such action on the subject AS has already

il is too late now to argue its propriety or

have swept slavery into the past. II this be
true; il what is done can not be undone, and
this hitherto disturbing element is forever
removed from the councils of legislation,
except only in the way Of sweeping up such
relics AS are left upon our hands, then the
clear and undivided attention OF the country

NEGRO SuFraAcE.-The S. F. Call, an
Administration organ of long standing, says:


We notice that several Union papers in
this State are ag,ating the propriety Of al
miling negroes to the ballot box. As the
negro has obtained his freedom, and the
complete right to enjoy the proceeds of his
own labor, the full right Of protection to
"life, property, and the pursuit of happiness"
we would suggest that these suffice. The
country will last quite as long without negro
votes as it will with them, and the energies
and abilities of the people, instead Of being
devoted to obtaining the privilege Of suffrage
by negroes, can be better employed in pro.
vding f.r the future security and welfare Of
our nation, by the adoption Of measures
which will more accurately define the rights,
duties and privileges Of white men. Much
