such concessions we are inclined to
hope that the resistance to universal
suffrage approaches its end, and that we
will soon see the day when no such OBJ
lection will be urged from any quarter.
When We have seen the dignifed Sena-
tors and Representatives OF the White
League persuasion rush eagerly into the
halls of legislation and seat themselves
alongside of colored representatives, it
seemed Of good augury. When, how
ever, the Bourbons themselves openly So
licit colored votes and address colored
assemblies, we know the question has at
tanned its solution. The result has been
attained, however, by the gift of universal
suffrage, since nothing, in our opinion,
except the conservative nature of the
emancipated, and the value of his vote,
has effected the conversion of his Demo-
cratic opponents.

lllltla companies.

The Bullctin is striving hard to reconcile
Democracy with decency. The chances
of success are not just now favorable. 1t
has advised the turbulent elements to
make an outward show of good behavior,
and appealed to the more respectable and
reasonable portion, of which it is an able
and reputable representative, to withhold
their countenance from acts which shock
the sense of civilization. And yet We see
little or no improvement in the conduct
of some of the objects Of its solicitude.
Nearly every mail brings new matter for
depreciation, apology and explanation.
This will probably go on to the end.
Reformation is impossible, as it would
lead to the dissolution of the Democratic
Conservative party, and none but the
most hopeful can possibly indulge in the
anticipation that the crowd of applicants
for political situations will neglect any
means, fair or foul, which promise to
secure success.
