NEGRO EQ.UALITY AND NEGRO
SUFFRAGE—VOTERS, LOOK AT
THE RECORD !
When Mr. Seward, eighteen months ago,
gave passports to negroes as '' American cit
izens"—when, at the instance of Mr. Sum
ner. a negro was recognized as Minister from
Hayti, and diplomatic intercourse was, for
ihe first time, opened with those who com
mitted the St. Domingo massacre—when the
Emancipation Proclamation was issued un
der the plea of " military necessity," and
when negroes were enlisted and drafted, and
when they were styled by the President
" American citizens of African descent"—
successive steps were taken towards the ac
complishment of a long-predominated, deep
design
That design is negro suffrage, negro equal
ity : and on the 13th of October next the
pe<ple of Pennsylvania are to pronounce
their decision on the question.
To make tae issue clear and fair, the De
tnocracv have nominated Judge Woodward,
who, in the S'ate Convention which framed
the present Constitution, advocated the in
sertion of the word " WHITE" in section one
of the third article, which provides that—
" Every WHITE freeman of the age of twen
ty-one years, having resided in this Slate one
year, and 111 the election disstrict where he
offers to vote ten days immediately preced
ing such election, and within two years paid
a State or county tax which shall have been
assessed at least ten days bef iVe the election,
shall enjoy the r%hts of an elector."
The Republicans have nominated Judge
Agnew, who was also a member of that Con
vention, and who strongly opposed the in
sertion of the word " white" and earnestly
advocated negro suffrage, and Governor Cur
tin, a metnbtr of the Altoona - Conference of
Republican Governors which urged the
Emancipation policy upon the President.
The freemen of Pennsylvania should ex
amiue the r ecord, and remember well that
the same men who have advanced thus far
to the attainment of their purpose are the
same who brought the " enormous pressure"
to hear upon him, to secure the Emancipa
tion Proclamation, of which the President
complained in his address to the Congress
men from the border States and to the Chi
cago Committee—the same who, in the
States of Massachusetts and New York, have
permitted negroes to vote—the same men
with whom the*® National Union party" are
identiCed in Congress and at the polls, and
the same who cloak their ulterior object un
der the pretence of" military necessity."
3 hey ascribe the fall of Yicksburg and
Poit Hudson to negroes, forgetting the ser
vices of white volunteers. The next argu
ment will be, Those who fight shall vote—as
suming that negro troops are the equals of
white soldiers, and that negro voters are the
equals of white Ireemen. That this is their
real design is certain. Let theus speak for
themselves. They declared it once, and are
now carrying out their project in secrecy, by
gradual advances, to avoid suspicion and di
rect opposition.
Ou the ICth of October, 1353, Abraham
Lincoln delivered a speech at Beoria, Illinois,
in which he used the following language :
" What Ido say is, that no man is good
enough to govern another man without the
others consent. 1 say this is the leading
principle, the SHEET ANCHOR of Ameri
can Republicanism. Our Declaration of In
dependence says :
"' We hold these truths to be self evident,
that all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their with certain
inalienable rights ; that among these are life,
LI HERTY, and the pursuit of happiness.—
That to secure these rights, Government
are instituted among men, DRIVING THEIR
JUST POWER FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOV
EREND."
" I have quoted so much at this time,
merely to show that, according to our an
cient faith, the powers of Government are
derived from the consent of the goverend
Now. the relation of master and slave is, pro
, tenia, a total violation of this principle
| The master not only governs the slave wt li
mit his consent, but he governs him by a set
of rules altogether different from those which
he prescribes f<>r himself. Allow ALL the
governed an EQUAL VOICE IN THE
GOVERNMENT, and that, and that only,
is self government— Howell's Lile of Lin
coln, page 2i"9.
Again, in a speech in Chicago, during the
last Presidential election, which we lind pab
lished in the Illinois State Journal , the State
organ of the Black Republican party of Ill
inois. on the 16th of September, 1856, Mr.
Lincoln said :
" That central idea, in our political opin
ion, at the beginning was, and until recently
continued to be, the equality of men. And,
although it was always submitted patiently
to whatever inequality there seemed to be as
a matter of actual necessity, its constant
working has been a steady progress toward
the PRACTICAL EQUALITY OF ALL MEN:
" Let past difference as nothing be ; and,
with steady eye ou the real issue, let us re
inaugurate the good old central ideas of the
Republic. We can do it. The human
heart is wth us; God is with us. We shall
again be able not to declare that all the
States, as States, are equal, nor yet that all
citizens, as citizens, are equal, but renew the
broader, better declaration, iucluding both
these and much more, that all men are cre
ated equal."
again, in his speech at Chicago on the
10th of July, 1858, Mr. Lrneoln said •
'• I should like to know if, taking the old
Declaration of Independence, which declares
that all men are equal tipon principle, and
making exceptions to It, where will it stop I
If ONE MAN -AI 1 - II Don MOl MEAN A NLGR9,
"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson.
TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16, 1863.
WHY NOT ANOTHER BAY IT DOES NOT MEAN
SOME OTHER MAN ? If that declaration is
not the truth, let us get the statute-book in
which we find it, and tear it out. Who is
so bold as to do it ? It it is not true, let us
tear it out! [Cries of 4 No! no !'] Let us
stick to it then ! let us stand by it then. *
* * * Let us discard all this quibbing
about this man and the other man—this race
and that race and the other race being infe
rior, and theaefore they must be placed in
an inferior position—discarding the standard
that we have left us. Let us discard all
these things, and unite, as one people thro'-
out this land, until we shall once more stand
up declaring that ALL MEN are created equal
* * * I leave you, hoping that the
lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms
UNTIL THERE SHALL NO LONGER BE A DOUB'L
THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL."
See the volume of the debates between
Lincoln end Douglas, which have been re
vised by Mr. Lincoln sine his nomination
for the Presidency, pages 23, 24. Salmon P.
Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, twice elect
ed Governor ot Ohio, and elected Uuited
States Senator from that State, by the Black
Republican party, was presented with a sil
ver pitcher by the negroes of Cincinnatti on
the 6th of May, 1845. In response to the
presentation, he said :
"In what I have done I cannot claim to
have acted from any peculiar consideration of
the colored people as a separate and distinct
class in the community, but from the simple
conviction that all the individuals ot that
class are members of the community, and. in
viriue of their manhood, entitled to EVERY
ORIGINAL RIGHT ENJOYED BY ANY
OTHER MEMBER. We feel, therefore,
that all LEGAL DISTINCTION between
individuals of the same community, founded
in any such circumstances as color, origin,
and the like, are hostile to the genius of sur
institutions, and incompatible with the true
theory of American liberty, SLAVERY and
oppression must CEASE, or American lib
erty must peiish.
" In Massacnusetts, and in most, if not all,
the Eew England States, the colored man
and the white are absolufely equal before
the law.
" In New York the colored man is restrict
ed as to the right of suffrage by a property
qualification. In other respects the same
equality prevails,
9 I embrace with pleasure this opportuni
ty of declaring MY DISAPPROBATION nj
(hat clause, of the Constitution which denies
to a portion of the colored people the right
of suffrage. " True Democracy makes no
Inquiry about the color of the skin or place
of nativity, or any other similar circumstance
of condition. I regard, therefore, the EX
CLUSION oj tfye colored people as a body
from the elective franchise as INCOMPAI
IDLE with true Democratic principles **
The Hon. lit Pry Wilson United States
Senator from Massachusetts, in a speech de
livered in the Senate on the sth of May, 1858
said:
'■ Now, Mr. President, T live in a Common-
WEALTH that recognize* the ABSOLUTE AND
PKKVECT KAOAJ.TTT of all men of all races.—
A mulatto or negro in the State 1 represent
is not only a citizen of the State ; he not on
ly has the right to vote, but, if the people
choose to do it Ihey may elect hiw to any of
fice in theii giit.^—Cong. Globe, Ist Scss
35/A Cong , page 19GG.
Iu 185G, Senator Wilson said:
'•Sir, lam proud to live in a Common
wealth where every man, black or white, of
every clime and race, is recognized as a tnan,
standing upon the terms of PERFECT AND
AESoLL'Ty: EQUALITY before the laws."— App,
Cong. Globe, lsL Sess. 24(h Cong page 393.
Senator Wilson made a mistake when he
stated that there was perfect equality in
Massachusetts. Such is not the case. By
the laws of that State, A FOREIGNER CANNOT
VOTE IN IT FOR TWO YEARS AFTER HE HAS
BEEN NATURALIZED AND A CITIZEN OF THE
STATE, WHILE A NEGRO, UNDER THE SAME
LAW, ACQUIRES A VOTE IN ONE YEAR J AND
what they have done in Massachustts they
will do in Pennsylvania, if they have the
power.
On a former occasion, (page 18G4,) Mr.
P r*ssondon the Black Republican Senator
run Mayne, held forth in this wise : ,
"By the laws of Maine, and under the
Constitution of the State of Mayne, free ne
groes are citizens— .just as muth citizens in
he Stale of Maine a a white men. It has
been so solemnly decided bv the highest
tribunal of our State since the decision of
the Dred Scott case. The Supreme Court of
Maine has decided that they aie entitled to
all the privileges—that they stand upon a
PERFECT EQUALITY with white men —under
'he Constitution and laws of that State.—
They are voters, and recognized as citizens
under the terms of the Constitution, which
allows any citizen to vote."
Here we have the Black Republican su
preme Court of Maine actually nullifying the
decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States, so intense is their love for the negro !
Is this not enough to startle and alarm every
lover of his country ?
Now, listen to Cassius M. Clay, who was
the chief competitor against Ilamliu for the
nomination for the Vice Presidency in the
Chicago Convention, and now Minister to
Russia :
" Our Legislatures, State and Federal,
should raise the platform upon which our
free colored people stand ; they sh uld give
to them full political rights to hold office, to
vote, to sit on Juries . to give their tesimn y,
and to make no distinclio • between them
and ourselves. The INSTRUMENT called the
Constitution, after pronouncing all men equal,
and having equal rights, suffers slavery to
exist, a free colored person to be denied all
poliitical rights, and after declaring that all
persons shall enjoy a free Intercourse with
the States, suffers the free negro to be driven
out of all, and excluded from such rights.—
Deliver me from such an instrument thus
partial, thus unjust, that can be thus per
verted, and made to sanction prejudices and
party feelings, and note tbo accidental-dis
tiuotiou of color. 5 ' -
This BUck Republican maniac raves at the
Constitutien because it dees not guaranty
the equality of the negro with the white
man !
Now, let us hear from Horace Greeley,
" the chief cook and bottle-washer," in the
Chicago Convention, whose efforts there
brought about the nomination of Lincoln.
As far back as the 17th of January, 1861,
Greeley thus spoke in his Tribune :
" We loathe and detefj; ali laws which
give or withhold political rights on account
of color. 4 A man's a man for a 4 that,' and
ought to have the full rirhls of monhond,
whether his ancestors were Celts, Goths or
Hottentots, whether his complexion be ebo
ny or ivory. * * * * All constitution
al exclusions of any class from the polls, the
jury-box, &c., because of color, are aristocrat
ic, unjust and infamous."
Again, in 1855, we see him proposing and
urging the nomination for Congress of that
uotorious negro, Fred. Douglas. Just listen
to him:
44 Among the candidates put up by tne
convention of the Liberty party at Utica, on
Wednesday, is Mr. Frederick Douglas, of
Monroe county, who is nominated for the
office of Secretary of State. With respect to
ability, a better nomination could hardlv be
desired ; but we confess that we should re
gret to see Mr. Douglas, elected. His prop
er place is not a member of ihe State Admin
istration at Albany, but as a member of
Congress at Washington. For* the former
office he possessed no qualifications that
might not be found in other gentlemen, while
for ihe duties of a representative of Washing
ton he is particularly gifted. As an orator
and debater he possesses both the force and
the grace of a Virginia gentleman of the old
school and one of the first families, to which
a great depth of conviction and a resolution
worthy of the best days of the R public and
a persuasive and magnetic charms not often
felt in the Federal Capitol. We trust, then,
that the friends of Mr Douglac will not per
sist in urging his election to the office for
which he is nominated, but will makg every
preparation to return him to Congress <>n the
very first vacancy in the Monroe district."
In the Tribune of September 17th, 1830,
Greeley thus speaks in regard to the right of
the negro to vote :
" Understand clearly that the question of
allowing or forbidding negroes to vote in our
state U not before the people. Let the result
this fall be as it tnay, negroes will continue
to be voters in our Srate. The simple ques
tion'to be decided bo the people is—Shall a
very inconsiderate fraction <>f our people con
tinue to be deprived of the right of suffrage
f>r want oft* 150 worth of dirt ? If so. on
what principle I Their black skins do not in
any event disfranchise them. Shu I their
poverty do so ?"*
Now, hear the old apostle of Black Repub
licanism, Joshua R Giddings. In his speech
in the House, December 18, 1855, Mr Gid
dings sa'd ;
" ihis Government was founded for the
purpose, design and end of'securing all men
under iis jurisdiction in the enjoyment of life.
liberty and happiness.', It is now placed In
our hands. On this rotk the Republican
church was founded,a nd I speak reverently
when I sny the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.' * * When we say'a//men are
thus endowed,' we mean what we say. We
do not refer particularly to the high or low,
the rich or the poor, the negro the mulatto,
or the white, but to all men who bear the
image of God and are endowed with certain
inalienable rights : that among these are life,
liberty , and the pursuit of happiness."
When questioned in the House of Repre
sentatives, the Hon. N. P. Banks, afterwards
elected Speaker of the Hosue, and Governor
of Massachusetts, by the Black Republicans,
declared his inability to decide whether the
white or black was the superior race, but
would leave the question to be decided by ab
sorption or amalgamation ! He said :
'• So far as he had studied the subject of
races, he had adopted the idea that when
there is a weaker race in existence, it will
succumb to, and be absorbed in the stronger
race. This was the universal law as regard
ed the races of men in the world. In regard
to the question whether the withe or the black
race was superior, he proposed to wait until
time should develop whether the white race
should absocb the black, or THE BLACK, AB
SORB THE WHITE."
In this country the doctrine of negro
equality presents itself in a two fold aspect.
To the people of the North it says, " You
must Rtrike down all laws which erect a bar
rier between you and the black man ; he is
your equal, entitled to vote, hold office sit at
the satne table with you and marry your
daughters. Y'ou must give him the same
political and 6ocial rights you enjoy, fur he Is
your equal, and entitled to them !" Are the
people of the North prepared for this ?
To the people of the South negro equality
says : " You must free your negroes and give
them all the rights you now enjoy, for they
are your equals, and entitled to their freedom
and the political and social privileges enjoyed
by you."
Jn regard to the Declaration of Indopend
ence giving any color to this hideous doc
trine of negro equfity, it is a sufficient an
swer to say that when it was drafted every
State fn this Union but one were elavehold
ing Spates ; and it is an arrant humbug to
say that these States would have thus made
a declaration amounting to a virtual emanci
pation of their slaves. INDUED, LEST
THIS IDEA SHOULD RECEIVE ANY
COUNTENANCE, THE WORD " FREE"
WHICH WAS IN TIIE ORIGINAL
DRAFT OF THE DECLARATION, WAS
STRICKEN OUT. THE " ALL MEN" IN
IT IS OF A PIECE WITH" WE, THE
PEOPLE," IN TIIE CONSTIUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES, AND REFERS
ALONE TO WHITE MEN. NOBODY
CONTENDS THAT THE CONSTITUTION
GIVES THE BLACK "PEOPLE" TIIE
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE, OF HOLDING
OFFICE, AND OF SOCIAL AND POLITI
CAL EQUALITY. NO MORE DOES THE
"ALL MEN" IN THE DECLARATION
GIVE THEM THESE PRIVILEGES—
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A GOVERN
MENT OF WHITE MEN, MADE FOR
WHITE MEN AND REULD BY WHITE
MEN, ALL OF WHOM ARE-EQUAL."
This is the idaa expressed by Stephen A
Douglas, when he *9l-1 :
" I hold that this government rvas made
on the WHITE BASIS, by WHITE MtN.fr (AP
benefit of WHITF. MEN and their POSTERITY
forever."
This is the secret of the pretended, the
boasted philanthr >pv of Abolitionism 1 of its
sympathy with John Brown—to make blacks
voters, and to secure power, in defiance ol
the white men of the country—first emanci
pation, and serviie war even at the expense
of the Union ; then negro troops, and then
negro suffrage.
John A Andrews, Governor of Mass a
chuselte. ■presided at a John Brown sympa
thy meeting on the 19 November, 1859. at
which Wendell Phillips and B. If. Emerson
made speeches. He, too, made a speech, and
from it we make the following extract :
" John Brown and his companions i n the

there and those who are to suffer are mur

We next quote from the Winstcad {Con

And Horace Greeley, while admitting that
the abolition of slavery in the States is ihe
real object of the Republican party, explains
the reason why they did not then openly ad
vocate the doctrine. We quote from his pa
per (the Tribune) of July 25th, 1854:
"We contend that the Ab dition of slavery

"Admit that Abolition in the Statts is

" The lust of gain, the greed of power and
temptation of position, which now prevail
among a very large class in the free States,
has had much to do with the prolongation of
the war."
Again :
" Seven out of every ten officers now in
the service deem it to their interest to pro
long the war, simply because with the end
of the war will come a suspension of posi
tion and salary, such as these men never re
ceived before, and never can receive in any
civil position for which their talents fit
them." *
An 1 again :
" Added to these are a large class in the
mercantile and financial world, _ men of im
mense influence, who are amassing colossal
fortunes solely by the prolongation of the
war."
These truths should arrest the attention
of all sober minded, well disposed citizens
who desue the welfare of their country
Corruption, dishonesjy and gross misman
agement have been, and still are the promi

Administration. Snail these things contin

WHY IS THE DRAFT NECESSARY I
In the wiuter of 18(32, Mr. Fessenden, Re
publican Senator from Maine, in a speech in
ttie Senate said :
"In every Slate ol the Union there aro
men who are paid from month to month, not
caked in me held absolutely, for the ieason
that G iverntnent has no occasion to use
them, and yet no step is taken to disband
these men. Why not disband them if they
are n.t wanted? We have 250,000 more
t.. '\e ever intended to have. It is exti va
gi:.ce .f the ui si wanton Kind. I oSered a
proposition to stop all enlistments."
Senator \Y ileou, of Massachusetts, said:
'• 1 have over and over again been to the
War Olfice, and urged upon the Department
to stop recruiting in every part of the coun
try. \\ e have uad had the promise that it
shcfuU be done. I believe to-day 15Q.000
more men under the pay of the Government
than we need or can well U9e. I think the
Department ought to issue peremptorv or
ders foi'biddiug the eulistmeut of another
sulJiei iu tue volunteer force,'U
I cat was before the Emancipation procla
mation was issued. They then had mora
men tnan they wanted. They issued that
proclamation—volunteering ceased— and a
lorced conscription was the result !
A Copptriiead. —President Lincoln said
in his Inaugural :
"Ifippily the human mind is so constitut
ed that no party can reach the audacity of
denying any right plainly written in the
C'onstitntion. If, by mere force of numbers,
a majority should deprive a minority of any
cleaily written constitutional right, it might
in a moral point of vi en, justify revolution <
It is quite evident that President Lincoln,
it he continued to hold the doctrine above
ex Dressed, would now be classed by his own
friends as a Copperhead.— Ex.
