is about as healthy" The Monitor is

Something worth Knowing.

We are posting our books, and getting
ready to send oat bills for subscription,
advertising and job work up to the lst Of
AprH, 1867, and iu week or two will be
prepared to present each one of our pat
rous with one of those neat little mis-
sives. We give this timely notice that
all who are In arrears may prepare them
selves to respond with promptness. We
desire to inaugurate such improvements
IN the Je6ersoaian as will place it in
position fully up to the times, and we
can do SO if our patrons will respond in
the same hberality of spirit which has
governed US in our refraining, for so long
a time, from dunning them. We detest
dunniDg, but the largeness of our de-
sires to have our paper, as itwere, ga man
among men," and the hold back-ativeness
of too many of our customers, compcls to
take the dose however nauseous. This is
the FIRST settlement, up TO given time,
that We have ever undertaken, and we
hope to be successful in it. OF the mass
OF our subscribers we have no cause to
complain, but there are some whose ac
counts stand for eight, ten and fifteen
years, without solitary dollar to their
credit. 1t is to these latter that our re.
marks are, and our attention in the fu-
ture shall be, more particularly devoted.

Democrats in the North, as well as the
South, should be fully alive to the im
portance of the new element thrust into
the politics of the country. 1t is very
possible that the next Presidential elec-
ton may be decided by the negro vote
We suppose it to be morally certain
that the new constitution of the State
of New York, to be framed this year,
will confer the elective franchise upon
all adult male negroes. We estimate
their number at six or seven thousand,
which, in a close contest, may turn the
scale in the election next year, should
the solid negro vote be cast Tor the
Republican candidates In many OF
the Southern States, there is so near an
approach to equality between the two
races that unless the negro vote Is dIyid
ed there is imminent danger that the no
litical control of those States will pass IN
to the hands of the Republican party
We have no faith in the success OF any
efforts to shut the negro element out oI
politics. 1t is the part of wisdom frankly
to accept the situation, and get before
hand with the Radicals in gaining an as
cendancy over the negro mind

Constitution finally set up by the people
whites and blacks-to receive the approval
OF Congress before il can go into opera

Constitution is, after all, to be the work of
Congress. Nominally, TO be sure, the peo-

inally. After the State Convention shall
have put it out Of their hands into those of

ALBANIA Unionists. Doubtless they
feel justified in becoming the oppo-
sers of their rebel neighbors, having
been subjected to every sort of per-
secution by them. But there is no
need of any addition to the catalogue
Of crimes i'm American statute books.
A failure to vote does not seem to
be any evidence Of moral turpitude,
and a neglect to exercise the privi-
lege in one instance should not bring
upon a man such unthought of con-
sequences.
What the nation wants-the south
especially-is peace. This could
not have been hoped for had the reb-
els been made the repositories of po-
litical power in that section, nor can
it be secured by schemes of confis-
cation, wholesale disfranchisement,
or trials for treason. If the Union
lists of the south are wise they will
turn away from such ideas, and with
as little delay as possible, present
to Congress Constitutions for their
States, whose just provisions shall
secure to every man his rights with
out regard to color or previous con-
dition, or past political transgres-
sions.
