MIA, and other Nogtiem States, gives
US room for increased hope. We had
nearly despaired, and wondered if the
arrogance, intemperance and reckless
ness Of the party in power, coupled with
ncndish threats, would never awaken
the second sober thought Of the people.
Honest cCunsels have gained vigor by
delay, and we feel like u new man this

to animate the bosom Of every patriot,

Old Madame Rothchild, mother OF
the mighty capitalists, attained the age
of nincty-eight; her wit, which was re
markable, and her intellectual faculties,
which were of no common order, were
preserved to the end. In her last ILL
ness, when surrounded by her family,
her physician being present, she said
in a suppliant tone to the latter, "Dear
doctor, try to do something for me-"
"Madame, what can do? Ican't make
you young again." "No, doctor, l
don't want to be young again, but I
want to continue to grow old"

accounting for the late misfortune.
Revolutions do not go backward, and
the great republic rushes on very fast,
and we march to the battle-cry Of free
dom and all the rest OF it but it is clear
that the American people are not yet
prepared to accept even the partial rule.
Of the race they have just set free, 1t
was possible to make them cohere--
nay, to mould them into u solid com
pacted mass, whose weighta and velocity
gave momentum sufficient to hurl down
slavery but the constituents which MS
sented to and fought for emancipation
cannot be got to assent to, even iIthe,y
do not practically fight against, black
entranchisement.
There is no escape from two momcn-
tous facts first, that the character OF
our representation has become low ana
d~iscrcditable and, secondly, that to in
troducc more ignorance into our con
stitucncies must make it more low and
more discrcditablc. We may dodge
and twist and look the other way, but
from these plain propositions there is
absolutely no escape. The black man
may be acknowledgements
we are utterly without prccedents, or,
rather, the ~preccdcnts we have made
against the assumption. Bat if we sup.
pose him to be educated, it will ncces-
sarily have been work Of time, and in
the interim his employment OF the sui
lrage may have superseded the educa,
tional necessity. The notion that yo-
ting helps to educate has, Of course,
some demonstrable foundation, but not
enough to justify the enormous risks
which implicit dependence upon it
would in this case entail. We dislike
and reprobate the current slang about
"nigger- worshipping,'' "nigger rule"
and the like cheap phrases for catch
ing the ear and iattering the blind pref
udices Of the multitude as heartily as
any men can but as u matter ofsolcmn
carnestness we fear they express what
may prove to lie literal truths when un
~iversal or manhood suffrage shrll come.
The blacks will certainly then have the
balance ofpowcr and can rule The coun-
try more absolutely than their former
masters ruled it in the Olden time. 1t
is easy enough TO offer consolation in
the persons of exceptional individuals
and to promise chronological d~evelope-
ment which shall bring wonderful and
little-eXpected results. The fact re
mains that wherever in the world the
negro has power-that is to say, con
troll over himself or others-he is bar,
barian, a cannibal, q seller of his own
race into slavery.

The White Mans Government.

The results in Connecticut, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, nay, everywhere North,
are 4 true test, demonstrating that in
Practice, rs well as in Theory, even in
the North and West, the People intend
this to be a White Mans Government.
The counter Theory that this is a nc.
gro mans government, where, through
twelve States West Virginia, Tennes-
see and Missouri included,) the negro
is to hold the balance of power, and
govern the White men, even in the
North, is now forbidden by the North.
ern and Western People, and the quick
er the Jacobins abandon their theory
the better,-for it is only by revolution
that Southern Negro States a be for.
ced into Congress to govern Northern
and Western White People.
That this is a Government of White
men, exclusively for White men, is the
theory of the Constitution, and of hu-
man nature, TOO. Washington, .Madi-
son, Franklin & Co., all agreed in ma
king this a White mans government,
exclusively for White men, except
where the States chose to let in a few
Black men-then only for the States so
admitted. And that is the natural as
well as the theoretical Government, as
demonstrated in all places, where the
Negro has attempted, in vain, to gov
ern, viz: in Hayti, Jamaica, and Span
ish America generally. The mongrel

ments of Span ish America are, if posi-
bic, worse than the pure African.

THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE ISSUE.
(Journal of Commerce.)
If the returns from Ohio can be re-
lied upon the reaction against negro
suffrage is W. more determined than
was expected. This demand in favor
of TIE colored race has been made with
SO much ~denunciatory violence that it
has aroused q popular antipathy in a
corresponding degree, and it will be
very difficult for any faction to secure
favor for years to come while endors-
ing this measure. Had more moderate
councils prevailed, the Acknowledgement
of the more enlightened and better ed
ucated portion Of the race might have
been secured at an early date. The
persistent efforts to extend the elective
franchise to the ignorant masses just
redeemed from bondage, without names
home, or habits Of self.restraint has
diminished the prospect of any favor
in that direction during the existence
Of the present generation.
Tile ''Conservativs" Republican New.
(Times.
The leadership Of the Republican
party has grown arrogant and reckless.
In the adoption of measures and the
treatment of men it has been alike in
temperate and relentless. The most
extreme theories of the widest and
most impracticable theorizers have
been forced upont the party as the ba-
sis of its creed and the Oldest, strong
est and most devoted and efficient men
of the party have been spurned and ira.
duced, with reckless violence, if they
failed or faltered in giving their as
sent.
The truth is, the Republican party
grew too strong to be wise. 1t had so
much faith in its position that it lost
all prudence in defending it. 1t gain
ed so much popular strength from the
result of the war, that it felt itself in-
vincible, and became presumptuous.-
All questions of policy were treated
with contempt. Its leaders felt that
any ticket they might nominate was
sure OF success, no matter what might
be the character of the men, or the ma
ture ofthe measures to which they were
pledged. The first result of such a
course is to make the party which
adopts it corrupt--and the next is to
make it weak.
