CHE Late Elections East and west Grant

Che Late EleC tiOns East and West-Grnnt
VS.. Chase.
From 1e ~ T. Herald
East and West, in every State where it has
been made the test, this unpalatable, imprao-
ticable and dangerous proposition of universal
negro suffrage has resulted in revolt in the
Republican ranks, and in formal notice to the
radical managers of the Republican party that
their reign has ended, that wiser leaders and
better counsels must take their places, that the
conservative Union elements Of the country
are in motion for new organization and new
departure for the Presidential election, and
that General Grant is their man.
Beginning with the October elections, we
find that in Pennsylvania, where the Republ-
cans avoided this direct test of universal negro
suffrage, and avoided, too, any agitation of the
Presidential claims of Mr.. Chase, they lost the
State, on a light vote, by less than thousand
majority. But on the same day in Ohio, and
on the largest popular vote ever polled in the
State, and where the claims of Mr. Chase as a
Presidential candidate and universal negro
suffrage were distinctly before the people,
they lost the State Legislature, and thereby
radical United States Ssnator-"Old Ben
Wade"-and had their negro suffrage amend
ment to the State Constitution voted down by
q sumner from the same people who had re-
iected Vallandigham and his Copperhead here
sizes by one hundred thousand majority.
But the leading organs Of Mr.. Chase, East
and West, Immediately put in the plea that
he was not responsible for these results in
Ohio, although personally experimenting the
battle on the Republican side. 1t was ar
ranged, accordingly, by his radical managers
in New York, to give him a fair trial in our
November election. They took the matter in
hand at Syracuse, they set up their candidate
in platform, including universal negro suf-
frage, and behold the result 1t is astound-
ing, overwhelming, and beyond all question is
decisive against Mr.. Chase and his negro suf-
frage and financial policy and his pretensions
as Presidential candidate. 1t was every-
where understood that if the Republicans car
ried this State it would be considered as the
voice of New York in favor of Mr.. Chase,
and it was generally believed that his success
in New York would make sure his nomination
for the Presidency by the Repu blican National
Convention. 1t was even broadly hinted in
advance of the election, that the success of the
Republican State ticket would be equivalent
to the nomination of Chase and Fenton, and
this is the scheme which has been so signally
overthrOwn. Mr.. Chase and his negro suf-
frage and financial platform are cast out, and
the voice of the Empire State inaugurates a
reconstruction of the solid, genuine Union
elements of the country under the standard of
General Grant.

white inhabitants generally, OF course they
are kind and fair in their dealings with him,
as they are deeply interested in his prosperity.
Yet Congress, animated by mere spite and
malevolence, without the slightest necessity
or provooatiOn, has disfranchised n large BODY
of the most intelligent whites, and by giving
the suffrage to all the blacks has handed over
to them the government of the entire South.
We see the result in Virginia."
We have made no attempt to extenuate the
result Of the late elections in Virginia. We
have our own opinion of the gentry who have
there undertaken the task of 'leading" the
blacks, and have expressed it very freely. But
that such people should get control of the
blacks at the outset, and having got control of
them should abuse it, was naturally to be ex-
pected. The liability of the freedmen to be
mlsled by demagogues on their first entrance
into political life is one Of the unfortunate
results of their having been so long degraded
slaves; and the proper medicine for this weak
ness is, we take it, participation in the Govern
ment. To regard the existence of the weak
ness as a reason for not attempting to apply
the remedy, is about as sensible as refusing to
teach man to swim owing to the certainty
that at first he would probably founder a good
deal and get his head under water
Moreover it must not be forgotten that the
large negro majOrities are due in the main to
the intentional abstinence of the whites from
voting phenomenon OF the same kind is by
no means unfamiliar at the North-the refusal
of the rich and well educated to vote or take
any active interest in public affairs, through
disgust or despair or love of ease. II has
been and is constantly witnessed in this city,
and with deplorable results. New York is
governed by as ignorant class and one more
depraved than even the worst of the negroes
but the disgust and neglect of the rich and
educated usually call down denunciation on
them rather than on the class to which they
leave the work of government. Moreover,
if we once admit that the negroes ought to
be disfranchised wherever the whites
choose to abstain from voting, we of
course surrender the game. 1t being once
established that if the whites do not vote the
negroes are to blame, the whites will stop
voting all over the South and leave us to do
the rest for them. A more absurd principle
it would be impossible to introduce into
politics. The true way, in my opinion to make
the whites take their proper part in the
government of the South, is to show them
that if they choose to sulk they will be ruled
by the blacks. If they are once made sure of
this, which as yet they are not, we venture TO
predict they will soon take an active part in
elections,
