Post Master at warren.

The news wss received on Saturday
that Mr.. HENRY II. TOWNSEND, had
been appointed and Confirmed as Post
master at this place, to succeed Jeffer-
son Palm, Esq. Mr.. TOWNSEND is g
young Republican who proved his de.
votion to his principles and his coun-
try by four years of arduous service as
a soldier, doing his full share toward
suppressing the rebellion. Besides this
he is in every way worthy and well
qualified for the duties of Post Master,
and we have no doubt he will give gem
ersl satisfaction.
To the retiring P. N. We extend all
the sympathy we have at command at
present writing. We believe he has
conducted the business of the Office
faithfully. We always found him court
eous and accommodating. 1t has been
his misfortune that his servile fealty to
"Shoddy Andy" as the Consultation used
to style A. J., has been rewarded by SO
small a slice of bread and butter.

Sufrrage Extension I'm ohio.

The Legislature of this State, at a
second trial concluded it would be safe
to trust the people to determine wheth.
.er it was polite, just and %expedient to
extend the liberty of the elective fran
chise SO as to include within its privi-
leges the ten OF twelve thousand black
men now excluded from the ballot by
reason of the constitutional limitstion
of that right to ''white males" That
the Legislature of the Republican State
of Ohio has been induced to grant the
people this opportunity of expressing
their sentiments on this question, is
doubtless mainly due to the urgent and
almost unanimous demand of the Re-
publican press of the State. Had the
press spoken less emphatically, or been
divided on the merits of the question.
it is probable that the weakened
members of the legislature, would
have crouched before the spectres of
caste, prejudice and copperhedism.-I
But they received no encouragement
from the Union newspapers of the
State.
The question of striking the word
white" from the Constitution is to be
the main issue in the political campaign
of 1867. The friends of political equal
ity, those who are in favor of ~eleyating
rather than trampling upon their weak
and unfortunate fellow-men, must take
hold and work earnestly and untiringly
from now until the second Tuesday of
October. The opponents of impartial
suffrage will deal in ISLANDERS, in low
and vulgar epithets, in invidious COM
parsons, satirical illusions, heartless
of the poor and helpless, in
sulting God and humanity, but will
not employ arguments. The srgu-
ments viii be on the liberal side
thrice armed, our quarrel being just
and the great mass of the people, who 1
believe are ever ready to yield to
The logic of incontroTertable facts, will 6

hF The Warren Constitution of yester-
day contains an announcement of the
withdrawal of JEFFERSON PAIN, Esq,
from that paper as editor. About a
column of mournful reflections are in
dulged In, over the condition of the
Southern section of the country, which
Is represented as being under a "des-
poiism unparalleled in the history of
the world" Inasmuch as the author
of this wall for the South has wound up
his affairs in Ohio to locate in the
neutral" State of Kentucky, his great
sympathy for the South, and his ardent
championing of rebel interests are not
matters of surprise. He had not, how
ever. any new lessons to learn to quail
fly him for a task from which a mar
with a single patriotic impulse would
shrink with disgust. Hear his last:
"The people of the Southern States,
though not justified in their rebellion,
did not propose to found a government
upon any other principle than that
established by the fathers of the FEEDER
al Government; viz: the consent of the
people"
In view of the atrocities, tyranny,
and usurpations of the rebel govern
ments, State and Confederate, we can
not realize how any man protesting the
least regard for truth could deliberate
ly pen q sentence SO insulting to the
common intelligence of the people of
any portion Of Ohio. He is certainly
qualified for semi-rebel associations, and
could not be far out of place if thrown
into fellowship with an out-and-out
traitor. The people of the Western
Reserve viii not mourn the departure
of one 50 politically corrupt from their
midst.
