Wilson, the Abolition member from this district.

At one fell swoop this minion of niggerisni from the barbwoui wilds of Tioga, has severed himself with undying infamy, and tendered his name odious to the oars of every really right-thinking man in his district.

And yet it is so. Along with the majority of Abolition Members, `'our" Congress man lice shown himself an enemy of his own race--a poor, mean, despicably' wretch. • .

You, perhaps, by that time, withyour eyes open, voting for the interests of' the white man, and he for the nigger! We ask, how do you like the prospect now—how will you like the reality then ? It yet remains for the Senate and the President to say whether this bill shall become a law.

At the late els* lion there nearly seven thousand -votes were east • against negro suffrage, while only thirty-sevemvotes were cast in its favor.

ThiB is not the time to indulge in personal Hiatt or dis likes. There is too much at stake to ad mit of any bickerings just now as to who shall have the honor of leading the Demooratio hosts to victory next fall, and every man should be prepared to accept the decision of the Convention as the best that could be made, and then go to work with a will and a vigor that tail not be overcome.

The act oilthe repreeentstive branch of the XX.XIX Congress, on the 18th of Jane ary,.has excited the emotion of be entire republic. "Jubilant" is the ottl word that will Pe;Teri)? convey an idea of fia. of the negro over his politicil equality. Beecher who has preached, Greely who has threatened, Cheever who has prayed, Sum ner who has sworn, and the little Republi cans who have howled it,..are stirred up to Mistat 6; bights of bliss, as they believe they see in this not the first revolution of the wheel which will roll on and on until all distinctions between races are irrevocably crushed. While the °pp.:meals of negro suffrage are alarmed, they do not, we fear, realize, to its full eztent, the portentous ness . of the struggle hereby Inaugurated. Congress, by the passage of this act, in di rect opposition to thh expressed wishes of tho people most iMmediately interested, has, prematurely for them, sounded the too sin which has alarmed, and will be the means Of preserving the republic from eter nal disintegration.
