conviction on this head should not prejudice
our cause with honest Republicans, for Re-
publican legislatures have this very year
acted on the right in the Northern States,
and even Congress dares not deny II in rela-
tion to the South except by subterfuges which
are easily exploded But if we can get this
right fully acknowledged, we shall gain all
that is most essential. When the subject
sinks from national to State question, it
will no longer be dangerous element of
disoord.
Another point on which all Democrats are
agreed is the unftness of the Southern negroes,
Just let loose from brutalizing servitude, to
make a wise use of the elective franchise. If
the privilege should be conferred upon them
by the unextorted consent of the States, we
should regret and deprecate, but could not
constitutionally resist it. But the subject is
presented in different aspect when the rights
of the States and the fitness of things are to
be violated by the same stroke; when the
national Government, instead of keeping quiet
in business that does not concern it, inter
NEEDLES to accomplish mischievous object.
There are many Democrats who would not
withhold their approval Of a qualified negro
suffrage, such as has long been established in
New York; but there is no Democrat who,
either as citizen of a State or of the Union,
would consent to take any step to promote
universal negro suffrage.
is unanimous; but if the first were conceded,
Democrats would attach comparatively little
Importance to the second, believing that the
subject can be safely left to the authority of
the State, and that the people of one State
are not called upon to intermeddle with the
suffrage in another. But there are many Re-
publicans, not averse in other respects to
act with us, who require to be convinced
OF the safety of leaving this question to the
decision of the Southern States. The consti-
tutional argument, though conclusive, does
not impress them so long as their sense of
justice is not satisfied. They desire soma
stable assurance that the negroes will be pro-
tected in their rights, and so long as negro
suffrage seems to them the only secure bar
rier against oppression, they will refuse to act
with the Democratic party. Now policy, as
well as justice, requires us to concede, with
every token of sincerity, the fullest enjoyment
of all civil rights to the negroes. The right to
buy and sell, to learn aud practise every art
and trade, to hold real estate, to sue and give
testimony in all the courts, to suffer no other
or greater punishments than are inflicted on
white citizens for the same offenses, are rights
which the whole Democratic party must admit
to belong to the negroes; not grudgingly but
from free and spontaneous sense of Justice.
The suffrage is demanded for them on the pre-
tense that is necessary for the protection of
their civil rights. We must rebut this pre-
tencs by showing that their civil rights are
perfectly secure without the elective franchise.

Our own convictions have been in favor of
contraction, and we suggest modification of
the law under which it has been carried on
simply as a matter of expediency. We believe
that compromise might be effected now with
no further surrender of principle than is i'm
piled in the stoppage of contraction. If there
be a desire to contend for words, let 1t be said
that contraction is for a season suspended.
Let what has been done remain undisturbed.
And on the hypothesis that more greenbacks
cannot be called in without damage to mercan-
tile interests, and that the discretionary power
vested in the Secretary is a menace from
which these interests should be freed, let it be
declared that reliance will hereafter be placed
upon the growing wants of the country to
absorb any existing surplus in the volume
of currency. By assuming this ground
avowedly as a compromise, the infationists
may be deprived of the only auxiliaries that
can render them formidable, the opposition TO
the Treasury will be reduced to one of degree,
and not of principle, and the country will re-
joice in settlement which, while apparently
postponing specie payments, will remove
the uncertainty which, for some time past,
has paralyzed all departments of business.
The opportunity is one which Mr.. McCulloch
should-not neglect. By a graceful surrender
of points which he can scarcely hope to retain,
he may conciliate a moderate and powerful
interest which the experience of the last year
has alienated from him, and may counteract
the efforts in which the advocates of inlation
are engaged. The attainment of these ends is
surely worth trial.

THE speech Of the emperor,

From the ". y. Tribune.
The sword 'Of Damocles always suspended
over the peace of Europe by single hair,
trembled as if it would fall when the Emperor
Napoleon, in violation of his treaties, sent the
French troops to Rome. No bolder step has
been taken by France than this. 1t was a
position from which it was impossible to re-
cede, and if diplomacy failed to maintain it,
France must have accepted war. The move
ment excited the jealousy of Prussia, and was
openly meant to prevent the unity of Italy;
throughout the whole of Europe it was un-
popular in the extreme, and nowhere less
popular than in France itself. 1t seemed as if
Louis Napoleon had risl1ed the peace Of Europe
merely to postpone the inevitable downfall of
the Papal rule, and his interference was almost
universally thought to be another blunder,
like the Mexican invasion. But it was not
blunder; it was policy. The Emperor under
stood the situation, and his boldness has been
rewarded with success.
The speech of Napoleon before the Senate
and Corps Legislatif explains everything. 1t
explains why the Italian Government not only
allowed him to defeat Italian unity but
actually aided his armies. 1t explains why
Prussia, knowing France to be her great rival
and natural enemy, again permitted Napoleon
Europe, and adhered to perfectly neutral
policy. That explanation is the fear of repub-
lieanism. Garibaldi, when he advanced upon
Rome, claiming it as the citadel of Italy, re-
presented the people and the rights of the
nation, and as their representative he was
crushed The armed intervention OF France,
the neutrality of Prussia, the arrest of Carl
baldi by order of Victor Emanuel, consti-
tuted combination of mOnarchs against

Europe was frightened and inoensed that a

Congress ana the prophets.

From The NJ Y. Times
The fact that Congress met and adjourned
until Monday is a suggestive commentary on
the sayings of certain prophets who foretold
haste and vengeance. According to these pre-
dictions, not an hour was to be lost after the
expiration of the prescribed interval. We were
assured that the members impatently awaited
the chance of showing what they could do, and
that within three days of their reassembling
they would be in the midst of work. Why else
were they averse to waiting until the day ap-
pointed for the regular session Why, if not
on the suppositon that the business before
them was too urgent to be deferred
Only the reputation of the prophets suffers
from the nOn-fulflment OF their prophecies;
Congress does not. Their loss is its gain. 1t
has shown discretion, which is more glorious
than ferocious spirit. 1t has evinced dis
position to wait; and waiting implies coolness,
reflection, judgment, and sense qualities
which are more noticeable because differing
from the passions imputed to it by the
prophets.
The Judiciary Committees report on i'm
peachment is promised for Monday, and we
trust there will be no further delay in its pre-
sentation. The sooner that subject is disposed
of the better. II has been used as bugbear
quite long enough. Now give us the whole
benefit of the investigation. Tell us what the
Committee have discovered, and what they
think of their discoveries. Bring the matter
to an issue, and end it one way or another. If
tragedy is in rehearsal, preparations should
be made for its solemnities; if force, get it
over, and clear the stage for weightier per-
fOrmances.
For in the coming session Congress must
think of more than its own pleasure. 1t is
charged with more than the good name of its
members. The credit and future of the party
it represents is in its keeping. Its action will
confer renewed success on the Republican
party, or entail upon it disaster The states
manship of the party is on its trial, and by
the work of next session will it be Judged.
If the House will remember its responsibilities
in this respect, we shall not hear much after
next week of impeachment, or of the other
extreme measures of which the prophets have
positively spoken. They will be set aside
summarily, to make loom for more creditable
projects.
Liberality. and wisdom in the final adjust
ment Of the reconstruction question-fairness
and sagacity in the disposal of currency diff
culties-vigor impartiality, and good faith in
curtailing the expenditures of Government
boldness, thoroughness, and promptitude in
the reduction of burdens, and the equitable
appOrtiOnment of taxes that are to be levied
these are the more obvious of the many prac-
tical questions with which the fortunes of the
Republican party are identified. Congress
cannot evade them if it would, and its treat
ment of them will determine its own fate.
Works, not faith, will achieve its salvation.
