Suffrage and Repre.entation.

"THE Southern people are willing to give the
negro full civil rights, to protect his lite and
property, to provide Tor the education Of mis-
children, to allow him to testify in all the
courts, which is perfectly right and proper
but they are not willing that he shall control
the ballot-box, and by acting under the leader
ship OF bad men, injure the whole race and
sap the foundations OF our representative sys-
TEN "-DemOcr0tic paper.
Very well. But why, then, do the South
and do Northern Democrats insist that the
negro shall be counted in as part of the
basis of representation If he is unfit to
vote. he is unfit to balance white Northern
mems votes on the floors OF Congress and in
the Electoral College. If he be not fit to
vote. why should he have twenty-four votes
in Congress and in the Electoral College,
cast by his late Rebel masters, to neutralize
the vote of the entire State of Penns ylvania
This will not do 1t is not just. 1t is
anti-democratic and anti-republican. 1t
establishes among US rOtten-borough''
svstem of the most infamous character. 1t
makes the South veritable oligarchy. We
are willing to be more than just, even gene
rous, to the late Rebels, but we cannot con-
cent to make them more than our equals

The New York 'ETimeso on Clymer.

In a less conspicuous DECREE, IN nominations for

MIsDIRECTED ENERGIEs.-Two officious
ministers OF the Roman Church waited upon
Jefferson Davis, not for the good of his sin
stained soul, but to convey TO him an assu-
rance of affection on the part of the Southern
population. They had better devote their time
to abSovlne him of his guilt, Tor if the interpo-
sition OF saints does good, it will needall those
in the calendar, and all the angels from Ga
briel down, and all the aUeS and benedictes
through all eternity to get him permission to
dip the tip of his fingers in water and cool his
tongue, when he is tormented by never-ending
flames.

THE PARTY THAT ELECTED Mr.. LIN
CoLN.-The Age says that the radical party
to-day sis the party that elected Mr.. Lin
coIn." That is true; and every man who
voted for that great and good statesman
should now vote with the radicals. The
cause of the Union and the Constitutions
of human liberty and progress, is as much at
issue to-day as when Abraham Lincoln was
our noble standard-bearer. Were he alive,
he would sill be our leader and champion.
The men who oppose us now are the men
who opposed Abraham Lincoln, who maligned
and prosecuted him while living, and who
rejoiced over his untimely death. We are
engaged in the same contest that we waged
so successfully during the Rebellion, and our
triumph this fall will be as great Union
victory as were the election and reelection OF
Abraham Lincoln.

CIymer and the War Democrats.

THOUSANDS OF War Democrats refuse to
support Clymer, because, as General Grant
says, be was "disloyal" man during our
great national struggle. BE was forced upon
the party by its extreme leaders. He is Of
the VallandigLam stripe of politics. Loyal
men will not stand this. They will not be
dragooned into voting for u man who has a
disloyal record. and who boasts that he still
adheres to it. Gealy will get thousands of
votes from the War Democrats. He deserves
them

and is of his style OF politics.
Grant goes against Clymer, and says it is
an "imSuI" to ask any Union soldier to vote
for him, because he was "diSIoyGP' man
during the war.

amendment, Ex-Governor Holden making a
