I Laugh at this! OF course people, will
laugh, Just as they laughed till the tears
came into their eyes in Louisiana in
1850; and yet; through this aboplinable
heresy that a white man. is fit to be
ruled by negro, ale black African is
the Lieutenant-Governor of Louisiana
to-day. Universahnegro suffrage would
give about nine hundred thousand .Ahl-
can voters, North and South, and nine
hundred thousand votes would compel
the Vice Presidency. at Chicago the
saints sat in convention with the negro,
and if good enough to nominate why
not good enough to be nominated? In
equalities are odious, you know. 1t is

Florida they thus resolved in their Boz
gus convention, and though the cry was
stifed in Congress, it shall powibe heard:
Rssolued, That the Congress of the
United States be; and it hereby is, re-
qqcsted to propose an amendment to
the Constitution Of the United States,
to. be submitted to the different States
for their adoption, establishing equal
and uniform, suffrage for adj male citi-
zens Of the United States throughout
all the States Of the Union. - a'
More than this, even in the Times
and Tribune, cantior as they are from
the exigencies of the canvass, there
peeps out this pulposeto enfranchise the
African in all the States. Muttering
aboutethe election: Of negroes from the
pretended Legislature Of Georgia, they
hint that the XIVth amendment gives
that race right to hold Office. q so,
then, as that amendment, so far as tits
an amendment, is equally applicable to
all the States, it follows that by it the
negro has as good right to office in
New York as in Georgia, in Ohio as in
Louisiana OF course this will be de-
MED. The saints are forever denying
something that they afterwards do.
They denied emancipation, subjugation,
negro suffrage South, but they did them
for all that, and, just as they now deny
amy purpose to force negro suffrage in
the North, they will surely do It, if in
their power, Counted in States, negro
suffrage is fen out of thirty:seven; in
Senators, it is twenty out of seventy.

shame, that with such an issue we should
be deliberately insulted by party de
claring us no better than these helpless
-barbarians: They have never ruled any
body, not even themselves, and mother
can nor ought to rule us in any the re-
