in possession of overflowing revenues,
appealing at once to the ambition and cu
.pidity of its foremost citizens. Under
all forms of government and re,ll/01 1 ,
land in all conditions of mental
element and moral discipline, correspond
ing fsicts have been evolved. Under mon
archieq, a few prominent families are en
_
riched a the public expense; the redeem
jug feature being that they ordinarily, re
jain their positions, after they Imve
gor.ged to repletion, Instead of falling
I.,sek and making room for other aspi
=its- who are empty-handed and as
greedy as want can make them. In re
publics there are constant successilks of
blood-stickers, who fasten upon the
Treasury, and manage to fill themselves
more or less completely. In View of
these facts, under President JacasoN's
administration it w ht prudent,
when a fiducial agen coolsgovernment
had stolen all his pockets full, to let him
I I remain, because his successor .svoulq go
through the same operation. It took less
to satisfy one plunderer than two.
The war for the preservation of the
Union precipitated the catastrophe. Of a
sudden, Congress contracted the habit of
dealing with immense sums, beyond all
former experience, and, simultaneously,
the people discovered their cam' . t y for
sustaining burdens to which the y not
been accustomed. 'Nor was this ail, or
the worst of the case. The expansion
of the curreney, by a prodigious volume
of irredeemable palter promises to gay,
lifted hundreds of thousands of men out
of debt,' seriously at the expense of their
creditors, and into circumstances of opu
lence or something akin thereto. And,
there, while the prohess of inflation went
- on, and any commodity bought to-day
was sure to sell tomorrow at , a-round ad
vance, it could'not'he otherwiiie than that
a spirit of inordinate speculation and of
unwonted extravagance should beengen
&red. Business teen. became eager for
government contracts, and did not hesi
tate to tempt the officials having the
granting of them by munificent largesseL
Cupidity and corruption among the peo
ple acted upon placemen, and was re.,
acted thence upon the people. It is not
easy to see how matters could have been
different, considering the materials of
Which human nature,, on the average, is I
composed; but the result is none the less'
to be deplored, because inevitable.
The slime of a serpent can often be de
tected after he is gone; and the war has
left mischievous legacies behind it -in a
greed for public plunder so keen, and a
depth of corruption so profound, as to
awaken the most painful apprehensions
for the final result. A halt must not only
be called, but enforced. The outgoing
Congress is clearly not adequate to this
duty. On the contrary, it gives sigiie of
a recklessness in appropriations which
fills the whole country with dismaY, ex
cepting only the limited few who are to
be aggrandizeal and enriched by the
ahanieless jobberies.
It is no wonder, in view of the exhibi
tion presented, that General GB.A.FT has
felt constrained to fall hack upon his own
judgment in organizing a new adminis
tration, charged with the high responsi
bility of attesting the downward tendency
of public affairs, and so retrenching ex
penditures as to preserve the National
honor, and at the same time lessen the
pressure of taxation. He has not seen that
he could wifely look to l the two Houses,
as now organized, for that kind and de
gree of help he needed. The fault was
not with him, but with those who forced
the necessity upon him;

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
Whoever has considered attentively the
progress of mankind in any one depart
ment of activity, has been deeply im
pressed with the fact that the movement,
except In special eitocha or crises, has been
surprisingly slow. Take an illustration
from manufacturing industry. Iron has
been made for many ages. - The manu
facture and use of it form the basis of all
civilization. Take' iron away, and the
foremost nations would sink at once
- back - into the flint-hatchet era of the race;
that is, into the grossesebarbarism. Six
thousand years, at least, before the simple
principle, known as the ELLEnsuannu
procees, was AisCovered and applied, and
'the application of that principle is as yet
eiceedingiy crude and imperfect.. Some
thing has, indeed, been accomplished;
but the revelation of possibilities in the
Mitre, by modilicationa of :the method,
promise yet grander results.' Who can'
tell how many ages may elapse before this
promise eluel be realised? Take another
illustration from the domains of manners
and governments. There have been, all

though the nation ie•moving haltingly to
that coasummation.
It seems probable that the . Fortieth
Congress, in the few days that remain to
it, will snperadd to the claims it has al
ready earned to the gratitude of the pres-
ent age and of posterity, by the submis
sion of a Constitutional Amendment to
the Legislatures of the respective States
securing the right of suffrage to all adult
male &teens, without regard to coldr, for
tune or former 'condition of aer4itude.
This is exactly half that ought to be done;
but it will so content to gain that much
that we have no inclbuttion to embsxras
the movement by insisting upon enlarge
meats which cannot now be obtained.
If this amendinent shall be proposed„
will secure, almost immediately, ratifica
tion by the needful number of 'Aglaia!
tures, save two, to give it fall validity as
part and parcel of the Constitution. The
assent of the _ other Legislatures will not
have to be waited fore very long. The
Southern States already have black suf.
- _
frage fastened upon them, even against
their consent, and will not be tardy in
doing by Northern States what has been
done by them. If this seems to be an in
fringement of. the Golden Buie, the dis
crepancyht more. in sound than•in sub.
stance. At all events, there is a political
justice in the commending by Southern
States of the chalice of Universal Suf
frage to the lips of these who made them
drink of it; and the sooner this whole
some retribution shall be accomplished,
the better for both races here, and for
civil freedom everywhere.
That the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
now in session. will pass this Constitu
tional AmendMent, if it shall reach it in
time,we do not question, and the Amend
ment will reach it in season if the current .
Congress shall pass it—for the Legislature
will remain - in session a fortnight after
the terra of this Congress shall expire.
If such action 'shall be had by the Lees
,
laturts, the whole matter will be dipposed
of, so far as this State will be concerned.
Of course, %el will be to endure
the clamor with which the Democrata
assailevery vindication of popular rights,
and, iedeed, every measure they disap
prove, whether involvine elementary prin
ciples or only topici,of simple expedien
cy. But that clamor has become so
common that even the most timid voters
have ceased to be frightened by it.
What a prodigiots din the Democratic
orators and journals raised lastyear about
"greenbacks for bonds," They started
out with the idea that every tax-payer was
a scoundrel, and would loin in effecting
an immense natice.al swindle for the sake
of relieving Ins own burdens. We knew
and said, when they started, that a calcu
lation of results so clearly ?wed on the
presumption that the people *ere nearly
all either knaves or fools, would come to
grief; and it did.' There has been no
Democratic clamor on that subject since
the election,-nor will there be hereafter.
Nor is this the total upshet cif; that exper
meat upon the credulity and cupidity of
the people. , ; Manifestly, that result has
other applications, and not least to•the
question of Universal Suffrage..
