The World refuses to be com forted
in view of the probable establishment
Of Impartial Suffrage throughout the
Union. Here iS its latest exhibition of
dOlor;
"The negroes, if united in a COM
pact party voting always as anti, will
control the politics Of the country, by
holding the balance Of power between
the other parties. The eight or ten
States in which they have the ascend
ency will be able, in any ordinary Pres
idential election, to determine the re-
suit. The party in which the negroes
act, feeling its dependence upon them
for success, viii pander to their feelings
and abet their pretsntions, and thus
virtually allow them to dictate its pol
10y As between success with the ne
gro vote and defeat without it, the par
ty that courts them will not be slow to
make any concessions which the negroes
may demand. If united aud resolufe,
they will always be able to dictate con-
ditions,"
The World seems to ignore the fact
that @voting as a unit is the dictate of
8 common peril When agreat party
was organized to "Put none but1Amer-
leans on guard" Adopted Citizens
voted as phslanx against it, That
the Blacks would now vote with Tie
Republicans is based on the fact that
the Republicans have emancipated and
snlt4hChised them, while the Demo
Gratis after keeping them in Slayery so
long as.they could, are still doing their
wicked worst to degrade them so far
below the common level of Humanity
a. they possibly can.
We're the XVIII Constitutional
Amendment this hour the law of the
land all would be changed. Seeing
that the Blacks were bound to vote any
how, The World would tack sheet, and
insist on getting them to vote the Dem
ocrstic ticket, and the bulk Of the par
tyswould follow this advice. Demo.
cratic hatred Of the negro, and hOstil-
ity to his enfranOhisenent, would be
disclaimsd and repressed by the party
managers, and the rank and file would
obey orders. II might take some time
torealize in mainly White communi-
ties this, friends confident prediction
that, ".Were the Blacks everywhere
enfranchiSed, we would soon have the
Democratic leaders boasting that they
had negro blood in their veins" but
the Dutchman's rule, can is fsh that
comes to my net" would operate here
~ everywhere else. We never yet
heard Of q class too low or too odiouS
to be ah object of Democratic solicitude
and solicitation, provided they had
votes a'
"Ah yes, Of courses but they wouldn't
get any" ',
Yes, they would, At first, they
would be diStrusted and their advances
repelled by the great majority but in
time--the antagonisn Of race being
disclaimed-mutual interes is and afin-
tiles would assert their natural sway.
Many negroes are naturally loafers and
suckers and these would vote as other
loafers and suckers generally do. Many
efthem would prefer keeping grogShopS
and ganbliDg-denS to honest work;
and these would inevitably vote with
the party that is most tolerant of their
taVorits pursuits Some negroes are
prone to theft and burglary, and these
naturally want to keep on the sunny
Gde Of Recorders and District Attor-
neys. In short, those Blacks whose
natural afinities are with the Democ-
raoy- would vote and work for the Dem
oCratio ticket, just as such Whites do.
And then ths1uestiOns of Tariffs, Rev
SnuOs, Railroads, &C., &c., would d.
vide the Blacks exactly ss they do
Whites.
We advocate Impartial Suffrage as
we do Universal Amnssty--not because
1t will favor this or that party, but be-
cause It will tranquilize and strengthen
the Republic, and because we shall
never have true, enduring peace with
ont both. So long as there is dis
franohised class amoung Us, whether Of
BlaOks or ex-RebSlS, agitation in its be-
half Is certain to be kept up. All in
telligent persons must realize that the
BrahminiCal system Of caste ID insuited
to the genius Of our people--that pOlit-
ical equality is, in the long rnn, inev-
itahDe. Then why not establish II a.
once, and save years OF fruitleSs, mis-
