing grievances, of expiating follies, and OF
correcting mistakes. We cannot escape rsspon-
siblity by multiplying cruelties, nor can we
find safety in the infdelty which in political
affairs disrcgards the distinctions between
right and wrong and takes refuge in the
tricks and swindles of expediency. The policy
which looks 10 the oblteration of class found
to be inconvenient, is the stale device of coward
ice, practeed ever and over again in history,
and never without opprobrium and substantial
failure. The democracy which practically de-
mics human equality, will prove blind and
indiscriminating in its prejudices and hatrcds
1t may strike at the helpless and naked freed
man to-day, but tomorrow it will leave Lazarus
to bis dogs and his sores and will seek Dives In
his purple and linen, in his gilded and porfumed
chambers, or at his sumptuous and delicate ban
quet. There is no safety for us in the thread
bare formulas of pseudo-science. and none in
the ribald sneers Of ignorance and malice.
The best path is now rs always the straight
one. May we have the grace to follow it, how
ever rough and narrow!

The recent visit Of the Emperor Of Austria to
the capital Of Hungary and tho determination
of the Austrian Government TO oonvoke the
Hungarian Diet, may have decisive influence
on the fate Of the Austrian Empire, and, indi-
rcctly, on that Of the European Continent.
Since the failure Of the attemptto secede from
Austria and establish an independent Hunga-
rian republic. the affairs Of Hungary have not
attracted to q large extent the attention of for
eign countries 1t would, however, be grave
mistake TO suppose from this obscurity of Hun
gary in the political world that the people had
sunk into lethargy or inactivity, or surrendered
themselves to the mercy Of the Austrian Gov
eminent. On the contrary, they have not for
day ceased their opposition to the policy OF
tina, Government, but have persevcred in this
opposition with SO much energy that the Aus
TRAN Government at length sees itself COM
PEELED to make TO them an offer of far-reaching
concessions.
The majority Of the Hungarians no longer
aim at total separation from Austria and the
establishment Of an independent Hungarian
republic or monarchy; but they are demanding
from Austria, with a marvellous tenacity, the
recognition of that refomatory legislation Of
ls4S to which the Austrian Government itself
had given its consent. In this demand all the
parties agree, and all the efforts Of the Austrian
Government to form an Austrian party in
Hungary have been unsuccessful.
As the new Austrian Constitution of 1859
ignored altogether the legislative independence
of Hungary, the Hungarians unanimously rc-
fused TO elect delegates to the Central Austrian
Parliament; and it is chiefly they who, by this
refusal, have prevented the realization of the
hopes of the Austrian Government for strong
consolidation of all parts of the Empire.
For several years secret negotiations have
been carried on between the Government of
Austria and the leaders of the National party
Of Hungary, and it seems that partial results at
least may DO expected from them. 1t is fact
that the Emperor, on his recent visit to Pesth,
was received with satisfactory indications of ap-
plause. He declared that he was willing to be
crowned as King of Hungary. On the other
hand, the leaders of the National party Of
Hungary arc reported to have given promises
Of such changes in their Constitution as will
harmonic it with the general legislation on
Austria and, in particular, with participation
in the Central National Assembly.
The greatness of Austria is entirely dependent
upon q reconciliation With Hungary Tho COM
bned dsaffection of Hungary, Gallicia and
venetia might at any time threaten the integ.
rity of the Empire; the friendship Of Hungary
may yet be sufficient to avert such danger.

tenth of June Bunker Hill day. and the

1T strikes us that our Q. E. D. Is not many
miles off. The slave could own no properly
and therefore paid personally no taxes. lie Is
now free, and, as be will hold property, he Is
inevitably to DO taxed. Therefore, unless We
mean practically to give the Lie to one OF the
fundamental principles of the Constitution, the
logical result of Emancipation is the Right TO
Hold Property, and the logical result OF that
Right is the Right to Vote. Can anybody find
link missing in this chaini
But 1t may be urged that it was not intended
to give the slave 80 much when his freedom was
given him. Perhaps nOt-but can that be re-

1t is important to get an exact view OF this
question of Black Suffrage The fine, Oompre-
hensive cut and slash and thrust argument
against it is: "Niggers vote!-nOt by id

Here are few considerations arranged in logi-
cal sequence, which readers who arc not too
much stuffed with prejudices. and bastard
conclusions, destitute Of paternal premises, may
not disdain to weigh for moment.

EXTINCTION,

A Chicago newspaper kindly settles for the
country one small difficulty at present occupy
ing the general mind. 1t says: "Almost
exactly the same conditions apply to the future
of the negro in this country that do in the case
Of Indians. The country will not
support them, and their EXTINCTION must CON-
mence." Here is sweet solution of puzzliDg
problem. 1t is not, however, exactly original.
1t seems to be suggested by the simple measures
adopted by the civic authorities for the proven.
ton Of hydrophobia. Tho Grant and unli.
censed ours are collected, and being snugly
packed in water-butt the Croton is let on.
Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart bark and bite no
more; and society is relieved from most I'M
comfortable apprehension. 1t Is not of course,
in the same way that the African race is to be
extinguished. 1t is to die by its own agency.
Society is to provide water-butts, aud the race,
enamored of destruction, will do the fatal bust
ness for itself. The Blacks cannot take care of
themselves-it is none of our business to take
care of them-let them go to the devil!
1t is ON important point, however, for us to
consider, that races do not rush to this Tar
tarean destiny without assistance. The poor
Indian was kindly helped upon bis pre-ordained
journey by liberal and most disinterested
draughts of whisky; and now it behooves all
humane thinkers to mediate some plan for the
safe, easy and pleasant determination OF the
Blacks. A good many years ago the King OF
Egypt was prodgiously bothered in his serene
mind by the multiplication and growth Of the
children of Israel; and made an infanticidal ar.
rsngement with tho Mrs. Camps Of the period,
which turned out total failure. At subse.
cuent period of Hebrew history, Horod the
King slew all the children that were in Bethle-
hem, and in all the coasts thereof; yet the
naughty old monarch failed also in his chief in.
tention as lamentably % Pharaoh did before
him. But the human race since that early Pc
Rod of civilization has much advanced; and
wo may, by the kind assistance of DR.. Black
burn, hit upon some neat method of wiping out,

GUS beings either by tho dissemination Of peStl'
Unconstitutional that will be dangerous to
