"A good character is to young man
what a firm foundation is to an archi-
tect, who proposes to erect building
on it; he can build with safety, and as
all who behold it will have confidence
in its solidity, a helping hand will
never be wanting. But let a single
part of this be defective, and you go on
hazard, amid doubling and distrust,
and ten to one it will tumble at last,
and mingle all that was built on its
ruins.

FLUEScT OF SPEEcH-The common
fuency of speech in many men, and
most women, is owing to a scarcity of
matter and scarcity of words; for
whoever is master of language and has
a mind full of ideas, will be apt in
speaking, to hesitate upon the choice
OF both whereas common speakers
have only one set of ideas, and one set
of words to clothe them in and these
are always ready at the mouth so peo-
pie come faster out of a church when
1T Is almost empty, than when a crowd
is at the door.-ISwiit.

Suffrage I'm virginia.


The following letter of Senator Wilson,
OF Massachusetts, to John C. Underwood.
will be read with great interest:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER, }
WASHINGTON, December II, 1867.
Hon. John C. Underuood:
My Dear Sir,-I have received your
note of yesterday, in which you ask nv
views touching the proposition to disfran-
chlse all persons in 1871 who cannot read
and write. If such proposition is seri-
ously pressed by any number of persons,
they are doubtless influenced in their ac-
ton by the reading and writing provision
IN the Constitution of Massachusetts,. That
provision disfranchised no one. It secured
the ballot to all who possessed it, and ap-
pifed the educational test only to those
VINO came of age Or were naturalized
after its adoption. IF the proposition is to
put into your Constitution the educational
test in 1871, to apply only to those who
come of age at that date, are naturalized,
or take up their residence in your State,
1t would be in accordance with the Oft
quoted provision in the Constitution Of Mas
sachusetts. Such provision might be an
incentive to young men Of both races to
better qualify themselves to exercise the
elective franchise. But to take from tens
OF thousands Of colored men to whom edu-
cation has been denied, and to whom suf-
rage has been given, right SO essential
to the security of their lives, liberty, and
property, and to disfranchise thousands Of
poor white men who have never enjoyed
the priceless blessings of common schools,
would be great wrong-a measure utterly
indefensible. Poor laboring men, more
than any other class Of men, need the bal
lot for security. Ignorance, if it be loyal,
liberty loving, and just, is safer than intel
llgence that is unpatriotic, unjust, and
selfish. No poor man in possession of
manhood suffrage shall ever have the bal
lot taken from him by my advice or with
my consent, unless for crime. When
slavery, the prolific mother of all our woes,
persisted; when the civil war ended, I
hoped to see nothing done for revenge, but
all for security. Heart, conscience, and
reason babe me strive to secure equal
rights for the black men, protection for
the loyal, and forgiveness for the disloyal.
1t seemed to me to be the duty Of patriot
ism, humanity, and Christianity to lift up
the poor, secure the rights Of the weak,
and to forgive the erring. l hope our
friends in your Convention, and in the
Conventions of other States, will inhexibly
maintain the equal rights of all, black and
white, and deal generously with those who
raised their hands against their country.
1t seems to me that the policy that shall
secure, hedge about, and guard the civil
and political rights Of all, and deal merci-
fully and generously with our erring coun-
trymen, will hasten the time, to be striven,
hoped, and prayed for, when the bitter
memories of the bloody conflict through
which we have passed will be forgotten in
the common enjoyment of impartial liber-
ty and equal justice, and in the general
prosperity and common renown Of our ma
tive land.
l am, dear sir, yours, very truly,
HENRY WILSON.
