Democrat VS. Democrat.

The Democracy of the North de-
clare the negroes to be mass of ig~
norant ounces, to whom the extern
sion of the franchise is absurd, and
at once shameful and ridiculous. On
the contrary, the Democracy Of the
South hold a very different opinion
as to the intelligence of the blacks.
For example : one of the resolu-
tons of the Democratic Convention
of South Carolina declares that " un-
der the action OF the State of South
Carolina, heretofore taken, we rec
ognize the colored population of the
State as an intelligent element of the
body polite. ;" The negroes of that
territory being SO numerous, the
Democracy there have a better OPP
portunity of estimating their intelii-
gence than they have in the North,
where only about one in eighty of
the whole population are OF African
descent.

Progress in Russia.

We print some very interesting
observations on the. changes which
have been wrought in the frame
work of society in Russia by the i'm
perial edict freeing the serfs, and by
the outgrowth of that event. A re-
mark able similarity will be noticed
in the effects with those produced in
this country by the abolition of sla-
very. The primary conditions were
much the same. The community IN
both localities was divided into three
classes-those who owned the soil.
those who were known as "white
trash, and those who were chattles.
In both localities the middle class
was kept in ignorance and made
tools OF the large property holder,
by the degradation of the servant eli>
meht, and by the policy of the land,
ed aristocracy. Schools were there
in plenty, but the cost of education
made knowledge a badge of the
slaveholding few. The schoolmaster
was not encouraged to go abroad
among the masses, lest their eyes
might be opened, and they might be-
hold how they were putting mana
Giles upon themselves, But the mo,
ment predial slavery, in the one case
and chattel slavery, in the other, is
abolished, the scene is transformed.
Progress. rid OF rnwonted and OBJ
stinate impe 1iments, marches on
rapidly. The servant class becomes
enthusiastic in behalf of education.
School housas arise on every hand as
by magic. The work of q century
seems to have been accomplished in
one year. The lazy owners OF the
soil, who have lived off the uncom>
pensated labor of their fellow>crea>
lures, and who have excited envy in
many heart by their capacity for
luxury and lavish expenditure, are
driven themselves into economy and
effort. The State, as in a moment,
is reinforced by the strength of mill
ions of new made patriots, ready TO
shed the last drop of their blood TO
preserve the flag which has brought
them such rich blessings. AT one
mighty pound, Russia has advanced
from half barbaric condition to
place among the most civilized of
nations The freedom conferred up.
on the serfs has made Russia the
most powerful of all European ma
tions. In case of war, it could rely
upon the former slaves of the soil
for the most faithful and the most
numerous of her soldiers. History
will assign TO Alexander the place
of the most saga cious statesman
and the wisest sovereign that coun>
try ever had. not excepting Peter
the Greatly Chicago Republican.
