Tait Dispatch, Gazette, aril a coriespon
dent of the Buffalo Ezpress have got up a
triangular port of discussion over the
qualification of Wm. A. Galbraith, DI.,
to be the -Union," or, to use the proper
term, Lepublican candidatefor Governor.
Cinsidering that Mr Galbraith bin firm
and consistent Democrat, who has never
faltered in his advocacy of, constitutional
Union doctrines, and that he is not a
candidate for the support of the Repub
lican party .for Gubernatorial honors, the
allusions of our cotemporaries on that
bead are somewhat out of place, if not a
little impertinent.
We are not surprised at anything that
appears in the Frpress, either editorially
or in the irresponsible shape of a contniu
nication, but we must confetti to tome
aitoniehmi nt it the art'cles in the Dispatch
and Gazela. That in the last named pa
per is sl full of unjust aspersions/it—leer
rect statements and calumnious charges,
that it is hardly credible it could have
been prompted by the gentleman who
has editorial control of itioblumns. We
think it ranch more likely to have been
the emanation of some personal enfluy of
Mr. Galbraith, who, to gratify private
spleen, has succeeded in imposing upon
our cotemporsry the resronsibility of
publishing statements which . he Vas not
the courage to =print over his own signa
ture.
In simple justice to Mr. Chilbrnith, it is
no more than right that we should sity
that he is not now and never bas been a
voluntary candidate for any position, and
that he much prefers remaining a private
citizen to tha beat office in the nation.
His friends - iive suggested him as the
next Democratic candidate for Governor,
but we lire insured from what we know of
his character that if the position should•
be tendered him it would be wholly with
out effort on his part, and even against
his inclination. He is not an office-seeker
in any sense of the word, the best evi
dence of which is the knowledge that in
a county and district uriformly giving an
opposition majority, he has remained
faithful to the principles of the Demo
cratic party—a fact that should convince
his bitterest political foes that whatever
other faults he may possess, he is not
lacking in courage and integrity.
Teosz deluded Republicans, who are
oppo4d to negro suffrage, and who vainly
imagine they can continue their connec
tion with the party without being oom
pelted to endorse the right of the blacks
to use the ballot, will discover their mis
take before many days. They are oon
gratulating themselves just new over the
defeat of the suffrage plink by the late
Ohio State Republican Convention, but if
what the Tribune remarks on the subject
be true, their elation is premature.- Says
that paper:
Those #iends of universal suffrage who
hoped for an emphatic expression by the
Republican State Convention of Ohio,
have no occasbn for discouragement is
the record of its action. The question, we
are assured, will be canvassed in every
school district of the State from tbii time
until election day ; the Democracy having
ranged themselves against it as RepuLli
cant Rave taken ground for it.
Gen. Jacob Dolaon Cox the Republican
candidate for Governor, was originally a
Liberty party man, but has been an
active member of the Republican party
ever since its organization, and is at this
moment an ardent advocate of negro serve I
fact well knout to the Ohio Convention,
and, it may be added for the benefit of
one or two New York news; aper , , that
Gen. Cox has been for- miny years end is
now the warm personal and political
friend of Chief Justice Chase. And it may
further be added. for the benefit of the
same newspapers, that Oj'o Republicans
"do not see' that spit" in the Repub
lican ranks for which they so ardently
pray and so cheaply labor, but will pro
ceed to finish the good work they have so
long been engatcd in—that of saving the
country from the toils of pro-slavery fa"
natics of every grade, and of rendering
justice to that loyal class of Southerners
who aaved our country in the hour of its
'sorest need.
The Tribunes assertion that the Demo
crate have arrayed themselves against
negro voting, and the Republicans in
favor of it, is literally true in regard to
the former, but only partially so in res-
pect to the latter. We are aware (hit
hosts of honest members of the opposi
tion, even in this strong Abolition section,
do no. at present agree to the new creed
which radicaliim proposes to engraft• into
the party platform. Only the other day,
in conversation with a leading and intelli
gent Republican, the editor of an influen
tial paper in an adjoining county, he re
ferred in terms of the utmost indignation
to the negro suffrage question, and de
clared that let the result be what it may
he would never support, it. This gentle
man has resided some time in the South,
and like all who are familiar with the
negro_character in that region, be looks
upon the idea of entrusting the black race
with a share in the Administration of gov
ernment as equally impertinent and ab.
surd. He is but a sample of a large class
of Republicans; but the
. larger portion,
and especially the tricky leaders, accept
of the suffrage idea with ardor: not be
cause theY care an iota for themegro, but
simply because they imagine he will be
of political service to them hereafter.
What the course of the conservatives will
be remains to beissy.m. but they will evens,
tuslly find onk l of three plans only left
open to them—either to retain their pres
ent political connection, vote and act with
the radicals and unwillingly submit to
have negro suffrage crammed down their
tliroits ; organize a new party ; or join
.nds with the Damocrats, who believe
in leaving this whole question, where it is
loft by the Constitution, into the hands of
the people of the respective States.
Tin WAS ESIDiD TOO SOON.—The Essex
(Mass.) &afesnuts is not outside the truth
when it says : "TLe fact is this 'sr bee ended
too ouoO fur the purpose of our radical friends.
Those who thank God for all our defeat.
beosuse out of them could be extorted a mill.
wry necessity to override all laws end eons&
tutions, regret that now they Bare no such
potent weapon to thrust Into the bosom of
society."
It ►.taa long by en predicted by the oppo
nerats of emv;ncipstion schemes, that the
radden ev.sfranchisement of the negro
would raise questions as to their future
conditl.on as important Ninny which have
heretofore divided publics:opinion. What
shall be done with the negro? What shall
be his position politically and socially?,
are now great and important questions.
In this, as in other instances, it seems
that tbeerror
. is about to be committed
of ignoring the vpinions. and even the ex
istence of those who, from long'familiarity
with the negro, are beat qualified to judge
of big capabilities in the new arena opened
to his efforts, and at the same time will
be most affected by the course to be pur
sued towards him."
It may he well to keep before us certain
indisputable facts, and see if so doing will
not aid in the solution of the difficulty.
1. In the States that in 1860.61 seceded
from the Federal Union there are now pro
bably not one thousand persons in armed
hostility to the Federal authorities.
2 There are but few, and these st-adily
decreasing, who do not believe quiet sub
mission to the Federal authority best, and
whn do not in good faith in tend to assist
by their teachings and example in rector
ing law and order to their respective
Ste tea.
3. The negroes are now universally re
cognized as fret; by virtue df military op•
erationa, E;ecutive proclamations, and
so-called legislative enactments. Whether
rightfullY emancipated or not, they are
free. No one in the. South expects to
restore slavery ; few wish to do so. All
are looking forward to the speedy adop-
tion of some industrial system which will
relieve the public from the burden of the
support of the idle, the young and the
infirm, and at the same time enable the
able•bodied negroes to labor for the sap-
port of themselves and their families.
Whatever is just to Southern farmers and
just to the negro will be speedily accepted
and acted upon.
Nor are the Southern people decidedly
averse to Northern emigration. They
might not treat with much consideration
the Northerner who acquired Southern
lands by the doubtful methods of confis
cation and tax sales, and came among
them relying on governmental privileges
denied to his neighbors, but to the bona
. fide emigrant, who came bringing capital
and Northern enterprise and industry, it
is believed a cordial welcome would be
extended.
It cannot be long before the negro *lll
again assume Mr position as the laborer
of the South, under new laws and regula
tions, and with the encouragement given
to free white labor, the fertile lands of the
South, producing in ptofugon the neces
saries of the world, will be in the future
as in the past, , a some. , el wealth to the
nation. In the meantime, nanny of the .
landholders, seeing painful changes
around them on every side are desiring to
seek new homes in other localities, where
new associations .And new aims in life will
sooner obliterate the remembrance of
tleir misfortunes.
The more Qpepetily Northern emigrants
begin to assist in the work of reorganiza
tion, and the sooner they and the Gov
ernment, accepting the assistance of the
Southern people themselves, re create
Southern industry and reorganize South
ern labor, the better for the financial and
Agri - cultural prosperity of the whole coun
try.
Temper of the loath.
We are now in. receipt of exchange
newspapers, the World says, from all the
principal Southern cities There are not
so many of them as before the war;nor
are they edited with the same ability and
spirit ; yet we are sure that if they could
be reed universally at the North. the
hearth of our people would be softened
towards the people of the South. They
accept the entire situation in actual good
faith ; and there -is every evidence that,
the mass of the Southern population want
to live in peace and quietness hereafter.
Meetings are being-held in all the larger
counties
,expressing an entire willingness
to submit. to the Union and praying for a
restoration of the-civil power. The pnly
trouble or discontent seems to be on the
sea-coast, where the War Department sa
traps are making all manner of trouble
by interfering with trade and the so
cial relations of the people. A General
in Savannah regulates the market price
of produce by proclamation, and in
Charleston the officer in command issues
an ukase ordering the black and white
children to attend the' same schools. Of
courss, these stupidities create a vexation
which is not expressed in the local press ;
but in the interior, at Augusta, Macon,
Montgomery, &0., the people of theirown
accord are loyally and sensibly going to
work to repair the ravages of war, and re
assume their relations as citizens of the
United States.

Tux split .q theOllepublica.n party bas
made too mach progress to be arrested.
President Johnson has taken his ground
against negro suffrage, and will not recede.
Several of the most eminent ; Republican
leaders, with a majority of the party to
back them, have taken their stand against
negro suffrage, and they will not - recede.
Chief Justice Chase, Senators Sherman,
Wilson, Sumner, and others of equal in
fluence and d;stinction, are ardent.negro
suffrage men, in declared opposition to
the policy of the President; and the first
Republican State Convention held sin C e.
Mr. Johnson's avowal of his policy on
this subject (that of lowa, on the 14th
inst.) adopted a negro suffrage resolve as
a plank in their platform. The State con
ventions held preparatory to the fall elec
tions will develop the fact that the cur
rent of Republican feeling runs decidedly
in that channel. -
If the negr; suffrage men of New Eng.
land, says the World: inim on the princi
ple of equality to all, let them acceptrits
logical consequence! If every man in the
United States, black or white, is to be
made the political equal of every other
man, "according to the Declaration of
Independence," then -it must no longer
take six New Yorkers to count as much
in the senate, an I in amending the Con
stitution, as one Yankee If the Deell -
ration of Independence makes the black
man the political equal of the 'white, it
should also make white men in the differ•
ent States equal to each other.

The Negro Suffrage Question.
Opinions of Prominent Men.
GEN. BUICRWAN
Adverting to the negroes, wha had been
made free, he said that the Government
would require to institute some system of
labor, in order that the lands of the South
might be cultivated. He wanted ;boss
who had been in the South to bear testi
mony-to the condition of these freed ne
groes. His own personal opinion was, that
they were not fitted for the &cereiu of the fran
chise. He wanted them to get a fair price
for their labor—to own and - cultivate the
lands ; but he did not think they wire
fitted to take part in the legislation of the
cou n t r y _sherman's Speech at Chicago.

In the discussion before the people of
Illinois just previous to his last election
to the U. S. Senate, Judge Douglas said :
" I hold that a negro is not, and never I
ought to be a citizen of the United States.
I hold that this government was made
upon a white basis by white men for the
benefit of white men and their posterity
forever, ard should be administered by
white men and none others. I do not
believe that \ the Almighty made the negro
capable of self-government
• "Now I say to you, my fellow-citizens,
that in my opinion, the signers of the
DeclaratiOn of Independence had no ref
erence to the negro whatever when they
declared all men created equal. They
desired to express by that phrase, white
men of European hit th, European descent,
and bad no reference to the negro, the
savage Indians or other inferior or de
graded nee'. At that time every one of
the thirteen Colonies was a slave-holding
colony, and every signer of the Declara
tion represented a slave-holding constitu
ency, and we-know Mat no one of them
emancipated his slaves, much leas offered
citizenship to them when they signed the
Declaration."
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
In hie discussion with Judge Douglas
before the people nf Illinois, Abraham
Lincoln said :
" My opinion is that the different States
have the power to make a negro a citizen
under the Constitution of the United
States, if they. chnove. The Dred Scott
decision decides that they have not that
pow r. If the State of Illinois had that
power, I should be opposed to the exercise of it "
And again
" Judge Douglas hag-said to you that he
has not been able to get from me an
answer to the question whethei I am in I
favor of negro citizenship So far as
know, the Judge never asked me that
question before. He shall have no occa
sion to ever ask it again for I • tell him
very frankly that I am not in layer of negro
citizenship."
GENERAL NEWS.
At a trial of fire apparatus. on Tuesday

Brooklyn were invited to be present.
Consequently a large crowd was in attend.

Scarcely bad the machines been put in
working order when a tumult arose, which
became so formidable in its proportions
that ail idea of a further trial was aban
doned. It appears by the New York
papers that an engineer from Brooklyn
offered a bet ..f forty dollars to a mernte r
of the Asa)! iv. Company, each having been
discussing the merits of an engine, when
they quarreled over the te-ms of the bet,
the Astoria man first striking- the Brook
lyn man. Their partisans then took up
the quarrel, and in a few remelts the
fight became general. As soon as the re
port of fire arms was beard, the business
men of the town closed their stores, and
in a few minutes afterwards the wildest
disorder prevailed. The report of pistols,
the clashing of bowie-knives, the screams
and curses of the combatants, the terrified
shrieking of women and children among
whom fell showers of stones, rendered the
scene one of intense horror. The house
tops were crowded with men, while the
women and children sought refuge in cel
lars. This state of things lasted Rome'two
hours, when the rain comn3erlef.4 to fall
in torrents, and seemed to cool the pas
sions of the infuriated rioters. and they
quieted down and collected tte•ir wound:
ed and disabled friends It is impossible
to state the number of those injured, but
it is estimated at fifty or sixty. A lady,
whose name was not ascertained received
a bullet wound in the breast; several
citizens and children were wounded by
stray shots, but the lighters themselves
suffered the most severe injuries.
A correspondent of the St. Louis-Rep-lib
/lean thus alludes to the only Southern
State that has not tuffered by the rebel
lion:
" Your correspondent has just had s
most interesting conversation with a gen
tleman direct from Marshall, Texas, and
who has seen the " Lone Star State"
throuA all its vicissitudes since the com
mencement of the rebellion. He informs
we that that State has never so prospered
as during the past three years, that its
population has more then trebled in-that
time; its almost illimitable expanse of
rich and prolific land has been brought
under the hand of the tiller of the soil to
an extraordinary extent, and that miles
and miles of those rich rolling ' bog-wal
low " prairies are annually whitening
with King Cotton or teeming with corn,
bay and oats, where but a few years ago,
the eye of the traveler wearied with the
wild and profuse waste of nature's uu

Capt. William Davenport was born at Fair
Haven, Conn , on the 28th of November, 1796,
and is a direct descendant of 'that celebrated
and highly distinguiehed divine, the Key.
John Davenport, who, associated with his
friend, Th. ophilos Eaton, (subsequently Gov
ernor,) founded New Haven in 1638. When
tt Ind of but twelve summers, Capt D t ook a
fancy for a sea faring life, but his parents
dissented and opposed his attempt at buffet
dog the sea and the world at that tender age.
However, he, in company with his older and
only brother, John, accomplished their wish
by running away. They followed the, sea,
meetly in the West India trade, until the war
With Great Britain lu 1812, when they were
captured on their homeward—bound passage.
John, from hard usage, died in prison ; Wil.
liam survived and was exchanged. Aa soon
as free, although but in his seventeenth year,
he mitered the navy, was drafted for the lakes
and served with Commodore Chauncey on
board the sloop of-war Madison and other
vessels on Lake Ontario. After the close of
the war, he again went to sea far a short
time, but subsequently settled In Tioga coun—

friend, Theophilue Eaton, F laking out• a band
of colonists with them, 'sailed in the ship
Hector and, (one other i vessel, name not
given.) after a successful voyage, arrived at
Boston on the 26th of Jane, 1637, where he
was heartily welcomed. Desiring to form a
new settlement,' be and Elton, together with
others of his party, made a journey to the
south where they found a haven to their
ttates on the borders of Long Island Sound,
called, in Indian,- " Quinnipiec, or Quinopi
oke." Here they planted their colony on the
14th of April, 1638 From this settlement
sprung the city of New Haven. W. W. D.

The Chioago Republican (Ab.) says "It is
plain that to claim indirerimlnate suffrage for
the blacks throughout the Siuth, is net only
to defeat black suffrage 'entirely, but to de.
serve defeat." •
Ex-President Buchanan has, with tha
Appletons of New York city, in prepiration
far publication, his defence of himself from
charges of collusion with the secessionists at
the close of hie administration 'This person •
al work will be read with grest . laterest by
the public.
The country has lost a patriot as pure u
Arnold ; the Treasury a finaucit.r as scents
as Monroe Edwards ; sad the army a general
who, alone, is his own nsrallel. Bun Butler,
on Friday last, not having tsKen ther hint to
resign, was kicked out of the United States
army.
_ The Ohio Slate Journal, the central organ cf
Republicanism, •in Pp eak Lug of President
Johnson's ideas of negro suffarge, and stale
rights, says
Pre.i.len' Johnson's views of "secession,"
and his plan of reconstruclion, take the
question of negro suffrage out of National
politics, and consign it to its .true relations
as a question of legitimate State rights. The
sober judgment of the people will very gener-
ally approve this reference.
How rim - NICGROga WOULD Voeu.—The
Springfield Republican says that if "the
Southern negroes bare their suffrage to.mor
row, they - would be much more likely to
follow the leed of the white men around them,
than that of politicians in Massachusetts, of
whom or their ideas not one in a hundred
know anything.'•'
Tho New York ,herald says that, Chief
Justice Chmte and Senator Sumner are trav
eling in the South, trying to incite the ne
groes to insurrection by incendiary speeches,
and calla upon the President to have them
arrested,and paced in pris, n with JOTertion
David.
To sh,;ii. says the Sew York Exprest, that
something. berides suffrage is nereq , osry for
the negro. we quote the following from s
Washington let.er. We believe the facts are
eubAnutinllv s stated :
"I have seen a large number of persons
direct from various parts of the South recent
ly, from Virginia to Louisiana, and it is
remarkable. as I learn from them, what
terrible and universal destitution prevails all
over the South among Ole negroes. These
poor creatures enticed away from their
cemitirtable homes, are crowding into
all she Southern cities by tens of thousand,
men. women and children. Of course, no
provisions hare been made, and no adeqnvte
provisions can be made for their support;
and they am literally tt trying to death by
thousonds "
Thu 3, while these unt.rtunate people at
the South are ashiug fur broad, Northern
extremists are for giving them a stone.
A
goodline of defence is proposed in the
trial of Jeff. Davis. It is said Charles
O'Connor intends to call as witnesses several
immaculate patriott, including Horace Gree—
ley, who argued the right of secession to the
fullest extent; also, D. B. Dickinson, Lyman
Tremaine, B. F. Butler, and others who aided
and abetted the rebellion, anti insiqed in
withdrawing . from the Union the seceding
States were excerciaing an undoubted right.
These gentlemen are all lawyers.' and from
their-speeches on record, and letters froth
some of them to Southern men on file Mr.
O'Connor intends to prove that Jeff. Davis
was aeliast under the advice of counsel
The Cleveland Leader (Republican) says ;
"Let ns inscribe on our platlorm, as a direct
corollary to the demand' for franchise_ to the
freedmei, the proposition l• amend our State
constitution, so Is., to grant equal suffrage to
whim and black." If these pretended friends
of the negro were as assiduous in giving
food to them as they are to give them votes,
so many would net now be starving every.
where in the South.
limoomirrattozzor —Pres't Johnson ehows
excellent wisdom in appointing loyal South
ern men to official positions in tho South.
- Those Northern citizens who thiuk the safety
of the country depend+ on their getting such
places and enriching themselves by specula—
tion.in cotton and tobacto are naturally much
aggrieved, and will be among the loudest
bowlers of the now radical opposition. But
the country is satisfied. Everybody sees
that nothing could tend more •to perpetuate
the alienation of the Southern people than to
send a lot of greedy Northoners to rule over
and plunder them. The disappointment and
vexation of such men are the chief iscret of
the present hullabaloo against the President.
