ruR wnRK ROR NEXT TUESDAY.

We have no business, by opposing the political
rights of our half million OF colored men, 10
give the South an excuse for opposing the
political rights of her four millions. We have
no business to do it, and we cannot anord 70
do it. We tried the experiment in Connecu-
cut of trusting to the strength of one portion
of our party, and refusing the aid OF another
norton. We chose to depend upon the ballots
of white men, and to throw away the ballots
of colored men and we got a lesson that loyal
Republicans will be likely to remember. Free
and Impartial Suffrage, North and South, for
men of every complexion, is henceforth the
watchword of the great Union party. We must
snare no labor until it is established all over
the land; we must relax no effort until all the
loval North is reconstructed according to this
great principle.
The State of New-Yorl has now M Oppor-
tunity of moulding her Constitution into con-
formity with this idea, and of setting noble
example to her sister States. The election OF
delegates to the Convention which is TO revise
the organic law of the State will take place on
the 9sd instant. Every patriotic and justice
loving voter has sacred duty 10 perform in
that election, and has no moral right to shirk
it. The question of equal suffrage, and with 1t
the general interest to some degree OF the party
which aims to be the exponent of all free and
liberal measures, depend upon the result. We
demand of every Republican citizen that he
shall cast his vote for delegates to the Conven-
ton, knowing that upon the choice to be made
next Tuesday may depend not only the vel
fare and honor of New-YOrk, but possibly the
welfare and honor of the whole Union.
New-York tribune., 1867-04-20
Thank YOU. GENTLEMEN,

Two or three weeks ago, a phianthropic
friend. inst returned from Southern tour,
gave us narrowing account of the destitution
there prevalent, not merely among the aDso-
lutely poor, but also among those who nave
abundant real estate, but little food hnd
no money. He calculated that few
millions of dollars, promptly loaned III small
sums to those who can give real estate security
for it, would go further to relieve the prevalent
destitution than an equal amount given as
aims to support the needy; while it would inn
mensely increase the present years mar
vest, and thus benefit every part OIL
our country, but especially this. emporium
He proposed thereupOn an appeal TO the
wealth and business OF New-fork, not
for aims, but for amply secured loans to the
planters of 800 TO $1,000 each, to enable
them to buy seed, implements, teams, and
food and thus give employment to the
idle and starving laborers all around
them. All this was so wise, so practical
30 timely, that, though we had no money to
invest OF lend we could not refuse him the use OF
our name as an indorscr and promoter OF his
noble enterprise. The next we hear OF 1t Is the
following "frst-rate notice" in the Albany cor
respondence of The Commercial
"Tho influence produced here by the leaders OF THE
NEw-YoRK tribune may be seen oy vote which en- was @

we beg the Legislature to accept our

have the satisfaction of having tried to do good,
without being required to give time and invest
money which We had not to spare. We beg
the Legislature to "do Just so' with erery bill

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION.

THE CONSIITCIIONAL COM ENIION
The result of the election to be held next
Tuesday may shape the fortunes of the State
not for one year, but for twenty years. 1t will
be in the power of the men whom we choose to
represent us in the grave and important work
of revising our State Constitution-tO do OF TO
leave undOne many things that closely con-
Germ the welfare and happiness of the people
1t will be for them TO find a remedy for the
frightful increase OF legislative corruption ard
GERS whom we appoint to rule us shall sell
themselves and us to the highest bidders;
whether judges shall lie venal, and justice sold
TO tie rich and denied to the poor. They will
have in their hands the reformation of the ju-
dicial system about the need of which among
honest and intelligent men there are hardly
two opinions. The rcmodeling of our elective
Judiciary, the expedition of legal proceedings,
and the reorganization of some of the courts,
are likewise among the serious matters which
ought to enter into their deliberations. And,
finally, the great question of equal suffrage
and the rights of man must be settled by this
Convention, and the principles of Republican
Ism must he more fearlessly and Enthusiastically
asserted.
The assembling of the Constitutional Con-
vention, therefore, will be an important event
in the history Of The State and the election
ought to call ont heavy vote. Let our
friends only put forth their strength, and we
have little doubt of result whose benefits the
State will feel for generation TO come.

sooner or later o necessity The Bulgarians
are enemies of the Greeks IN the Church dues-
ton, and this enmity may to some extent make
itself felt in the political arena likewise; but
it will prove unable to make the Bulgarians the
steadfast supporters Of the common oppressors
Of all Christians thorough organization OF
national Bulgarian party would greatly hasten
the emancipation of European Turkey. The
four chief Christian tribes united could easily
shake off the Moslem rule and reestablish IN
South Eastern Europe, if not Byzantine En-
pire, at least Christian Confederation, or
number of independent Christian kingdoms.

On the morning of the Connecticut election we
estimated the vote for Gov. Hawley at 46,OO0-a
majority of any poll ever yet made in the State.
Hawleys actual vote is46,57s-w whichis1 ,SS7 more
than LincOln's highest vote, Gn 1S64), which was
the highest ever polled for any one till now.
English beats him by the most enormous expendi-
ture of money ever yet made in State election
an expenditure which was especially efficient in
hunting up aliens and running them through the
Naturalization mill but which was operative
also in bringing to the poll every one who could
I've cOaxed or bribed to vote the Democratic ticket
The total vote for Governor is as follows:

1t will be used more and more with
MOLASSES, as 1T prevents the fermentation
and loss, thereby giving Planter and
Merchant a better return.
Every Sugar Planter should do his III
most, the very best he can to make a
solid crystalline Sugar as bright and
clean as possible. Cane juice properly
defeated, cleaned carefully and quickly
boiled down and carefully REGULARLY
OSClLLATED will give such Sugar, and
the resulting Syrup when fresh can be
and should be Immediately reboiled, Civ
ing the Planter all the solid sugar, his
cultivation, a grateful soil, a glorious
climate, and benefcent providence has
placed in his reach. We do not 60 as
far as the REPORTER" in considering
ourselves conquered by Beet Root. We
nave every superiority over the Beet
Root In facility of growing crops, a larg-
err percentage of actual Sugar, a ready
supply of fuel in our megass and a health
Ter and cleaner process Of manufacture.
Why should it beat US? 1t has not yet
and 1T can never do it, if the Sugar Cane
Planter will only do his work, and i'm
proving with the times, fight out opposi-
ton and keep his ground until, as with
most vegetables, the Cane itself degene-
rates and wont give any more sugar till
then, let us work and live and HOPE.
Following up our Limited Chemical
Manufacture with some success for
which we are thankful, we again for 1867
wish our Planter Friends here and thrO'
the other West India Colonies good crops
and better Prices. md
Remain with respect,
Your obedient Servant,

by Hydrometer only. As to its quality,
well, it is worth some Public Notice, as
it gives so fair a share Of revenue and is,
In such common use as q beverage, as
stated in 1865 and 1866. The Spirit or
Rum lately made and generally sold is
very inferior in quality, strength and age
TO the Spirits sold previous to its being
made an article for Duty. The Planter
has not the certainty n0W Of finding ready
sale and cash for Rum as formerly. There
are now over $50 registered Stills and Of
this lot it would be almost q chemical
operation 10 detect one free from serious
defects of formation aud of irregular Fer
mentatlOn &C., so producing such Rum
as Is now In common use, strongly I'M
pregnated with POISONOUS Russell Oil
and Villianous Hogo. Is there not room
and a cause here for Legislative supervi-
sion on these matters, and the Laws now
in operation by which II Rum %scllar, or
In fact any one, 1t seems, may sell wines,
wholesale or retail, without any Ii
cense? and the compounds of Rum
may form an extensive class, even includ-
ing a pernicious rehabilitation stuff, with
oils and berries aud for sale as q Rum
compound under the name of Gin ! The
Planter has lost through the duty on Rum,
"a source of profit. Still it is a right to
protect the fair dealer and the honest
Taxpayer and trader from all those who,
not Only sell without License, rs was re-
Gently exposed, but again from those
who are careless of public health and

SPECIFIC GRAVITY is the actual
weight Of an article at q certain Temper
allure as compared with an equal bulk of
pure water. Thus, a Phial holding,
when fall, 1000 grains of Pure Water at

less or more grains weight Of Alcohol,
according to its strength, or on the other

and increasing in density-that is specific
gruUity-untiI at 1900 to 1850 it is in the
best state for filtration, and so on until
it becomes q solid mass. Custom has
made the "Beaume's Scale for Liquids
heavier than water" the usual practice
for stating the richness or strength of
Cane juice and syrups. Here again as
in the Proof of Rum, we consider there
should be a certainty equally correct as to
temperature and figures. Thus, ! Beaume
represents 1907 specific gravity, A Beaume
1929 and so on. Instead Of using the
approrimating Scale of Beaume, we advise
as most simple and correct, specific gra-
witty instruments, giving the exact specific
gravity tn numbers at once. So allowing
every Planter to state Exactly the richness
of his Cane juice, syrups or molassess in
well known and correct figures showing
the trne Snecifc gravity.
