If he has regard to his honor, Le will witsll his hands of complicity, however remote It might bo, with this swindle. MESE! It has been fashionable for Democratic leaders, while rrofessing to believe in the' essential anti inalienable equality of all men, to display their wit, malice and vulgarity over the proposition to admit Flack Airiericans to the right of suffrage. They so did because they had an interest in pandering to the vile r 11.510718 and prejudices of a considerable class of white people, who were nearest the no- . Ernes lack of in'clligence, refinement and secial standing. That censurable habit is rapidly gang out of use, and soon will be known no more.. Not th .1 the aforesaid leaders : have become more scrupulous or decent thin they were; but .because a numerous and powerful body of voters has been created, the ex istence of which they dare not i4nore, and to insult which would be absolutely fatal. Iu eleven of the Southern States . the blacks have hillots in their heads; in Tenriesaee, by St't rirtion, and tulle ten seceding dates by law of Congress. In some - of those States, evens may speedily disclose that the political con trol is in their . ..hands. Certainly, if they act together, in any one or in all of those eleven I!satcs, it will requital the co-oper ation with them- if only u.smoll pert of the whites to cqns'itute a formidable ma- jority. ' In this new aspect oLnffairs it is in. erectly° to notice with what earnest Xmas the Northern dunocratie leaders join the Southern rebel leaders in recom mending to their followers the necessity - or "courting" the blocks. It is tee germ he rated as a high dornorral sc. comPlishment to be skilled in heaping unmsasured abuse and obloquy upon a nee whom misfortunes have been ac counted an crimes and whose .defence _ lessuess ensured iiepunity. Front weak ness that needles risen into strength. It has become, to au important extent, a dispenser of 'tenors. It can lift. up or put down, It can gratlfythe s of aspiring democrats, or • crush those ambitions into the very mire. The lea ders will have little difficulty in coining the smoothen, phrases, and in Making et, ea rer silt olyti.:ance., where they have so mud: at stake. They are inheri , ors of the elect that inspired Dryden's sarcasm, "ruuttemna neither leee um bate." :They go fur the main chance, nu matter what means may be necessary. • But it may reasonably be conjectured that not a little tulden will have to be expended on - the rank and file before they learn to bless where they have de lighted to curse. It is hard to eradicate at once a custcm so long indulged as to be ingrained into the nature of its de votee.. A good deal will have to tee ex fused on•lhe score-of lingering remains of the old depravity. .Repugnancies which have consumed sixty years inen gendiring, cannot be overcome by a ne cronianeer's incantation. Meanwhile it may as well he remem bered that the Union League has quietly extended its organization all over the Southern States. ln sonic of them it embraces a respectable minority of the white voters. These, all along, had good understanding with the blacks. As coon as the Military 'Governments, re eently-prerided tor, shall be actually es= tahlished and in full operation, loyal men will experience less difficulty, and encounter diminished risks, in publicly declaring themselves., and in taking such =emu:Tens they may deem expedient. BeAdes, the more couspicuuus and in fluential classes of confessed rebels have had" the right of voting and holding ofilee taken from them in punishment of their offences. Releafter they will be compelled to 'hake back seats." Politi- . .cal power has passed fusels their hands, pot to return, and will be- gathered up . and held by new and mainly young men. Sonar of these new men may be under the dominion, lees or racer, of tradition ary ideas and animosities, but these it- fluences disappear sooner than super ficial observers are wont to think. What fierce and bloody foals swept along the coterminous boundary of Eng.! land and St:Arland! Not a trace of them meanies except in musty legends. The British Crown has to-dity no more loyal su l jects tharrthe Scotch. The oil bat -red died out long ago. By what desper ate factions was 'France torn. and man pied towards the close of the. Just cen tury! Eyes that witnessed the Reign of Terror are not yet closed in death. Where Frenchmen. slaughtered each other it fiendish hate.-their children and • grand children meet in concord to cele . brute national triumphs. Last Buettner, Germany was "rent by civil feuds, and drenched in fraternal blood." 'ls.fow the • States that then met is sanguinary strife, makm haste, in denim; 'of .interposing treaties, to embrace_ each other, and blend their dissevering govera n ,",i n , le ., one so mighty that it shall cover and defend all. • So long as doubt and tnartainty rest ed upon the project for Stripping the reb el leaders of power tinder the re.orgabi heti government, new men hesitated *to come for ward. Old habits of deference, experience of the mighty sway exerted by the chiefs of the disloyal faction, fear of encountering n competition with which - they were unable to cope—these, and cognate considerations, restrained them front ladependent efforts to take the political power into their own hands. All this is changed. The old leaders arc powerless. New men must necessarily take theirplcecs. .Na fear need he en tertained en to their coining forward, and asserting, as best they may, their differ ent pretensions. If the old party leaders; on both sides, here in Pennsylvania, should beset aside —no midi, r how arbitrarily, as that the exclusion was absolute and final—there would ba little grief among the individ• nal, whem they have overshadowed sad kept is obscurity. There would be joy slaty. Fresh vistas of hopo and amtd. lion would open before hundreds of men, which they would do and dare much to Transform into reality. The men of the South were cast substantially in the earns mold its men here. It is not in human nature—least of all, in the nature of pol iticians—to deplore and lament the taking off of rivals. 'Whoever watches carefully the new political ruovemehts at the South, will soon perceive abundant evidences of o serious struggle og the part of fresh sets for the control of public affairs. The set that links itreif manfully with the best aspirations of the age; makes no concealments; and aceepts Co ccupro— MIST, will certainly . Wlll the field and bear;the palm. DESTITUTIO , i Poverty Is the dark side of Eookty. It is not peculide to this age, or to one form of Civilization. Modern poverty bas ameliorations, the thought or which would have tilled ancient conservatism withindignation. Cannibalism no longer retina its horrid front, and the poor are not fattened for the shamble.. The butchery of captives after battle is no longer general, though our late war rut n. ished some sad examples, on the rebel side, of relapses into the old barbarism. Frequent wars for the sake of plunder; and the enslavement of tha weak, no matter of what race- or color, have ceased to be allowable. These enormi ties. of the • savage, the barbarous, the classic and the feudal periods, are no longer ingredients in the peculiar mis ery of the poor. Among the uncivilized tribes of the' tropics there is little or no poverty. -The epontaniety of Nature keeps men and women from the pressure of absolute want, and takes from them, at the same time the most valuable incentives to ex ertion. The inertia comes not more front the torrid heat, than from the case with which common wants are euppited. Labor is superfluous. If the eivilmation of liarsher regions, with its multiplied artifizial needs, should be introduced among the children of the sun; destitu tion would follow in the train. Poverty, like other forms of suffering, plays an important part In the economy , of the world. Look about you, In this c. entry, and see who possess - the earth. I Enter stately cities; andsee who luhobit tee oslacc3. Here and 'there you will dud the offspring of rich parents in the Nos, salon of continued wealth; hut of- tener the offspring of - the comparatively poor. Why is this? - In Europe, among the same races, • whose cont.mingling here, see insist is producing the fairest and noblest type of manhood the - world has seen, it is not uncommon foriwealth, rank and abilities to descend hi' particular families for many generations. There wealth bands up families and holds them in fcrmanent greatness. Here wealth cats into and corrupts the vim: force of nearly all who achieve It. A wan by superior energy Hies out of poverty into wealth. You hyikfor his children and grand-childr.n. and you find theta where ho There are exceptions to this rcle . :,;hut on ly- er.reptions. A sufficient explanation of such con stant phenomena cannot Le found, as is sometimes attempted, in the ahaylon-. meat here of the laws of priteogetaiturc and entail. It is true that ordinarily when an American acquires a omen. henry or a superabounding fortune, he Ifres inn manner equal to what Le Las. He induces upon all his children nr,,e• tile?, tastes and desires corresponding to his revenues. These wants, however ar [Metal, arc as imperious and exacting as any others. When the 'father dies, the portion of etch is insufficient, and most of the heirs soon sink into obscurity, if not into actual want. In a ceriain city we once heard of three rich men dying, leaving wealth to the aggregate of nine millions. In eleven years all that re_ mauled was in the hands of mins-M.lr.r who started poor, and that slid not exceed three thousand dollars. But passing by the good evolved out of poverty in the economy of the world, just as good is educed out of all wher forms of evil, the question constantly occurs, Is poverty an essential, sub,tan tial sod integral element to civ ilizationt or is it an accidental and transient element, amenable to suppres sion? The answers wo get from di.Ter eat individuals depend upon the views they take of certain larger SUbjC67. Is evil inherent in the human nature, or is it transient, belonging not to the nature of man, but to the process of develop- Meat? To pursue this inquiry would take ns wide of the purpose we have in hand. There are natural and organic canoes of poverty. Not a few arc born into the_ midst of want, ignorance, idleness, filthiness, intemperance, vice and crime. Few so horn, ever get outof that sphere. Many great, and prosperous men come of humble parentage; not one in a thous and, with vile surroundings, ever get beyond. ]lnch permanent poverty comes ' from lack of physical or mental ability. In greet herds of cattle the weakest al ways get crowded; many evert unto death. Aniong men .thn stronger take care of themselvos, ridiag on tbe top, while the weaker go ander. There are also social causes, as idleness, wasteful ness and intemperance. Of all, the lat ter is roost KOS c. So long as these causes remain, poverty will ;exist like- N% i4e. , ♦t various times attempts Laic been made to e. organize labor as to include and provide for all. Much tinned nad enthusiastic Evenlation has be , .n indulged, but the ..returns so far have not been commenearatc to the ex pectation. The poverty of one class news to rluk deeper as the riches of Another class rises higher. Opulence and squalor confront each other, ia equal excess. The richer the rich hecorne, the deeper beconies, the poverty sof the poor. What horriele ernaintils arc 'resealed in London and New York, the crowning types of modern civilization!
