Uncle Josh TO speak in meeting. lie

to tho remarks OF the deacon, and could
assure the brethren that, from his long

The Suffrage.

The suffrage question has many as
poets. IL In both denied and asserted
with equal vchemonce that political
righls; arc natural. rights; but every
American, ut least, must DO very wary
how no commits himself to tho negative
of the proposition. If governments
Justly exist by the consent of the gov.
orncd, II il rather difficult 10 show that
there Ia no higher claim 10 q share in
political power than the consent OF those
who already enjoy il. That II may be
withheld is very possible. That II can
be justly withheld is not evident.
But In the discussion Of impartial
suffrage in the late rebel States we may
descent from tho heights OF abstract
right, and regard the point as purely
one Of expediency. 1t Is asked, and
fairly enough, Whether in the condition
of public opinion in the loyal States, as
shown in the Connecticut refusal OF i'm
partial suffrage; IN the defeat of the
same proposition in Wisconsin by "a
majority OF ten thousand in tho popu-
lar vote, while the Union ticket was
elected by eight thousand, and in the
disabling suffrage laws of many Of the
other States, it is advisable TO insist
upon impartial suffrage in the States
which are to be reorganized. We say
this question is fair and natural enough,
but the subject must be regarded from
the point OF view Of the national welfare.
Thus, in State like Connecticut,
which is indisputably faithful to the
Government, it is not directly essential
10 tho national safety that the two thou.
sand colored men should be allowed to
vote. IL is pitiful disgrace to the State;
but it is not essential TO the nation,
because the non voters are so few, and
because the political power remains
steadily in patriotic hands. So also in
Wisconsin and other Western States.-
But in Georgia or Mississippi the con.
siderations arc very different. In those
States the question of impartial Suffrage
involves directly the national welfare
The point of inquiry is, whether if po.
litical power be intrusted exclusively to
the late rebels with their present dispo.
sition, the State will maintain that in
innate and hearty relation with the
National Government which is indis.
pensable, and whether the dangers oi
impartial suffrage there are not very
much more than balanced by those o.
partial suffrage?
1t is not question for passion oil
rhetoric, but for the calmost. and most
thorough deliberation. = Harper
Weekly.

because, since the days of Calhoun, the

Can n Mother Forget?

cannot forget the child. Three times a

table, and hopes that next year, at far

lily therc," and if you are there, just
look out fJr fat lamb or fried chick
en-, and coffee which nobody but every
body's own mother can make. Did
Hannah forget Samuel? A short sen.
tence, full Of household history, and
running over with genuine mother 8
love, is telling beautiful: "Moreover his
mother made him little coat, and
brought it TO him from year to year,
when she came up with her husband TO
sacrifice"
A mother mourning at her first born's
grave, or closing the eye of child after
child, displays grief whose very ga.
credness il sublime. But bitter, heavier
than the death stroke is the desperation
of son who rushes over o crushed
heart, into vices which be would hide

The Best they Can DO.

AS the bcst thing the Copperbeads
can do, they are planting bemselves
upon the political basis Of opposition TO
negro suffrage. This is the only polit.
ical capital left of the negro question
for the Copperheads TO operate upon,
and we believe " il tho best they can
do. We heard u litlc anecdole the
other day which illustrates the idea very
we'll:
A minister, who was going TO his ap-
pontment, had TO go by the house Of
one Of the brethren, and as was his GUS
tom, stopped to go TO church with the
family On riding up TO the house he
saw a little boy peeping through the
fence, and accosted him as follows:
"WelI, my little fellow, is your father
at bonner
mo sir, he has gone to church." was
the reply.
"ls your mother at homer
"No sir, sho has gone to church
too"
"wby, my son, are you left here all
alone2'
"Oh, no." replied the boy. "Sam is in
the house huggin' the niger gal.
"Weli," SAID the preacher, "that is
very bad"
~ know it's bad" said the boy, "but
it's tho best thing be can do just now.
We don't blame the Copperheads for
'huggin' the Niger for it's the best
thing they can do just now. They have
nothing else 10 do.
