In proof of this ere need only in form our readers that the House of Representatives in Connecticut, by a vote of one hundred sod twelve :o nine ty-four, has passed a bill to amend the Constitution of that State so as to al low negroes to vote. Every Black Re publican voted for it and every Demo crat against it. An amendment was proposed by the same committee so that it should be required by the State Constitution, that foreigners should re main in the State twenty-one years be fore being allowed to vote. Under the operation of such a law, the most filthy, ragged, or ignorant fugitive slave, will be allowed to vote at once, while the foreigner, no odds how intelligent, must wait his twenty-one years. The white foreigner is disfranchised while the ne gro is caressed and allewed to become a citizen at once. The same thing has been done in Massachuiletts and other New England States. A similar amend ment has been proposed to the Consti tution of Ohio. It is useless for Black Republican prints to dcny this as being one ofthe fundamental doctrines of their party. It is in fact the only principle upon which they are united, and which holds them together as a party. "141.11" lad " Empty." It was quite common to hear from the leaders of the Opposition during the last campaign, denunciations loud and deep, of the plethoric condition of the Treasury. To quote the language of their stump orators, "of that policy which enrie,hed the government and impoverished the people." The evils resulting from a large surplus in the Treasury were pointed out, and wore dwelt upon pertinaciously and eloquent- 1 ly. The manufacturing, commercial I and agricultural interests of the coun try, they said, were injured and crip pled by the withdrawal of so large an amount of the circulating medium from the ordinary channels of business. In a word, remarks the York Democratic Press, incalealable good was to result from the depletion of the Treasury, and a distribution of the money among the people. Since that period the Treasury; has indeed been depleted.— Every dollar "buried" in the vaults of the Sub-Treasury, has passed out, and is now circulating through the ordinary channels of business and trade, or "buried" in the vaults of State banks.— Almost every dollar of' it is in the coun try, for in the last half year we have imported little or nothing. Our oppo nente, instead of pointing out the bone s ;to that have flowed from the acquiPi- tion of so much more money by the people, bavo changed their tactics and are now engaged in bewailing the evils of an empty Treasury, and are arguing in favor of a Tariff that will replenish it.. In one short year our opponents have entirely changed around. A year ago a full Treasury was the greatest injury to the best interests of the coun try, but now it is an empty Treasury that is working untold misfortunes.— The busy hum of industry is to be hushed, and the gaunt forms of want and starvation are to stalk through the land. The people will be very apt to suspect our opponents of possessing a sot of stereotyped denunciatory phrases against the Administration and the Democratic party, the only difference being the insertion of the words "full" or "empty!" John K. Besd—His Position Defined.. In commending the nomination of JOHN 31. READ, the Germantown Tele graph says that "the views on public questions he now holds have always been entertained by him; and if his party has in any measure gone astray, or run after strange gods, his , faith has remained unshaken and his fidelity un questioned." As the editor of the Tel egraph was an original RSA]) man, we presume he speaks by the book. Be fore Mr. READ strayed into the Repub lican camp he was a Democrat, holding fast to all the doctrines of the Demo cratic party. Upon the single question of the best manner of dealing with slavery in the Territories, be differed; and for that cause alone formed his present political connection. Wherein Republicanism differed from Democracy be became a 'Republican, but in all points whams the Democratic creed dif ferred from its other opponents he ad tiered to that creed. This is the only conclusion that can be drawn from the Tekgraph's exposition of Mr. READ'S position, and we believe it to be a correct one. On the tariff, all the ques tions which formerly divided the Dem ocratic from the Whig party, he bolds fast to the opinions that have "always been entertained by him "—that is, to Democratic opinions. This accounts for the exceedingly mild tariff resolu tions passed by the convention that nominated Mr. .ftx.tn. It doubtless ex cluded the ides of protection for the sake of protectioa,so as to acoommodate Mr. Byrn with a platform upon which be could stand without sacrificing any of the opinions that -have "always been entertained by him."

Nor are we ears that It! should do so, oven if it were practise- We. •We 'aspect that In times past the interests of the country may have saf fered from mixing up the question of Protection with party politics ; and the 1 Southern Free Trade party may have carried the day when they could not have done so bat for such mixture.— But, however that may be, it seems to es that, as a national party, the Repub. lkiana cannot take ground either in, fe. vor of Protection or against it. In the States, and in Congressional Districts, ' on the other hand, they may act on the subject as the majority of the party I may gnd to be advisable. Thus in Maine we-see that the Republican 'State - Oonvention has jest adopted among its resolutions ono looking toward Protec tion. In Philadelphia, the other day, a Protectionist meeting was held, in which many leading Republicans took part. On the other hand, among the resolutions of the recent Conventien of the Free Democracy of St. Louis was ono decidedly in favor of Free Trade ; I and we may yet sec.prominent Republi cans taking part in Free-Trade meet ings, and we may see State Conventions , declaring themselves on that side.— Among the Republican journals, too, there is and has been the same dis- I crepancy on this question, but it, has never yet interfered with their hearty co-operation with each other as regards the great of of the party. To be sure, we have sometimes complained of, the tone with which our Free-Trade friends in the Republican ranks have ! spoken of the ideas we have now and then thought proper to present; but' after all it was only a question of man ners. Perfect tolerance and freedom of I discussion and opinion are all that are necessary. For our part, as Protec tionista. we are willing to trust to these and to the logic of events. Nor do we despair of seeing a Congress elected in which even Democratic members shall be brought by these potent advocates of the troth to support substantially what we regard as the proper system. —.New York Tribune, July 19th, 1858. We admire, with oar . cotemporary of the Bedford Gazette, the bare-faced atrocity of the above extract. The ar ticle from which it, is taken, commences with the prognostication, that "it is impossible not to foresee that the ques tion of Protection to American Industry Is to play an impokant part In our poli tics for some time to coma." Mr. Gree ly favors what ho calls a "proper ays tent" of Protection; one " which Oven Demoenttic members shall be brought to support;" one which we may there fore fairly infer would be spit upon by the high tariff-ites of Pennsylvania.— But New York has more interest in commerce than in manufactures, more interest in importations from Munches ter and Sheffield than in transportations from Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and Mr. Greely and the, Sow York Rotib- Hoene can afford to bo liberal. It was the intention of the above extract to evince a liberal spirit; but it goes be yond, and becomes profligate. In States and even in exceptional Congressional districts, where, owing to the presence of large manufacturing interests, a high tarirwill be popular, the Republicans are advised to make it a plank in their local platform ; but in other'States, and congressional districts, where a high tariff will be nnpopular,—and here Mr. Greely had all the western States in his eye, but did not choose to mention them—in such States Republicans must not be expected to favor Protection.— And what would be the result if a cam paign thus planned should prove sue. cessful ? What would be the action of Black Republican Congress thus con stituted ? And even if the "proper system " of Mr. Greely, " which even Democratic members shall be brought to support," should be adopted by Con gress, with the aid of Democratic votes, where is the asstirance that it will not be vetoed by a Black Republican Free Trade President, if God in his wisdom, should inflict so great an„evil upon ns ? But we shall, doubtless, be spared the trial. With New England in the lobby with bribes for "free iron," with New York's preponderating interests in favor of foreign importations, with the Great West in favor of free trade, and with the thousand millions of Rail-road capi tal all over the country, what, we ask the Iron Manufacturers of Pennsylva nia, have we to expect from a protec tive tariff in . the future leaving out of view the whole South, whose interests are in favor of free trade. If the man nfacturers and artisans of Pennsylvania will study their real condition and re lations, they cannot fail to discover that their dire misfortunes always proceed oat of the derangements of the curren cy and the evils of the credit system, and that their real protective system is to be found in a currency whose nomi nal and intrinsic value, (either directly or representatively) are the same.

There was nothing in common among this band of fanatics, save hatred to , Democratic principles and men, and an eager longing for the spoils which fall to I the lot of the victors after the engage ment. If the convention was composed of ; strange material, its nominees are justly liable to the same appellation. Jong: M. BEAD and WILLIAM M. FRAZER, hoth Democrats until ambition turned their) heads and lured them from the path of honest conviction, are the nominees of this Mulatto Convention. Is there not) something strange in this? Where were the oia Line Whigs and original Abolitionists, that they did not elaim a representative on this ticket? Have they sunk into the dust at the feet of their masters, and rest content to do I their bidding without even a show of recognition? It would seem so from the proceedings of the ,Mulatto Conven tion. These men have fallen to the level of their associates, and now look only to success, disregarding altogether the welfare of the State, the peace and sta bility of the Confederation. Bat strangest of all are the Resolu tions passed by the Convention as the platform upon which the Mulatto allies are to stand during the State canvass.— They fitly represent the mongrel' char neter of the convention, and are curios ities of a rich and rare description.— They proclaim "that the Federal Con stitution, the sovereign rights and Uni on of the States, must and shalt be pre served," while they are in full anison with the views of Ginnirros and Biala, and other notorious Abolitionists, who openly proclaim a war upon one sec tion of the Union, and express a will ingness to let tho Union slide, unless they are allowed to mould the policy of the 'National Governitient :o suit their interested purposes; • they protest a gainst the Kansas .policy of the Nation al Administration as subversive of the principles of our government, while ad vocating the right of Congress to force upon the people of a Territory a gov ernment irrespective of tbeir consent; they protest against the reckless and profligate extravagance of the National Adininistration in the face of offloial figures, whiehprove the entire falsity of the charge; and in this mannet - do they make up the issues which are to be forced into the coming campaign.— Every charge is groundless, and the people are intelligent enough to see through the deception intended, and .punish those who hope to profit by it. The resolution on the subject of a tariff is so peculiar, that we present it entire, in order that all may see the reckless character of the men who con trolled this Convention. It roads thus: 6. That the revenue necessary for &judicious and economical adminiatmtioa of the govern ment, should be raised by the imposition of duties upon foreign imports,and inlaying them such discriminating protection should be given as will secure the rights of tree labor and American industry. In this resolution there is a total abandonment of the old dogma of " pro tection for the sake of protection," which is a standing text with the Mu latto orators when speaking in this State. Coal is not mentioned. Iron is repudiated. The great Pennsylvania staples are thrown overboard, and the resolution speaks of raising "revenue" by the imposition of duties. This, ta ken in its plain meaning, is a full sur render to the Democratic doctrine on the subject of a tariff, and proves that all the protection talk of the Mulatto presses and orators has been insincere and deceptive. But what is meant by the latter clause of this resolution, "the rights of free labor?" Is a tariff to be framed upon a sectional basis ? Are the products of the North to he shield ed by a duty, while those of the South are not? Are Massachusetts and Ver mont, New York and Pennsylvania, to come within the circle of this free labor arrangement, while Virginia and South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida are to be excluded ? There is a bug under this leaf. Somebody is to be cheated. Shall it be this State? It is for the people to say. The bait offered to the Americans is the following : 10. That we approve of the enactment of proper laws to protect us from the introduction of foreign criminals in oar midst, by returning them at once to places from whence they have been shipped to our shores. This is not much for a party that has carried upon its banners the proud and defiant motto, "Americans shall rule America," but we suppose it was con sidered sufficient by the leaders of that party. The whole Convention was one un mitigated farce, and its candidates will be repudiated by the Union loving De mocracy of Pennsylvania, as an insult upon the fair fame and credit of the old Commonwealth. • Twins at Eightylour.—A subscriber living near Lebanon, Tenn., informs the Russellville, By., Herald, that a negro woman, living in his neighbor. hood, who is eightyfour years of age, recently gave birth to two children.— The mother and cbildren are doing Iran.

To which the Enquirer crushingly replies—thus : "That figures can be made :o lie abominably is conclusively proved by the above statement, which is intended to convey the impression that the ex penses of the Government for the year ending Ist July, 1858, were $101,000,- 000, although it is not so unequivocally stated. " From the balance in the Treasury of 817,000,000 lust July, deduct in round numbers $4,000,000, which was paid on the national debt; also deduct over $11,000,000 to pay deficiencies in debts for 1857, contracted by the last Con gress, which was Republican in that branch which has especial charge of the revenue service, and which it had failed to supply means to pay. We must also deduct the $20,000,000 loan, not a dol lar of which went to defray the expen ses of the year ending July Ist , 1858. It is all for the couung year. Of the Treasury notoa say $10,000,000 are now on hand, not over $10,000,000 having been applied on last year's expenditures. These various deductions amount to $45,000,000, leaving the actual expendi tures of Mr. Buchsnau' administration only $58,000,050 for the year 1858, being several millions of dollars less than the expense" of the last year of General Pierre's administration. Every dollar of the fifty-six' millions were authorized and declared 'right by the Republican House of Representatives which elected Banks Speaker." Know Nothing and Black Republican Opposition have a desperate case to bolster up. Immediately upon the adjourmaxenl of Congress, they started a loud a hue and cry " in regard to the appropriations, fixing them at the enormous figure of $100,000,000. Soon, however, the calculation was spoiled by the, publication of the true figures, being little more than half that man I Now, they are trying another tack.

The Union of the Opposition. From present indications, id would seem, says the Somerset Democrat, that the Opposition to the Democracy in this State are not so likely to combine all the elements of their strength in the ensuing campaign. In many quarters, the greatest disaffection exists, and it is not at all unlikely that their attempt ed combination will prove an utter failure, followed np by a defeat as in glorious as their proposed " union " is unprincipled. In Allegheny county the spirit of op position discord is spreading rapidly, and promises at this early day the very best result to the Democracy. In Blair and Huntingdon counties, in our own Congressional district, a like insubordi• nation exists in the - ranks of the ene my, which promises us good results.— So is it in other sections, and so will it continuo to be until the great battle is fought in October. From the incipien ey of this Opposition movement have we believed it would prove a miserable abortion, and every subsequent duy'a observation has but tended to confirm us in this belief. It is not the thing for the times, and cannot be successfully carried out. The Democracy of the old Keystone is invincible when united, an united it will be when it again measures swords with the common enemy. No disagreement upon a single question of governmental policy will make the heterodox doctrines of our mongrel en emies orthodox with Demoorata. They will not turn tboir backs upon one another, because of a differenee of opin ion on a question now settled, and thus giro " aid and comfort " to their worst foes. No, indeed.
