Robert Dale Owen on Equal Rights.

This gentleman. formerly ai'Demo-
cratic member of Congress from this
district, and distinguished citizen of
Indiana, delivered lecture before
fhe1 Equal rights Association, in
York, on Saturday last. AS a mat
ter of interest to his friends in this
part of the State, and as an Indication
of the advance being made by some
of the leading, thinking men of the
country, we give an abstract of the lee
ture, as reported in the Tribune:
MIR. Owen said, that. in a country
like this, the success or failure of
such principle as that of equal rights,
is merely question of time. He
compared the progress of such prin-
clplc t., the current of the Mississippi.
A fiatboat once in that current and
kept there must reach New Orleans.
1t may go more slowly or more rapid
ly, as thesriver rises or-falls; it may
get aground In low water and be de-
tanned there: it may drift with an ed
dy when the current seems to run
backward; but If it survive at all it.
will reach Its destination at last. So
with the principle of equal rights. If
our country survives as a Republic,
we must reach it both as regards race
and sex. He then spoke in the man
ger, inswhich during the Rebellion,
Sod had overruled evil for good. We
did not at first intend emancipation.
Lincoln, great and good man as he
was, did not, during the first year of
the war, intend more than to leave
Slavery alone in the slave States and
exclude it from the Territories. Pres
idea and people were slow to learn
thai TO quell the rebellion, slavery
must De eradicated. Then, as to the
political rights of the negro he had
BEEN made soldier-not because it
was just in principle, that he should |
fight for his freedom, but because we
needed him to help us fight So, again,
as to his political rights. He Will OBJ |
tain them, not so much because the |
masses of the people have dismissed |
their prejudices against color, as be- |
the secession element which has so |
large a majority among Southern
whites. Nh Owen then spoke of
equal politica lrights gag between the
sexes, abiding ~ John Stuart Mills |
recent move in, the British Parlia-
mentg also. tethe act;on. Of Congress
on the subject last session; and to the
quite recent vote in the American In l
stitute of Homeopathy on the ques-
ton of admitting to membership prop
erly educated women. The vote had |.
been lost, sc yeas tos68 nays, but this
only to membership in the
institute, not to admission to practice.
MIR. Owen concluded by remarking
hat there is every encouragement for
in the effort to- obtain
equal rights for all citizens, irrespec-

What Constitutes a "Whfte .eitizen.

| An interesting case was presented
and decided In the First District
Court of Kansas, few days ago, in
volving the question of what consti
tutes a white - citizen. A man
whose father was white, and whose
mother was "a color between black
and mulatto, having one-fourth white
blood" brought suit in the Leaven-
worth Court against the Judges, of
Election for refusing to receive his
vote at the general election there,
held in November last. The question
presented was this: Is a man possess
ed of less than one-half negro blood
s1white male person" as described in
the State Constitution? Judge.
BREWER delivered an elaborate opiin-
ion on the question. admitting that by
common consent the class to which
the plaintiff belonged had heretofore
been deemed excluded from the con-
stitutional provision, and had nowhere
within the State been allowed to vote.
He argued, however, that when the
question was raised to- which of the
two races person belongs who has
the blood of each, hesais properly
adju dyed to belong to that race whose
blood dependencies in him. He ac-
eordingly rendered the decision that
the plaintiff s vote was improperly
rejected, and ordered that Judgment
be rendered in his favor, with norni- |
nal damages for one cent. This de-
cision possesses interest at this time
in several Northern States where an
algous questions are under discussion.

Indfscreet FrieHas-The Next Gov
x erHOF.


We regret to see disposition on
the part of certain Republican pa
pers in Indiana tor discuss so
early and prernaturely the per
sonal merits and fitness of prominent
gentlemensof the party for the Guber-
Material race of 1868. In the south
eastern part of the State there are a
few newspapers which are advocating
the nomination of our excellent
friend, Col. WILL. CUMRAcK, which,
if they deem it the proper time, they
have .he right to do While we think
all such discussion. is premature, SO
far in advance of the canvass or con-
vention, we osprotest against such
invidious comparisons as are made by
the Lawrenceburg Press and possibly
two or three county papers against
our present worthy Governor,
CONRAD BAKER. Never has the
Executive chair of Indiana been
filled by-a-more universally popular
man, or one IN whom the people high
and low, had greater confidence than
Governor BAKERss and the only
effect ofsueh comparisons willbe that
they will react upon the person whose
interests these indiscreet friends seek
to promote. Isl e i.: + -. I.
We have authentic information
that Col. CUMBAcK is not candidate
for the nomination for Governor on
the Republican ticket, and that he is
in favor of Governor BAKER for that
position, as matter of party justice,
and because of his eminent fitness for
the office. Even should he be in
duced to accept a nomination under
any circumstances, we are too well
with Coll CUMBAcK to
believe that he would countenance
such a method of procuring his party
preferment. Indiscreet friends should
not seek to increase his popularity By
invidious criticism upon Governor
