PRESIDENT JoENsoN AND NEGRO SUr>
FRAGE-Ihe Washington correspondent
OF the Independent defines the position of
President johnson on the question of ne
gro suffrage as follows
The President has Informed no man
not even 4 member of the Blair family
that he is opposed TO negro suffrage; but
he has asserted in the presence of many
Republicans his personal preference for
universal suffrage His position is not
dissimilar to that taken by DR. Bushnell in
New Haven last week He is not clear
IN his own mind respecting the proper
method Of attaining the desired result
Those who are intimate with him say the
rebelious conduct Of q large portion Of
the people Of Tennessee, South Carolina
and Virginia is very rapidly driving him
70 the conclusion that the black man of
the South must have the ballot before poll
ltlcai power IS accorded to the former
rebels of that section However this NAV
be, 1t IS certain that the President is not
opposed to negro suffrage, and has author
IZed no man to say he is.

he entire quiet that has been imposed
on the prisoner during his late indilnosi-
ton has had the effect of causing him to
regard much more bopclu'lv the issue Of
the ordeal he is now undergoing. and If
ms previous constant labor in his cell
preparing documents and evidence that
has favorable bearing upon his care are
lnterdicted in the future, he will probably
have no relapse
II Is evident that in addition to the OBJECT
OF the fearful recital that mas been pro-
crossing day after day without a single
eXtenuatIn@ circumstance being deduced,
that the sieepIesS nights W;rz has been

proStration yerginc upon insanity, and

THE UNION STATE TICKET.
Responses Of the Unisn Press.
TFrom the Portage Register.J


We have inst returned from the state
Convention which closed its session OF
Thursday afternoon We have attended
every convention since we became resi-
dent ~ the State, but we were never pres
emf Mt one before where so mnch harmony
and enthusiasm prevailed and where such
comnIete satisfaction was manifested over
the ticket nominated.
The resolutions were adopted with en-
tire unanimitv They furnish platform
which every truly loyal man can heartily
indorse, and they contain nothing which
will have a tendency to ALLEVIATE n single
Union voter from the ticket nominated
From the Milwaukee sen,in IL
1t is with feelings of unalloyed satlstac-
ton that we place at the head OF our col
umns to>day list of names so strong and
so honorable-so worthy to be the stands
ard-bearers of the Union party OF WIS
consin in he conflict which is now about
to wage against the rallied forces Of the
Copperhead Democracy
y
As whole, the ticket is probably as
good a one as has ever been submitted for
the sufrages Of the people of Wisconsin.
1t contains not, from the head to the foot
of the list one of those nominations not
fit to be made such as Daniel Webster
once referred to. All are good men and
| true.
From the La Crosse Republican,
| To say that the nominations of the Union
| Convention please US, does not express our
| feelings on the subject. We are delighted
that we are to support during the coming
campaign men who are in every way
worthy and competent for the positions tc
which they haze been selected. The army
has four five candidates upon the ticket
and rs every one of them have been good
soldiers, we have confidence that they
will make equal y good civil officers. They
have all earned the positions on the battle
field for which they have been nominated
/ now
The civilians on the ticket, headed by
the venerable Wyman Spooner, for Lieu,
tenant Governor, could not have beer
more APPLY chosen.
We nail the ticket to the masthead o
the Republican today, with feelings o
pride, and will fight for it through thi
campain as one worthy our best efforts
and on the second tuesday of Novembc,
we will say to the people of Wisconsin
These are your chosen servants"
