A colored woman, named Elizabeth
Parker, over eighty years ofage, arrived
at st. Joseph, Mo-, recently. Twenty
one years ago she was sold at the
slave market in st. Joseph to a ira
der, who took her, with about one
thousand other slaves, to Louisiana
Since the war she has been working
in New Orleans, and at length secured
sufficient money 10 return to
st. Joseph. When she was carried
away she left two sons behind her,
then young lads; during her long abb
sence she was in perfect ignorance of
their whereabouts and condition.
When informed that one of her sons
was still living, she became almost
frantic with joy, and danced, laughed
and cried most vehemently. She was
a former slave of John D. RitChie, a
wealthy farmer, living about nine
miles from st. Joseph.

If peace and liberty are ever restored
to the country it will be done by return
to the principles of our forefathers, and
that will never be done while the present
dominant party remains in power. All
parties opposed to Rsdicalism must unite
for its overthrow. Some Of the issues oil
the past are dead, such as secession,
slavery and many smaller issues, but
republican Democratic principles are
not dead, and cannot be throttled
either by open enemies or pretended
friends. The time is not far distant
when a Democratic party will sweep the
land and drive from high places those
who have degraded their offices aud VIC
lated the sacred articles Of the Consiitu
ton. Those who choose to desert Demo
cratic principles now, in the face of thu
enemy, are welcome to 90. and we hop'
they will define their position 20 vel
among new mcde friends that they ear
never be allowed to recross the line
Those who recant the professions OF I
life time can well be spared.

Following close upon the breach amone
Radical and Conservative Republicans
in Virginia and Tennessee, which re.
suited in the recent triumphs of liberal
principles in the South, we have the
news from New York city that the new
Republican organization, called the
Union Republican Central Committee,
has held an adjourned meeting and is

New York city and State, setting forth
the causes that have led to the present
movement, and detailing the corrupt
practices Of other Republican organizes
tons. The main object of the new party
organization, as set forth in the address,
is to express the disgust of the mass OF
the Republicans at the frauds perpetrated
in the district associations, in which lit
tie cliques of three or four have kept en-
tire control of such associations, and
prevented that reform in the party in
New York so vitality essential to save it
from ruin and give it prosperity and sue

NJ IL M II II ~
Thursday Evening. August H. 1853.
CONVINCE A MAN AGAINST HIS
WILL.

II ia merely waste of words to write
further of the causes that brought about
the late victory in Tennessee. The great
object has been achieved, and that was
the enfrauchisemen of the rebels. But
Il ia very material to certain newspapers
to make it appear as if the people, by
voting for Senter, did by that act indorae
universal suffrage. The reason that in
dnced us to vote with those who sup
ported this man was not admlra-
ton of him or his doctrine OF Unl-
versal Suffrage, bnt the Governor
would continue to hold the ONCE
and cared little what he and his
marty should sacrifice to secure 1t,
and to do so placed the means in the
hands of the very meu that will hereafter
mt ouietus to the doctriss Of Universal
Suffrage aud decree the death OF the
Republican party in the State. 1t was
a strategic move Oh the part of Tennes-
see Democracy to again get possession
of the reins of Government, and the thing
was most gloriously achieved.
The men of odr political faith cared
nothing for Governor Seuter, but desired
70 get possession Of the ballot again I;
and. very soon, we will demonstrate how
,,,eb Affection ia entertained for the
man Who would make the negro our
equal. The people of this State baye
fulfilled their obligation to Mr.. Sentef.
and the heretofore prescribed class owe
him nothing. All are veil aware that
the Office Of Governor is sinscure posi-
ton in Tennessee, and that it has tsy
prerogatives under the Constitu-
ton, aud the present Legislature
will be careful not to invest it with farther
responsibilities. If the question of Uni
versal Suffrage is pat upon the people IN
this State, which it will be ct the coming
election for delegates to the Constitu-
tiona, Convention, the monstrosity, WITH
out doubt will be voted down by an over
whelmiug msjoriiy. Our contemporaries,
who wish to test the popularity OF
negro equality, will be offered the
opportunity in a few months in which
to do it, and they will find to
their great sorrow that the people OF
Shelby county have not advanced. as
some have boosted. so far into Republican
ideas. 1t will be the right and the duty
of this people to strike down this class OF
disqualified voters as an incompetent sat
TO exercise the elective franchise. But
some weak-kneed politicians have sug-
gested to deprive the negro of this privi-
leqe in an indirect way, by taxation or a
property qualification, before being al
lowed to 60 to the polls and vote.
We have the power, and it would be, in
our opinion, more judiciously exercised
by cutting of the negro entirely as
class of incompetent persons. Ii we can
prescribe the rights of an individual in
this community, then can the power as
sumo to regulate every mans privilege
at the ballot-box. Boys below the age Of
twenty one years, as class, are not per-
mitted to vote for want Of intelligence
and proper experience; then'should the
negro be kept from the polls until he had
arrived at the proper standard Of intelli-
aencn
