Hung be the Heavens in Black!

By vote of 80 to l3 the Senate of our fac-
tiondl Congress have passed the bill comforting
the right of suffrage upon the negro in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, while excluding those who
were engaged iu the late civil war on the side of
the Confederate States. In our article of Thurs
day on "Universal amnesty and universal suf-
frage," we showed what the policy of the Rdi-
Gals had been from the inception of their party,
and that their various plans and schemes for the
restoration of the country were false as them
Se!ycs-concocted only 10 Northumberland
only to betray. The passage of this bill shows
that cur remarks were trae--that our prediction
will he shortly verified unless the people raise
in their might against the industry and dishon-
esty Of the legislation of this Radical factional
Csnrress.
The ignorant and degraded negroes OF the
District numbering thousands who came here
from the Soathern slave Statcs-thousands who
we're kidnapped by Massachusetts, deale-s in hu-
min blood, under the name of bounty brokers,
and sold in this District-al these have so far
as the action of this factional Senate is conserued,
The right to vote. But white men--L large, intel
ligent and energetic clasS-who acted as their
convictions of duty (mistaken though they were)
p on p ed them, white mcn are 10 Ge excluded
This IS another step towards the erection of a
Yankee arstocracy upon the ruins of the Repuh-
lie. few weeks more, and, SO far as this fac
tion1l Congress can do it, the Southern States
will be reduced to prosinccs-tte whites disfran-
chisei-and then the next step will be the dis
franchsing of the Democrats in the North
Those who wer. called "Peace Democrats" will
first experience the effect Of Yankee legislation.
Then all classes of Democrats. Then gradually
the people of the country, no matter what their
political sentiments, until New England alone
is the governing power Washington Union.
