falls into the common error of demanding
relief for the South as the hands Of the

! valley Of affection The North, or sather
the nation, declares that universal suffrage
shall prevail, and the South accepts che
GgIe as one that is eminentIy wise and
practical. This was she platform ot all
parties throughout the last election. and
We have not heard Of any hardy enough 20
demand otherwise since the ballot box in
dorsed the principle. II, then, We are in
favor of universal suffrage we can not set
up that its evils are especially chargeable
to the North, unless we assume that the
men who abuse the section that originated
this policy are hypocrites when they sub
nit to its adoption. If the South merely
consents to accept the color6d people as
citizens for the present with the design Of
Withdrawing that acceptance hereafter,
then they are responsible for the evils that
their own contemplated treachery subjects
the country to. Every man must bear the
burden Of his own wickedness.
The North does not send the evil season
that blgbts the crops, she does not origi-
nate nor encourage the idleness Of the
white people, which the negroes are at
tempting TO initiate in many instances, as |
the poor always seek to initiate the affiu- |
ent; she does not constrain us By any law |
or address to devote more money to the
Of whisky than We put into
railroads or steamships; she does not set
us the example, except i'll the city Of New
York, Of paying petty officers greater Sala-
ries than are derived from German princi-
paities; she does not instruct us to encour-
age the principle that every idle man
about town ought to have his name on the
pay rolls Of the city, in consideration Of
he vote he cast at the last election, nor
loes She set US the example Of charging
