MANHOOD SUFFRAGE.

We confess to feeling of humiliation
over the defeat of the Constitutional
Amendment in Ohio by which that State
was to have given the right of suffrage to
her colored people. We thought that
the people Of this land had had instruc-
ton enough to give them clearness Of
vision, not Is say greatness of heart, on
this question.
We do not see how man could have
had wisdom and patriotism sufficient to
make him vote the Republican ticket dur
ing the war, and how that same man
can now be an opponent Of manhood sui
frage. It would seem necessary corol-
larry to giving man his freedom that he
should have the ballot. If man is de-:
prived of the care for himself, that, an own
er would exercise, he ought not to be de-
prived of the exercise Of that care by him
self when he is set free and yet to make
slave free without giving him the bal
lot, is to do this very thing-is to say
that nobody else shall care for him, Meth
er shall he have the means to care. for
himself
The man who votes against negro SUI
frage, takes upon himself the responsible
/ ity to say that there shall be four millions
of people among US who Shall not be en-
titled to the rights of citizenship -whc
shall not have the right Of seifprotection
there is in the elective franchise--bu
shall receive such protection as Others
choose to give him Look, one moment
at the extent Of this possibility. There
are four millions Of these people now
The child is born who viii see their pos
terity amount to twenty millions. Thest

They are to have The ambitions that com,

ment under which they live. If the,

they pass and they justly pass, from thu
class Of friends to the class OF foes to the

Deprive the negro Of the ballot, ant
the history of this country for coming
generations can be written to-day as vel
as anytime, and that history will be on
of commotion, disorder, fire and slaughter
| If the negro is to be deprived of his bal
lot in Ohio, he ought also in South Car

is in the majority By upwards of an hun
dred thousand. In the ignorance of slav

away. # he becomes intelligent, as h
will, and is deprived Of his rights, he be

would do. Under such circumstance
civil strife is only a question of time. I
will come, and the government Of the
United States will be put in the position
to its everlasting shame, of compelling

Mr.. Stakemann has said 'sYou have
by your note with asteriks lent your
express sanction and countenance to a
communication &c" To these remarks
we say that we must quote the following
words: (or as Mr.. Stakemann has styled
them-"Note with astericks,' ~ "At our
earliest convenience we hope to comply
with the desire of 'One of Many and
trust, that the desired good of which he
strongly speaks, will be effected" We
have said what we dd mean ; but before
explaining why we say "What we did
mean,' rather Than what we noU mean,
we beg the Honorable Judge Stakemann
TO read the article of zone of Many
once more, and see if these words
"Among the most sacred duties of the
press" are not there uttered {? Well, in
accordance with this injunction we replied;
and by doing so, we showed impartiality
we evinced thereby that an opportunity
TO Zone of Many" 10 give expression to
his sentiments was but fair and that to
offer Mr.. Stakemann Il chance to defend
himself, was but reasonable. Having des-
patched this part of Mr.. Stakemann's
communication, we come now 10 ask the
Honorable Judge to define properly the
words common justice" and common
honesty" Surely, as Il Judge, a real de-
initiOntought to be expected of him. We
do not know Of much difference between
plain justice and common justice, nor
between plain honesty and common hon.
eSty. But we know that the express
sious Common justice and Common
honesty" are generally made by parties
through anger or veXation, or when they
think themselves superior to the persons
they are speaking TO.
Mr.. Stakemann, with a great deal of
pains, remarks: eff the trouble or the
expense is more than you can overcome,
common honesty forbids you TO publish
the article, for you thereby appropriate
to yourself the commodity, such as it is,
without paying the equivalent" Surely,
we must positively declare that this state
ment is rather free, and to speak the
truth, scvere; for we have never
complained to Mr.. Stakeman that "lhe
trouble and EXPENSE of The Editorial
department was "more" than we could
"overcome 5" nor can Mr.. Stakemann
prove that we appropriate" TO ourselves
"the commodity ;" Che columns of the
AVIS Mf. StaKelhann must mean) Tor the
very article of the honorable gentleman
goes more to prove that he should like TO
"appropriate" to himself the "commodi-
ty," rather than give another person
the like right.
Let US, Reader! go back to these Re-
marks "Wha we did mean rather than
what we now mean" We meant 10
have given ourselves ''the trouble''-
and not put ourselves to "expense"-of
giving a translation of the suit between
Judge Stakemann and Mr.. McDermott,
as far as the principal points are concern
ed but we do not mean to do so any
more-the honorable Judge Stakemann
having declared to us, and not to the
author of zone of Many" hat the "Com-
munication" ''rests on falsehoods"-the
duty must certainly then fall on Mr..
Stakemann to prove to the public-the
newspaper representing them-that ace

"HdC IOuHudLlOH tHty nave IN TACT. You
may thereby have to forego the advan-
tage, as you perhaps consider it 10 be,
of a piquant article once in a way, but
presume you may admit, that in so
doing you will act more in conformity
with common justice, or rather with
common honesty.
In your paper of the 4th instant you
have inserted a communication on the
subject of a law suit between MIR. Nc
Dermott and myself, which suit is there
IN stated to have carlson from accusations
against the Dealing Court or the clerks
of that Court" ''Judge Stakemann," it
goes on to say, "sued Mr.. McDermott for
defamation, for false accusations and
demanded that the Court should punish
him and declare his accusations for dead
and void, the Judge thereby, as it seems,
taking the accusations as against himself
aud his Court"
| never sued Mr.. McDermott for de-
lamation, | never sued him for false
accusations, | never demanded that the
Court should punish him, l never de-
handed that the Court should declare his
accusations for dead and void.
[ repeat, it was your bounden duty
when you received the communication in
question, to enquire, before publishing it,
as far as lay In your power, whether he
facts, on which it is based, were true or
false, even should that cost you some
trouble or expence. If The trouble or the
expence is more than you can overcome,
common honesty fort,ids you to publish
the article, for you thereby appropriate
to yourself the commodity, such as it is,
without paying the equivalent.
But this is far from all. You have by
your note with aStericks lent your eX-
press sanction and countenance to Il COM
munication, which I have shewn, rests on
falsehoods. Now did you do all you
could, to ascertain beforehand what were
the facts, did you apply for a copy Of my
complaint or the judgement? OF course
not, for you were already in possession
Of the truth. You are employed as clerk
in the Upper Court, and as such had all >,
the documents in your possession, nay
more you have with your hands copied at
least once the judgement of the Court,
in which the nature of the complaint is
set forth. With this knowledge Of its
character you have lent your aid and
abettance to IA perverted statement, cal

my character.
I send you this in time TO appear in
your next number, and should it not APP

publishing it, as the only means of pro-
lection against similar conduct in future.

1.-THE Honorable Judge Stakemann has,

Marks of the War.
A correspondent Of the Chicago (nI.)
saws:

a correspondent Of the Chicago GIL J
Tribune says:
"The tourist who travels south ex-
pecting to see much in the way of earth
works and Notifications from his car
window will be disappointed. Al
most every foot of the distance from
the Potomac to Richmond is historic
ground, but the scars of nature quickly
heal, and except at two or three points,
there is nothing suggestive Of the long
war. Around Fredericksburg, at the
crossing Of the two Annas, and near
Ashland, one gets glimpses of forts or
batteries, and there are plenty of
earthwOrks for the last three or four
miles before entering Richmond Be
low Petersburg, for twelve or fifteen
miles, the attention is constantly
held-fOrts, batteries, rife-pits, abattis
and other works appearing in rapid
succession, as the railway passes
through the rebel and Union lines.
Rain and wind have rounded all angles,
and grass and wild flowers are spread
ing themselves where but lately can
non frowned and sentinel marched.
About Weldon and GOIdsbOrO' there
are quick views of earthwOrks, but be-
tween here and Wilmington hardly a
necessary token of war can be seen.
There are everywhere ruins of burned
homes, silent chimneys standing alone
and suggestive-dOubtless they speak
of wars work, but of this the travel
er can only guess"
