k When the relative strength of parties is
considered,. in many of -the Northern
States, it will be easy to-'.-tee that-the negro
vote, if thrown as a unit, as would almost
certainly be 'the case, would control the
politics of the whole country. In moat of
the large States there would be a 'powertnl
enough negro vote to more than make up
the difference between the two parties, as
now' constituted on a white basis, and the
organization which would bid , the highest
for their suffrage, would be assured of cer
tain success for a time. In that event the
negro would , virtually dictate the
policy- - of' the nation s 'and , the con
flict of races, so long continued, would re
sult in the mastery of the African. This
argument is on the presumption that pub
lic opinion Will always remain' as at pres
ent, but nothing is surer than if the negro
once secures an equality of political rights,
his natural arrogance soon create a
revulsion against him. that will' react
against any party that dependa upon his
co-operation for. success.
We seta it stated that Speaker Colfax has
recently written a letter to some Fenians'
expressing great sympathy with their
movement, and. giving his views es to the
value of "sympathy" to people who are
struggling for liberty. He thinks our sym
nathy.was of great- service to the Poles,
tee Hiingariane, the Cretans anctthe
erals of Mexico ; and he infers, therefore,
that il l will atm aid the Fenian cause. This;
is all very tine • talk, but' not much else.
Expressions of symnatby are always grati
fying to people who are struggling or suf
fering, but in contests for freedom they are
worth but little, except as they may in
spire hope of more substantial aid, and all
such hopes thus inspired generally lead to
disappointment. We expressed a great
deal of sympathy for the Hungarians, but
it never brought them an hour nearer in
dependence. The Poles have had the
sympathy of the world, but they are mote
*roughly the victims of tyranny now
than ever.before. Our sympathy for the
Fenians has probably encouraced a good
many patriotic Irishmen to rash into Can
ado, and to attempt a rising in Ireland ;
but all they have got by it has bean long
terms in the Penitentiary and a still more
rigid enforcement of English rale.' 'These
resolutions of sympathy are generally
nothing more than the tricks of dente
iogues, by which they hope to wheedle
the credulous into giving them their votes
and keeping them in office. We are sorry
to say they succeed but too often.
TAE Committee of the Massachusetts
Legislature which has, been occupied for
msny weeks in taking evidence upon the
workings of the State Priihibitory Liquor
Law, has made its report, virtually re.
commending a return to the license sys.
tern. The CoMmittee say that all the
evidence went to shop that there was
mor.'drunkenness,especially in the cities,
under the prohibitory law than under the
old license system. The experience of
31assach usetta is but another addition to
the many proofs previously existing that
every endeavor to regulate the public
morals, tastes or
.passions, by legislation
will result in_failure. We have never had
much faith, and daily grow more confirm.

TuE Southern papers are naturally-very
much rejoiced over 'the :release of Jeff.
Davie, and as - a general thing ti
matter in a _commendable spirit. 'They
say that the act has done more to
a spirit of kindness and good - will - hetween
the North and South than anythiniwbicli

Nearly all of them speak warmly of the
conduct of Mr. Greeley and Gerritt'Smith

the South' has cherished, the most bitter
hostility heretofore, as unexpected as it is

The Buffalo Courier calls attention to
i the fact--equally significant to. Democrats
and-Radicals—that since the passage of
the Military Reconstruction bills 'scarcely
an-election, however petty,hasoccuried,
that did not indicate the rapid, decadence
of Radicalism. The . New Hatisishire
State election took place ad soon . , after the
arbitrary legislation- of Ccingress that a
proper sense of the total revolution of Re
publican principles involved_tilerein did
not penetrate the minds of the people.
RadiCalism was rebuked even there,. our
party gaining - fifteen hundred or 'mole
votes over the etection of the year before;
but Still the State was not redeemed, nor
was the solid Radical - representation in
Congress broken. But in Connecticut and:
Kentucky the elections were held later
anti the significance of the result Cannot
be mistaken. In the last, - or Thirty.
ninth Congress, these two States elected
representatives ns follows :
DEll. RAD.
Connecticut
Kentucky - 5
In the Fortieth or present Cmgreas, the
following is the result':
DEL RAD
Connecticut 3 - 1
Kentucky 9
We need not look fir for the explana
tion of this - wonderful change of senti
ment. When the elections were held in
these States for the Thirty-ninth Congress,
the constitutional amendments were ad
vertised as the ultimatum of the Radical
party, by its orators and by its press.
Democrats as persistently pointed out
that the disuttionists 'would not be con
tent with so mild,a measure, and demand
el that Congress, if the amendments were
.a finality , should declare them so, in order
: that the Southern States might see the
-groupd before there. But, while no such
pledges were given,the people were hood
winked into believing that no severer
conditions would he required, and by this
chicanery the Radicals secured the Thfr
ty.eieth and Fortieth Congressea. The
mask was 'then immediately thrown
aside ; the miserable pretence set up that
the South had rejected the amendments—
which had never been offered it as a con
dition of admission ; and the infamous
system of military rule inaugurated. It-is
fortunate that the elections of Connecti
cut and Kentucky have occurred at this
time. Had these States chosen their rep
resentatives last fall they might have also
been duped by Radical treachery. Now
they have voted.with their eyes open, and
the result is a complete reversal of their
formerverdict, a thorough condemnation .
of the' course of Congress in creating mill
:tary satrapies in this -once free country.
'The Radicals have played their cards well
in not exposing their bands until the
game was secure. The Fortieth Congress
is theirs, for which the consolation is that
they are responsible for.its
Could the voice of the whole Northern
peOple be heard to-day, it would tell the
same tale of the coming downfall of the
mushroom of Radicalism. We must bide
our time. The People will not forget and
the opportunity will come. •

CATCH WORDS.
. The Cleveland Plak,deater. is right in .
saying that the influondas the Radical fac
tion has gained over• the popular mind is
more owing, to,the ingenious use of catch
words than to.the - strength of their argil
ments. The latter are weak and superfi
cial ;. but their Catch-words and smooth
phrases about liberty, and! equality often
take with men who, if they rightly under
stood the designs these words and phrases
are intended to cover upi: would turn
from those with whom they now asso

Ten

,Such epithets as "copperhesda," "rebel
sympathizers," Cc., applied to men simply
because they were in favor of maintaining
the. Union Ond the guarantees of right in
the Constitution, in opposition to the Rad
ical destruotives, have frightened many
from the support of the men and measures
they knew to be right and really conserv
ative of liberty and equality. And now,
the Radical leaders and journals, in order
to impose negro suffrage and white dis
franchisement, are making a great parade
of the catchwords 'manhood suffrage,"
"impartial suffrage," and the like, when
their proposition to invest the blacks
with the suffrage and deny it to thou
sands of whita.nien, is, most degrading
to true manhood,, and, both partial and
upjust.
Another trick is,to.pretend that to make
a distinction between:whites and blaolorin
regard to the suffrage, is , to perpetuate
caste in this country. This is utterly false
.and shows the Weakness of the came that
- stands in need of such falsehoods to sus
tain it. There is and never was in this
country any such thing as caste as com
monly understood, and as it exists in In
dia. As well might it be pretended that
•it is perpetuating caste to denythe suffrage
'to women, • to minors, and to aliens' until
after a residence of five years in the United
States. Civil law bas not made, nor can
it abolish, the distinction of race—the wide
and impassible gulf that - nature has fixed
between the white and black racer. Ilu
man laws that attempt to override those
which nature has established. are fraught
with infinite mischief, even to those they
are made to benefit.-
Ora DEBT AND TAXES .—The New York
Evening Post, Radical, has an interesting,
article under this head, showing the taxes
which individuals and families must pay
this year. As oar share of the na
tional indebtedness is the same in Penn
sylvarda, in proportion to population, and
our State and municipal burthens also
in equal proportions, the-same figures giv
en by the Post will apply here with equal
correctness, The post says of New York,
."tbe population of the State in 1865 was
3,831 4 727. Estimating The present' popu
-lation„in rotted numbers, at four millions,
every man, woman and child in the State
muat pay this year $20,50. The largest
vote,ever polled in this State was" 731,010.
Estitnatin`g the present number of electors
at 750,000, each . elector must pay this year
$146,66. Th enu ml:)er of land owners in the
State in 1855 . was 373,998. It the numb

Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, after his
unmistakable - services to , the "causo of

unmeasured, vituperation because uf his
opposition ‘to the,proldbition poliey;', 'But,
this'involves a strange fergetfulrietts of the
uintit course of tarmac - ism. There it but
'oriii`sin a man can commit in the.minds of
thew thorough-going extremists,—and
that is to

past services pass-for nothing. - Argument,
howevcr cogent, is worse than wasted.
Any man who questions their policy must
be hunted down and 'silenced. No matter
how it its done—the-end will justify any
means that may be used for attaining it.
Abuse, slander, denunciation,--impeach
meat of motives, are among the usual re-
sorts of this class - of crusaders, and they
wean employed with ruthless recklesinews
and ferocity. Gov. Andrew is only Gape
riencing the fate of all who have dared to
withstand the march of eltraism.: The
first article in the creed of extremists is
that they are abselutelyind unmistakably
rigid; the second i 9 that every man who
differs' from them- must necessarily be
hopelessly and culpably wrong. The only
consolation in the matter is that it is only
on rare occasions that this class of men
come into the ascendent and get control
of publics affairs. As a general. thing the
mass of men are governed by reason,.prio
tical wisdom and common sense. -
A WORD, TO. BozmnpLnzßs.—Speaking of
the probable effect of negro suffrage upon
the financial interests of the country,
Henry Clay Dean recently said :
"I could wish bondholders no worse'
luck than to fall into the hands of ne
'gratis, who want cheap foal and raiment,
who will' vote dovin tariffs and taxes.
Then-what becomes of the public debt ?"
There is a pregnant moaning in those
few words which holders of bonds would
do well to ponder carefully. With the in
corporation of the vast mass of ignorant
negroes among the vptericif this country,
there will be serious danger of repudiation,
whdnevir ate time'of financial depression
the burthen of taxation shall press heavi
ly upon the poorer classes: , It cannot be•
expected that the negroes be re
straiised by any fastidious sense 'of honor
from voting to shift the burthens of the gov
ernment from their shouldsirs. The cry
of cheap clothing . and,cheap goods in gen
eral will be what, Viey will' listen to most
eagerly. Let the bondholders seriously
reflect upon the effect which unrestricted
negro.suffrage will have upon their seouri
,

ties.
WHAT IT COBTS.—The sYsteto of milita
ry government which the • Radicals
have introduced. into the Sttuth
ern States, in defianes of all constitution
al law P and to the destruction of our the
'
...ork of government, costs,according to their
own figures, the enormous Sum of $150,-
000,000 a year. When the country was
under a Democratic admiuititration, also
in time of peace, its whide expense Was
but an average per year of some $60,000,-
000. CAu the people long be blind to the
significance of these
: figures ? When we
were engaged in war, it was no time to
:count the cost. Ilut now the war is over,
,the ideas of those who held the purse
,strings of the nation shonledeacend to the
moderate requirements of peace. It is
monstrous that the War Department
should consume two anti one-half times
the amount necessary for our total expens
es, when nothing is gained thereby but
aggravation of old sores, the overthrowof
just law, and our disgrace in tbe'•eyes of
the world. -
Tae Cleveland Herald,, Radical as it is,

A few days ago the Philadelphia Ledger,
in an able article oti the "Exteniiioti of the
United States," said : "The dreams of
universal monarchy have been a' success
in the United States, so far as they are'
founded on military force, instead of the
"natural love and good will of voluntary
agreement," We think the success has
been remarkable. Ten' States of the

"If corruption for the next ten years gath

the last ten, we might just as well put up
everything with which law-making has
anything to do at public sale. A Legisla
