Negro Suffrage.

The rchite democracy of the north,
comprising every sympathizer with the
rebellion, every skulking dcserter, and
camp followers generally, Is now en-
gagged in demonstrating that there is
some danger of the negro becoming
their equal, and charge the republicans
with Il design TO give them universal
suffrage. There is no such question up
in Pennsylvania, nor is there likely to
be. So far as We are concerned we
arc satisfied that the resolution adopt
ed by the Union County Committee
last week embodics the sentiment of Il
large majority of all classes in this
State, and We are equally satisfied if
such an amendment were submitted to
the people of Pennsylvania not more
than one tenth would favor it. This,
in great measure. is owing first TO
popular prejudice, and secondly to
the blacks themselves, too many OF
whom, instead OF taking advantage of
opportunities to elevate and improve
themselves, are induIging in idle and
dissOiute habits, and thus giving
strength to the prejudice against them.
In the South it is IL grave and i'm
portant question how far we should 20
towards giving them political rights,
for the true question there is, "Wheth.
er WHITE REBEL is better qualified to
become citizen than a LOYAL BLACK
MANI The prejudice spoken of above
will probably exclude them from suf-
frage in the late rebel States; but if so,
what man who desires the welfare of
his country will advocate the right of
rebels with hands yet reeking with
the blood of northern martyrs, not on
ly representing themselves, but also
the loyal blacks. This however is
precisely what the northern patent
democrats and copperheads are advo-
eating; and we suspect when the ,chite
people once get To understand that
the hypocriticaI cry of "negro equali-
ty," "white mans government" &c,
simply means that thirty or forty thou
sand white rebels shall exercise as
much political power as a hundred
thousand white men in the north, they
will leave q set Of men vino advocate
such unequal power. even if it is done
it the name Of democracy.
