EQUAL RIGHTs.-The Radicals are
great .sticklers for equal - suffrage,
claiming that the right to vote is
among the natural rights of the peo-i
pie, without distinction of race, color
or previous condition, and not . pe-
litical privilege. To carry, out this
pet theory of theirs they have stripped
the States of the right which they re-.
served to themselves, TO control the
matter of suffrage, and vested it in the
Federal GovernmeRt.ai Butthe inter-
est manifested by them in the matter
of voting is always where the negro is
involved, they exhibitingnot the least
concern for the. poor white trash7.
that is disfranchised.n The way they
carry their pet theory into practice is
illustrated in the case of Rhode Island,
where there is a large and respectable
body of naturalized German citizens.
A number of these. says the Pitts
burgh Post, are not allowed TO exer-.
else the privilege of suffrage because
they were born in Germany and not
in the United States, and have not
Sl34 invested in real estate in Rhode
Island. There are many Irish citi-
zens adisfranchised because they were
born in ireland, and not in the United
States, and have not S134 invested in
real estate. Some OF these, ldisfran-
chiscd citizens were brought to the
State IN their infancy. Not a few
were serving in the United States
army while native born Radical voters
were fattening on Government con-
tracts. President Grant has failed TO
make any advance towards enforcing
the constitutional amendments in
Rhode Island, and an administration
Senator has heretofore smothered
every attempt made by friends of the
naturalized citizens for their reliet.
But fer the mere alleged attempts to
intimidate colored voters the jails of
Alabama and South Carolina are being
rapidly filed by the Federal authori-
ties. Can any foreign born citizen
support a party that makes such dis
criminatiens against his countryRien.

The Right Doctrine.


The Cincinnati Liberal Convention
asserts the following safe aud sound
doctrines, to which, their candidates
stand committed:
/. That we should maintain local
self-government and oppose the CEN
tralization OF power at Washington
2. That the civil power should be
supreme oyef: the military. sil a-fL
8. That the writ of hdbeas corpus
should be jealously guarded. aa
4. That there should ebe reform in
5. That the public lands should be
corporations. .fisfilsill3 ~ sl1i
6. That the Tariff question should
be left to the whole people and their
Representatives, and should not be
controlled by other political questions.
There are no new principles de-
clared in the. above. They are doc
trines for which the Democracy have
been contending for these many years,
and for the defeat of which Greeley
and his associates, have been lending
their aid. IF they have got new light
and are now sincere, thcy will be glad
Ito aid the Democracy in carrying out
these principles which they have so
long cherished and which are now
common to- both, and not demand
that political organization number
ing 100000 yoters should desert its
time-honored organization and its
tried and trusty leaders, under threats
that unless they do SO. they who have
started this Liberal movement will
return to the support of the Radical
party and its corrupt practices and
despoticpolicy. While they are striv-
ing thusfby threats to intiniidate the
Democracy, we can have little conf
dence in their honesty, and pray to be
delivered from any entangling alII-
amces with them. ea = 4t4fa9 ~ z

Sixty-eight thousand of these letters could

thirty-nine thousand photographs contained
