in, a common interest with, ana az
attachment to the community. ought
to have a right Of suffrage. In VIZ
giDia. Tennessee, Kentucky, V Rermont,
New Hampshire, the same prlnclple
was affirmed. IN almost the same words
In two or three of the States 1t was
slightly varied. In North Carolina
the language of the Constitution was
That the people of this State ought
not to be taxed, or made subject to the
payment of any lmpOst or duty, with
out the consent of themselves. or their
representatives il general assembly,
given. Iu every one of the states,
even South Carolina, It was recognized
as a fundamental principle that there
should be no taxation without repre-
sentation. - Chicago Times, Democrat
The word white is not found in
any Of the original constitutions save
only that of South Carolina. In eve
~ other State negroes who possessed
the qualifications that were required
impartially of all men, were admitted
to vote. And many of that race did
vote IN the Southern as well as IN the
Northern States. And. moreover, they
voted the Democratic ticket, for It was
the Democratic party Of that day
which affirmed their right in that re-
spect upon an impartial basis with
white men. All Democrats cannot,
even at this day, have forgotten the
statement Of General jackson that he
was supported for the Presidency by
i negro voters in the State Of Tennes-
see. - Chicago Times, Democratic.
The doctrine of impartial suffrage
is one of the earliest and most essen
tial doctrines of Democracy. 1t IS the
affirmation of the right of every man
/ Who is made a partaker of the Dur

/ which all true republican government
rests. 1t is the basis upon which the
liberties of America will be preserved,

TIE VAR or RACES.

The antagouism of races not predIc-
ted by the Democratic and Conserva-
tive prophets continues to be iIlustra-
ted every day in the Southern States.
A socessionist who thoagh he did
not believe in secession per Sc approx
ed it as necessary means of perpetu-
ating slavery which he believed to be
the only natural condition of the AT
rican, now writes from Richmond to
the New York Tribune. under date of
April 18:
We-of the south fully expected that
| he the African) would be so negligent
and improvident, when free that starva-
! ton would be the lot of his race in any
part of the earth whose productions
are not spontaneous. That, from hab-
| it, inclination, and necessity, he would
/ ignore all the ties of family obligation;
but in this, also, we have been equally
mistaken. Most of US felt convinced.
| too. that he would be an unresisting vic
/ tim of that fell destroyer of the white
and the red man-intemperance; but
the contrary is happily the case. In
| fact, a more orderly, unTevengeful,
Crovident, aud temperate laboring class
| is not to be found any where than we
have in our midst. Meager as their
| earnings are, yet most of them strive to
| the utmost to lead quiet and peaceful
| lives, to adhere to and ST elter their
! families and educate their children; few
| are given to braWls and other species
of dissipation, cultivating habits of
/ economy. cleanliness, industry, and
| good conduct in general, to the surprise
| Of those most disposed to doubt their
! fitness for freedom or self government.
| No where, however, ha We they eXhib-
| tied this general capacity to better ad-
| vantage than in their participation In
the recent Republican State Conven-
/ ton held in this city. A vast majority
of them had been slaves all their lives
| until recently, and more orderly, dis
| Greet, and coBcilatOry body of men can
| not be found among any peasaUtry on
earth, as a whole. Decided talent, too,
| was by no means rare among them; In
| fact, malice itself was silenced; and the
/ discretion that governed their action
| will be best understood from the result
| of their labors. The writer of this
| heard gentleman of most extensive
| observation IL deliberatiye assemblies
remark that a Convention conducted
with more decorum he had never atten-
| ded, and that, to his great astonishment
many of the speeches of the more taleD-
| ted bore very favorable comparison
with the major part of those delivered
| IN our Legislature now in session. So
! it would seem that, henceforth, the ne
gro, in the South, is not only an insti-
/ tuition, but an element which is desti-
| ned at no remote period to WELD a not
uuimportantinfuence in uprooting the
| prejudice of centuries.
May his career continue onward and
upward, for the good of himself, the
land he lives in, for the honor of the
human race, aud the glory of the God
| that created us all.

DEMOCRATIC ARGU1EENTS FOR
IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE

"All political power is inherent in
The people. Government is instituted
Tor their equal protection and benefit,
and they have the right to alter, re
form, or abolish the same, whenever
they may deem it necessary" Con-
sfitution of Ohio, Art., 1, Sec. l. The
Constitution of this State was framed
by Convention of which the presi-
ding officer, and a majority of the
members were Democrats.
I'VE hold these truths to be self-ev-
ident that all men are created equal
that they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with certain unalienable rights ;
that among these are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. That to
secure these rights, governments are
instituted among men, deriving their
just pOlCerS from the consent Of the goo
craed that whenever any form of
government becomes dest stTuctive of
these ends, 1t Is the right of the peO-
pie to alter or to abolish it" DecLdr-
alton Of Independence, 1Uritten by
Thomas Jefferson, q Democrat.
Universal suffrage and universal
education" Toast given by John G.
Calhoun, at Browns Hotel, In Wash
iugton in 1919.
Impartial suffrage is strictly &C =
cording to Democratic theory an d
rule it is impossible to conceive from
what other it derives support. ''-BOs-

apply it iEpartially. A rule of that
sort is too firmly fixed In Justice and
equality to be shaken. It commends
itself too clearly TO the good sentiment
of the entire body of our cOuutrymen
to be successfully traversed by objec-
tions. Once let this principle be fair
ly presented to the people of the sew
eral States, with the knowledge on
their part that they alone are to have
the disposal and settlement of it, and
we sincerely believe it would not be
long before it would be adopted by ev-

One of the remarkable phenomena
illustrating the results of the war is the
political tour Of Senator Henry Will
son, Of Massachusetts, through the
Southern States. Wherever Mr.. Will
son speaks he is listened to attentively
and respectfully by immense audiences
of blacks and whites. though his
speeches are always thoroughly pro-
gressive and Republican. Five years
ago had Mr.. Wilson thus appeared
and spoken such sentiments he woul d
have been insured, egged, mobbed
and hung or burned at the stake
Bayonets have done wonderful
amount of thinking IN the last five
years, and their severe logic has swept
away sophisms aud barbarisms that
would have been proof against half a
century of agitation. Let US have
free discussion and free schools in the
South, and not only will harmony be-
tween the sections soon be restored,
but the Republican Union party will
extend itself throughout the cotton
States, reVivifying them with its pro-
gressive and free ideas.
