count Of the tate attempt which failed at

exhibit the corruption OF the Roman

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Radical Deception OF the Col
cred People.

When the Radicals are asked, says
the Philadelphia Age, to explain them
reasons for declaring negro suffrage il
the South, and yet voting against it in
tae Nsylh, they point TO the vote in iowa
and AinnesOts, where the eolorsd
amendment was adopted. But look at
the facts in these cases. Iowa gave over
10 500 majority for negro suffrage, and
Oy that great achievement conferred the
right OF suffrage on l53 negroes. Mime
sofa gave over 900O majority for negro
suffrage, and thus nobly conferred the
right 10 vote on thirty-EeVen distinguish
ed persons Of color. But Radiealism is
not 80 liberal where negroes are more
abundant. In Missouri it could have
conferred the right to vote on about III,
COZ negroes, and, although the State gave
large majority for GRANT, it rejected
neErn suffrage by a msjOrity of near
70, ,0O9. The electoral vote of Conneeti-
cut and Ohio wac cast flr Gen. GRANT,
bot these States, like NJ iss0uri, have re-
pudisted the negro theory with reference
to al alteration Of the elsetive franchise.
Where there are few negroes in the
North to vote, the Radicals are wilIinRto
give them the ballot. But where many
would crowd to the polls, the privilege
is withheld.
