IS
Nearly all that have said In reference to Eor-
s!gneu voting, wsl spPly 70 negroes Il h yet
armly held, is MsoE that Governments derive
their iu5t powers from the consent az Che gov
erned. We often hear this claimed for rebels and
traitors In the most pathetic manner, by their al
lies In the nerth, while with che most unhlushing
afrontsry they deny any representation for ne
gross But the sense Of justice, fair dealing and
common deceacy, cause the peopls TO begin 70
Mink upon this question.
What are the objections to negroes voting
The first and the real objection is, that they are
not of our race. This Is purely prejudice, and is
no reason atall. tits the argument that.I always
heard used by an old Tuckahoe acquaintance Of
mine. Ask him his reason for any opinion OF his,
and his reply always was, 'jlst fer becAsSJ'r 'oa
You will.hear your thin skinned, weak kneed
Republican object, because it might lpjure his
party. Another will say, the negro is too igno-
rant A sufficient reply to these objections Is,
that party that cannot stand the tests of truth
and justice, ought 10 be injured, And If intelli-
genceis to be the test then apply tito all and see
where your ignorant white man win be placed.
One conclusive answer TO this objection Is. that
during and since the rebellion, the negroes had
sense enough to beloyal. Can you say as much
for your white race, Of whose intelligence you
boast so much7 A .Hsit
All through the war the negroes we're true.
Ask your soldiers II they ever saw \ black rebel
The negroes were not only true TO the country,
but they had intelligence sufficient TO know upon
which side they stood. Did white men know
this much7 Did any soldier for the Union ever
fear to trust his life 10 the hands Of negro In the
South, curing the warp Could he trust his life in
the hands of white men, or even women, there
Then, If the soldiers life was secure in the hands
Of the negro, under the most trying clrcumstan-
ces would not the life Of the nation be safe In his
hands1 man should always aim his ballot aud
bis bullet in the same direction. The negro has
abundantly proved how he will shoot; now trust
him to vote In the same direction. DIM
