NEW YORK, August 2l.-At meeting of
the tobacco manufacturers resolutions were
adopted that no tobacco can be inspected

ized In the list Of African virtues. by a
process like this, which our article Is
already too much extended further TO de-
velop, has the negro been educated so
that now, having had no advantages Of
educalion, excep, that Of the interested
example 10 which we have referred, he ~
not only without all knowledge ilting
him to govern, but is so ignorant oil the
gull, Of peculatsns and dishonest acts
that In mercy he ought not to be
subject to the penalties for the vio-
lation Of law which are visited with JUS
tice on whites. How many years it will
take to give them just conceptions Of
their interests and duties and the rights
of others we know not But, at least
until they are so informed aud inclined,
the reason which should exclude an idiot
from the polls, or a creature convict OF on
Infamous crime, should exclude them.
Short of this, whatever party may gain
BY this agency Of the negro as voter,
the country will lose and suffer. A tenn
porizing policy on this subject may pre-
vail for aught we know, even with a ma
iority Of Democrats. But for one, we
wash our hands of that matter. Our in
nuenoe may be little or much, but it shall
be exerted in behalf Of what looks to the
future well-being Of the country, rather
than to a present success OF party,
whether that be for or against us. Such
reason for the enfranchisement Of an
ignorant and degraded race can never,
in our mind, warrant or excuse it. And
we think that both parties of white men
should be equally inaexible in their OPP
position to it. 1t will not pay the Demo
cratic party to stultify itself in this mat
ter, any more than it will the country to
hand over the government to barbarians.
We must submit to what may come,
and endure as well as we can what oil
evil is unavoidable. But this we have at
least the satisfaction to know, that negro
suffrage, in legal form, shall never be
fixed on our country or State with our
consent. We would not give it to en-
franchise every disfranchised man in the
country tomorrow. That the courts
may do or omit But enfranchisement
will come, and we bde our time.

shall the franchise be Extended /.

If the question of negro suffrage was
one for to-day, and for moment only
we should be more careless about it than
we are. But it is q question for our
whole future. 1t is urged for no better
reason by any of our contemporaries, so
far as we know, than as matter ofpolicy,
as a present expedient by which some
hone TO win. We should like to be on the
winning side for once or so, we confess.
But we are by no means certain that such
is the way to victory. And even if we
were. we are still less certain that the vic
tory would not be accomplished at too
high a cost. We want at least good
whistle if we pay high price foEit' To
have no better reason for public mea-
sure of grave Importance than doubtful
triumph today, even though it should
have some moderate value in contest in
which really the chances are heavily
AGAINST you at the best, is, in our
view. 10 have no sufficient reason at all.
To adopt as sound, the policy Of enlarg-
inc the present constitutional American
standard of enfranchisemeBt by extend
ing it without limit TO an ignorant,
vicious and semi-bsrbarous class OF peo-
pie of another race, is TO try dangerous
experiment, and ley a burden on the
great effort for republican liberty, now
supposed to be making on this continent,
which may be too heavy to be borne, and
which may render it abortive. II still a
hope remains, We see no wisdom in
abandoning the conditions on which it
rests.
We have suffered numerous ills, not
only of war, but of peace. But We still
desire the welfare of our country aud the
happiness of its people, and We there =
fore distrust this newly proposed expert
ment, BY which, for aught appears, we
may Hy to ills we know not Of We have
