NEGRO SUFFRAGE SOUTH AND
NoRTH.-The Philadelphia Press
characterizes it as "stupendous de-
fusion to expect Congress and the
Executive to do that for the unedu-
Gated freedmen of the South, which
the Independent States of the North
have failed or refused to do for the
better trained and more experienced
free colored men in their section"
In the main, we believe this is true.
Still it is evident that negro suffrage
in the Southern States is pressed
upon public favor by many consid-
erations which do not affect it at the
North. q " .
A large portion of our people fear
that in the political reorganization of
the South, the power viii fall again
into the hands of those who were
foremost in the rebellion; and they
seek a remedy for this in giving the
suffrage to the enfranchised slaves.
They assume that these slaves would
naturally vote with the anti-slavery
men Of the North-that they would
constitute an Offset to the vote of
those who were recently rebels, and
that their admission to the ballot-box
would, therefore, afford a safeguard
against the return of the Southern
States into rebel hands. Whether
right or wrong, this is the motive
which leads very many Northern
men to advocate negro suffrage at the
South; and this reason does not ap-
ply at the North.
But even if it were necessary to
Offset the vote of Southern whites,
we do not feel assured that it could
be done by comforting the suffrage
upon the enfranchised slaves. Every
thing in their past history, every
thing in their character, and every
thing in their future necessities, rem
ders it probable, to say the least,
that their votes would be mainly in
huenced by those upon whom they
must be dependent, and with whom
relations will be the closest. 1t is
SO in every other communitys-why
should it not be so in the Southern
States? 1t seems not at all unlikely
that the admission of the negroes
en- nsasse to the ballot-box would
simply add just so much to the very
power we seek to diminish. That
those most closely allied with that
power think so. is sufficiently proved
by the advocacy of negro suffrage in
the Daily News.
The duty of all good citizens,
North and South, who would pro-
mote the welfare of the negro race, is
to prepare them by education for the
rights and responsibilities of citizen.
ship, and to secure their admission
to those rights in each State, just as
fast as they are qualified to discharge
them wisely and safely, and no faster.
Thousands and tens of thousands |
among them are qualified already; |
but of the great mass of those who
have but just received their freedom,
this cannot be said.-Neao York |

SOCIAL HARMoNy.-From ell accounts,
there must have been an enviable state ol
society in Troy. during the late County
canvass. We had heard, almost daily,
of some one threatening smother with
"slspping his jaws" or of some one else
calling another q Odd scoundre|;" but
we learn from the Reporter, that the i'll
feeling was carried into business trsussc.
tions and social gatherings. A Conven.
tion man had business house to rent,
and was applied to by an Independent
mercantile firm, who were refused, upon
the ground that "a mans business and
politics ought to 60 together" The
wives Of Convention men sligbted those
of Independents in social gatherings
That appears to us to be running small
matter into the ground. There was nc
such carrying on in White Cloud. Bu'
perhaps that was because there were nc
Convention men here.
