Grahs and sumner On tho FlE-
feenth Amendment

| There can be no doubt Of the fact that for
the passage Of the fifteenth amendment,
which secures the right to vote for colored
men, they are largely indebted to President
Grant. In his inaugural, March 4, 1867, we
find these words In regard to suffrage and the
fifteenth amendment: "''
The question Of suffrage Is one which is
likely to agitate the public so long as por-
ton of the citizens of the nation are excluded
from its privileges in any State. 1t seems to
me very desirable that this question should
be settled now, and entertain the hope and
express the desire that II may be by the rati-
fication of the fifteenth article of amendment
to the Constitution.
Thus Grant put himself On the record in
favor of the great measure. Mr.. Sumner also
put himself on the record, but in different
way, as will be seen from the following leaf
of history quoted by the New York CONNER
cirl Advertiser:
The debate in the Senate on the fifteenth
amendment was long and tedious. The
ground was fought over inch by inch, and at
every point Mr.. Summers battling and obsti-
nate hostility was interposed. He planted
himself on the abstraction that the passage
VI Ille dIlcuuTleut was an ADMISSION that
without it caste and oliga-chy of the skin
might be set up by State, and that the
privilege of citizenship did not carry the right
to vote. Moreover he did not believe the
amendment could or would DO ratified within
reasonable time, and he was sure that a
prolonged controversy would cnsue. The
political sagacity of the Senator may be
judged from the fact that the amendment was
passed in February, 1869, and its full ratifica-
ton was proclaimed by Mr. Fish in March,
1S70-a year and fourteen days. The four
teenth amendment stumbled and halted for
more than two years in the State legislatures.
Negro suffrage, despite Mr.. Summers want
OF faith, had actually prompter Endorsement
than the other great measure of settlement.
Mr.. Sumner found himself then and now the
ally of the Democratic party-he, because he
believed in the centralizing power of Con-
gress they, because they upheld the banner
of State rights. Mr.. Sumner, in the course of
his argument, to show that the States which
would ratify this amendment could not be
named, said: ..--....
" need not depict the evils which must
ensue. A State will become for time po-
litical caldron, into which will be dropped all
the poisoned ingredients of prejudice and
hate while powerful political party, chant
ing like tho witches in Macbeth
Double, double, toll and trouble,
Fire, burn and caldron bubble
will use this very amendment as a pudding
stick with which to stir the bubbling mass"

Keep Before the People.

1t is urged by the Democratic organs that
| the law is to be enforced in State andmunici-
pal elections. This is done to make it more
obnoxious, if that be possible, to their party.
But, unfortunately, this is an error. The law
| applies only to Presidential and Congress
siDnal elections, though we heartily wish it
could be made to apply to all others-N. Y.
Tribune.
When the rebellious traitors are over
whelmed in the field, and scattered like
leaves before an angry wind, it must not be
to return to peaceful and contented homes.
They must find poverty at their firesides,
and see privation in the anxious eyes of
mothers and the rags Of children. Horace
Greeley, Tribune, May lst, 1861.
81 hold our Government bound by its duty
of protecting our citizens in their fundamental
rights, to pass and enforce laws for the ex-
tirpation of the execrable Ku-Klux con-
spiracy; and if it has not the power to do it.,
then l say our Government is no Govern
ment, but sham. therefore on every pro-
per occasion advocated and justified the Ku-
KluX act. Ihold it especially desirable for
the South; and if it does not prove strong
enough to effect its purpose, hope it will be
made stronger and stronger. ~, Tribune, June,
II, 1871.
REvERDY JoHNsoN's TESTIMONY.
The following is the testimony of Reverdy
Johnson Dem.) who went to South Carolina
last Summer to defend Ku-Klux prisoners :
81 have listened with unmixed horror to
some of tho testimony which has been brought
before you. The outrages proved are shocking
to humanity; they admit of neither excuse
or Justification; they violate every obligation
which law and nature imposes upon men |;
they show that the parties engaged were
brutes, insensible to the obligations of human
ity and religion. The day will come, however,
if it has not already arrived, when they will
deeply lament it. Even if justice shall not
overtake them, there is one tribunal from
which there is no hope. 1t is their own judg-
ment--tbat tribunal which sits in the breast
of every living man-that small, still voice
that thrills through the heart-the soul of the
mind, and rs itspeaks, gives happiness or tor
ture the voice Of conscience, the voice OF
God. If it has not already spoken to them in
tones which have startled them to the enor-
nifty of their conduct. I trust, in the mercy
of Heaven. that that voice will speak before
they shall be called above to account for the
transactions of this world. That it will speak
to make them pentent, and that trusting in
the dispensations of Heaven, whose justice
is dispensed with mercy, when they shall be
brought before the bar oftheir great tribunal,
so to speak, that incomprehenSibe tribunal,
there will be found in the fact of their peni-
tence, or in their previous lives, some grounds
upon which God may say PARDON"

a party? The attitude Of Messrs. Schurz
and Trumbull on the civil rights and Ku-
Klux bills will furnish an answer; and judg-
ing from the course adopted by the L berals
in North Carolina in making their selections
for Congress, every State that will cast its
electoral vote for Horace Greeley will send
up an unbroken delegation Of straight-out
Democrats to Congress, and if Greeley is
elected the House Of Representatives will be
controlled by the Democratic party. fl be-
lieved Greeley was the man and the Democ-
racy the party, the fact Of my being Federal
officer would not restrain me from announc-
ing myself in his favor and voting for him,
but with the designs Of his supporters so
palpable, and believing their success inimical
to the best interests of the country and the
colored race, there may be colored men who
will support him, but not myself.

Miss Mary G. BezemOH.

We are sorry to know that Miss Mary c.
Bozemon, the able and efficient teacher of
the old NJ street school, has been displacedin
the Principalship of that school. She had
many friends, patrons of that school. who de-
sired her retention, as the following petition
will show:
WAsHINGToS, D. c., August %, 1872.
To the Trustees Of Public Colorea Schools:
GENTLEMEN: We, the parents of the pu-
pills in the Grammar School on VI street,
learned with regret that yyour Board contem-
plate making change Of principal of said
school, and in view of said information re-
spectiully present the following: Prior TO the
assumption of charge of said school by Miss
Mary &. Bozemon, the principal incumbent,
it was in a demOralZed condition, the schol-
ars not graded, the children impereetly
taught. Since she took charge, in 1870, By
means OF her unremitting assiduity and ex-
perience in training the minds of the young,
she has succeeded in making it one of the
best, if not the best school under your Board.
Professor VaShon, who, with your superin-
tendent, had examined all the schools, de-
clared to Miss Bozemon, in the presence
Of her scholars and of many friends, that
they had been in no school superior to
hers. The Board of Trustees present when
the above stated declaration was made,
congratulated Miss Bozemon, and assured
her Of their support. She enjoyed the conf
dence of your predecessors as well as that Of
the former superintendent of schools. Our
children have learned more in the same time
under Miss Bozemon than in double that Pc
Rod under other teachers. Beside our desire
to aid in support Of the schools, we deem it
important to us, to our children, and to the
community, that those children should have
the most efficient culture. Though there are
some persons, who, cnvving her superior
qualifications, wish to preclude her from
! charge in the new Sumner school building
we trust that the fact that she taught in tie
old frame school house ably, industriouslv,
and successfully, will prevent your Board
| from being influenced by any consideration
so petty and unjust.
We, therefore, respectfully request that
Miss Mary c. Bozemon be continued as prin-
cipal OF the school which she has so worthilv
and skiltully conducted.

where Does Greeiey's Strength
Lie?

Point wherever you will to an election
district which you will pronounce morally
rotten-given up in great part to debauchery
and vice, whose voters subsist mainly by
keeping policy houses, gamblng-hou ,grog-
shops, and darker dens of infamy-and that
district will be found giving large majority
for the Democratic party"
Very well. Where is the Wood-chopper of
Chappaqua to obtain his vote if is be not in
these same "rotten districts ?'' He is a Re-
publican, he says. Do Republicans look into
such sloushs as he here describes for their
support? Not to our knowledge. Could
Greeley blush, he would change to crimson
when he rejects upon the character of the
company he keeps, as described by his own
pen.

AUGUSTA, August u, 1872.
TO tho Editor Of tie EeU National Era.
have been informed by persons residing
in different sections of this State that in
quiries have been made of them by certain
officers Of the Government and heads of Re-
publican organizations in Washington, as to
whether it was not my intention to declare
for Horace Greeley, and when would an
nounce myself, SC.
In reply to these inquiries desire to state
that have already announced my position
by attending as delegate the Philadelphia
Convention and casting my vote for General
Grant, and in two speeches delivered in IA
vor of the reelection Of General Grant since
the adjournment of the National Convention.
If the gentlemen who are so anxious to
know my position had inquired of Col. Fam
min, member Of the national executive COM
mittee for this State, there would have been
no necessity for writing to other persons in
sections Of the State remote from where my
sentiments are best known, and where have
had no opportunity of addressing the people.
1t is exceedingly Notifying to me to have
any one question my position in crisis like
the present, when the success of the Greeley
ticket would result in such grave conse-
quences to the colored race and to the
country. have lived in the South too long
and know too much about the history of the
last ten years and the events that have led
to national interference in the local affairs of
some of the Southern States, to wish to re-
strain national authority in the administra-
ton of justice and the suppression of law
lessness when State governments are either
unwilling or unable to discharge such duties.
l have felt from the beginning of the present
canvass that the only safety of the colored
race was in adhering to the regular Republic
can organization, and I believe that such is
the sentiment Of colored men generally.
I presume that the fact of my friendship
for Mr.. Sumner has led to this suspicion as
to my position in the present contest, but it
is unfair to assume on account of my attach
ment to Mr.. Sumner l must necessarily be
against General Grant. Such conclusion
could only be arrived at by men totally unac-
quainted with me and the real issues involved
in this struggle. To assume that the De-
mocracy has been converted to Republican
principles by the acceptance of the quasi
Republican platform adopted at Cincinnati,
is to assume what is not true, and those who
have been led astray BY such belief will be
convinced of their error in the event of so
great misfortune to the country, and espe-
cially the colored race, as Mr.. Greeley's cleo
ton. Messrs. Schurz and Trumbull are two
Of the great leaders Of this Liberal move
ment, and it would be unreasonable to sup.
pose that the mass of their followers who are
Democrats, are any stronger believers in
Republican principles than the great lumi.

NORFOLK, VA, Aug. %, 1872.
To the Editor cfthe New National Era:
"Time tries all things" and this saying
applies as we'll to men as to things. Time
tries men, and many are found wanting when
the day Of trial comes. How has this fact
been illustrated in the conduct of many of
our public men in the past few months.
Greeley! Sumner! Banks! and other lesser
lights have fallen when the day Of trial came.
But Of all those who have thus been found
wanting when the hour arrived, the case of
the Hon. Charles Sumner is the most re-
markable. Of Greeley, nothing need sur
prise us he has been everything and any
thing by turns; but Sumner has for the most
part been consistent in his political course.
But how is it now? Where is his consist
ency: How can his present attitude be
reconeiled with his pretended devotion to the
rights Of the colored race: How can he
hope Tor any favorable action upon his pet
measure, the Civil Rights bill, in the event
OF the election of Greeley, which will result
in the election of n Democratic Congress
Can the gentleman show any Democratic
votes in the present Congress recorded in its
favor? Can he point to any favorable action
toward the colored race by the Democratic
party from the foundation of the Government
until the present hour? But be tells us that
he has been assured by the Democratic party,
Or the fathers Of that party, that they have
accepted the situation that they recognize
the amendments to the Constitution as bind
ing, and that the rights Of the colored race
will be more secure under Greeley than under
Grant! But can we trust the destinies Of
four millions Of people to the promises Of
these eleventh-hour and thirty minutes con-
verts? Is it safe to trust party who for a
lifetime have opposed everything looking to
the advancement and improvement of the
colored people, merely because on the eve Of
an election, in which they know their sue

To the Editor of the Nep National Era:
DEAR SIR: Herewith send you a copy o.
preamble and resolutions adopted by the col
ored citizens of Wilkes-Barre, on the Sth ult.
showing their position in the great pohtica
struggle now pending. You will please pub
lish the same in the columns of the New
NATIONAL ERA, and obligc
Yours truly, Z. f. Towns.
Whereas certain men who have been pro.
minent in the great Republican party and
distinguished for their able advocacy of the
cause of human liberty, have gone out from
the party and formed coalition with the
Democratic party; therefore be it
Resolred by the colored citizens in mass meet.
ing assembled. LIST. That VIC regard the
fusion Of the Liberal Republicans with the
Democratic party as an iniGuitous scheme to
place the Government in the hands Of the
known enemies of impartial liberty and OF
the development of ideas tending to higher
civilization.
Cd. That while we shall ever hold in CRATE
full remembrance the invaluable services OF
which the Hon. Chas. Sumner has rendered
in Our behalf, his successful efforts to have
equal rights accorded to all men, we feel il
our duty, CnOuSn SAD ana painful In the eX-
IRENE, to repudiate the advice given by hin,
to the colored voters Of the nation through
his letter to the colored men of Washington.
and we regard the idea of the conversion of
tho Democrats as a delusion too wild to be
entertained.
Sd. That inasmuch as the abolition OF
slavery and all the rights we now enjoy
came through the great Union Republican
party, we deem it essential to our best inte-
rest to remain firm and unflinching in sup
port of the party of freedom, notwithstand-
ing the advice of friends or foes to the con-
trary
