H6S~ Why is it that northern men
refuse to give the colored race the right
to vote in their own States while they
force it on the south ? Will some radi-
cal answer this question: Ifthe African
is not worthy of vote in the northern
States, where he has had all the neces-
sary advantages of education, and has
been trained in freedom all his life, how
is his southern residence and ignorance
to make him 500 Does any colored man
believe that they who will not let his
colored brother vote in their own State
mean any good to the colored people by
letting them vote here2 No. The
secret is that they make the black man
the instrument to gain political power to
themselves. They will crush him here,
when they have done using him, just as
they do at home.
The white race of this country is in
creasing by immigration and otherwise
two millions year. The black race
cannot increase by immigration, and is
even thought to be decreasing Now, no
people ever ruled any part of the world
long who had no forecsste-who could
not see into the future. Has the African
this forecaste Will Frederic Douglass
tell them they can rule, when, twenty
years from to-day, the whites will num-
Der hundred millions in this country,
and they probably not fve2 Win he
tell them it is for their interest to aspire
TO rule, when they know not how, and
when their northern friends refuse them
a vote at home, and are likely soon
to do it here. There never
was more absurd thing un-
dertaken in the world. Aud if the
colored race do not find it out they will
only be the sufferers, and the prey of
harpies who are after Offices and money
at their expense and the expense of the
people. The Radical party is now using
them for its swn purposes, and they will
never get any benefit The Radicals get
more than half of the two aud half
cents pound the colored man is uow
paying tax on the cotton he raises-it
don't half 20 TO the Government, nor
any other taxes. Are not the eolored
men getting lauk and lean while the
Hougbs and Lewises strut and grow fat
If the more intelligent among them viii
think about it they will find that we are
right, and that if they vote in the next
elections they should pick out some good
men and vote down these Office hunters
and vampires Not one will ever get
another Office by the vote Of the colOred
man, II once his true interests are under
stood BY him. Some one recommends
as a sovereign panacea for pecuniary
difficulties that we should put the
thieves cut Of Office and put honest men
in" That will do more for Us than all
the twaddle, and al the machinstions Of
any party FOR a thousand years Sup

Effect of Impeachment Upon Government
Bonds Abroad. NrlIH

The careful correspondent Of the Bal
timore Sun quotes General Grant as
expressing his qualification at the result
of the late elections, as they would have
the effect of checking the extreme meas
ures now urged by some, and thus lessen
any danger ofrevolution. Our iniorma-
ton is, that General Grant did in sub
stance utter the remarks attributed to
him. and this view of the subject is so
inst and obvious that we cannot doubt
that il has had no small share in produ-
cling the gratifying result we now wit
ness. The fact is that business men are
beginning 10 see that the clamor of the
Radicals for impeachment, aud their
known readiness for revolutionary resorts
is already having most baleful effect
upon the public interests, and especially
upon the value of our national securities
abroad. 1t is the incessant agitation OF
this subject, and the refusal of the Radi-
Gals to admit the South to just repre-
sentation, that makes an American bond
in Europe actually worth less in the
market than British bond, which pays
half its interest To the mind of a
foreign bondholder impeachment means
revolution, with all its contingencies, risk
10 the whole system of taxation and
finance, and, above allS risk of a
civil war. He will ask himself what is
his guaranty that a successful revolu-
tionary party will not scale his bond, or
repudiate it altogether; or, as the Radi-
Gals are now doing, launch the Govern
ment upon a sea of profuse expenditure,
thus rendering payment impossible.
They will need, of course, to pay the
chiefs of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie for their share in the work of the
revolution and thus, in one way or
another, it will be utterly out of the |
power of the Treasury to redeem the |
National faith.
With such reflections as these land |
they are already crowdiug upon his |
mind) the foreign bondholder will quietly |
send his bonds back to New York for
disposition at whatever sum they will
bring in the market His neighbor will
soon learn the fact, and will initiate the
example by the next steamer. 1t will
not take long to complete the process
after the moneyed men should once
see that this business of impeachment
is. to be seriously and strongly at
tempted. 1t is for the capitalists and bust
ness men of the country to say how they
would be affected by such an influx and
depreciation of Government
securities, and whether the inevitable
panic and ruin it would occasion fur
nishes no motive for activity on their
part to avert such catastrophe Moth
ing less than an overwhelming expression
at the polls will suffice to turn these
madmcn from their course and assure
peace to the country National IHtelH-
yencer.

saAs In the Washington correspon
dence of the Louisville Courier, dated
Washington, the 10th, the following
paragraphs occur, which indicate little
backbone in the President Better late
than never. The correspondent says:
In response to question Of his course,
should the Radicals attempt to depose
him before trial, he said Resist, sir,
with all the power which the Constitu-
ton furnishes for its own protection
and preservation. This was said
with great warmth and earnestness.
1t would be criminal, he said, not
to resist an effort on the part of Con-
gress to usurp or destroy the Executive
department, and be thought it well for
the country to know his opinions and
purposes. In relation to Cabinet
changes, he said he would strengthen
himself for an emergency that might
arise. Circumstances, he said, necessl-
taied change, and this should be done
before Congress met in session.
The President declared he would not
consult or be governed by party cliques,
but act on his own judgment and for
what he thought was the best interest Of
the country. 1t was his intention to
draw around him men of nerve, ability,
and patriotism.
In answer to an inquiry about General
Sherman, be said: i can assure you
that General Sherman will be here be-
tween the 10th and 18th of November,
and in ample time for the discharge of
any duty, however responsible, which
may devolve on him." The General, he
further said, had deemed it best to return
to his command to meet the Indian
Peace Commission, as he had promised,
and, that done, he would return forth
with to Washington. .z..5sr.s
The President evidently expects to
avert any trouble by being prepared to
meet it.
The correspondent affirms that the
authority to repeat these statements is
with the full permission of the President,
who expressed himself as thinking that
the Radical leaders, instead of being
checked by the recent elections, would
" become even more desperate, and hest
tate at nothing to accomplish their revo-
lutionsry purposes" The only sensible
or honest course he can pursue
is to meet and resist them firmly. To
do less will prove that he is in fact re-
creant to the obligations of his oath, and
nerveless from personal apprehensions
of evil to himself. The President, who,
in such circumstances hesitates to de-
fend the prerogatives of the Executive
department of the government deserves
not the respect of any citizen.

Bishsp WhitehOuse, of Illinois, was an
admirable production, and quite as wise
and judicious in what was left unsaid as
it was in its general drift and richness of
