The Transcript Sticks its Head in the
Sand, and "Don't See Nothing"

The Transcript comments with the COM
placency of veritable Pickwick upon the
Fifteenth Amendment. 1t denies that the
section proposed gives to "Chinamcn'
Mongolians, and other foregn-born colored
persons" the elective franchise, and says
"The naturalization laws of the United
States prohibit foreign born colored per-
sons being naturaliZcd, hence they can
never become citizens, and as the constitu-
ton Of the United States deals only with
citizens, the danger Of foreign colorcd per-
sons becoming voters is all over, they can
no more claim the right of suffrage under
the Fifteenth than the Tenth amendment
We find exception to several points here
stated. We would most respectfully in
quire-and insist that the Transcript shall
as candidly answer-why this distinction
is made between the colorcd people ofthis
and any other land. If negroes in the
United States are good enough to make
citizens Of, why are not the negroes who
may migrate to our shores, or the Chinese
who are cminently their superior in all the
appliances Of art and civilization, equally
as eligible for citizenship? Now the Rad
ical organ says that these people can nerc'
be endowed with the elective franchise
can never be introduced as an element in
the political combinations of our country.
And why? Listen to the reasoning Of the
sage: 1.-The naturalization laws" forbid
hence they can ncrer become citizens and
consequently mcrer voters" What soph-
istry to bolster up an unpopular dogma
What folly, in attempting to deceive the
people by such srccious subtcrfugcs
When Congress stops not even at Consti-
tutional disabilities, is it believed that they
will be thwartcd by a mere law Of their
own creation, which they can wipe out Of
existence by mere stroke of IL pen? A
more plastic material cannot be placed in
the hands of Radical shoddyitcs, from
which to manufacture Radical loyal votes,
and a disposition has been manifested to
avail themselves of the aid, which is only
held in allegiance from motives of present
policy. The leading spirit in the Senate
recently declared "A few years ago we
stood almost alone in the great work; now
our force carries the passions and prcjudi-
ces as a whirlwind. Each step towards i'm
partial suffrage renders the succeeding one
more easy and sure. Let lis not rest until
every creature bearing the image of hu-
mainly shall stand forth in the full pride of
manly vigor and power" This ia the scnti-
ment Of the prevailing party in Congress
Who believes that they will stop at any
obstacle, when party zeal prompts! Radi.
cal party necessity knows no law, no mod
Grafton, no decency.
We do not envy our contemporaries the
Herculean task of quoting popular ap.
prehension on this matter. Let the doc
trine be openly avowed and the people
are not yet so trammclcd but that they
would rise in their might and crush the

should control the county Offices, leaving
the inference that though an evil has been
done, it was under the supposition that
1.-THE good of the Order might be promo

show the absurdity Of this excuse. Saloon
keepers would indeed be vcrdant to con-
sent to such trade as that. The county
Commissioners arc the only county officers
who can even in the most remote degree
forward the interests of the lodge in the
issue of liquor licenses While the whisky
clement are very willing to support Mum
son for Treasurer. or Dunbar for Aaditor,
they have manifested no inclination to sup
port any of the Good Tcmplar advocates
for any Office which wllintcrtcrc with their
traffic. SO brother Prosch is either very
blind, or extremely anxious to avert odium
from the lodge, in Disgusting the fact that
indiridnai prcfcrmcnt has been the wedge
which has clclt the lodge in twain.
