saCL AnOtG r1aE PROPHETS.

The Chicago Ti,nes, under the exa]t1ng aud
Influences Of the glorions Fourth,
was taken up to the top Of the mountain Of
Prophecy-the very Pisgah THE prophetic
Sebo, and looking forth upon the Moabssish
plains OF our every day politics, It's editor
heheld mot far off, tho Jordan Of negro suf-
Graee, and the Promised Land Of equal rights.
II is considered no discount from the truth Of
prophecy iflt crrs in minor details, provided
1t is right on the main point,
sud truly predicts that which is un-
doubted1y The leading and central fact. By
q perusal Of the following extract
II will be seen that the Timer prophet admits
the purity Of The motives Of the majority Of
the Republican party iE aiming to extend the
right of suffrage to the negro. He admits
that We are aiming to bring the Government
into harmony with the principles Of the Dec
larat!ou Of Independence, and, consequently
that The principles of that immortal Magn1
CAor4a or Liberty require that the negro
should vote. He admits that negro sntfrnge
Will soon Triumphant It is part Of the
"rights OF man." Now, this Is the main point.
The question by whose agency this tri-
umpb will come about is secondary. The
Timer prophet secs this dtnly or he don't sec

subject CT cathsdra He says that It Is not
those who believe In II, but those who oppose
and bate II, who are 10 extend the right to
yote to the freedmen. he thinks the Repub-
lican party which is almost wholly pledged
TO the extension Of the right Of Suffrage, aud
which has the power to do 30, and
which Is to gam 500 900 votes by

their principle, and that the johnson party,
which hates negro suffrage, and would lose
four Southern States by extending suffrage to
the coIored race. are to accomplish this great
political achievement In these dim and Sec

divine af1atus be sees two hostile armies con-

value Of his prophetic dclircrance, which is
