SHORT HAIR MEETING.--The short Hairs had
rousing and enthusiastic meeting in the The.
ater in this city on Wednesday night. The
meeting was addressed BY Messrs. McTarnahau,
Bush and Carpenter, and they ably and sue.
cessfully vindicated their cuurse. The remarks
OF each gentleman were loudly cheered, and
those that sneered at ave, the undersigned" )"
were handled without gloves. The speech OF
Mr.. Carpenter was bold, lucid aud logical His
comments on the course of the consistent and
"loyal McCalum were powerful and sarcas.
tic, and were greeted with vehement applause
BY the audience. George ". Swan. Esq, call
ed the meeting to order. Hon. A. o. Henry
was elected President, Messrs. Elrod and Burns
Vice Presidents. and Jesse Yarn-ll Secretary.
On the same night the Long Hair Club called
q meetiag, but the attendance was so slim that
they thought it advisable to adjourn. If the
meetings on Wednesday night were indicative
of the strength of each party, the Long Hairs
will not poll u respectable vote. Tne Short
Hairs are strong. sanguine and enthusiastic.

A Few DAYS MoRE.-We stand on the
verge Of great contest. On Wednesday
next will open the grand battle between
the friends of the white race and the
friends of the black race. On which side
will you be found, reader? We look with
confidence to the issue. The Democracy
are ready they fear not the strife. for
they are fighting in the cause Of justice
and humanity fighting to restore the
friendly relations which once existed be,
tween the North and the South fighting
to reconstruct the Union on a just and
enduring basis. We believe that the re
suit of the coming contest will vindicat,-
the ood.bought liberties of a great peo.
pie. The principles Of the Democracy
are as lasting as the stars which shine
above US. Democrats, friends of white
mans Government, we have but to be
true to the sublime mission before US,
and the popular verdict on Wednesday
next will he for us. Work, work till the

NEGRO SUFFRAGE. = Recollect, reader,
that the convention which nominated the
Abolition candidates in this county stran-
gled q resolution introduced by Mr.. Bell
denouncing negro suffrage. Nearly all
the candidates were members Of the con.
vention and voted against Mr.. Bells reso.
luton. They belong to the radical wing
Of the Republican party, and radicals in
sist that negro suffrage shall he sine
qua non in the work Of reconstruction !;
but it is believed they do not fully ap-
preciate the difficulties in the way. In
the first place they demand for the slaves
Of the South q privilege which has not
generally Deen accorded to the negroes
Of the North. Again, President Johnson
is disposed to consult the wishes OF the
Union men of the South and that these
will oppose the extension of the right of
suffrage to negroes is demonstrated by
the fact that in Missouri, Tennessee and
other States which have been "recon.
structed" under Federal authority, no
such right has been conferred. We have
every indication that the people Of the
South will be unanimous against it; and
it will be hardly worth while to get up
smother war to compel the South TO
do for the blacks what the North has not
yet done-especially, as Congress has no
color of right to do anything about it. -
Would California permit Congress to pre-
scribe the qualifications Of her electors :?
Certainly not Yet Congress has as much
right to do it for California as for any Of
the Southen States.

GENERAL SHERMAN. - General Sher
mans views are entitled to and will re-
ceive the respectful consideration of the
American people. The people love him,
as much for his modeSty and patriotism
rs for his brilliant achievements. In the
few remarks which he made on his recep.
ton at his home in Lancaster, Ohio, he
said:
"The past is now with the historian, but we
must still RIapple with the future. In this we
need Il guide, and, fortunately for US all, we
can trust the Constitution which has safely
brought us through the gloom and danger of
the past. Let each State take care of its own
local interests and atfairs-Ohin Of hers, Lnuisi-
ana of he0s, Wisconsin of hers, and, believe,
the best results will follow. You all know
we'll that have lived much at the South, and
l say that though we have been bitter and
fierce enemies in war, We must trust this peO.
pie again in peace"
Upon which the Cincinnati Enquirer
justly remarks: "There is truth and
sound philosophy in the above II the
Northern ALolitionists had acted upon it
in years past, We would never have had
this war. 1t was caused by the free States
seeking to regulate the local affairs in the
slave States. The same politicians are
justifying interference with them in the
matter of negro suffrage, aud for it they
receive a rebuke from the General" And
the masses will rebuke them still more
pointedly Abolitionists have had their
day, and the people are now convinced
the country can have no peace until they
are crushed, and they are resolved to
crush them.

TROUBLE N New HAMPSHIRE. The Leg
iSlature Of New Hampshire is strongly
Republican, Of the intensely "loyal -
stripe. Opposition to the Administration
they denounced as "treason to the Gov
ernment." On the l4th Of July last Mr.
Mcneil, Of HiIlSborough, introduced the
following resolution in the New Hamp
shire Legislature:
Resolved, That we cordially and earnestly
endorse the declaration of the Chief Executive
Of the nation. that the States which have
been In rebellion are still States, or, in other
words, that the governments Of these States
were not destroyed, but were only in obeyance
and that when the rebellion VAS suppressed
and the laws and Constitution revived, neither
the President nor Congress has any authority
TO prescribe the qualifications of electurs OF
those States"
What was its fate: When the vote
Was taken the resolution was rejected by
a party vote-the Abolitionists voting in
body against it! The language quoted
is an extract from President johnson
himself! 1t is significant Of the signs
of the times when party refuses to en-
dorse its own President 1t indicates that
there is widespread disaffection in the
Republican ranks; it indicates that the
radical is determined to rule or crush the
conservative element in the dominant
party. The difference between the two
is vital and irreconcilable, and the party
will drop to pieces at the next session Of
Congress.
