SOME If t'se most prominent Of tho Nes'

support PRECEDENT Johnson's plan Of restora-
tion- The following extract from Lanes
speech presents dilemma that would bother
the most astute Eastern disunioniss to meet
fairly:
] laugh to scorn any man, especially any
Kansas man, who would advocate the extern
sion of suffrage TO the colored man in the
Southern States and deny it to him in his
own State. (Applause. / was talking the

this city, ON this subject of colored suffrage
One was advocating the extension of the
suffrage in the Southern States 1 asked
him what about extending the right of suf-
frage TO the colored men of Kansas7 Oh,
he was not in favor of that Another man
responded and said he supposed the reason
he was in favor of extending suffrage to the
black man in the South and not in Kansas
was, because the plantation blacks were SO
much better qualified than our own Laugh
ter.) That closed the conversation.
II you meet the question at all, meet it
boldly, squarely, and honorably IF the
Constitution gives to Congress the right
to fix the status Of suffrage In Louisiana
and South Carolina, Il gires IL the same
right IN Kansas and C6nnecticm, and Wiscon-

NEGRO suFrRAGErN THE DISTRICT.

BY last nights news we learn that the bill
comforting the right OF suffrage ON the me-
groes in the District Of Columbia passed the
House Of Representatives in Congress on the
18th by q vote Of ll6 10 50. The intensest
Interest was manifested, and the applause in
the galleries by the negroes present was very
great
During the pendency Of the question
motion was made to postpone until March.
This was voted against by the Democrats
and conservative Republicans. On its final
passage fifteen Of the moderate Republicans
voted with what are termed Democrats
against the measure. The thirty-seven
friends Of the Union under the constitution
who voted against Colfax Cor Speaker, are
thus increased to fifty-two. II Is said that
John VAN Buren, was in Washington at the
time and expressed desire that the bill
should pass and go TO the President.
Before il becomes law Ii must meet the
appreciation Of the Senate, and then receive
the signature OF the President IL il secures
these il will be the law OF the District OF
Columbia.
il will be remembered that a vote was
taken 81 the District, few weeks since, ex-
pressing the wishes Of the people on this
subject. They were almost unanimous
against e; aud IL all the male negroes

question whether that body will undertake

pressed positively their disapprobation.

upon as an unfortunate occurrence, which will
result unfavorably to the people Of the South.
Against such an influence respectfully enter my
earnest protest. and, to substantiate this protest
wish II TO be distinctly understood that have re-
ceived from every source in the city, entitled to
respect confidence. the most heartfelt assurances
Of sympathy. with declarations of regret. which
lead TO the conviction that my assailant is not
supported in his act by the moral sense of the

here who applaud the act because II was an assault
on a loyal man--a Yankee as they would say
