NEGR0-sgPaEMaCy.

1t is now forty or fifty years since
the possession ofproperty as qualif-
cation for voting was generally abolish
| ed. From that auspicious day, this
country has been ruled, not by its
wealth, but by its laboring white mass
es. The great majority of this class
have owned little or no property be-
yond their household effects and the
implements of their several vocations.
Generally possessing the rudiments of
learning, frequently well educated, and
often exhibiting rare intellectual at
tainmonts, they have been guided in
their political action by keen instincts
and common sense, which have more
tina supplied the place Of the lore
taught at the universities. Mingline
among and sympathizing with this
class, have been seen not a little Of the
genius and culture of the country, also
poor in this worlds goods, but rich in
those imperishable gifts and acquire
ments that wealth cannot buy. To
these two classes, possessing no appre-
ciable property, and especially to the
laboiing masses, the Republic is in
debted for its rapid growth, its vast
resources, its gigantic power, its bril-
liant fame, and the success wherewith
it has vindicated the wisdom and ener-
gy of political system that protects
alike the poor and the rich, the weak
and the strong, and confers equal
rights upon all.
In the future as in the past, the
destiny of this country will be con-
trolled by the white laboring masses.
Those who assert that it is about to be
subjected to the rule of the black race,
pay poor compliment to the solid
sense and superior numbers of those
who have governed it SO long and so
well. Let us impale this bugbear on
nine digits.
The number of voters in the United
States is about 5,SQ0,0OO. This ag-
gregate is obtained as follows: The
votes cast by The loyal States tor Presi-
dent in 1854 were 4,034,7S0. The
number given in 1860 by the IL
rebel States that did not vote in 1864
was 1,047, 800. Add to these two
sums 100000 for the increase in the
North since 1864, and 100000, the
estimated number of negroes recently
enfranchised, and the aggregate is
1912, ,2S9. Deduct therefrom 100, 900
for rebels temporarily disfranchised,
and the balance is 5,S12,2Sg.
Now the whole number Of negro
voters in the United States does not
The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-03-04

exceed 100000. Hence the white
voters exceed the black full 5000, 900
or in the proportion of more than 6
el.
In the North, negro voters are SO
few as not to be an appreciable quan-
tity. When the Southern whites
abandon, as they will at the earliest
opportunity, their suicidal policy Of
non-yoting, there will not be more
than one State-South Carolina-and
after short time not even one, where
in the black voters will not be in a
minority, while in nearly all of them
the whites will be in large majority
In the l6 old "slave States" their
majority will be full 100000, or near
| ly 2 to l-the white vote being about
| 100000 and the black about $780,
| 600.
So stand the figures to-day. For
obvious reasons, the difference in IA
vor Of the whites will rapidly increase
from year to year. These facts laugh
to scorn the simulated fear that the
whole Union, or any section it, is in
the slightest danger of being subjected
to negro supremacy" And thus We
wesee that, when dragged into the light
this horrid spectre turns out to be the
vcriest phantom ever conjured up by q
morbid imagination.

tuc treasury, 4Vi tue SAVES the nation
emancipated and the two Demo-
cratic Legislatures of Ohio and New
Jersy endeavor to withdraw the assent
of those States to the benefcent Con-
stitutional Amendment, leaving the
door open for the presentation of these
Democratic claims if Democratic
Congress could be chosen.
| will not extend this letter by a
defense ofthe Congressional policy of
Reconstruction, for Senator Morton's
able vindication of it has covered the
whole ground unanswerably. Suffice
it to say, that Congress, having au-
thorized the suffrage of every free man
in the Southern States, Rebels and all,
except those who, by violating official
oath, had added perjury to treason,
and the Democratic party having de-
nounced us for this limited and tempo
rary disfranchisement, the same party
shouts its rejoicings over the fact that
the remainder of the unrepentant
Rebels in Alabama have recently and
uolualariy distranehisad themselves, in
the vain attempt to prevent the re-
organization of that State on loyal
basis.
Nor is this all. The President
now in full sympathy with the same
Democratic party which opposed his
election-the same person, who, as
candidate, declared that trcasoa
should bemade odious, but who, Chief
Magistrate, is the hope and admiration
Of every Rebel in the land-whose
oath binds him "to take care that the
laws be faithfully executed" and who
keeps it by striking down officer after
officer for the performance Of this duty
who retains in Office and under
salary as his Attorney General a
gentleman who says publicly that he
will not appear before the Court to
defend "the laws" from hostile attack

which he claims that these Executive
officers should bein unison with him.
stand at last selt-convicted before the
country as having striven to induce
the General Of our Armies to defy a
law he did not himself dare to resist.
Signally failing in this, his Democratic
supporters unite in bitter denunciations
of that single-hearted and illustrious
officer, with epithets which l will not
soil these pages by repeating. Butthe
heart of the country, always generous
and just, turns toward this gallant and
slandered commander, with even more
affection than before, and longs for the
hour when, at the ballot-box, the
people will vindicate his fair tamo
from these malignant aspcrsions, and
call him to that seat of power and
responsibility which has been honored
by the Father of the Country that our
greatest soldier saved.
And the Congress, to whose fidelity
and infcxible frmness the nation,
despite the criticism of friend or foe,
owes the prevention of Rebel recon-
struction in the South, viii, instead OF
taking any backward step, "spcak to
the people that they go forward z"
until every star on our banner paled
though they may have been by treason,
shall shine with that brilliancy which
only loyalty insures. Very truely

THE TYRO's MISTAKE

When we first started out to write for the
papers,
Our pom, AMI our fancy cut all sorts of
capers;
With ardent desires and ambition aspiring,
To have all the sages and lasscs admiring
We sent off few stanzas, both racy and
dashing,
And expected to hear a most wonderful
crashing
But never O sound came back from the Office
Thinks we, Mr.. Editor, you'll have nothing
Otfus
So we sat down and wrote HIM short
spicy letter,
And told him thai typos ought surely
know better,
Than discard productions OF value and merit
And that he lacked sense and had better now
hear 1t.
His reply was as calm as the aim of a
gunner
To our high asperations it was dead
sumner,
"Your fayor's received and we doubtless
could sell it,
Had you fought your pen rightly to form and
to spell it,
Your sheet we return, not because we
don't need 1t,
But, Iardon our plainness, we're unable
to read it
MORAL.
Now one and all who wish to rise,
From my mistake take warning
Wen rear no castles to the Skies
While little bricks we're scorning.
For human lite's a ladder high,
With many toisome round,
One end is far beyond the sky,
The Others on the ground.
And II you would its summit reach
Move cautious, sure and Slows
Thus every step win something teach,
And Wisdom with yOugo.
