THE HI gasman's fminttl. S. J. BOW, SDITOB A PROPRIETOR. CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 24, 1866. Union Statk Convention. A State Convention will be held at nrrisbur, on "Wednesday the 7th day of March, 1365, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor, to be snpported by the friends of the Union at the coming October election All the friends of our Government, and all who were loyal to the cause Tf Union, in our late struggle, are earnestly requested to unite in sending delegates to represent them in said convention. . The Law Vindicated. Mrs. Grinder was hung at Pittsburg on the 19th. Sever al hours previous to the execution, she con fessed having caused the death of Mrs. Carothers and Miss Buchanan, by adminis tering poison. Marschall and Frecke, the Boyd's Hill murderers, were executed on the 1 1 th. Truly, the way of the transgressor is hard. " Gov. Ccrtin at Home. Gov. Curtin and family arrived at Ilarrisburg, on Fri day evening. The Governor is much im proved in health. lie was enthusiastically received by the people, and, as he approach ed the Capitol, was greeted with a salute of cannon. Later, he met a number of officials and citizens at his residence. Gen.' Grant gives it as his opinion that it is not desirable at presnt to remove the Uni ted States troops from the States lately in rebellion, nor wise to put arms into the hands of the militia as a method to be relied upon .to preserve the tranquility ot the South. Council from such a source will probably be heeded. . ' j. . . . , ' John Bright said in a late speech on Irish affairs that Parliament had passed two hun dred acts in favor of the landlord and not one in favor of the tenant ! The serious question is whether such shall be the ppirit of legislation in this country legisla tion for . monopoly and no legislation for industry. : Large bodies of Northern men who had gone South to settle in Louisiana,Mississippi and Alabama, are being forced to leave their new homes by the hostile attitude of the whipped rebels, who threaten to burn the property and take the lives of all Northern men who attempt to settle in the South. The Emperor of the French has resolved to urge on the legislative branch of his gov ernment, a cultivation of friendly feelings with the people and the government of the United States. Sensible fellow, that Napo leon, as he understands how to get into a safe corner. Ex-Gov. Kirkwood of Iowa has been elec ted by the Legislature of that Stite, United States Senator to fill the unexpired term. As his successor for the long term, commen cing March 4, 1867, the Secretary of the in terior, the Hon. James Harlan, has been elected. . The Western papers are complaining that it costs three bushels of corn to send one to market, a distance of one hundred miles ; one hundred bushels to get a pair of boots ; one thousand bushels to get a suit of clothes, and two tons of corn for a ton of coal. The Florida Legislature has elected Mr. Call and Provisional Governor William Mar vin, United States Senators, over two Reb el Generals. Gov. Marvin was elected, for the short term, on the ninth balloting. General Sheridan, in reply to a recent letter of Jubal Early, has written a state ment showing that he captured, as prison ers, more men than Early reports as his en tire forces in the Shenandoah Valley. . The requisitions of the different Paymas ters have been promptly met by the Treasury Department, and they are now being dis patched to the Military Departments for the purpose of paying off troops. ' The Suffrage Bill. Last week, the U. S. House of Representatives, passed the District of Columbia Suffrage Bill, by a vote of 117 to 45. It is thought that the U. S. Senate will also pass the bill. V Nearly three hundred Postmistresses have been appointed in the South, because no man could be found who would take the oath that he had not borne arms against the U nited Slates Government -For the benefit of the poor the President has.ordered the large quantity of wood be longing to the Government to be sold in small quantities at seven dollars and a half per cord. . A constitutional amendment reported in the U. S. Senate, provides that no claim 6hall hereafter be recognized for the pay ment of losses by the emancipation of the fjaves. . REMARKS OF HOJT. G. "W. SCOFIELD, On the District of Columbia Suffrage Bill. Me. Scofield. Mr. Speaker Mr. Halk I ask the eentleman to sus pend a moment for the purpose of submit ting a motion to amend. The Speaker. A motion to amend is not in order pending the motion to re-commit. Mr. Hale. My motion is to amend by adding instructions. 1 he bPEAKER. buch a motion is in order. Mr. Hale. I move to amend the motion ot the gentleman from Iowa Mr. Wilson by adding to that motion an instruction to the committee to amend the bill so as to ex tend the right of suffrage in the District ct . I 1-11 -.1 t.oiumcia. to an iKirsons comme wimm eiui- er.of the following classes, " irrespective of caste or color, but subject only to existing provisions and qualifications other than those founded on caste or color, to wit : 1. Those who can read the Constitution of the United States ; ' 2. Those who are assessed for and pay taxes on real or personal property within the District j 3. Those who have served in and been honorably discharged frouT the military or naval service or the United fctates ; And to restrict such right of suffrage to the classes above named, and to include proper provisions excluding from the right of suffrage those who have borne arms against the United States during the late rebellion, or given aid and comfort to said retemon. The question then being upon the amend ment offered bv Mr. Hale ; Mr. Scofleld. Mr. Sneaker, the color ed population of the United States i3 now about five millions That is nearly double the population of all New England, fully one seventh of the entire population of the United estates, and almost double the pum ber that carried this country through a sev en years' war with the greatest military Power m the world. What shall be done with these five mil lion people ? Colonize them? Where and when ? To Africa ? Liberia is the most desirable and accessible part of that country, but that colony is now more than forty years old, and its emigrant" population is only seven or eitrht thousand, some ten thousand, in alL, have been taken there, but from twenty to thirty per cent of that number died during the period or acclima tion. To land five million men, women, and children upon this . miasmatic coast, without houses, roads or improved lands would be murder by the million. Ihe origi nal kidnapping and importation of slaves to this country was a very merciful and Chris tian business compared with such an exodus ahis. But if we were wicked enough to embark in such a cruel enterprise we could not accomplish it - Calculate the expense, to say nothing of suffering, of collecting the entire population of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois and taking them to the Atlantic coast; compute the expense of transporta tion for such a nation across the Atlantic, and to these sums add the cost of houses, roads, clearings, stock, and temporary main tenance in that unhealthy climate, and you will have a bill too great for the resources or the country, even it we were not in debt But to gather up and colonize the scattered and unwilling colored population, almost equal in numbers, would be a much greater undertaking. Colonize them in Mexico, then, it is said. The expense might be a few million less, but stiil far beyond the present resources and strained credit of the Government, Other obstacles would intervene. Mexico has eight million five hundred thousand pop ulation now. Where could you thrust five million more in that uninviting land of end' less war? Beside, if this vast population is as undesirable as i represented, they would be nearly as offensive to the people of Mexi co as it is said they ought to be to us, and our unchristian purpose would be defeated by the kindred prejudices of that nation. Colonize them, then, in some of our western Territories ! The expense and injustice .of this undertaking would be considerably less, but it would be just no colonization at all. They would soon be surrounded by our ad vancing millions, and left in the very heart ot the country iroin which you desire to ex pel them. " The whole scheme of colonization is so far beyond the present ability of the Gov ernment, so destructive to the productive interest of tire country, so inhuman and un just toward the people whose unpaid laborhas added so much to the wealth and comfort of the nation, and whose valor and patriotism has helped to sustain it in its late life-struggle, and so impracticable and impossible, even if it was right, that its advocates can scarcely expect to be credited with sense and sincerity at the same time. The thought less may be sincere, but the knowing 'ones can only design to distract the attention of the people from the consideration ot other propositions and necessities. Arid if coloni zation were practicable what would become of the old theory urged by pro-slavery di vines and politicians, who are for the most part the present advocates of colonization, that white men could not labor in the warm latitudes of the South ? Do they propose now, in sending off the only possible labor ers there, according to their theory, to aban don the culture of the South altogether? or do they confess they were only trying to cheat the people into the support of a cruel institution by false logic then, as they are trying to delude them with false theories now? If you mean to try colonization why not begin it at once ? The longer you delay .the more numerous will be these people, and the more determined to stay. Bring in your bill and let us see the details. How many billions of new bonds "must be put upon the niaret, how large an army will be I asked, how many ships will be needed, and uuw many vears win it tate to enect tne ex pulsion? What, in the meanwhile, is the wolrd to do for cotton ? What shall be done with the unwilling and the fugitives ? Will you hunt them with bloodhounds, or procure the services of Buchanan's old marshals? Give us at once your bill of particulars. If colonization is found impracticable, will yon try to re-enslave them ? I suppose not The blacks are now too intelligent too self-reliant, and too spirited to submit again to the oppressor. .It is feared by some that the northern wine of tb cratio rartv will ae-ain vipI.1 it nwir quite free from the old callous, to the yoke of the Southern master ; but the negro never will Besides, the great Republican party, strong in numbers but stronger in its convic tions of right, will always stand between the weak and oppression. I know it is said that party may become powerless by the detection ot the 1'resident. jli is auegea oy the Opposition, and feared even by some ot our friends, that when the grim leaders ot the rebellion shall re-embrace their old party allies, a President placed in power by Re publican trust and iiepublican votes, ior petful of an example that consigned two lVcsidents to private life and public infamy. will be present to celebrate tne reunion ui these pardoned principals in crime with sus pected accessories before the fact. I do not speculate as to what the President may do. ou never know what a singleman, sud denly elevated to power, may do. - .rut not your trust in princes" is a warning that will apply to all men in "power. I nev er could guess the secret motives that in duced Tyler and Fillmore to betray the Whigs. I have often heard that a person who stands on the brink of Niagara, or climbs to the top of a lofty tower, - feels an almost irresistjble impulse to jump off. It may be some such unnatural sensation that prompted these two gentlemen to leap from their nigh eminence into the terrible obscuri ty below. I cannot believe that Mr. John son will follow these unseductive examples. But it he should, he alone will be broken. The tower will stand, but his crippled limbs can never again acend it The ranks of the Kepubhcan army would not even waver. Its contractors and sutlers would fly, to 'be sure ; but without the loss of a man or a gun, it would still stand, the friend of the oppressed and the terror ot the oppressor. V hatever individuals may do, b assured the Republican party will adhere to its principles, and its principles will certainly triumph. The Whig party could hardly be said ever to have been in a settled majority of the people, and it stood yet he betrayal of two of its Presidents,- and only broke down when it surrendered to the slave pow er in the Baltimore convention ot 1S52. I conclude, therefore, that colonization and re-enslavement are both impossible. "Then extermination awaits them," so we are told. The census, however, tells a dif ferent story. These tables show that the black population multiply quite as fast as the white. It is the large additions of the white element from abroad that gives that race an apparent advantage. I know that these people are poor. For long, dark years their industry has gone to swell the over tTOwn estates of their nresent persecutors. But they have been accustomed to a life of deprivation. 1 heir wants are tew; and in a country where labor is high and land and food are cheap they cannot waste away. 1 know it is thought that this rapid increase is due to the mercenary care of the master. The more children he could raise for the market the greater his estate. This i3 true only of a few of the more northern States. Breeding was not encouraged in the plant ing States further south. The overseers task was inconsistent with the duties of ma ternity. The services of the mother were worth more than her offspring. The life of the nlave was graduated by the price of cot ton, and, as a general rule, it would pay to use him up iu seven years. And whatever would pay in that country was practiced. Humanity was no restraint, for making a man into a brute makes the maker brutal During the transition from bondage to free dom, in. the midst of civil war and bitter persecution, their numbers may possibly diminish lor a short time ; but the expecta tion that they will become extinct has no foundation either in the history or charac teristics ot the race. In endeavoring to look fairly at this ques tion, 1 have found no evidence upon which to rest the belief that this race is ever to be colonized, reenslaved, or exterminated. I come back, then, to the question with which I began, what shall be done then? "Let them alone." That is the answer given by a member of the New York Leg islature when it was proposed to send sur geons to vaccinate the Indians who were dy ing of small-pox on the Reserve, "They are a drunken, vagrant, thieving race," ' . . iiT . .1 i mi said ne: iiet tnem alone, ine sooner they are gone the better for the country." "We cannot afford to let them alone," said the member in reply ; "they spread the in fection through the whole surroundingcoun try, and we have only the choice to admin ister relief or suffer and die with them." Neither can we afford to let five millions of population, who are forever to remain in our midst, increasing as we increase, sink down into hopeless ignorance, degradation and vice. If we do, our own race will cer tainly grade down to them. The more we degrade these people the lower we sink ourselves.- The ignorant white people have been made to believe that the elevation of the negro is equivalent to their debasement. The reverse is true. The more we improve this unfortunate race, the higher we raise our own. Human influence is not confined by a sharp embankment of rank or condi tion. It overflows to adjacent ranks, cor rupting or purifying them as it is itself cor rupt or pure. All classes in society are ele vated where there is no degraded class. It is the interest, therefore, of every while man that these people should be educated in morals, skill, industry, and letters. Eve ry dollar expended for this purpose will e concmize losses by unskilled labor, by riots, theft a"d poor rates more than tenfold. I am not now advocating the cause of this race, however meritorious it may be. I do not base the necessity of their improvement upon any claim of their own. It does not at all impair my argument to concede the truth of all the charges preferred against them, even by their most unscrupulous ac cusers. Suppose that their minds are as weak, and their proclivities to vagrancy and vice as strong, as the life-long despoilers of their earnings allege, (admitting at the same time my premises that they cannot be sent abroad, nor reenslaved nor exterminated at home, ) it only makes the necessity founded in self-interest the more imperative upon us in every possible way to encourage their improvement I submit to the House that the cheapest elevator and best moralizer for an oppressed and degraded class is to inspire ihem with self-respect, with belief in tne possibility of their elevation. Bestow the 'elective fran chise upon the colored population of this District and you awaken the hope and am bition of the whole race through jut the country. Hitherto punishment has been the only incentive to sobriety and industry furnished these people by American law They were kept too low to feel disgrace, and reward was inconsistent with the theory ot "service owed. " Let us try now the pur suasive power of wages and protection. If colored suffrage is still considered an exper iment, this District is a good place in which to try it. The same objections do not exist here that are urged on behalf of; some of me oiaics. xv cuusiuuuuuu ijunuvu in tervenes. Here, at least Congress is su preme. The law can be passed, and if it is found to be bad a majority can repeal it. The colored race is too small in numbers here to endanger the supremacy of the white people, but large and loyal enough to counteract to some extent disloyal proclivi ties, - V hy, then, should they not vote ? Because, say the opposition, that is ne gro equality! Equality in what? In mind, stature, morals, or wealth? If these much coveted qualities.can-be so easily bestowed, is any man mean enough to withhold them ? The objection is contradictory. First, he. shall not vote because he is the white man's inferior ; and second, because he will make him an equal. Do- you mean by equality, personal friendship and social intercourse ? Why, sir, if "there is anything free in this country, or any country, it is the right of each man to select his own associates. Com- Fanionship is free now, and will be then, t is your constitutional right to associate with men of color now, if. you are so inclin ed, while you are not forced to associate with nor even speak to a white voter now, nor will you be with a black voter in the fu ture. On the other hand, it is the consti tutional right of the colored man to shun you how, and his right would neither be en larged nor diminished by his enfranchise ment The equality "so much dreaded and so fiercely denounced, must mean, if it means anything, that a colored man s vote will count one toward the election ot mayor and councils for Washington city, and a white man's vote will count one also, and no more. That is all. And why should they not be so counted? What do the may or and councils have to do that none but the aristocracy can judge of their fitness? Simply to mend the roads, look after the poor, and take care ot the schools, i Cer tainly these are subjects of deep interest to men of color as well as white men, and not above the capacity of the lowest Colored men do the work on the streets ; they ought to understand what repairs are needed as well as how to make them. lousay they are poor they ought to know the poor man's wants. You say they are ignorant- then give them a chance to vote against a mayor who loads them with school tax and deprives them of schools. In this District no vote is cost for President, 'member of Congress, judge ot the courts, nor any oni cer except the administrators of local affairs, in which all citizens, however ignorant in national matters, arc necessarily well in formed. This action is not altogether an experiment. In Boston the colored people vote, and in the best-governed city in the United States. But it is to be considered an experiment altogether, then, as I said before, there is no better place in the whole country in which to try it than the District of Columbia. Again, it is said it will lead to amalgama tion. This cry has been too often raised to alarm even the most ignorant. When the Democratic party endeavored ' to establish slavery in the territoiy acquired from Mexi co, the arguments in opposition were met by the cry ot amalgamation. Negro equality was their covering cry, during their long struggle, through fraud and violence to force sla very on the unwilling people of Kan sas. '-When slavery was abolished in the District of Columbia, "Amalgamation and negro equality" was bellowed by that party all oyer the land. - AVhen the great and good President issued his proclamation of eman cipation, they again screamed "Amalgama tion and negro equality ;" and the cry came still again in terrible shrieks when slavery was forever prohibited by amendment of the Constitution. ihisis a standing argu ment with the opposition, and is brought out on all occasions when any legislation is proposed touching the interest of the color ed population. Even on so trifling an occa sion as the passage of a law at the last ses sion allowing these peopie to ride in the street cirs in this city, a cry of horror was sent over the country, that I thought would startle the whole Anglo-saxon race to its feet in defense of its blood, but I soon saw that nobody was scared, and we all now see that nobody was hurt Let our sensitive friends compose their nerves and try to tell us how a little enlargement of the elective franchise, over small and purely local mat ters in this District, will result in marriago between the two races. It is a fright that makes you mistake a ballot for a billet-doux. It cannot be possible that any man of com mon sense can bring himself to believe that marriages between any persons, much less between white and colored people, will rake place because a colored man is allowed to drop a little bit of paper in a box, thereby intimating who he considers the fittest per son to be mayor of this city. It is too tri fling for argument - , We are again told that their average abili ty is below that of the white race. How do you know that? The colored man has nev er exhibited equal ability, to be sure, but he has never had equal opportunities. The forbidding statutes of the South attest the capacities of the negro. If they really be lieved his mind was so feeble, why bind it with such heavy chains ? If it was incapa ble of learning, why prohibit it with the penitentiary? : Their theories . proved he was weak, but their legislation acknowledg ed he was strong. Thev debased him bv law to fit him for slavery, and justified sla very because he was debased, oo in this District the withholding opportunities of improvements is justified on the in-nnnd nf Uiis inferiority, and his inferiority is shown Dy tne lacs ot improvement. Ifut suppose the white race is superior, does it follow that the inferior race should be denr-i! nf any authoritative mode of making its wants known to the Government? Lfmind is to be made the test of suffrage, a great many noisy declaimera against the negro will lose their votes. As a general rule the men least fitted to vote are the warmest advocates nf exclusion. They apprehend, with much reason, that they may be distanced in the race if the black man is not forced to cairy weight . Such men should beware how they advocate a theory, that would jeopard ize their own votes if made universal. But it is further said that whatever their pa na- city,they are at least uneducated now. That would he but a short-lived objection if true and not solely applicable to people of color. But it is not true of the largest portion , of the colored people in this District. Nearly all of them can read, and the scholarship of many is of a very high order. The whole objection is easily obviated by an education al qualification. - Another objection, verv much rcMoA n- on, is that a majority of the white popula tion here aie opposed to it - A prominent man charged with a high crime iu Pennsyl vania alleged . that the hostility, and preju dice and the people in the couuty where he was indicted would deprive him of a fair trial, 'and asked the Legislature to grant him a change of venue. The people ot that county remonstrated, and submitted to the Legislature that they were the fittest persons to try him, because they knetc he teas guilty. If the people here were generally consenting to this enlargement of the fran chise its necessity would be less apparent It is because the negro is hated in this city, and justice denied him by prejudiced offi cials, that his vote is ne cessary tor his own protection. Every vote against him at this pretended election was an argument in his favor. I know that the prejudices, errone ous sentiments, and even vices of the peo ple should be somewhat regarded in legisla tion, and that vested wrongs supposed to be vested rights should -be - divested very slowly. But what less can we do in this di rection than is proposed to be done by this bill, namely, to bestow the elective fran chise upon a handful of men, who, as a body, are intelligent, sober, peaceable, and indus trious, and in a District where only local officers are chosen, and over which our right to legislate cannot be questioned. It must be opposed, not upon the ground that it is going too fast or granting too much at first, but uponhe ground that, in that di rection no step should be taken nothing granted now, nor forever ; that this is ex clusively a white man s Government and the colored man is his slave. This is a reb el heresy entirely exploded by the war. We are coming back to the doctrine of our fath ers. In the Continental Congress they as serted that "all men are created free and equal." They subsequently made the Con stitution to accord with this sentiment, and forty years, as long as they lived to adminisJ ter it, negroes were allowed to vote in all the old States except perhaps, South Caro lina. Both the precept and practice of our fathers refute the allegation that this is ex clusively a white Oman's Government. If we cannot now consent to so slight a recog nition, as proposed by this bill, of the great underlying theory.of our Government, as declared and practiced by our lathers, we are thrown back upon that new and mon strous doctrine that the five millions of our colored population and their posterity forev er have no rights that a white man is bound to respect. . ' Who pronounces this crushing sentence? The political South ; and what is this South? The southern master and his northern min ion. Have these people wronged the South? Have they filled it with violence, outrage, and murder? No, sir, they are remarkably gentle, patient, and respectful. Have they despoiled its wealth or diminished its gran deur? No, sir, their unpaid toil has made the material South. They removed the forests, cleared the fields, built the dwellings, churches, colleges, cities, highways, rail roads, and canals. Why, then, does the South hate and persecute " these people ? Because it has wronged them. .Injustice always hates its victim. . They arc forced to look to the North for justice. And what is the North ? Not the latitude of frosts ; not New England and the States that border on the lakes, the Mississippi, and the Pacific. The geographical is lost in the political meaning of the word. The North, in a po litical senso, means justice," liberty and u nion,and in the order in which I name them, Jefferson defined this "North" when he wrote "all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inaiienable rights, among which are life, liberty,, and pursuit of happiness.'' This North has no geographical boundaries. It embraces the friends of freedom in every quarter of this great Republic. Many of its bravest cham- iions, like our still unstolen, Republican 'resident, hail.s from the geographical South. The North, that did not fear the slave pow er in its prime, in the day of its political strength and patronage, when it comman ded alike the nation and the mob, and for the same cruel purpose, will not be intimi dated by its expiring maledictions around this capital. The North must pass this bill, to vindicate its sincerity and its eour age. The slave power has already learned that the North is terrible in war and forgiv ing and gemle in peace; let its crushed and mangled victims learn from the passage of this bill, that the justice of the North, un limited by lines of latitude, unlimited by color or race, slumbercth not Id Memory of the Fallen School Teaohers.
