American Free Trade League, Of which the first
number has reached us. It is printed Of the e1-
penss Of the League, and makes very handsome
appearance. We OF the South, before the war,
were nearly all free traders in principles; and be-

TIE PACT THAT JoHR STUART MILL got seventy
three votes in the House Of Commons in favor OF
giving the suffrage to women is cited as proof OF
the progress which that cause is making in Eng
land. But we doubt whether all who voted for it
would have done 50 had they supposed there was
any prospect Of its succeeding. 1t was regarded
as matter Of no practical Importance, and votes
were therefore given for it rather nom good ma
tre than conviction. It is noted, moreover, as .
curious faot, that the great mass Of the Liberal
partyin England, the working people themselves
regard it with dsfsvor, and will oppose it actively
whenever 1t becomes practical question: The
same thing is observable here. The negroes, who
are the latest recipients Of the surage are among
the first to protest against giving the ballot to wo-
men. l. We shall probably never find the negro vote
in favor Of any further extension OF the suffrage
now that they have been admitted to its benefits
They will certainly never vote for giving it to for
eieners and thus far they are opposed 70 giving it
to women. go -.
