put the question to the people for their
decision. Should the people of the
several States of this Government have
less power in changing a fundamental
principle of their organic law than the
subjects of England? Should Con-
gress and the State Legislatures of the
American Republic assume authority
that the monarchies of Europe fear to
assert? And yet it is being done, done
now, and a party claiming to be re-
publican in principle is the party com-

that neither you or I will go down to

other question involved in this disens-
races, even were the right to enfran
chise the negro as proposed by this
measure undeniable, how many, very
there are why it should not be doue.
The only arguments that have been
advanced here or elsewhere by the ad-
vocates of negro voiiug, appear to be
based upon the great fallacy that the
n2zro is only a white man with a black
skin—that he possesses the sam intol-
Fretual and moral faculties as the
white race, an my, therefore, he incor-
porated with the social anl civil ele-
m nts of our society as an equal part
ner in the government of our country.
On no other ground would any man
of ordinary intellizence elaim the
equality of suffrage for the negro. On
no other grounds could it be claimad
with ut a manifest design of demoral-
izing and dehanching our civilization.
Dano other groun 1s ean they base any
argument in favor of this black meas-
ure Tha “loyalty” of the blacks will
not do. The people understand that
too well, “Loyalty” has covered too
many infamous crimes to make a cloak
to cover more. The masses can see
through it—can understand it; they
detest it, they spurn it. It was the
watchword of the tories of the Revolu.
tion. It was the watchword of the
theives, Puritan hypocrites, Constitu-
tion defiers, law hreakers, treasury
robbers, divina bullies, sanctified muz-
derers, spies, pimps, cut-throats, and
the whole horde of unprincipled
wretches, politcal vasabonds and pris-
on deserving villians, who reaped riches
out of the blood of the people, and
ghoul-like gioated over the misery of
the country during the late unholy
crusade for plunder and power. No
sir, “loyalty” will do no longer. There
must be some other reason for the en.
franchisement of the negro population,
and members upon the othe: side can
only base their arguments upon the
assumption of the morg] gnd intallectu-
