The Suffrage Question.
Tub time has come when honest men of all
partioH Bhould look upon the question of suf
frage' aa one to be settled, not by prejudice
and the judgments of a former era, but by the
dictates of sound reason and impartial justice.
The negroes of the South are hereafter to
enjoy the elective franchise. That point may
be considered settled. Having onoe become
members of. the body politic, they cannot be
expelled therefrom except at the cost of a
bloody revolution. But while the great mass
of the colored people of this country have be
ooine invested with all the rights of citizen
ship, there are considerable numbers of them
in many of the Northern States who are still
unjustly excluded from the ballot-box by laws
passed originally in the interest of the now
overthrown slave system. The question arises,
whether all such laws ought not to be imme
diately repealed, as inconsistent with the
oharacter of our own free institutions and at
war with the general humane and progres
sive sentiment of the age.
We are sometimes told that it is inconsis
tent on the part of the North to insist upon
negro suffrage at the South, while negroes are
excluded from the ballot-box in so many of
the Northern States. We prefer to put the
inconsistency in its proper light by saying
that it is grossly inconsistent for the North to
continue these unjust laws of exclusion against
the blacks here, while we have overthown the
same species of enactments, and with refer
ence to a vastly more numerous class of
people, at the South. The inconsistency is
on the part of wrong doing, and not on that
of right doing; and it consists in doing wrong
here at home, while we are doing right at the
South.
In the great work of Reconstruction, conse
quent upon the overthrow of thu Rebellion, it
became necessary for the nation to determine
vho should be considered the body politic at
the South. And this question was to be set
tled upon principles of justice and right, and
not in accordance with those lingering relics
of the pro-slavery age which still remained in
some of the State laws of the North. Accord
ingly, there was nothing to be done but to
recognize the blacks as a part of the people.
They could no more be excluded than could
the whites. They were citizens of the United
States, born upon its soil and amenable to its
t mi i i 3 e
laws, mere was no possiuie grounu ior ex
cluding them from the political community.
To have attempted to do so, as Mr. Johnson
did, in professed obedience to the old State laws
and institutions which had perished amid the
fires of war, would have been to acknowledge
that the whole work of Reconstruction was
itself a nullity and a fraud. For if the old
State laws of the South were authoritative on
the point of suffrage, they were upon all other
points; and the Rebel Governments which
were in de facto possession of the Southern
States on the overthrow of the Rebellion were
also legitimate, and entitled to respect and
obedience. In brief, if the nation was entitled
to reconstruct at all, it was bound to recon
struct on the principles of justice and free
government. Hence, the recognition of the
blacks as a constituent part of the body politic
was a necessary result of our republican form
or government. Had Congress excluded them,
Congress would have been itself euiltv of
founding a new oliearchv and Vvmi,iSn I
new despotism in place of the old.
The nation having thus, through its appro
priate organ, Congress, established suffrage
in the inchoate States of the South upon the
v j vuaaiun. u vj cat
v. mo uujusi laws ol our
Northern States upon the same subject stand
out in a now relief of inconsistency and wrons?
If the colored citizen is justly entitled to vote
At the South, why not at the North? By
what rule of equity do we exclude him hera ?
We shall not discuss the question whether
voting is a natural right or a conventional
privilege. In either case it must stand uron
an equitable basis. Society has no right to
lie unjust in tne bestowal of its mioikm,
Hence, we are prepared to say that the exclu
sion of ny citizen from the ballot-box on the
J f 1.1- ! .
gruuuu ui ua uuiui ia a monsil'OUS piece of
injustice; and it is a wrong so glaring, a piece
of tyranny so inexcusable, that no argument
or apology can be offered for it. Indeed, those
who support it never resort to argument, for
there is literally no argument to be offered
for it. A property test for voting has some
basis of reason, for it may be plausibly
urged that a man shouVl have some pecuniary
interest in a government whose power he
shares. The payment Of a twr. as a prerequisite
for voting is not wholly indefensible, for it
may be said that he who by his vote may
Impose taxes on others, should himself pay a
tax. A qualification of intelligence for voting
stands upon strong grounds, for it maybe
argued that a very ignorant man is neces
sarily not qualified to take a part in
government. But upon what possible
ground can tne mere accident of color,
standing in no relation to a man's moutal
or moral qualifications be made the excuse
for excluding him from the ballot-box ? Any
other physical qualifications might as well be
made a test W this. It would be as reasonable
to exclude men on account of the color of their
eyes, or that of their hair, or their height or
or anv other Durelv physical dbou.
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY,
liarity, aa on account of the color of their
skins. Voting is an aot of the will, ft choioe
of the mind. It is not a man's color that
votes, but the man, the thinking, reasoning,
immortal being. It is impossible that an
exclusion from the most sacred franohise of
citizenship, so unjust, and so destitute of all
reasonable and intelligent basis as this is,
should much longer continue to exist. It is a
disgrace to our statute-bcoks, and an oppro
brium to the civilization of the age. Even par
tisanship itself cannot much longer float a
practice so weighed down with moral obloquy.
Intelligent and fair-minded Democrats must
finally revolt at being driven on by supposed
party exigencies to the continued support of
a measure so essentially ; undemocratic. We
are glad to see that so influential a journal as
the New York World expresses the opinion
that in New York there will be no serious op
position to the removal of the restriction that
lias hitherto prevailed in that State against
colored citizens. We may hope that other
States will follow so good an example.
Canvass the South.
Wr publish elsewhere in our paper to-day a
thoroughly sensible letter from Oscar M.
Waring, a colored teacher in the South,
addressed to Judge Kelley. The views taken
by the writer are full of force, and must con
vince every member of the Republican party
in the North of the absolute necessity of
liberal action in regard to the Southern blacks.
What is needed at the present time is a vast
supply of political tracts, pamphlets, and
speeches, plainly worded, which will convey
at once, even to the uneducated mind of the
blacks, the true position of the various parties
in regard to negro suffrage. The freedmen
are as a body illiterate and susceptible. Their
former owners are endeavoring to caress and
cajole them into a belief that their triuj in
terest is to support their former masters.
There need be no surprise, if the North
remain inert, when the colored vote in the
Southern States is cast for our political foes.
Accustomed, as the down-trodden negroes
always have been, to obey every word of their
white neighbors, and to receive from them
only supercilious contempt, it is not unnatural
that they should yield to flattery, and hail
with joy a smile from a source which hereto
fore had given thorn only frowns.
Unless, therefore, the North at once takes
the matter of educating the blacks in political
truths in hand, and commences immediately
to inundate all the Southern States with radi
cal tracts, we will deserve to meet the fate in
store for us, and see the black vote with the
Rebel. If, however, the Republican com
mittees commence to work, if they forward
every species of publication of Republican
doctrines, and scatter them broadcast over the
South, we can, beyond all doubt, secure the
entire negro vote. What, then, is needed ?
We do not hesitate to declare that the great
requisite is money. The Congressional com
mittee, appointed by the radical caucus pre
vious to the termination of the session, is
ready to go to work as soon as the necessary
funds are placed within its reach. It will
doubtless appeal to the purses of our wealthy
Republican citizens, and such an appeal has
never and will never be made in vain. Hon.
William D. Kelley, member from Fennsyl
vania, is already taking active steps, and lias
thus far met with that success which the
urgent necessity of the case demands. But
much more is needed.
Not only are writings necessary, but the
canvass ot tne soutnem states snoum oe
conducted the same as we do a canvass in our
own State. The entire country ought to be dis
tricted off ; speakers allotted to each district,
who, supplied with pamphlets, would go
through all the land enlightening the blacks;
we must organize such a crusade. Senator
Wilson is already at work, but he is one
agst a thousand seductive Southern orators
Let us have a Wilson in every county of
'
every Southern State. Let colored and white
speakers be furnished, and when once our
energies are aroused, and the party well in
working harness, , the blacks will see their
true friends, and never mistake a task-master
for a guardian angel. If we act at once we
will be in time; if we delay a year it will be
too late. JNow is tne accepted time. "The
harvest indeed is ready, but the laborers are
few."
