NEGRO SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT TO THE
PENNSY LyANIA CoSsTITUTIoN.-The
amendment to the Constitution Of Penn
sylvania giving negroes the right to vote
was finally debated last Tuesday evening,
and afterwards voted upon. When the
vote was taken there were found but thir
teen honest Radicals who had the courage
to vote in its favor, and seventy-three
votes were cast against it. In view Of the
coming Presidential election, these cow
ardly fellows backed out Of the support OF
their favorite measure, to which their
party is committed from one end Of the
country to the other. While these Radi-
Gals are willing enough to force negro suE
frage on the people of the South at the
point Of the bayonet, they refuse to allow
the question to go before the people of
Pennsylvania. There never was q more
significant instance Of bad faith and double
dealing. What will the negroes Of the
South think Of their friends Of Pennsylva-
MIA deserving them at this critical period
simply because they have not the courage
to stand by their principles? Cuffee and
Sambo are patted on the back in the South
because they can be made the instrument
to enslave the whites, but in Pennsylvania
they are deserted for fear of the indigna-
ton of the people.-Doylesto1rn (Pa.) De-

of conservation to this work that we
will discourage any tendency to the secu-
larization of our ministry, or diversion of

our Judgment the duties Of good minis
ter of Jesus Christ are sufficient to en-
ploy all his time; that we encourage one
another to persevere in the work of the

ceive and reward all who endure to the
