An Eloquent Appeal.

THE reply of the colored citizens of
South Carolina to the insolent Democratic
address which told them they might
choose between voting for Seymour and
Blair and starvation, is one of the most ad-
mirable documents Of the campaign. Con-
trasted with the speeches of Wade Hamp-
ton, Cobb, Semmes, Toombs and the other
Southern Democratic leaders, with the ar
ticles in the Southern Democratic papers,
and the action of the Georgia Legislature,
it is wisdom beside folly. But, apart from
its excellent temper and its unanswerable
argument, it contains vivid picture of the
proposed Democratic policy toward that
part of the population OF the United States
for which it speaks. And that every
Northern voter may understand what kind
of peace is to be expected when Mr.. Frank
Blair's policy of overthrowing the South
ern governments by the sword is carried
out, let him remark this extract from the
reply of which we speak:
"When your Legislature met in 1866
you passed that infamous black code which
is disgrace to civilization. In that you
denied us all rights in common with other
people in the State; you by these acts de-
MED our children the schOOl-house you
imposed penalties upon us which w sc not
imposed ON white men there were crimes
for which, if committed by white man,
he was imprisoned, but if committed by a
black man he was hung We submit to
you whether that course was not enough
to make US disbelieve every protestation OF
love which you make Your laws provid-
ed for taking and binding out our chill.
dren, and subjecting us to all manner OF
disabilities. We could not pursue any
trade or calling in this State without q
written permission from some white man
we could not sell any article of barter
without the consent first obtained from
some magistrate"
After declaring that such policy neces.
sarily alienated the sympathy of the new
voters, and that if the Democratic leaders
had accepted in good faith the proposed
reconstruction, they would have polled q
hundred thousand colored voters fol
Southern instead of Northern white mer
| for office, the address pertinently asks
"Can you ask us to sustain party which
is pledged to divest us of all the privileges
| in law which we now enjoy?" And in q
strain which will find the most sincere re-
| sponse in every generous and manly
| American heart, the address concludes
eff we are to be massacred because we
| refuse to vote the Democratic ticket; il
we are to be murdered in cold blood be
cause we will not sell our manhood, ther
let it come; we can die but once, and if
as you state, thirty millions of white mer
are going to fall upon four millions be-
cause they are black, and will not vote fol
Horatio Seymour and F. P. Blair for Pres
ident and Vice-President of the United
States, both of whom have declared that
the negroes have no right to vote, then
we are prepared to die, but not to vote
to be killed. We ask nothing at the
hands of our fellow-men but a fair chance
in the race of life, and equal opportunities
for ourselves, our wives, and our children
| We ask no more"

The New Suffrage hin sf Or. stevens.


"Old Tbad" has at length reached the rad-
cal ultimatum on The suffrage question in
bill which he has introduced in Congress pro-
viding the right Of suffrage 10 every male citi-
zen Of the United States in al Presidential
elections and in oil State elections, and that
al elections shall be by ballot. This is very
important amendment Of the radical recon-
struction system. which, as 1t stands, enforces
universal negro suffrage only upon the unre-
constructed rebel States. Mr.. Stevens thinks
no doubt that sauce for the goose should
be sauce for the sander," and hence he
honestly proposes the expansion Of universal
negro suffrage BY act Of Congress over all the
States The States Of Ohio and New York, for
instance, In rejecting universal negro suffrage,
are to be treated just like North and South
Carolina and brought under proper discipline

The Lato Ohio Congressional EIection-A
Significant Result.

Tho Late Ohio Congressional EIectiUn-A
Significant Result.
There was an election held in tho Eighth
district of Ohio on Monday last to ill
vacancy in Congress resulting from the death
of Mr. Hamilton, late one Of the regularly
elected delegates Of said State. In this elec-
ton General Beatty. the republican candidate,
II appears, was chosen by more than thou
sand majority over Mr. Burns the democratic
candidate This majority, in view Of the fact
that this Congressional district was carried by
General Hayes, the republican candidate for
Governor, last October, by only some two hun
dred and fifty majority becomes . matter Of
some significance. How are we to account for
this republican gain In this district since last
October. The true explanation, we think,
may be given in one word-Pendleton. Since
the Ohio October election the democrats Of
that State and OF all the Northwest have been
shouting the glories Of Pendleton and pro-
claiming him the preordained standard bearer,
embodiment and expounder of the party Tor
the next Presidency. And who is this immacu-
late Pendleton' He is, perhaps, the best liv-
ing representative of the principles and policy
pursued by the Northern copperhead peace
faction during the late rebellion. Upon his
record he was most sgnally swamped in Ohio
in 1854, ss Q man Of the same political type
and stripe as vallandigham and now in 1868,
when the democrats trot him out again, the
people Of Ohio avail themselves of the first
opportunity to repudsts him. The best thing
that Mr.. Pendleson can do therefore, is to
follow the example Of Horatio Seymour by
formally and positively Withdrawing from the
Presidential contest.
