Stevens, have caused to be introduced |
scheme, having for its object the dis
franchisement Of nearly the entire
white population Of the South to put
the political power of the late rebel
Ious States in the hands of the igno-
rant slaves, of which we have been
robbed, and thereby secure a negro
equality President in 1868, and give
guarantee of Southern admission g un-
der the radical negro dispensation.
When the vote was taken the other
day, on Broomall's resolution inquir-
ing into the expediency of providing
territorial governments for the South
ern States, and giving to all adult
male inhabitants born within the linn
it's of the United States, or duly natu-
rallied and not participants in the late
wars, full and equal political rights in
such territorial governments, the vote
| stood as follows:

The negative voters were all Demo
Gratis save John Baker, of Illinois,
Geo. NJ. Dodge, of Iowa, c. d. Hub
, bard, of West Virginia, Rufus P.
Spalding, of Ohio, Hale, Kuykendall,
and Stillwell-showing that nearly
all the revolutionists are committed to
this wild scheme, calculated to pro
duce anarchy and confusion in the
South, and overthrow the present form
of government. The New York World,
a leading Democratic paper of the
North, does not, however, look upon
this measure as of any great impor.
tance 1t thinks we should feel neither
terror nor depression at the growing
favor with which it is received by the
Republican party, for it proves that
the Republican leaders despair of get
ting their heels on the necks of the
Southern people by any other method
They perceive that there is no other
way to get control of the suffrage and
introduce the negroes to the ballot
box; no other way to carry such
amendments as they wish to engraft
upon the Constitution; no other way
to subject the domestic concerns of the
South to federal control Turn and
squirm as they may, they cannot es-
cape the ugly fact that thirteen States
stand like an immovable barrier against
every amendment to the Constitution
which the Radicals wish to have
adopted; that the number of States
must rise to fiftytwo to over
come this opposition and that that
number will not be reached in this
century, if ever Hence we see efforts
already begun in both Houses of Con
gress for degrading those States into
Territories, and the Republican press
everywhere wheeling into line to march
in this movement.
Our friend of the World thinks we
should take courage at this practical
confession of Radical weakness. and
declares it cannot succeed and its
failure will perhaps weaken and de
moralize and divide the party. This is
a very happy view to take of it, but
we tell you, Mr.. World, that the ac
ton of Congress is having telling
effect upon business down this way
1t is paralyzing commerce, checking
labor on the farms, and causing thou
sands of people to seek homes in other
countries.
A SENSIBLE REPUBLICAN-The edi-
tor of the Cincinnati Commercial does
not indorse the shouting and stamping
of Thad. Stevens. He says Stevens
