The Negro to Vote
The Legislature of Connecticut
has passed, by a two thirds vote, an
Ilktuendutent to the State Constitution
striking from the suffrage clause the
'word "white." It wilt now be left to a
vote of the people, who will decide for
themselves whether or not they are bet
tier than Degrees. The abolition papers
think there can be no iloulet as to the
rilirsk, and we suppose they have good
Mka - for supposing so. A people that
will season their own victuals With hem
lock nutmegs, sell their own poor wood
en hams, and choat themselves out of
the necessaries of life in order to be
"kirmted smart," wouldbe just about
"allikit , " enough to put themselves on
an equality with negroes, and then boast
of having accomplished a L'iiensiderable
thing'." And they will have accomplish
ed tomething. for we firmly believe that
there is nqt a negro on this continent
but Is, in every, respect, morally, so
cially, and politically, the equal of any
Connecticut abolitionist that, will vote
for negro equality.. They can fraternizd;
but if either party loses by the opera
tion it will be the black---he is the better
an l mure'sonsible of the two. ,
And this question will be up, not only
for the people of Connecticut to decide
el, but for us 'of Pennsylvania also. It
will be a plink in the next abolition
State platform, and the candidates of
that party, both. State and eounty will
be pledged to that infamous doctrine.
Sooner or Inter this question must be
decided, and the democracy of the coun
try--the conservatives—those who are
4
opposed to..any amalgamation of, be
Caucasian with the A,trinau, and w 1
sire to keep the black man in his pro r I
position, must be prepared to meet it
whenever it is forced upon them. The i
fanaticism of the age bat run wild, and . t

Jefferson Davis Is prisoner in the

The election in Virginia on Thursday

success of the friends of Southern chivalry

It Won't Work
ere are some of the more knowing
of the abolition party, who see the effect
a cessaation of the war will produce upon
the voting population, and they are tun
ing their harps already to catch thopub
lie ear, in order to shift the responibility
ol' the war on to the shoulders ofthe 11t-
itineracy and the people of the South.
They knit that the ".sober second
thought'' of the. people will condemn
them as the guilty perpetrators of all
our woes, and as trying ,to clear their
skirts by belying their record, But it
will not work. No amount of tivisti»g.
squirming, or lying will relieve them of
the load that mu-it eventually be their
political damnation. History is against
them, truth is against them. and their
own black record is again.t them, and
will condemn them. Dow threw the

questions that plunged us into war; they

that the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny has passed a resolution prohibiting
its agents from aceepting any paper
money, except Unii#l States bank -notes,
in payment of either freight or fare:
We suppose the Company has a right to
say what sort of money it will receive,
but it is certainly in bad taste to refuse
-to take the money of a State to which it
owes its entire wealth. It has been well
said that "corporations have no souls,"
and this mammoth concern that may now

tate as it Pleases, may find that there is
a power migloier still than it. The

efforts to control money and other mat-
tors in our proud old Commonwealth.

Although the Attorney-General confines his
terrible strictures to the state of things in
his own State, yet they are equally applica
ble to every other State. The principle of
provost marshal authority is the same every
where. It is a usurpation. It is a despot
ism. It Is without the least authority of
law. Any act of violence done by a provost
marshal is just as illegal as the :abhorrent
act of assasdinntion. Attorney-general
Bales' letters put this rule of the provost
marshals in the &Ail startling light. We.
should think that every provost niaretnil who
reads these letters, would almost feel the
(lords tightening around hie neck. This dis
tinhed member of Mr. Idnooln's Cabinet
is doing his country a service, at last, which
will go far to atone for his long and crimin
al silence on these outrages upon libertyand
law. We trust that when his lettere are fin

The following editorial, which we repro

nothing but the truth:
"We.ehonld fudge teem the tone of a part
of the Northern press that the war was not

than ever. We are stu,.• lose to see whet
they Want with a Union with a country that
they hate, and with a people that all deserve
to be hanged. Some of these organs have

ries told by 'Benjamin Franklin. A li tle
boy going to school was accosted by a tnan
carrying , an axe. The man calls the boy a)1
kinds of pretty and endearing names, and
induces biro to eider a - yard istire there ho
a grindstone. "Now my pretty little fel
low," nays he with the - axe, "only turn that
handle, and you will BCC something pretty "
The boy turns and turua r and the man bolds
the axe to the stone and pours water over it
.until the axe is ground. Straight way he
tunas with strident voice and tierce/ gesture
on the boy : "You abandoned little mis•
ereant," lie crime , "what do you mean by
praying truant from school-? You deserve
a gond thrashing. Get you gone, sirrali,

Franklin, when anybody flattered me, 1
always thought he had alt axe to grind!"
