Let every voter re0SLuOer lual tne Oe- |
mocracy would at once vote for the enfran- |
ehisement of the negro,i 1t they were only
sure of securing his vote.-RepubLicaH.
We do not know about that. A party
which introduces a new element into the
State does it at some risk. There is, in the
first place, the risk Of losing from that sec.
ton of the party which is opposed to the
introduction; ard the risk that the new ele
ment will not always continue loyal to the
party by which it was introduced.
There are good many people IN Ohio,
who have hitherto acted with the Republi-
can party, who can not swallow negro sut-
frage. All of these will be more or less
loosened aud alienated from the party by
the introduction of tie new brother into
the communion. 1t is very seldom that cir
cumstances are such that party can gain
II on one margin without loosing upon an
other; unless we ara greatly mistaken in our
estimates. the Republican party. in case the
enfranchisement takes place, will lose more
! white than il will gain negro voters.
This is the start fhe history of man.

any thing else, that the antagonism of races

tics Antarnnism of RACES, ike the other
natural forces. increases its intensity in

the bodies upon which it acts is reduced

For one election, and perhaps for two,
the Republican party may possibly rely
with something like certainty upon the a..
sistance OF the negro; but party which
counts upon the permanent retention OF an
el cmpnt upon the score of gratitude, knows
as little as possible of human nature. En-
during gratitude belongs to those alone
Who in respect to their moral constitutions,
are highly endowed; with those OF lower
order, there is no cause OF practical enmity
more poten, than a sense OF tavors received
Having gotten from the Republican party
all that it has to give, the negroes will nat
uraly be looking elsewhere for favorS; and
there will be no means 70 turn them against
their old friends more efficient than to tell
them that they are expected to pay for the

The negroes, when enfranchi>ed, will con.
tinue to be an order more separate from
the other body ofcitizens than the member;
of anv other race or nationality They will
constitute third party the most distine t
and inSnmblc of all third parties. As such
they will bc liable to be op rated upon by
the wireworkers Of all parties, and will

If the Republicans expect that they will

1t will be an open market to those who car
