They would not consent to the cert .-Spain-lion Of aneleassindatien." =Living in dlitiio noted for the CMccsinesis of its white inhabitants, they aspired.ro the best affiliation and would accept tiothing less. In former times black men voted in. Penn : sylvan's on the mine conditions as white men. Such inquiries as we have instituted is virloui parts olthe:GommonWialth lead to the conch:taloa that our blacks were tint as fastidious es ths,negroes of the aristo cratic district of Bos , on. Almost without exception they voted the deraocraticticket. Not a few Incidents haie been related to us of the zeal with which the democratic lea. den drummed rip their black friends and brought them_ to the polls. In particular we remember enjoying &hearty laugh at the dt scription a gentlemen, widely known and noted for his intelligence awl loy alty, gave us of a controversy he got into in early life; by challenging the vote of a black. emocrat, who was born in St. Do mingo, and had not been naturalized here. The democratic leaden were irate that "an old citizen, of character and Embitter= should be insulted bye stripling." Their phraseology waspst as courtly toward the black man as it would have been had ho - belonged to the upper circles of the dom inant race. But In our researches into the matter we never could ascertain that:say white Demo cratic magnate bad invited a black con frere to his bonne to • dinner, or seated him in his pew at church, or married him to his daughter. There is some evidence to show that on election days, when contests ran high, black and white Democrats went t 3 . .ths polls arm in arm; and that is mitual jobilauce over a victory, anticipated or achieved, they hobnobbed over their whin. ky. 'lt will not do to &err 'dsmaglng in ferences from - fain liarities of this sort ; for in luso eases tte DemocrAlc leaders only sr. • cured black votta.muchrels al.they haoitn ally secure thousands of white one,. When fishing for 'votes three gentry do not acm pie to "stoop to conquer;" hut do not for st', sifter an election is over, to make such :rapitsilais-appeiti their hunilliated dig nity. We have a lading suipleon that if ne• gram' should , . 'Kiln be &Dowel to vote in Pennsylvania the Democrats would prompt ly!" resort' to their eld tactic; to wove their Fergie' ; and +h et, for one day In the peer, at knit, it neer° would be accounted-by hem s e ea %cry Sc a white man. z.P , C ~._ ~~k MIL•WINTEIL DAVIS, of Maryland, is a man of large lotolloctord AUMy.

CONCRFAS AND . ITS DUTIES Never before in the whole history of this Government have loyal citizens so heartily welcomed the assembling of Co arress as a. 'Ns moment.- The sword virtually closed its. work, in the restoration of the Union, hist spring. That work was done nobly. So far nothing was left to -be desired. In the hour of final halltary triumph the Na tional Governmentmight have dictated any terms of- reconstruction it deemed emu then accepted. It hesitated to make such deriaturda as were absolutely necessary 10 a permanent and auicessful rehabilitation of the Un 4 on. It temporised; and its policy faVed. On some accounts we are not lorry the experiment Was tried. Its trial and Its con fessed impotency, have prepared the way for a better and more effectual experiment, and at the same time deprived objector of An reasonable ground on which to stand. The President himself is clearly dissatia lied with the want of cordiality and good faith with which his scheme of Recon struction hatiben met by the controlling men of the South. His-recent dispatch to Governor Holman of /kr h Carolina is the last of a series of unmistakeable izitimations to that effect. TI now reretdos for the representatives of the States and the ipeople to assume; their legitimate authority over the whole :sub- Jett. The seratannts of the two Houses are not in doubt. They will do their duty wisely, courageously, promptly. The light at last dawns.
