II don't suit the editor Of the Intssh' |
oesoe. to be honest enough to acknowl
edge the tree intent of his party IN the
future In regard to negro suffrage and
negro equality but for fear Of commit
ting apolisioal snioide," he denies most
smphatically thai they are in favor
Of either.
1.-The is honest in his denial how can
he support SUMMER, PHILLIPS, STEvkNs,
BUTLER and the other leaders Of the
Radical party in their opposition to the
President, who is most undoubtedly OPP
posed to both.
The following are only specimens OF q
few of his friends opinions of negro
suffrage and equality, and, if space per-
mitted, we could present the proof OF all
of whom we have any knowledge
being of the same way of thinking.
"When the question of negro suffrage
comes up, as it will probably in three or
four years, I shall be ready to meet it,
and will say am not prepared to deny
that right of voting to the colored mar"
JOHN ". Geary.
"a negro has as much right to vote rs
an Irishman, and more" Thomas HH-
hanson.
GAS matter of selfprotection, as
matter of economy, the negro must vote"
l-B.F. Butler.
GAS for negro suffrage, the Convent IN
has said it must, shall, and will come"
j. ". Hunnicatt.
"What is to be gained by deferring
negro suffrage? Nothing! While every
thing is to be lost by vacillating, con-
ciliatory course. "-Anna Dickinson.
"The question of universal suffrage
will have to be discussed and finally
adopted; and advise you in the coming
contest not only to prepare your ballots,
but bullets, for the storm which is brew
ing."-Judge Hiestand.
II am in favor of giving equal and i'm
partial suffrage to the negro because he
that God Almighty has decreed that jus.
tice be done to all men. am in favor OF
equality before the law, and now bold
~ declare that am in favor of political
and social equality with the negro. -
John Hickman.
"Now, however, remember that I do not
say, and never mean to, that when the Sc
amendments, which I now propose, are
adopted, the rebel States shall be allow
ed to come in until they present consti-
tutiens containing the essence of liberty;
and when they do that will let them in
at any time. With regard to the ques-
ton of negro suffrage in the free States,
every one knows that am not afraid to
express my opinion. Everybody has n
right to vote and pay his taxes, and who
soever is governed by the laws has q
right to make them. was in the PeDn
sylvania Convention that amended the
Constitution, which put in the word
white and disfranchised large number
of voters. / voted against it, and while
every other man put his name to the
Constitution, that it might &c down to
posterity, / refused my name, and it is
| not among the signers; for / was not
proud of the instrument, and am not
now"
The above is al extract from the speech
vi lHAD. OlEN hNo on LnuOdoUCA, Ohh-
| sylvania, on the 9th of September. It
will be seen that the great Jacobin lead
or frankly avows that even if the South

not to be allowed to come into the Union
| until they accept negro suffrage! Thisi
then, is the real issue. Shall the Union
remain discovered until we get negro
sufragel -,
In addition to the above We would
call the attention of our readers to the
following nnouncement OF the coming
Of Governor MORTON to Evansville, In.
diana, lately. The Governor, by the
way, is one of the editors standard
autho, tiles, and his readers are treated
to speech of the Governors every now
and then to enable them Ito keep their
feet from evil and their tongues from
speaking guile"
