The n Y Times smartly says:
None know better than tbs TRIBUNE that tho Republican
organization exist hour upon ITS Universal Negro
Suffrage Platform And yet not only insists upon inserting
that feature into our political oreod but for that offers 70 sur
render everything else Ibis Offer shameless as 1t Is has
been mad, and reiterated Yes for Equal Suffrage, az
The TRIBUNE phrases it, Mr.. Greeley problems his readiness
to give Up ese admitting the Rebel States and their Rebel
Representatives, into the Union and into Congress demand.
Ing no guarantees for the National Debt and civil rights
for the freedmen it dare5 lHE IEBuAE viii deny tbs 10
inOrrow."
We beg The Times TO understand, once for OIL
that our platform (THE TRIBUYEs-not that of any
party)-is UNIVERSAL AMNESTY IMPARTIAL SUI
FRAGE We have said this often enough, plainly
enough TO have it clearly understood by this times
and we neither "dare nor wish to deny it to-day, to-
morrow, nor at any time whatever. We are not, and
never were in favor of Universal Negro Suffrage, nor
Universal White Suffrage, nor any Suffrage whatever
for thieves rowdieS, blackleg nor any of those who
live idly, useessly pernicously but we would have
all men vote who earn an honest livelihood and seek
to qualify themselves to vote wisely and worthily.
And in fixing the qualifications of a legal voter we
would make no account whatever Of color.
With Impartial Suffrage at the South, we need no
other guarantees for the civil rights Of the Freedmen
the reputation of the Rebel Debt, nor for the ILL
tegry and tranquility of the Union. With Impartial
Suffrage South Carolina is and and ever was a loyal
State--quite as loyal as Indiana. We surrender y
nothing in accepting tho best possible guaranty for
the preservation of the Union and for Justice to the
Negro instead Of others, palpably inferior If not Illus
DRY. pyramid which rests on its base is not likely
to toppe down; and government by the whole
People ia the best possible security against such
public perils as were illustrated in the Shareholders
Rebellion.
Says Tbs Times in continuation:
"FOr THE TRIBUNE to rebuko bolt Is simply ludicrous.
Journal that dsregsrds party discipline as often as ITS
caprces preludices prompt makes itself ridiculous In
1855 endeavofed to break down the Republican organization
in this State by urging the election Of that collapsed sPosiae
'bolted the Republican nomination for Mayor Of this CITY
ard although Mir. Roberts polled $1,000 votes The
TRIBUNE drew off just enough to elect Democrat"
No, Sir, THg TRIBUNE does not rebuke bolt"
but the deceit the swinde, of pretending to sustain
an organization which you are conspiring TO subver
aud overthrow. Bolt in welcome, tho whole bakers
dozen Of you but don't pretend that you are not
boiling when you are We did advise the Union
party to renominate Controller Robinson last Fall
he being then identified with no party-because We
deemed him eminently fit for the po5t-and we do
not regret it. Our choice was oyerruled and we
acquiesced, but we have nothing to retract. Aud we
supported last December, the candidates for NUM-
cipa Offices presented by the Citizens Association
though some Of them were Democrats and we ex-
pect to do just nert December We are very
sorry that we commended some as reiormcrs who
have since proved robbers More of these, we
grieye to say, arc Unionists than Democrats. But
We supported them expressly as Reform candidates
we never commended them as candidates of the Union
-, of fha (tit
Reform Association. And, though we at first under
stood Mr.. Hecker to be Republican (haying known
him as a Free soiler in Isis) supported him just
as heartily after he was shown 10 be Democrats and
we now deeply deplore his deeat-not at all for his
sake, but for the City's. Bolt, then Randaltes
bolt freely and with all your might but do Mt pre-
tend that you are not boiling when you are Break
down. II you can the party which has so long honored
and fed YOU but spare your ifthrb stabs and judas
kisses We ak nothing more.
