Suffrage Not a Natural Right,

An Argument frequently urged by
the supporters Of the Constitutional
Amendment is, that suffrage is n nat
turf right that nc person should be
prohibited from enjoying, TO the full
est extcn all tho rights TO which he is
by nature entitled.
This hypothesis presupposes n dis.
fiction between rights natural, and
those arising from and regulated by
the social compact; hence it may be
we'll 10 inquire us to what rights man,
in Il state Of nature, is entitled. Nat
urally one mar has as much right, in,
and dominion over the earth and It's
products, rs auether-naturully "A has
no more right to the field he c~ultivates
and calls his own than B has to tho
same 6eld--naturally the amorous
young gentlemen has n right TO take
unto himself one, or many wives
naturally a woman may insist upon
her right TO n plurality Of husbands
naturally there is noone thing towhich
one person may claim to be entitled to
which any other person with equal
show Of right may make tho same
claim; hence arise Mormonism. Free
Love, and all tho thousand and one
ohimericaI ideas founded upon these
supposed natural rights, ana OF the
inability Of society TO prevent or pro
hibit any n from the fullest enjoy,
ment OF them.
Again, tins argument presupposos
chat the social compact itself il II nat,
ural riOSt. that IN wna instituted hy
nature and not by necessity tina
every person in the world is invested
naturally with all the privileges per
{ tanning to each and every society ther,
may be, no matter where or wheT
organized or what its custom, law Of
usagcs; that there is no occasion ft
Constitutions, Laws, Magma Charta
or other declaration of civil rights ant
social privileges IN short, the Argu
mont presuppOses that the whole plal
af civil society 10 in itself absolutel,
, nothing, having no element of perman
ent existence, but on the contrary, al
anomaly called into existence by for
} ~tuitous circumstance, TO b~e.Overwhelm
: ed and ruined whenever the individual
members choose TO assert their natura

The Difference.

Gen. Hayes, the Radical Candidate
for Governor says, IN a late speech in
defining Radicalism: "Radicalism is
righteousness"
Webster defines tho word thus;
"Radicalism, The doctrine or prin-
ciplc CT making radio, reform in gov
eminent, by ovcrthrowing or changing
the present state Of things."
The constitution oftho United States
under whose guidance we were made
n prosperous gront and happy people,
we learn IS urP,ghtsous. The trainers
Of the Constitution-whom we were
wont to reverence for their good and
great qualitles-wc learn were IN
righteous, sinful creatures, nov fit tc
wipe the dust Off the shoes o.
Hayes and the Radical righteous party
of which be stands at the head. Ben
Butler, the spoon -stealer and woma,
i%nSuiter, is righteous Radical. Rev
Serene Howe, the ch!M Seducer, o
Massachusetts,, is another of thest
leading righteous Radicals. These ar,
types Of the self. called righteous
party.

A Charleston Dispatch Of che oath

"Gcueral Scott, Assistant Commits

the recent acts of Congress"
These officers and agents Of the
Freedmen's Bureau draw salaeries
from ths Federal Government ranging
from 800 20 $500 per month. AS
shown by this dispatch their duty, for
which they receiv this enormous re-
compense, and TO raise which the PEG.
pie are previously taxed, is to keep
the freedmen fully informed as to their
rights and duties and privileges under
the recent acts Of Congress. This is O
virtual acknowledgement ofthe negro.

that the people Of tho North will have

Again, Ii Suffrage j. 4 matter which

Friends Of Humanity, after reciting
tho above statment Of facts, we have
= few questions TO ask you:
What set Of men possessed Of ordi-
nary common sense, and alive to any
thing but british instincts, would in
carcerate a man, whose life had been
sustained by whisky for months,
without giving him some stimulants2
You had better expect u healthy and
temperate man to live without food
and waterl
What kind ola set Of men would
you call those who would i~ncareerate
a man during the hot weather we
have just had in the cells Of our Jail,
deprive him Of that which has been
the %susteuance Of his life, and expect
him to live? Not more than one year
ago, two men, Kincaid and Stanhope,
the murderers of old MAI Sheets, ar
rested and charged with the crime Of
murder were allowed to pass their Gays
of incarccration IN the debtors cell. Il

der and arson?

Sheriff would allow a prisoner to rave
with the Delirium Tremens within the
walls ofthe Jail for thirty-fve hours,
without calling in a physician TO treat
him because the physician Of the
Sherlf's choice wa out Of town? Re-
sponsible physicians say that Welsh
could not have been cured at the time

tigate Il matter which is represented
to him TO involve and threaten the life
of u fellow man2 All, Friends Of Hu-
mainly, he says he intends to "D'dk {

Of service.
Thy has there not been a Coroner's
jury convened TO inquire into this
case and ascertain If dereliction Of
duty has not been the cause Of George
S. Welsh's death? All, Friends of Hu-
mainly, such an inquiry might involve
the sacred persohs VI certain Radical

are the mon that Sco6ed at DR.. Hedges

Who are the men that are endeavor

y Touching PICTURE.-Near the Musical In

group OF three persons Is frequently seen. \
gentleman, though tall and strong, leans on the
arm of a lady. He wears colored spcctacles, not

is blind. His wife is deaf and dumb. The cor
respondent from whose letter these facts arc gath
cred, continues
The blind man could not see; his wife could
see, but she could not tell him what she saw, for
being able Ia express herself only by signs, his
want Of eyes was as fatal as her want OF voice.
How. then. render a visit u the Exhibition useful
or pleasant, under such deplOnble circumstances ?
Nothing more simple the lady telegraphs 10 her
daughter what 10 say, and the latter explains
everything 10 her father with amazing quickness
and yOlubility. The chain of communication II

it-eif with anterior difficulty. Before this clever
and amiable little girl had existence, how did the
gentleman, who was blind since his sixteenth
year, and the lady. who was born deaf and dumb.
express their attachment? The lady could not
hear the declarations Of her lover the lover could
not see bushes and mute signs 10y which alone
she could make known that she accepted them.
And yet they married. What = mystery of Pa
