Who are fit for Freemen2

Radicals assert that Frcnchmcu are
not fl for free government, They
point TO the Republics of 1880 aud
1878, as proofs Of the soundness of
their positions. They maintain that
people who could not succeed in these
instances, must have some inherent
traits Of character which render them
incapable of ruling themselves under
popular aud Democratic system or
form Of government. Among these traits
are noticed an undue prepoudcrance Of
the emotional element, that force that
leads men to push everything ut too
rapid a pace; TO act rather than reflect;
to except in place Of testing This class
of Auti-Republicans are now opposing
the free movement in France They
acknowledge the patriotism OF the effort.
They indulge ia general remarks as to
the duty Of ircemen in other lands, in
relatioa to the new government in
France, But, at the same time, they
pour cold water on the whole effort, BY
intimating fear that the Republic Of
1870 will follow in the footsteps of
those Of 1880 and 1913; that il will
haze 4 brief life aud be followed by
another long reign of dcspotsm. ln
other words and conclusions, that
Frenchmeu, intelligent, progressive
Frenchmen, men who have raised that
nation to the very lead Of the civilized
world, and held it there, are unfit for
sclf-government,
But these same Radicals, who assert
that Frcnchmen are not iit for selfgoy.
crnmcnt, maintain that the ignorant
negroes Of this country; meu who can
neither read nor write men who wor.
ship snakes and reptiles men who
have 40 more idea rgoyernmentalsc science
than they have of the system of Newton,
are fully aud entirely qualified to per.
form all the subtitle and important func
tons Of freem IN in this lanl. Upon
this point they are convicted by acts,
deeds and words. They have raised this
class Of meu by one effort from the bot.
tom to the top Of the ladder, They did
not enquire whether the negro was tit for
seli-goyernmeut. They needed not the
lessons Of history upon that point They
ignored the records oithe past in relation
TO the capacities Of this race for develop
ment. They cried, up with the negro
ON a level with the white man-and up
he came. There was 10 question made
in the Radical party as to his fitness for
American citizenship. They did not
object TO the emotional element 10 the
character Of the negro. Cufy may
dash aud founder in the deepest pool Of
emotional nonsense, lie may see sights
aud consult his wild gods from Africa,
as to the proper path to pursue in re.
lation to political questions, but these
facts do lot take from his fitness for
selfgovernment, under form which
has for its chief pillar and support the
Intelligence of the people. Ignorant
negroes are held BY the Radicals to be
proper persons to govern themselves,
but intelligent Frenchmen are denounc.
cd whom they claim the same right.
