why they so voted. 1 le say. they were
compelled by a sense of duty "to vote
in solid phalanx against the whites."
As it scented to the mucks tlmt the
question on which they wore voting
was whether they should ever have
the ehanee to vote again, it was abso
lutely impossible that they should vote
away their own right to vote. He
predicts that as soon as the question of
thwrriglit to vote is settled, which will
bo done by the ratifying of the Consti

bo as diversified as the white on nil
questions of Slate and Xational policy.
The blacks not only believe but arden
tly pray that after the Constitution is
formed, securing their rights, the
blacks may never again bo obliged to
vote as a party together, or against the
whites. This is certainly a clear state

by Gon. Sherman nt a meeting of the
Society of the Army of the Tennessee,
lately held in St. Louis. Speaking of
the burdens entailed upon the country
by the war, he said :
"We of the North have to mourn
the loss of fathers, brothers, sons and
friends, and are burdened with a vast

Kisiisess, Kind words aro looked npon
like jewels on the breast, eovortobu forgotten,
and perhaps to cheer the memory along sad
life ; while words of cruelty or carelessness,
are like swords in the bosom, wounding and

"Contraction and expansion aro

duty bound, asked, "How so?" Tho
reply came thus: "You admit that
our currency is a debt ?" The friend
nodded. "Well, then, when you con
tract a currency you contract a debt ;
which, I take it, is equivalent to ex
pansion. So you see the twoi things
mean the same thin!?."
