Not such, To our minds. is the true
philosophy OF the hour We believe
that the auti>slAycry battle has been
fought out. Slavery is abolished and
the Thirteenth Amendment makes its
re-enactment i'm poss Bile. The negro
has been invested with the right OF
suffrage aud the Fourteenth aud Fli-
| teenth Amendments makes his dlScn-
| franchlsement impossible. Legal ythe
negro stands exactly where the white
man does -@-s Socially whatever stigma
rests upon him is far more oppressive
in the North than in the South. Mr.,
! Summer civil ghts bill is more need
ed here than there. For instance,
Methodist bishop, only week or two
ago, protested in the Tribune against the
exclusion oi u colored Methodist
preacher from the common wayfarer
privilege of refroshment at the ORION
Tavern IN Fulton Mprket. That same
bisop, aud the entire General Confcr,
cnee II that same denomination, was
sttlog IN the churchiiest city of the
North, iu whose public schpos colored
children aud white are forbidden to
associate If therefore what Gerrt
Smith calls an.l slavery battle is not
yet fought out, its chief remaining
battle ground is in the North rather
than the South. There is no existing
difference of opinion concerning the
negro in which the South takes one
side, and the North the other, To
array one section of the union against
the other on the negro question is to
create false issue which has no exist
ence in reality In revlving this an-
tagonlsm, the Philadelphia Convention
has failed to adjust itself to the cir
cunlstances of the time. Feigned and
ficticlous is the contest which Senator
Morton pre6gures when be repaints
the boys in blue as once more fighting
tue boys in gray. The boys in blue
have put off their blue the boys in
gray have put off their gray The
former union soldiers now mingle freely
with their fellow citizens of the South y
and the Confederate soldiers now do
the same in the North. From the mo-
ment when there was an end to the
