These quotations prove Mr. Reynard Raymond TO be
disingenuous ! that he attempts In what have
just blind the eyes Of the conservative OF
the State and induce them to vote his ticket under the
plea that the republican party do not make the question
Of negro suffrage an issue this campaign agree with
him that the creed of party only to be gathered from
is to cay by its State Convention II it be State ticket,
and by its National Convention If il be national ticket
True the republican party National has not
vet endorsed negro suffrage because that question IL
Pandoras box which has been opened by its leaders
since the the rebellion. Taking advantage Of
this Mr.. Raymond says that negro suffrage is not
fundamental or essential principle OF the repub-
party and that its decision rests solely with the next
Congress- That is true, according to his republican
idea He goes on to say that members Of Congress will
vote upon it they see it, That is also
true. But declare that SO far as we have had an ex-
,nf from
It's newspapers and recognized representatives in Con
gress out that that party committed directly COM
WILL when Congress assemblies ntcrpose every objection
to the admission of the representatives OF the Southern
States under Mr. Johnsons policy. (Irue, true y The
republican party not having defined its position in any
the subject OF negro suffrage now are we

of unrestricted and unlimited negro suffrage In This

his pulpit Brooklyn, avowed that he was IN favor

The bones Of many OF them are now bleaching on
the battle fields OF the rebellion and their re-

President johnson leaves ito the legislative action OF
the several States The ultra theorists Of the republican
party. Wendell Phillips, Henry Ward Beccher in his
letter yesterdays Tribune, and b. Gratz Brown, the
radical republican Missouri Senator are each insisting
that the right OF suffrage is natural right hold with
your naturalization laws are unnecessary; the
age OF the voter and his residence in county
and State cannot be fixed by law. Now,
thus is political right under the exclusive jurisdiction OF
the Legislatures Of the several States cannot better
prove fellow citizens TO you the opposition OF the re-
publican leaders the Presidents restoration policy
than by drawing picture Of what their OF action
will be- in the Congress Congress will assemble
the first Monday OF December and mt its opening DIR Nc
Pheson the present republican clerk, will call the roll
OF members. Now prognosticate that that roll the
name OF single member from the lately seeded
States will appear though several OF them have elected
representatives good aith under the Presidents reso
