The Negro i'm the Free States

The radicals in the north are exhaust.
ing language and tactics in enforcing free
or negro suffrage upon the south, and
from their pro~testations and pcrsistency
an uninterested observer might think they
were impelled solely by q love of the col
ored race, and Il sincere desire FOR their
advancement in the scale of social, mora
and political progress. Not so, however.
as is readily seen by a reference to facts
and figures. In New York, in 1860. a
vote was had on a proposition to permit
negro suffrade without a property qualif-
cation, and the vote stood, yeas l97. 500,
nays 1884, the majority against un-
qua.luei negro suffrage being l40,4S1.-
In 1854 a like proposition was defeated by
a ma ority of l3S, $3.50. the vote being for
the proposition S5,406, and against it
224,336. In 1862 a vote was had in Hi,
nois on several propositions relating to ne,
groes, and there was a majority of 100,
5oI in favor of excluding them from the
State. OF the proposition to confer upon
negroes the right of suffrage, the vote
stood for the proposition, 35,649. and
against it 22l,920. In October, 1865, a
vote was taken in Connecticut upon a
proposition to so amend the constitution
OF that State as to confer suffrage upon the
negro, aud the vote stood for the amend.
ment, 27,2l7, and against it. 33,4S9, there
being a majority of 6273 against negro
suffrage. In the same year a vote was
taken In Wisconsin to extend suffrage to
negroes, and resulted in a majority of s.,
so aSalast the extension, the vote being
46,629 in favor of negro suffrage, and 55.
454 against it. 1t is a curious fact that
the soldiers vote stood for negro suffrage
$40, and against it !, $50. In September,
1868, a vote was taken in Colorado Terri
tory on the adoption of a State Constitu-
ton and on the proposition to strike the
word white" from the qualification of vo-
tiers, the ayes were 476, aud the noes t.
1872, showing a majority of 3,716.
Thus, we see, wherever the proposition
to confer the right of suffrage upon the
negroes has been submitted to the PEOPLE
of the Free States, it has been defeated
IN some instances by tremendous majors
ties. This fact is incontrovertible. and
illustrates. more torcibly than any thing
could do, the utter insincerity and
hypocrisy of the radical leaders,
object is not really the advancement
and amelioration of the condition of the
but the oppression, and, if possible,
the degradation of the white people south.

Election In GEORGETOWN.

The first municipal election under the
district suffrage act took place in George,
town on Monday and resulted in the elect
ion of the candidate for Mayor nominated
by the negroes. There was, as a conse-
quence, great rejoicing among the latter.
The democrats carried both branches of
the city council.
The registry shows OIL negroes and L.
$50 whites. At 8 o'clock the polls were
opened, and a rush of voters, without dis
~tiuction of color, commenced. The votes
of several colored men were rejected be,
cause they could not be identified. and a
few on the ground of minority. This ac>
ton of the judges delayed the colored vo-
ters somewhat: requiring them to make
oath as to identity and age. Great exer-
ton was made BY each party to bring vo-
ters to the polls. During the entire day
there was less drunkenness and disorder
than usual upon the streets.
Chas. D. WEIGH, radical, was elected by
a majority of SO votes, over Henry AdGi-
son, the present Mayor, who was the con
seryatiTe white mans candidate. A larger
number of councilmen on the Addison
ticket are elected.

1t was asserted last evening by a promi
nent Republican Senator that he had the
pledge Of six Democratic Senators. wht
would not, under any circumstances, boil
the Senate On the Hughes bill. The De,
mocracy of Indiana would like to know
those names. They would be handed
down to posterity with infamy and dis
grace.-Andianapohs Herold.
The Democratic Senators who lacked the
courage to Illustrate the damnable schemes
of the Radicals in gerlymandering the
State for their own advancement. ought to
be published to the world. that their names
might be LANDED down to posterity' as
infamous apostates. The Hughes boiling
bill is wrong in principle, degrading to the
Legislature, and would have justified bolt
ing. The only ecoarse the Democracy
have to defeat the revolutionary
schemes of the Radicals, when they press
their appointment and sundry other OBJ
noxious bills. is to resign and return to
their constituents. IF the Radicals sue
coed in passing the appoitionment bill the
Democracy might as we'll Migrate. as they
will be without representation in Congress
and in the State Legislature. Just think
Democratic voters having but
one Representative in Congress, while
160 900 Republicans haze ten members.
Let the names Of the recreant Senators be
published.
Their names-their human names-;o every age,

UTAH..

Gen. Hazen has addressed a letter from
Jefferson barracks, to Representative Bid
we'll, who had requested a report of his
observation of affairs in Utah, while there
in October last. He says:
II think it important that the Gevern>
ment should, in some way, strengthen its
authority in this territory, and at the same
time increase, by every means possible,
our friendly relations with those people,
and elevate their intelligence till they
come to feel that they are a part of the
United States, and that we are their
trends. Harsh measures will only the
more strongly consolidate them. The
lands Of the Territory are still held by
The Government. If it is the intention ia
give actual title to Mormon occupants. on

One of the Results OF the Bolt
ing Bill.

One of the most disastrous effects of all
lowing the Boiling Bill to pass the Legis.
lature IS now apparent in the new appor>
tionment bills, both Legislative ard Con,

State has been gerrynandered makes it
next to an lmpossibility for the Democrats.
even if they had 20. 900 majority in the
State, to secure a majority in the Legisla-
ture. This swindle could have been pre-
vented if the Democratic Senators oplv
had the pluck, the irmness and the deter.
mination to act as the necessity of the case
demanded--to Joh, and leave in a body
leave the State, if necessary. We believe
a majority of the Democratic members fa>
vored this plan, but a few of the more tim.
id ones refused, and declared their inten.
ton to remain. Enough of this class
would remain to form a quorum with the
Republicans, SO that those who would bolt
saw no obJect In leaving. and, of course,
stayed. They may as well have done so.
We should like to know the names of the
cowardiy skunks who stayed in their seats
and indirectly helped the radicals to dis

trlcts. 1t would do us good to publish
their names, thlt the Democratic public.

The Legislature will adjourn March

that much of the legislation of the present
session is purely partisan, designed, not
for the good of the people, but if possible
thereby to secure the continued ~ascenden>
cy Of the radicals in Indiana.
OF this sort are tie Apportionment Bills
whereby the State has been most outrage>
ously ge%rrymandered to secure what it is
hoped will prove a permanent rule by rad
icals. As the Senatorial and Representa-
tive Districts are now constituted the De-
mocracy must have a large majority in the
State, elect all the State officers. and ct
the same time and by the same votes the
Senate and House of Representatives be
largely Republican. This should not be:
the majority should rule, and by a fair
apportionmen. it would do so. The DOM
inant party were unwilling to trust the
popular mind, aud by an outrageous swim
Gle and frau1, seek to deprive the people
of a fair representation in the legislature.
If there is any moral sense left in the
Republican party, we think the corrup-
%tionists who have thus deprived a large
number of the people of this State of their
just rights will ere long meet the reward
due to their crimes. Notwithstanding
this fraudulent move by the fuglers at
Indianapolis, We expect to see them "holst-
ed by their own petard' and driven from
place aud power BY an indignant people,
never to return.
There are a number of other important
acts Of strictly party legislation which
have been passed during the paesent ses>
sion, but We have not time just now to
speak Of them in detail as they deserve.
To food the State with negroes, place
them as far as possible on a civil and po-
litical equality with the white race, and
to support, Encourage and reward the vii
est of their party chums, seems to have
been the great motive power which impell-
ed them in their course. Governed BY
such motives and performing such acts,
the majority in the Legislature must go
home at the close Of the session, and it
remaius to be seen whether they will be
sustained by their constituents.
