The New York Tribune Is out ior
what il calls "nationnliEing Tho
right or suffrage" or, in other words
in favor OF taking the regulation ri
tho elective franchise from the States,
Tho motive for this is 10 compel NIL
tho States to permit negroes To vote
Should this move bo successful all
the oolored races will come in under
il, and wo shall not only have the
negroes ut the ballot.box choosing
our rulers, but Indians, Chinese,
and The mongrcl hordcs upon our
Mexican borders. China, with her
four hundred millions, can send III
voters enough TO ovcrwhclm the
Pacific States and when they ind
thoy can govern here, they VIII be-
likely to como in shoals.
The Tribune, and it's confrercs,
formerly thought 'omo intelligence
was necessary TO direct tho choice
Of public agents and institute public
policy. They no longer think 80
irhey have received new light, and
row view government ms a very
simple piece Of machinery, thstnn!y,
dundcrhead can understand ana
work a. easily as he can turn the
crank and grind a tune cut "f II
kurdy gurdy. Ifthcy can bamboo
sle the people into a concurrence
with. this project, the experiment
will soon DO in operation, and our
social condition and government
will resemble that of the nclghbor'
ing republics south ofus, where the
blessings Of mongrel supremacy are
strikingIy cxempIificd.
Our Impression is, however, that
tho people Of this country are too
wise to run into such folly, and that
they nover will admit any OF the
inferior races to share in their gov
srnment. The experiment OF the
stability ola free government isyet
but an experiment in the hands OF
the superior Caucasian. 1t has fa'i-
cd, heretofore, throughoutthe world;
and hero it has only encountered
difficulties and dangers in conso-
suencs Of tho presence ofan inferior
race. To the thoughtful citizen
regarding the best interests ofevery
grade Of humanity among us, the
Wisost should govern. And it IL
better, for tho lower races, that they
should DO sheltered by the steady
government of wisdom and human
ftv. than that they should bring
u6on their own heads the disasters
certain to follow the in!ermcddllng
OF ignorance and incompetence in
The conduct of public affairs.
Whom wo speak of the people, OF
OF American citizens, we do not in
clude any but the noble race that
discovered America, who won ita
Independence, who formed its gov
srnmoat, and who alone ars capa'
bio Of welding it. And what the
people want is, rs expressed by a
cotemporary, "white govern'aen1'
for white mon. and the States len
10 q control of thoir own domestic
institutions. They want reform IN
the various departments Of govern
meu.s the offices cleared of thieves
and ~ indlers, and fllod with hon
est men, that the Taxpayers OF
America know what has become o.
the money they have paid into tho
national treasury. They want al
thS rights and privileges as freemer
thst were vouchsafed us by the Con
stitution ofthe United States; and
20 regain these rights; to maintain
that Constitution; to maintain The
Union to protect the toiling mase'
ofAmsrica In the enjoyment OF then
earnings;to protect all in theirrighi.s'
