THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT SUR
RENnFR

There is more in the proposed XVth
Amendment than the mere question
of the extension of suffrage. 1t is not
what it coqfers upon certain races,
but what it takes from the people of
the States, that constitutes its most
dangerous feature. we doubt not that
If the more intelligent Africans knew
and understood what the people are
called upon, by this XVIII Amend
ment, to gire Up, they would not accept
the right Of suffrage at so great a sacri-
fee of popular rights. The truth is
that the purpose of the radical leaders,
in striving to force this Amendment
through the State legislatures, is 10
strip the elective franchise of all that
makes it valuable, and they sugar-coat
that purpose by extending the fran
chise to races which have not hither-
to enjoyed it.
How is this? asks one. Are you
voter, or do you expect to be one, and
yet do not know the nature of this
Amendment Why, it proposes to
confer upon Congress the power to pass
laws regulating the election franchise,
in the States and TO take array from
the people forerer the right to regulate
and control the suffrage question for
Themselves. Under the operation of
this Amendment Congress will possess
the power to enact such laws reguIa-
ting elections in the States, as will en-
able its members to re-eiect themselves
as often as they choose 10 be candidates.
This divests the ballot of its present
character Of freedom and make it the
merest agent of those who are in poss-
ession of the government. Not even
the African cares to possess the privi-
Iege to vote, if he cannot exercise that
privilt &c as a freeman. 1t should be
understood by white and black that
the franchise which the XVIII A
mendment proposes to Ieare to the
people, is not the elective franchise as
it now exists, subject only 10 the con-
trol Of The people, GtA o:1iy tie right 70
rote as Congress mag hereafter dictate.
There is universal suffrage" in France,
but the votes are cast according to the
pleasure of Napoleon III. There is to
be universal suffrage" in the United
States, but the voting is to be done ac-
cording to the imperial pleasure ol
Congress.
| We know that radical editors care
nothing about this vital question:
They are the faithful henchmen OF
their masters in Congress. They wear
the collar of the eonspirators in the
federal capital When Congressmen
take snuff, these radical editors sneeze,
and when Butler and Sumner and
Wade announce that white is black
aud black white, these slavisb scribbIers
are ready to swear upon a stack OF
Bibles, that only Butler, Sumner and
Wade tell the truth and all the rest of
mankind are "copperhead. liars. p
Hence we desire it to be distinctly un-
derstood that this article is not intend
ed as reply to any thing that may
have been said upon the subject of the
XVIII Amendment, by any radical ed
itor, but rather that it is addressed to
decent and intelligent Africans who
are not yet the slaves of party.

A QUEER SUIT AND QUEERER YER
DICT.-The Charlestown "Spirit Of JEFF
ferson" mentions an occurrence of re-
cent date, growing out of the memo
rlble capture of Major General Kelly.
in his bed in this city, by detatch-
ment of McNeill's men, in February,
1860. General Kelly, it seems, lost his
horse at the time of the capture, which
fell in the hands ofthe confederate Gen
eral Rosser. The animal was wounded,
and after the war, was restoredby Gen
eral Rosser to General Kelly, upon the
request of the latter. Among the party
who captured General Kelly in bed
was Mr.. John Arnold, now residing
in Mineral county, West Virginia, and
being man of means, General Kelly
brought suit againsthi in that county
and recovered $3.50 damages for the in
juries received by the horse. The
esprit of jefferson" says the only wit
ness in the case was Gen eraI b. F. kel-
ly himself, who swore that he saw Mr..
Arnold riding the horse the day after
the capture. Mr.. Arnold was made to
pay pretty dearly for one days ride on
General KeIly's steed, but as the
horse was regularly captured in war,
reasonable people will consider both
the suit and verdict outside the pale of
reason. H. Cttnsderldnd Pdper.
