The RAssAGE IoR THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE
AMEEDMENT.---Aft After many trials and tEt6us
lations, the Radicals in the Legislature have
finally screwed up their courage to the
sticking point, by proposing to the people
TO strike the word white - out OF the State
ConstitHtfon, SO as to put negroes on the
same political level, in all respects, with
white fitizenss thas reqpired3 as weshays
said an in;sn nense amptlnt Of nEglng and
fFSh hipping ID ptupon the part Of the Radt-
Gals to induce the party leaders to bring the
people face to face with this proposition.A
They have finally aceothpI Iished 1t; and we
have no regrets over it. We think now is
2 very proper and aceeptable time e test
There can be no dodgfng or equivocation
in regard 0the eissueto be decided this fall.
Il will be fair and square fight onsa prop-
ositioa so plain that nobody scan mislh-
derstand it.. The Republican party, which
two. years ago nominated gentleman for
Governor, Gen. Cox. who wrote most able
and convincing letter against negro sui
frage, have nov made that the great Issue,
and put it on, the. front of their banners
We shall see how many of them, who then
sustained Gen. ;CoK,5will new reverse their
action, and in obedience to party neeessi-
ties, s eat their own words" then spoken.
The work of organization and of canvasslng
for the State ought to Immediately COM
mence., = White Mans Clubs, - formed
upon that single issue, and embracing men
Of all parties who are opposed to negro suf-
frage, negro Jurors and negro amalgama-
tion generally, should be instituted in eve-
ry ward and township in the State. From
this time until the electioP,,w should have
a CORPS of speakers in the field TO arouse and
intorm the pm Bile 5ud gmeht. We can, by
vigorous canvass, beat this negro suffrage
amendnent, by nearly as large mai iority
as1i 1it was done lately in Illinois, n ew York
and other States, where the preponderance
against it counted by tens and even hund-
redsof thousands But twill require work
and vigorous action to do it.-St. CldirsUtlle

| q SHALL THE WoRD NH1rEr BE STRICKEN
FROM THE CONSTITUTION ?-The Legislature
has passed a resolution requiring vote of
the people, atthelnealt October election, on
the question of negro suffrage
| We have often expressed the sentiment
that onrsisa tohits mans goVemtnen6 and
so intended by its founders. There is no
more -propriety in extending the right OF
franchise to negroes than to women or
aliens. The argument in favor of the one,
equally applies to the other. We oppose
negro suffrage because it is calculated to
disturb the harmony of society. This mix
ture of the races Isl alike repugnantl to- ma
ture and reason. w e trust this fanaticism
o!fathe, day will berebuked by the people
of the State.-Stark County Democrat.
