Tribune, the other day came out with a strong editorial in favor ot universal negro suffrage in New-York State, ami says the question to be voted on in the November election i> not whether negroes should vote, lor they are already voters, but whether those of the black iace who have not '--$250 worth of dirk"' should be deprived of the right ol suffrage. Bv r 'dirt" the r aher is to uruUistand real estrte, which Greeley used to call "robbery." Tiie philosopher of ttie Tribune cannot see any good reason for the property qualification in the case of negroes, an i contends there ought to be no distinction between them and white men. This argument proceeds upon the'assumption of the black race, being equal ti the white, which is contrary to notorious fact. The negro never was, and never will be, equal to the white man ; and the qualification oi $250 is therefore a very proper provision, and is intended as a stretch of liberality to meet the case of negroes (probably with white blood in their veins) who rise above the a verage level of their race, and prove their su periority by the industry and temperate habits and intelligence which enabled them to accumu late so much property. Very few of them in free States ever get beyond the profession of waiters or bootblacks, or barbers or whitewash es, or stevedores or servants. In the slave States, where the negro, in his normal condi tion, he does much better. In the free States trie competition of white men, who excel them in skilled labor and Intelligence, keep the general mass of them in an abject condition, wreatly inferior to their status in that modified servitude under Christian masters which pre vails at the South. Giving them permission to vote would not improve their condition, but, considering their general want ol education and their vices in large cities, it would prove a source of corruption to them, and an injury to the community at large. By the far! census the negro population in .New York was not quite 50,000. It probably does not exceed that figure now, for Northern freedom is latal to its growth. By the proposed change their votes would number, instead of three or four hundred, from nine to ten thousand, made up ol the inhabitants of the Five points and all the purlieus of vice and crime in the city : and this festering mass the Republican chiefs calculate they can sway by prejudice or pur chase with money, so as to become a balance of power in their hands to carry their election. The Tribune boasts that even the present num ber ol negro votes has turned the scale in, an election (or Governor. What might it not do when swelled to ten thousand > The j Tribune contends that there is an inconsistency ; in not allowing all negroes to vote or in nut preventing at all. Very well. I lie best way to cure the inconsistency, if it exists, is to a mend the constitution by taking away the suffrage from every negro. It must either come to that at last, or fraternity, equality and amalgamation, which is the grand object the Repuolican party is seeking to accomplish by a 1 reign of terror. —JY. Y, Herald.

A tired Day, of Philadelphia, offered he following resolution, and called the previ ttis question, which seemed tobe sustained by ommon consent. Keioived , That this Committee do hereby re ciud its action at Philadelphia on the 2d of Ju v, arid at Cress >n on the 20th ot August last, nd that we recommend to the Democratic par yof Pennsylvania to stand by the Electoral tcket made by the Dem cratic Slate Conven i:i at Reading, on the Ist ot March 1860. Jr., of Philadelphia, offered the allowing amendment as a substitute : 1} is the duty of all Union-loving jg .Twill unite in such man ional candidates, Lincoln and Hamlin, and as it s believed that tiiere are a majority of voters n the State of Pennsylvania who are opposed o tie hostile and aggressive doctrines ot the te[!ti licaa party. Therefore be it Resolved, That the Electoral Ticket framed ,t Heading on the first day of March last, be übmitted to the voters of all conservative citi wns opposed to the election of Lincoln and lamhn ; provided that each Elector will pledge iimselfin writing, within ten days from this late that in the event of his election as ad | Elector, he will cast his vote tor President and 1 /ice President in such a manner as the Read- [ i): Convention, re-assembled for such purpose, I in the 20th ot November next, may direct, vti -ther it b for Douglas and Johnson, Breck uridge and Lane, or Bell and Everett. Peso' That, believing there is a'decided n; iority of tiie voters ot this liosltle 0.-fctionaiisrr and to the election of the s>-c --iona! candidates, Lincoln and Hamlin, we call ijicn them to forego party differences and to mile as a ccdservative Union and Constitu ionai party in support of the ticket here presen ed. Resolved, That in case of any declining to ivr the required pledge, the place may be filled j t'itn one who will give the required pledge to j he State Central Committee," which shall as emble at this place on October 23d, at 10 A. ,1. Mr. Charles W. Carrigan, of Philadelphia, ll,.red the tallowing amendment to the amend ment, and both were voted down, seemingly inanimouslv : Resolved, that a committee of five from this Committee be appointed to meet the committee f the same number lately appointed from ar.d y the State Committee of the Constitutional Jnion pai ty of this State, to confer on the suh >ct ot a joint Electoral Ticket, the deterniina ion of said Committee of five to be reported to he Democratic State Committee to assemble at he call of the Chairman thereof. The question then recurring on the original esolution it was adopted with only one dissen ing voice, Mr. Leech. The Committee thereupon adjourned, subject a the call of the President. 1856—1360. In 1836 we had nearly every vote out in bimberland county. Mr. Buchanan received 1127, and Fremont and Fillmore combined, eceived 3037. Total number of votes cast ] iHM.. At the late election Foster received I 1716 votes, or, 280 more than Mr. Bu hanan received in 1556 ; Curtin received 1623 votes,or, 38S more than Fillmore and •"remont received in 1836. Total increase in he vote in i mr'vears, <877 ! Something wrong I IT,ere certainlv has not been this increase of ,'oters in our county since- 1535. No one can iccount for the increase—there is no cause tor t : on the conharv. previous to the election it was generally predicted that, owing to the mndreds of men who have left our country luring tlie last four years, our vote would tali -hurt of the vote cast in 1836. How cotnes this tremendous Increase, then I Has Iraud been practised, or have we had strangers col onized in our county for the purpose of voting the Black Republican ticket ! We repeat, there issometning wrong—no doubt about it.— American Volunteer. ARRIVAL OF GEN. FOSTER AT HOME. Our gallant and distinguished candidate lor Governor arrived from ilie East by the mid-day train of Wednesday. lie was met at the depot by a crowd of his admirers and triends, inclu ding many ot the Opposition party, am; was es corted by a band <>t music and a procession to his house. Having arrived there, he was ad dressed by Gen. Wiliiam A. Stokes in substance as follows : I am most happy,' Gen. Foster, as the organ of vour tellow citizens of Westmoreland coun ty, to bid you hearty welcome to your home.— We salute you, sir, if not as conqueror upon the field which you have nobly fought, as tfie unchallenged hero of right, and truth, and jus tice. You may well say, as did Francis 1, al ter the disastrous oattle of Padua, "We have lost everything but our honor." Here, sir, the homage of our hearts is offered as compensation for error and defection elsewhere. But indeed you need no compensrlion. A'our manly reso lution and firmness, impenetrable by adversity ; your retrospect ot the path of honor, which you have trod with unfaltering steps; and the spon taneous- support which you have received from [he wisest and best of your political opponents, offered us satisfaction which words cannot em bellish. You have rebuked the fuiv of fanaticism, and have held the scales with impartial indepen lence between the warring elements of evil. Mighty and majestic man, we contemplate you with irrepressible and inexpressible admiration, rhe truths which ycu have given to the world will never d e, f r they reflect the immortality j >f the Divine author of all truth. ; or ourselves, sir, we are reconciled to the oss which Pennsylvania has sustained, by our treat gain in having all of you for ourselves bone. Secure in the affections cf our people, j rou may defy the frowns of fortune. Favorite on of old Westmoreland, we unite in reverent ' iomnge to your virtues. Elsewhere, you are he illustrious champion; here you are the i "ailhful friend. And for our part, we may all say, in the lan mage of the Psalmist, "We are beaten but not r anquished ; cast down but not dismay ■d." Again and agafn, sir, with a heart too full for itterance, I bid you welcome, and Jthrice we!- j ome, to the home which is honored by being I 3 i ours. Gen. Foster replied : GEN. STOKES AND MY FRIENDS :It is impos votes —it hould have been 2000. To her lasting shame e it said, a large number of her Democracy as ssted at his sacrifice. The Grecians were fre uently guilty ot the folly of ostracising their est citizens, but the hour of repentance came, nd they were recalled. No man living has riends more devoted and attached than Gen. "oster ; this is due to hts noble and generous ature and his commanding ability. We were ti Greensburg whpn Gen. Foster reached home, nd present at his reception. His friends gath red about him and exhibited feelings of the eepest attachment. It was a proud moment or the brave champion and defender ot Dem- j cratic principles, and will long live in our | aemory.— Blairsville Record. TARIFF AND ANTI-TARIFF. The Lincolnites say much against those who !o not fully agree on political questions com lining to support the same electoral ticket.— low much more consistent they are in their lolitical action, the following, from the Phil .delplna Monitor, will show : HAMLIN THE FREE-TRADER. —Will Mr. Ham in give the friends of protection a written iledge that in the event of Lincoln's death, he vill recommend a Protective I iritP In S'ew Yoik, the elector at the head of the list nsists that the JLack Republican platform is ipposed to a tariff. Mr. Hamlin himself has 11 ways been about as ultra a free-trader as ever Mr. "Calhoun was. Hence in Pennsylvania md New Jersev, where so many tariff men ire enlisted in the Republican cause, it is but lair and proper that such a pledge should be riven. long since I called upon some lady friejnds of mine, and was ushered into the parlor by the servant ghl. She asked what name she should announce, and I, wishing to take them by snprise, repled .Imicut. (a friend). She seemed at first a little puzzled, but quickly regaining tier composure, she, in the blandest manner possible, observed, ; What kin i of a cuss, Sir V WIEOfiE sft 22. VOL. 4. NO. 33. THE AMERICAN FLAG FIRED HV A WIDE AWAKE TOUCH ! \Y hile the Republican party all over the country has exhibited so little respect for the American flag that they were induced to blot nut in '56 the .stars representing the Southern States, we little conceived that one among them could be found so utterly debased as to set fire to the American flag ! —And yet this act of Vandalism was left lor a Wiikes-Barre Wide .Awake to consummate! On Friday evening last, the Democrats held a meeting on the Court House Square which was addressed by Col. J. G. Freeze, of Columbia county, Stanly Woodward and E. B. Chase, Esqrs., of Wiikes-Barre. The meeting was well atten ded, and all it? doings were characterized by good order. A flag waved from the speaker's tand, which was allowed to remain there when the meeting adjourned. The Wiikes- Barre Wide Awake Club, which had paraded the streets early in the evening, went to Scran on, and returned about one or two o'clock in he morning. As these worthies appioached he Square, one of them was seen to walk up to he stand where the flag was nailed, and delib rately applying his torch to it, burned it from he pole. Such an act furnishes its own com mentary. We will only add the inquiry, how tan any National Union-loving man vote ivith a party whose teachings tend to the de duction of our country's Gag ?— Luzerne. Union. * * MORE THAN NEGRO EQUALITY CLAIM ED. The Boston Alias, a leading Republican pa >er of the New England States, is hard down n the foreign born—especially the Irish.
