CHINESE, NEGROES AND DIGoERs TO VoTE.
49, The doctrine of universal suffrage consti'
tnes the fundamental principle of the Radi-
cal party. |, is being carried into practical
effect in the Southern States at the poiut Of
the bayonet, and Sumner and Greeley have
proclaimed that it must prevail from the St.
johns to the Pacific. The Virginia Enter.
prise, the leading radical organ in the State
of Nevada, insists that the naturalization
laws shall be amended so as TO allow people
of all races and color TO become citizens of
the United States. The Times of this city,
the radical party organ in California, de-
clares itself in favor Of granting suffrage to
al! irrespective of color. We have, therefore,
the declarations Of the two leading spirits in
the East, and the mouth pieces of the party
in this State and Nevada, OF the purpose Of
thallparty to confer the right Of suffrage, on
all the negroes Indians and Cinnamon in
the country; for their language, if it has any
significance, means this. There is portion
of the Radical press that oppose the agita-
tion Of the question because they think it
would be impoitic, but not one raises its
voice against it. They prefer avoiding the
issue. They do not wish to confront the
people with it, but would sacrifice anything
to success. If successful, they would claim
that the people endorsed univemel suffrage
and proceed to enforce it, T1Iis the old
dodge with them. They cannot be trusted.

Proceeding to Forest Hill, after dinner we
circulated among the Democrats and found
the same good feeling and spirits we had
found elsewhere. We succeeded in raising
a good list of subscribers although many Of
the democrats were at work hundreds of feet
under ground in the mines, and who we
were unable to see. A Democratic club
was formed Saturday night last and the
Democracy of Forest Hill have gone to
work in earnest. Many changes have also
taken place there. The foreign citizens feel
they have been insnlted in the passage Of
the Regis,ery law, which makes distinctions
between foreign born and native citizens, and
they are determined 10 resent it at the ballot
box, by voting for Democrats who will re
peal the Infamous Act. 1t is not alone one
or two men but the intention seems to be
general. We have it from gentlemen who
have general acquaintance in the commu-
nifty that Forest Hill will wheel into line
with ber eishbor, Yankee Jim, aud roll up
a Democratic majority, for niggersm and all
other isms are getting at discount in that
community.
Towards evening ,he Colonel left US for
home, and as we parted we could not help
wishing for u few like him in every'precinc tin
the county. Always on the alert, and ever
ready TO talk and work for Democracy and
its principles, be sets an example which many
younger man might well follow. We hope
be may live to see the day when Democracy
shall once more be Triumphant, and peace and
happiness restored to the land.

to and fro over the county Of anxious candi

shows the alarm in the Radical camp. And
we'll may alarm take possession Of them for
the sober second thought" Of the people is
returning-the people know and feel that
the Radical leaders have abused their conf
dsnce, have imposed ouerous taxation upon
them without stint or measure, and have at,
tempted to elevate the negro to position
equal to the whites, which bis capacity un'
ables him TO fill, and which God himself
never intended be should. A thousand acts
of injustice and oppression have the Radicals

"ThiS Great Country"

We are told that there was paper in
Cincinnati which was very much given to
"highfailtin" on the subject of "this great
country" until rival paper somewhat
modified its continual bounce with the fol-
lowing burlesque nc
aThis is glorious country! 1t has
longer rivers and more of them. and they
are muddier and deeper, and run faster,
and rise higher, and make more noise, and
fall lower, and do more damage than any
body else's rivers. 1t has moro lakes, and
they are bigger, and deeper, and clearer
and wetter than those of any other country.
Our rail-cars are bigger, and run faster,and
pitch off the track oftener, and kill more
people than all other rail-cars in this and
every other country. Our steamboats, car
ry bigger, loads, are longer and broader,
burst their boilers oftener, send up their
passengers higher, ard the captains swear
harder than steamboat captains in any
other country. Our men are bigger, long
er and thicker, can fight harder and faster,
drink more mean whiskey, chew more bad
tobacco, and spit more and spit farther
than in any other country. Our ladies
are richer, prettier, dress finer, spend more
money, break more hearts, wear bigger
hoops, shorter dresses, and kick up the
devil generally to greater extent than all
other ladies in all other countries. Our
children squall louder, grow faster, get too
expensive for their pantaloons, and become
twenty years old sooner by some months

Luxury.

The fact is, that, judged by the anly ra-
tional test of economy, the difference be-
tween income and expen 1iture, the Anaeri-
caus are the most economical people in the
world. 1t is fallacy to suppose that the
nation as whole spends more in luxury
that it can afford to spend. When wise
acres run down to the custom house, ex-
anime the tables of imports, and come back
wringing their hands over the general ex-
travagance, they forget that, although silks
and satins are imported or manufactured
in bales and boxes, they are intended to be
cutup into single dresses, and arc bought
by individual women, who as general
rule, know how much they can afford to
lay out on such things, and lay out this
and no more. At the bottom of two
thirds of the lamentations we hear about
the luxury of the times, there. is the feeling
that NEARLY everybody is living. beyond
his means. The truth is, there is hardly
anybody who does live within his means.
Every house and church and bridge and
road and lacqueduct and work of art and
ornament and book in the United states is
due to the general habit of saving some
thing out Of the yearly income The enor-
nous increase in the total wealth of the
country which is recorded in each census
report is due to the same cause. In fact
there is nothing which people do more
generally, more zealously, more eagerly
and more anxiouslY, than save; there is
no instinct in human nature, except the
| parental instinct. stronger than the in
stinct of accumulation. Therefore, wher
we take up the Custom-IIouse returns, and
read that this year and last we bought ar
enormous quantity of diamonds and Lace
and silks and pictures, it is very absurd tt
| rush to the conclusion that we are running
ourselves and getting these things OF
credit. 3t3 h' b5HiA3 5'ii ~ 4 a3
