Radical Honesty.

An extract which we republish from the New York
Tribune's correspondence in regard to the reelection
of Whttemore to Congress- is very fair commentary
upon the general intelligence of negro voters, and is
powerful argument in favor Of educating this class,
who are henceforth to enjoy the right of franchise.
1t comes too, from a prominently friendly to
the coored people. The statement is commented
upon by the St Louis Democrat leading Radical
paper somewhat to this effect 1t asks to it the ser
GUS attention of those Republicans at Washington who
have the power to Influence results in that district,
and who care for the future of the party II
regards an event like the reelection of Whittemore
going very far to turn from the support of the party
thousands of men who accepted negro suffrage 1--WE
are surprised that the Democrat dares to the term,
NEGRO " with hesitation and reluctance. They will
say argues the Democrat, 1--WE were pressed to adopt
the amendment measure of necessity and justice
We feard that the coored people were not prepared
to vote inteigenty, but we made the experiment. If
these are the fruits, if convicted and confessed
rascal can defeat any honest a colored district
it is about time to stop" Thousands OF men, the
Democrat goes to say will berepelled by such an
election as this and though the Radical leaders,
of them, we presume it MEANS nay regret it. reason
against it, and prove that the parry is neither respon
sble for Whtemores conduct, Ior for the ignorance
of the coored people, the effect will still be injurious
to the Republican party Men will feel that the lead
ers of that party responsible that they could pre-
vent so disgraceful thing if thy choose and that is
true "There are Republican eaders in Washington
who could have made it impossible for this White
| more to be reelected"
To this effect comments the Democrat and does it
not by its line of argument rectly admit that the
negro is not prepared to exerise the right of ballot
Does it not indirectly admit hat this of its
party was suggested by necesity-the only means of
retaining place, power and pf? 1t says the party is
not responsible for the gnornce of the coored race
True, but it is responsible fer putting into hands, all
ncapacitated for its proper use, power which may
give shape to the policy aid destiny of the country
They have not given the legro this liberty and this
power for his own benefit HI s as much their slave
now as he was ours in tie oden tme-the form only
| of his bondage is changed. Nor does the Democrat
repent of the folly of its party in enlranchising the
| black race before they educated up to intel
gent use of the power vested in the ballot Oh, no.
Its only regret is that the leaders at Washington"
| should permit them to exerse it in such
may tend to turn from the support of the Repub
can party thousands of men who accepted negro suf

political honesty of this " God and morality party"
