But Ne understand the game; and The
people see the silly dodge. 1t is an appeal
to the passions Of men; and Il General
scHKNcE can only play upon the old harp,

Of the public. ltisno harm to say that he

Unfortunately for General ScHENcT his
actions IN Congress demonstrates that he Is
an advocate Of negro equality and Of ne
gro suffrage even whrre Il is not question
between 'rebels" and niggers. We have
already alluded TO his vote 10 force negro
suffrage upon the people Of the District {;
showing tln,t he was the most radical man
in Congress- upon that point. We now
propose TO show that he voted to ntsten ne
gro suffrage upon the people of the far
away Territory Of Montana, where there
were no rebels. t.NUI -Iii
In 1854 the House passed a bill, in the
usual form, to organize temporary gov
ernmept for the Territory Of Montana.
The senate considered Il and by vote Of
Twenty-Five to seventeen struck out the
word "whiteY In the section defining the
qualifications of uotws--such Republicans
as SHERMAN, TRUMBULI, TIN EYcK, HEN-
DERsoS, and LANE, of Indiana voting 40.
The bill went back to the House. con-
ference took place; the whole subject of
disagreement being upon the rejection.of
the word "whitc." On a motion TO adhere
to its amendment; and ask another com
mitteo of conference, Mr. WEBSTER, In the
House, moved the following instructions =
"And that said Committee be- instructed
to agree TO no report that authorizes any
other than free toh ite male citizens aud those
who have declared their intention TO be-
come such, to cote"
A vote was taken ou this motion, yeas
seventy-fvc; nays sixty-sevcn, the nays
being all Republicans, Including tHename
OR. c. SCHRNCK! Thus Mr.. SoHENoK is
ON record to establish negro suffrage in the

Now ietus proceed'to see how far ne has
been committed 10 the doctrine of negro
equality, us wellas to the right of suffrage.
IN March, 1861, the Senate considered
and passed bill 10 incorporate the Metro
politan Railroad Company in the District
of Columbia. Mr.. SUMMER offered the fol-
lowing amendment TO the wording OF
which we call particular attention
provided that there shall be no regula-
tion excluding any person from tRy car on
account of color. at EMHtt
This amendment passed the Suate by
the close vote of nineteen to seventeen; the
following Republicans voting NJ: Doo-
LITTLE HARRIS, LANE of Indiana, SHERMAN
lof Ohio; TRUlrRULI- VAN WNR.E and
WILEY. These men did not believ,in the
doctrine of negro equality at that time;
land advocated the right of railrous to
make regulations whereby some carsnight
be appropriated to colored people and
Others tO white ppople. But our rrpreent-
lative could not see 1t in that light. lie
