RELIEF FOR THE CoLoRED PEOPLE,
There was meeting Of an association of Friends
Tor the relief of colored freedmen held at the
Arch Street Meeting House, last evening. They
discussed the measures necessary to relieve the
poor and destitute OF the colored race during
the coming winter. Urgent appeals were pre-
pared, calling on our citizens for aid. The
Society has engaged thirty-six teachers for the
freedmen, and has accepted several buildings
IRON Government to be fitted up for school pur-
poses. lt It
1t was suggested that the Society had peculiar
opportunities ior assisting the colored men, as
the motives OF the Friends were recognized and
appreciated by the people of the South and
hence the same hostility exhibited towards
others was not shown to this association. II
was decided to appoint committee to prepare
an address to the members OF the Society within
the yearly meeting, and the former COMMITTEE
on subscriptions was requested TO assist the
Executive Board in reaching the members oil
the association and soliciting funds,

all the facts connected with il brought before
us without saylng'anything against the parties
OF neis bbors. After the deliberation OF four or

THE STATE LEGISLATURES.

The New-York State Senate remains unchanged by
the elections of Tuesday last; with the exception OF
the XXVIIth District where John j. Wicks was
elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
Of Canal Commissioner Hayt the Senators hold
over. The Senate, therefore, stands % Repub-
licans to Democrats. The Members Of the Assembly
elected were "a Republicans and A Democrats; thus
giving the Republicans majority of 60 on JOINT BAL
lot This insures the election of a Radical United
States Senator to succeed Senator Harris.
In New jersey the State Senate contains 10 Repub-
licans and Democrats; the Assembly 80 Republicans
and q Democrats, giving on joint ballot the de-
cded Republican majority of IL, which guarantees the
election of Republican United States Senator to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Wright
The Massachusetts Senate il unanimously Radicals
the House stands 227 Radicals to Democrats.
The Maryland Legislature will be Democratic.
The Senate will contain Republicans and l6 Demo-
crats and the Assembly 81 Republicans to SO Demo-
Gratis, giving the Democrats majority of 46 on joint
ballot This will give the State a Democrat for
United States Senator to succeed Senator Cresswen.
Definite returns from the Western States have not
yet reached us. Enough however, is known to
determine the political complexion of the LegiSla-
lures in all the States They are uniformly RepuolI'
can. In Illinois, Mr.. Trumbull will undoubtedly
be returned to the United States Senate. Wis
consn will elect Senator Howe or
will send Radical to succeed him;
Kansas will do likewise in the case of Senator Pom.
eroy and will elect Radical to ill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Lane Missouri will
elect a Republican to succeed the Hon. b. Grat2
Brown, who declines reelection. Thus the gain in
New-Jersey will balance the loss in Maryland and
leave the gain of four Senators in the September and
October elections unreduced.

REGLSTRATION.

The World asserts that more people voted in our
City last Tuesday than would have done had
there been no Registry Law. We think many more
legal voters exercised their Right of Suffrage; but
there would have been far more rotes cast in the
absence of Registry. More men would have voted
twice or oftener and more would have voted who
were not legal electors, had there been registry
As it was illegal Votes casts but the regis
Try was a great barrier to all manner Of fraud.
The Worid talks Of the " difficulties which were
expected to deter poor people from coming to the
polls" There were no such. TwO-thirds Of the voters
in our City did not lose half hour each n getting
registered and voting combined, and there are few in
deed who were required to give an hour to both.
When we first voted in this Cay there vas but one
poll in a Ward and we waited swo hours Cor a chance
to vote and then left to return again, seeing that half
a day would be spent in reaching the poll. elections
were then held through three days. That was real
difficulty but it has been happily overcome, and
now voting in New.York is as easy as it need be. If
there be any districts wherein there are too many
voters the Common Council may divide and multiply
them indefinitely. The only " difficulty presented by
our present laws is difficulty in cheating and that
we trust will not be diminished.

Bitter experience forces the Union men Of Mary
land to the conviction at which their brethren q
Louisiana arrived through bloody test-that Impair.
tal Suffrage is the only defense of the loyal and the
only cure for the Rebel, in the South. The issue,
so long evaded and postponed, has rpened in Mary
land through the heat Of contest at the expense
OF those who fought to save the State which Others
attempted to destroy They can now well afford to
set the justice of Impartial Suffrage against the
wrong of this bad mishap; we doubt if anything but
defeat would have taught them, any other large
class of men in the South, the lesson. But it would
be strange if the men Of Maryland could not advance
to the same views which Judge Reagan of Texas

they stand seem inadequate or defective. But he
should first, at all events have publicly retracted the
charge of completely with the assassins of President
Lincoln, since he has virtually abandoned it by not

ven, and we never held any sort of communication
with him. But we are exceedingly socitous, first,
that the Union shall not be discredted in the eyes OF
the civilized world by the treatment accorded By its
Government to a prisoner of states secondly that
the South shall be impelled to treat its Black people
with that wise and fearless generosity which is but
anothername for justice. five could tomorrow have
Impartial Suffrage imposed aud submitted to, we
should very greatly prefer that it be decTeed by the
South essential to her own INTERNAL harmony, pros

dent that magnanimity toward Davis on the part OF
those who hold Impartial Suffrage to be an essential
element of National reconstruction, will powerfully
contribute to that juser appreciation Of the North al
the South which is the first step toward benciiccnt
aud perfect reconciliation

THE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE.

A French proverb says, ave cannot escape the
defects Of our exceences, and we have an lustra-
ton in the majorities in this City and Brooklyn. There
are certainly evils which attend the Democratic form
of government and not the least is the frequent sub
jugatiOn of an intelligent minority to an Ignorant
majority. The vote Of bad man balances the vote
Of a good man. The statesman and the Ounce
have equal power when they meet at the
ballot-bOX, and it is not pleasant when an election
proves it. Under respectable monarchy the corrup-
ton Of our City Government would soon be ended,
and in an empire wisely ruled, such men as those
guilty Of the New0rleans massacre would be promptly
punished. But in the Republic the Demagogue often
supplants the State" money purchases political
power and the big J.aces are filled by the lowest
men, These are the defects Of our excellences and
looking only at the defects, the monarehist assumes
that Democracy is a failure.
But take another proyerb, ''There is no corruption
80 bad as the corruption of the best" The beauty
of the Democratic principle makes its abuses more
conspicuous. The freedom professed made the
slavery permitted FAR detesable than slavery
can ever be under a monarchy; the peace we had so
long enjoyed made the war more terrible the order
UdItNheu u! tue people Hdue IcDelhOu HOIe re-
markabe. But these evils were not results Of our
Democracy, but protests against it. We grant that
there are evils which seem nseparabe from our Sys-
tenn of Government and arise from the ignorance and
the passions Of the people Democracy, which trusts
the people. takes a risk which monarchy avoids, but
almost universally it takes that risk safely, for popu-
lar peudceS aud passions neutralze each other, and
the average intelligence Of the people finds its level
in the end.
Deny the Democratic principle and you deny
Humanity Just as we could never fit the negro for
freedom by keeping him in Slavery, so nations can
never be improved by holding them in subsection to
any power, however wise and good it may be- Men
do not progress in good by the virtue Of their rulers
but through their own experiences the exercise of a
power is itself an education, and if the millennium is
ever reached, it will only be through that form OF
government which makes every man a cO-wOrker in
reform and progress Absolute good must have
universal basis. Even in this confusion We eau see
the working of the democratic principle br good;
even the present evil Of AndreY JobDsons Presidency

least able to use them to prevent greater evils.

In the XIth aud XVIII Wards, Geo. i. Stein.
brenner, an active and popular German Republican,
was our candidate for Congress, while Adolf Leyinger
was running for Assembly in the XlXth. Each of
them, we believe, drew ont every German vote that
could be obtained for our ticket generally, beside
many that could not; but for which, Gov. Ienton's
vote would have been still lighter. Yet, while the
aggregate vote is considerably increased, that for
Gov. Fcnton is decidedly reduced. And in the
City generally, but most sgnally in the Xh and
XVIII Wards, well known 10 be largely inhabited
by Germans
The aggregate vote Of our City is about two-thrds
foreign-born. From citizens Of Irish birth, Gov.
Fenton received more votes il lsGG than in 1854.
We estimate that be had quite rs many votes from
natives Of this country in G6 as in "a. Yet his vote
is nearly 5000 less than it was. That this loss is
mainly among the Germans is the general belief
and We deem il entirely correct.
OF course, Germans. like others, are at perfect
liberty TO vote they see it, aud for such reasons as
to them shall seem good. We claim only the right to
report facts and TO comment on them. The Ger
mans who voted for Lincoln and Fenton in 1854 are
not dissatisfied with him, nor with Congress, nor
averse to Radiealism" but many ofthem hostile
to any legislation which limits festiyity and jollity,
music and lager, on Sundays And most Of their jour
nails studiously conceal from their readers the fact
that our laws have, from time immemoral, prohibited
public amusements and social tipping on Sun.
days; so that there is nothing in the Excise act
OF last Winter which has not been in substance the
law Of our State for generations. The Sunday Liquor
Traffic in our City has always been under the ban OF
the law. II has prospered and increased because the
law was dsregarded. What the lager Germans
demand is that the law shall now be either subyerted
or not enforced. And if majority shall DO found to
agree with them, they will doubtless have their own
way But, if they should see fit to say, "True, we
are minorityj but we can so act politically az the
polls as to coerce the majority to submit to or
demand" we should not consider such action crcdi
table to them, nor seeordant with the spirit Of free
