WISE WORDS FIFTY SPOKEN.

Mr.. GREELY's speech at Richmond
offered counsel wise and pertinent. We
copy the last paragraph
Men of Virginia I entreat you to
forget the years Of slavery, and seees-
sion, and civil war, now happily past, in
the hopeful contemplation Of the better
days of freedom, and union, and peace,
now opening before you. Forget that
some of you have been masters, others
slaVes-some for disuniOn, others against
it-and remember only that you are all
Virginians, and all now and henceforth
freemen. Bear In mind that your State
is the heart of a great Republic, not
the frontier of a weaker COnfederacy,
and that your unequalled combination
Of soil, timekr, minerals, and water pow
er, fairly entitle you to a population of
five millions before the close Of this CEN
tury. Consider the natural highway of
empire-the shortest and easiest route
from the Atlantic to the heart of the
Great Valley-lies the James river and
down the KanaWha, and that this city,
with its mill power superior to any other
in our country but that of st. Anshony's
Falls on the Mississippi, ought to insure
you speedy development of manufao-
lures surprising any Lowell or Law
renee, with population Of at least half
a million, before the close of this cen
tury. 1 ezOrt you, then, Republicans
and Conservatives and blacks, to bury
the dead past in mutual and hearty good
will, and in general, united effort to
promote the prosperity and ezalt the
glory of our long distracted and bleed
ing, but hencefOrth reunited, magnif-
cent country y

KENNEDY IN TWO ACTS.

SUPERINTENDENT KENNEDY, who is
put at the head of the New York Police
through the force of radical legislation
and against the wishes of the people, re-
cen tly issued an order, closing ali stores
and shops in that city on Sunday. Ba-
kers were not to furnish their customers
with bread, BARRIERS shave the bearded,
nor was any other kind of business to be
transacted. Kennedy was to have one
day OfsOlemn piety but Kennedy back
ed out. He failed to come to time, as
the pugilists say. He revoked his own
order before Sunday occurred; and so
sinners were permitted to sneeze, chew
tobacco, and fog their unruly offspring
for another Sabbath. Kennedy is a great
man. He is the same individual who
discovered that President Lincoln was to
be killed in Baltimore, when he was first
elected. by having the train upon which
he was travelling thrown from the track.

CIRCULATE DEMOCRATIC PAPERS.

We do not know of any way-and we
speak entirely without regard to personal
interest-in which Democrats can do so
much towards advancing the success of
their principles as by encouraging in
every manner they can devise, the circu-
latiOn of sound and vigorous journals
The more political experience we obtain,
the better we are convinced that the key
note of ultimate victory is to be found in
this idea. 1t has long been a stigma up
on the Democratic party that it never
gives its journals as liberal support as
our opponents, and to this negligent
spirit may easily be traced the secret Of
its past defeats, and prostrated condition
at present. In the oanvasses that have
taken place since 1860, we were not met
with diseussiOn-We were beaten by abuse.
Such warfare could not have been sue
cessfully waged by our opponents had
the circulation of sound Democratic pa
perS through the country been pushed
with all possible Vigor The passions of
people cannot be made the foundation of
political success, if the people are made
to listen to argument and reason. This
can be effected in no other manner than
by a wide diffusion of the Conservative
press. The times are threatening. We
know not when the storm clouds may
burst. The people should be educated
for the probable emergency. We will
guarantee that every additional copy of
staunch Democratic paper circulated in
any neighborhood, will bring in harv-
est of an additional freeman to vote, or,
if necessary, a patriot to strike on the
side of law and order. Let our friends
reflect on this point, and they will say
that it is well taken.-Zanes0iHs Signal.

Who BIDS 2-Ex-G Todd, Donn
Piatt, and about all other Radicals, DOS
sessing any amount of sense, including
Gov. Cox, have declined the nomination
for Governor on the Radical ticket this
fall. Why is this ? There must be
some potentreason, else these ambitious
men would not thus decline so honora-
Bile a position as being Governor of
Ohio. We rather suspect there are two
reasons for 1.-THE first is, they do not
want to be placed as a standard bearer
under the black flag ofNegro Equality,
where they will be compelled to defend
negro suffrage and negro equality. The
second is, the very probable chances of
the Radical candidate for Governor be-
ing defeated next October. Even Gran
vile Moody refuses to make the race
and when such as he declines, who would
aceeptl We are told that the Radical
committee at Columbus are thinking of
advertising for a negro equality eandi-
date. If no white man will take it, per-
haps some black man can be had-that
would be more appropriate and fitting.

as a choking fit Of laughter would let
her:
" "Well, upon my word, Captain con-
sideriDg the unusual circumstances Of the
case, and your present surroundings, it
was hardly necessary for you to enter so
much into particulars"
When the innocent Captain got home,
he found to his amazement that the Sew

SUFFRAGE.-Sufrage is not a natural
but a conferred right, and with US il
Ohio, it is arbitrarily conferred at pre-.
sent upon all "White males above the
age Of tWenty-one years, and upon none
other. The advocates of what is called
''manhOod suffrage, universal suffrage,
Impartial suffrage" &C., &C., are sim
ply aud exclusively the advocates of ne
gro suffrage, as everybody understands
those terms. They seem to imsgine that
suffrage would be both impartial" and
universal" if they could only succeed
in comforting it upon the negroes ! Why
is this ? Why does it not occur to them
that our generally we'll educated and in
selligent young 106ite men might be in
trusted with the ballot at the age of say
eighteen years They were deemed of
sufficient age to fight for the country +;
why is it not worth while to demand the
same privilege for them that is pressedso
persistently for thenegro? Is not a young
white man, who can fight for his coun-
try, entitled to the benefit of the same
argument that is urged for the negro ?
One would think so. We are also told
that the loyalty of the negro has been
tested, and that that virtue alone carries
with it the right to vote. Loyalty, they
tell US, is the only true suffrage qualif-
cation but they somehow never dream
Of loyalty except as being bound up in
black hide. Driven in their idolatry
of the negro to adopt standard of suf-
frage so broad and so comprehensive,
how very queer tits, that they yet mar
row and restrict its application to ne
groes, thus making palpable distinctions
not only on account of color, but in be-
half of color Why should they so Sc
Verely ignore the class of whites we have
referred to pa class which, in addition
to loyalty, as reliable at least as that of
the negro, comprises infinitely more in
telligence and general worth. In short,
if loyalty is the true test, and the only
one that should be set up, may we not
hope that arbitrary distinction on ae-
count of age (to say nothing of SEX as
we'll as those based upon color, shall
cease to be interposed between that Vir-
tue Of virtues and the rights which it is
claimed that it oonfers logan Gazette.
