Tho e to Vote.

How unfortunate it is hat Demo.
Gratis, otherwise politically intelligent,
should be in such gross Ignorance OF
the real question before the country, as
to be actually driven to adopt the argyll
ments of monarchists to defend them
selves! For instance, a writer in the
Columbus Crisis says: '...
"FIrSt, Men, tile right to voteis not a
natural right Tits Il conferred right.
1t will and must always have an arbi-
trary line in it,"
Now, if the right TO vote is a soon
ferred right" pray who conferred it!
Can one equal confer right upon an
other equal? Kings confer rights on
their subjects, but tell us how one sub
ject can confer u right upon another
subject? The very idea Of comforting
q right upon another, implies a higher
source from which the right springs.
But equals can confer nothing upon
equals. Every white mar is entitled to
vote because all white mel are created
equal, but negroes are not equals ofthe
white man, and, therefore, have no right
TO equality with, and hence not entitled
to vote. How simple is all this! Why
then wade oifinto the old arguments Of
Kings and despots, that 'human rights
ire conferred !" 1t is q shame to the
lame of Dcmocracy.-Mw York Day

PENsIoNING MISREPRESENTATION
ding to an Act of Congress the Clerk
of the House of Representatives is en-
powered to authorize two papers ineach
excluded States to publish laws and
do the official advertising for the Gov.
ernmcnt. Good prices are paid for
this work, and the weaker class of news.
papers struggle for it as if it were the
journalistic elixir of life.
Mr.. MCPHERSON, the House Clerk, has
awarded this patronage to papers in
nearly all of the Southern States, and
we find that the fortunate ones are all
of the extreme radical type, which could
not long exist without food from some
unusual quarter. 1t seems to US that il
the Radicals are determined to pension
the few papers in the South which arc
engaged in fomenting disturbances and
keeping alive political passion and ha-
tired it would be better to make up a
direct money appropriation. In the
first place the publication of the Uni
ted States laws in newspapers is all nom
sense, forthere never yet has been dis
covered a man who reads them in that
form. In the second place they might
as well be published in K~amschatka as
in the journals selected, so far as their
presentation to the Southern people is
concerned. The said journals have no
circulation that is worthy of the name,
and the few copies that they print are
mainly sent to admiring friends in the
North. 1t would be a better plan to
keep them alive by rations from the
Frcedman's Bureau.-New York Sun.

EDITOR HOME JOURNAL
DEAR Sm.--It is a lamented and
conceded fact that the South and South
west have been and are now depending
too much upon the East for nearly
every commodity Of life-our merchan-
disc, our school teachers, our books,
and newspapers. Why is this3 Are
those people so much wiser than our
Western and Southern neighbors, or
what is the cause? / for one will here.
aftcrpatronize Southern institutions"
subscribe for Southern papers and in.
tend to encourage the patronage OF
Southern institutions Of every class.
The impending crisis, and the evil
that may follow, and the wicked dc.
signs Of some Of the present party in
power at Washington, is a just cause |
think to arouse the patriotism of every
true man in the Union. The time for
nominating n candidate to fill the Pres.
idential office is nea at hand, with
much more than its usual Importance
to the people of the South and West.
Never since our form of government
has the weight Of responsibility borne
so heavily upon the voters ofthc Uni
ted States as at the present time. We
need good and true men at the head of
our national affairs, especially chief
magistrate of the nation. and in our
opinion the Hon. G. l.. Vallandigham,
Of Ohio would be the best choice that
could be made in the North, at any
rate he would be the choice Of the ma.
jority in this vicinity.
1t is the intention Of the abolitionists
to food the country with their vile alb
clifton sheets, and send to the Southern
States their ablest speakers. They are
to hold conventions there to form a
Republican party organization in every
Southern State and will send them
speakers, documents, and money for
the dissemination ofpolitical truths, us
they are pleased to call them. Let us
counteract this movement by sending
the best Democratic documents and
newspapers to every nook and corner
in the South. If you will send us a
few copies of your paper VIZ will take
pleasure in handing them out to such
as we think would be likely to sub
scribe.
Respectfully yours,

The following pertinent resolution
was passed 1t a late meeting in Chat.
tanooga:
RESOLVED, That the administration
of VIM. G.. Browulow, who, when he
had it in his power by a wise and mag
unanimous policy to have united all par
ties and classes in building up the shat.
tered fortunes of the State, chose
rather to kindle the dying fires of civil
war and encouraged by o pledge of i'm
munity to one party, to vent in time OF
peace. the reyengeful feelings which arc
the Legitimate fruits of war, and now
seeks to crush the State by loading her
already overburdencd people with a
debt to the amount of millions of dol.
lars, to support a standing army to in.
timidate the legal qualified voters, both
white and black, into voting for him
because they do not agree with him, in
his destruction and prospective policy,
which tends to destroy the time hon
ored and inalienable rights Of free men.

How TINES CHANGE!-The last mum
Der OF the Louisville journal comes Il
hand with the names of the nominee:
of the Democratic Convention of tina,
State, flying at its mast head, and will
a slashing leader against the Louisville
Democrat, the old organ of the party,
for refusing TO support the ticket!
The Journal concludes:
The present is no time for divisions
and ordinations and rccriminations
among those vi o would save the coun-
try and we think that this fact was fully
recognized by the Frankfort Conven-
ton. If any Conservative is Of the
opinion that the Convention could have
done better than it did, let him, in o
spirit Of patriotism, refrain from any
attempt to make his private opinion q
cause or occasion Of mischieyous dis
cord. If ever there was n time when it
the solemn duty Of Kentucky to
present, for the country's sake and her
own, a bold and united front against
the dcstroyers, such a time rs this.

A RccrratiOn.

VIZ count it a recreation to attenj
the Friday evening exercises of oul
schools in Winchester. Last FRIDAY
afternoon we attended the reading Of
compositions at the Robert DonnelI
University, and feel it 4 pleasure to re-
cord III admiration of the manner of
the exercises. 1t was evident that the
most scrupulous attention had been
paid to the instruction of students in
other matters besides the knowledge of
letters, in order to fit them for society.
We would venture the assertion that
under the management of Prof. McKen-
zie and Miss j. c. Black, the Robert
Donncll University offers advantages
second to no college in the South, and
il any one will visit the exercises there
will second the assertion.

The Memphis Avalanche makes til,
following sensible remarks about the
publications of the Infamous Harper
Brothers. Our Southern readers would
do well to profit by the ad, ice of the
Avalanche and refuse to encourage by
perusal or purchase the publications OF
their most malignant foes:
During the progress ofthe wal the
Earpers had their "cuts' and their
"scencs taken by our own artist on the
spot y and this firm manufactured more
lies than General Halleck himself would
have required. This was to keep the
war up to fever heat at the North. If
it gave out signs Of wearying, the Har-
pers rushed to the rescue, and by some
"graphic picture" improvised for a
special occasion, they indamed the pub
lie mind and again kindled the flame of
war. There was no agency in all the
North equal to it, because there was
none more INSCRIPTIONS, and none that
SO readily addressed itself to all ages,
sexes and conditions. The war ended,
but not SO the Harpcrs' hate for peo-
pie who'bnce patronized them much
more literally in proportion to popu-
than the North did. They have
become accustomed to hating the South
because, in gratifying their malignity,
they maintain their usual reputation for
lying. They abuse us, in writing and
in pictures and 10 all in their power
to render us contemplate in the esti-
of the masses Of the North
whose hate is kept up, as it seems to
perpetuate the power of Stevens and
Sumner. These abomniablc prints are
sent out to all Southern cities, and ev-
cry railroad train is full of them. Sure
ly our own people cannot furnish this
demand Tor u work that fourishes by
defaming us and our wives and chill
dren. No true Southern man can buy
Harpers' book. 1t is but paying for
publishing and disseminating lies upon
