Henry Ward Becchcr.
MARSHALL, Mich, March Z, 1865.

=" Put not your trust in princes" was tho
sad warning Of an cider age. Put 1t not In
Beechersi one may sadly exclalm in this day
and land Of ours, where the name had ere
while sounded like the clarion voice OF frcc-
dom to the slave, and the kDeu of the latest,
foulest tyranny Of all time. The light of that
candlestick In the branch OF Henry Ward has
gone -selfextingulshed. The man who
wonld have been In the memory of the
fnture truly master spirit Of this
age, as be Is now salnted hy the
vice traltor Stephens; and who would
hive been d name to fire the sonl Of
philanthropy, like the WilbeHorce of the past,
and In close rivalry with the illustrions and
venerable Of the present, has stumbled upon
the mountains and hns 1alleu-ycs, fallen
clear out of the calendar Of the saints Of this
t1a OF the broader-road cFauee1 Of humanity.
-, He ;fottt. The breath which waited On the
t noble words which Justice md freedom, and
The truth o!hearcn demanded, waits on them
no longer, but ministers to utterauces diverse
and str1nge-words to soothe the ear Of
and to arm the oppressor again with The
scourgc mud the tladgeon, Wrenched from
him so lately By the bleeding hands OF our
apns and to pamper again. With unpaid Ia
hor, those whose mercy it was to shoot our
ian,Ished martyrs Let the name of Henry
Ward Beecher be e1punged from the roll Of
the missionaries OF freedom, till he has repent

The following is portion OF an exceedingly
pointed speech made by John Bright, Esq, In
the House Of Commons on the question Of
suepending the writ Of ha5eas corpus In Lc-
land:
Mr., BB1Gnr-I do not wonder nt the Irish
members declining to mako any observations
to this House on the subject. No, no. My
strong interest in the affairs Of their country
j,routcal cleers1 IS Tor me a sufficient excuse
ior so ds,ing. The Secretary Of State and the
G0yerupci5I of which he Is member have
called US together On an unusual day, nt m
unusupl hour, to consider proposition of the
greatest magnitude. und which We aEc in
formed Is one of extreme urgency. Hear
lit be so, hope 1t will not be understood
that We ure here merely to carry out
the 1,cbests Of the administration md
that VIC are not 10 be permitted 4 we choose
on this occasion to say something to ntti-
gate the apparent harshncss Of the course the
Government icels itself compelled to pursue.

house. During that time hare On 1nsny os-
caEions, with great tayor, been allowed to ad-
dress it. / declarc TINT IN the whole OF that

wll.soN,s SUFFnaGE POLICY.

WILSON'S SGFFAAGE FVL1EIs
Senator Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, has in-
troduccd plan OF reconstruction In the form
Of joint resolution, declaring that each Of
the lately rcbellfons States shall resume its
representatives in Congress aud Its proper re-
lations to the Union whenever it, Legislature
shall adopt irrepealsbiy the conditions Of per-
feet equality of civil rights before the law, ir-
respective OF color, tho non-payrncnt Of the
rebel debt and the following provision as TO
suffrage:
..Secopd That the right Of voting for electors Of
President and Vice President Of the United States,
herr ofthe State Lecfslule eball be granted the
said Stats TO the folio Ane CLASSES of persons Of Az
rcau detceut, VIZ: Al males Of the are OF twenty
one YEAR. and upwards Who have been duly enrolled
Ed usterrd INTO ser11ee In the army Of rary Of
The United States who peJ n1 On nal Or Pessona1
Of The said State not inconsistent herewith"
While we approve generally Of the obJecls
aimed At by Senator Wilson, We fail to see
how any reeonstructing State 81 By Its Legis-
laturen could pass nny' Inv in tho premises
that would be lrrepeAlable. But as the right
Of suffrage Is now regulated bv the Constitu-
lion Of each State, it seems plain that no
State can "ky Its legislature extend the
right Of suffrage. The Senator must 80 amend
his proposition that it shall requ're an amend
mcut of the Constn ntion Of the State to be
passed By State Constitutional Convention,
as itwould bs obviously unsafe 10 admit a
Southern State on the mere invalid ratification
of The above proDositions By Legislature
We regret to sec in . member who clairns
to be classed as Radical, an apparent reluc-
tance 10 assume that Congress has the ssmc
hight a. the President has exercised to dictate
to reconstsucting State such AMENDMENTS
to the Constitution thereof s. are necessary
to aanpt It to the new status Of It's people.
The extent OF suffrage granted would be SAT-
istscto1y to the Republican party, as 1t
would be within the power II every colorcd
man at the South to acquire the ballot by
learning 10 read. Al the samc time Copper
heads would find it hard to object to the Vote
Of q negro who could read, while sill admit
ling white men TO vote who cannot read.
such policy, like the abolition Of slavery,
must be imposed on the South By Federal re-
quiremcnt rs one Of the results Of the war and
a. patt Of the terms Of pence. No Southern
State would pass II except under Federal
pressure. This being true, we fail to see why
the suffrage might not as we'll be extended,
| in whatever form fs most desirable, by an
amendment, not only to the Constitution of
each Southern Stale, but TO the Constitution
Of the United States, which shall apply to Nil
| the Sintcs, Northern rs we'll rs Southern.
This Is the only mode Of rendering the pro-
| vision irrepealablc without tho consent of the
State affected and Of the United States; II has
the advantage of being consistent in Its appll-
| cation to Northern az we'll as Southern States

HAshaoroS, March, 4, 1855.
II Las been often remarked that the Prcsi-
dent OF the United States Is vested under the
Constitution with more real, direct power,
than any OF the monarchlcal rulers Of tho Old
World. This observation Is certainly correct,
if applied to the immense patronage st the
uniestrIcted disposal OF our Executive. The
nunber Of appointments which he controls,
directly and indirectly. since the enlargement
OF the Government machinery In consequence
Of the rebellion, Is not less, including all the
Department officials, the postmasters and in-
terDal revenue officers, than siztY thousand.
Most Of this vast host Of public stipendlaries
camel Into Office under tue administration ofAr-
Lincoln, and owed their appointment to their
relative services to. the Republican party. Our
politics not having as yet transcribed to that
utopian state, In which the mc.honorcd
party maxim OF rotation in office will bo no
longer practiced, It becomes a. question of
profound interest whether or not. notwitb.
