RESISTING FATi:-XEGKO SUF
FRAGE. The Journal editor is attempting to
Htavo off tho Negro Question. He is
trying to convince "copperheads" that
there is no use in resisting fate He
holds that the Xegro Question is un
alterably fixed ; and hence it matters
not whether they like what has been
done or not ; all they can say or do
will effect no change in the law what
ever. In producing these arguments our
neighbor but echoes Senator Williams.
He advanced substantially tho same
reasons in the speech he delivered a
short time since in Albany. He, too,
told us that the Xegro Question was
settled ; and that it is useless for Dem
ocrats to "kick against the pricks"
we would only peel our own shins by
the operation.
We cannot help entertaining a feel
ing something akin to contempt for
any one who seriously urges such rea
sons why all opposition to any meas
ure should cease. All tyrants argue
in the same manner. They issue ty
lamical edicts; and if their subjects
evince any restlessness or disquietude,
they inform them, in courtly language,
that it is useless to say aught against
them, or to oppose them in any man
ner whatever. The questions involved
are settled. If this does not close the
mouths of their people, they point
significantly to the sword, the bayo
net and bastile, and these are argu
ments generally too potent to be with
stood. No man, who is in the least influenc
ed by such considerations, is fit to be a
freeman. He ought to be governed
by a tyrant and wear the chains a ty
rant would rivet upon his limbs. Had
ill men been influenced by such con
siderations the world to-day would be
iiopelesjily enslaved. Such a theory,
acquiesced in, makes a man a mere
machine a servant a ninny a pa
tient, passive, quiescent ass and he
deserves the blow which he isiuro to
receive at the unfeeling hands of his
masters.
When the Savior of mankind began
his ministerial career the whole world
the Jewish nation excepted were
idolaters; and the great bulk of his
own nation possessed none of the true
spirit of religion; they were mere
formalists. Suppose someone had told
him that it was useless for him to op-
-po-e any of the prevailing vices of
the age that polygamy and polythe
ism were unalterably fixed ; that man
kind were hopelessly debauched and
degraded ; that he was poor, power
less and unbefriended, and that there
fore lie could not hope to make any
headway against any of the forms of
error, and vice, and crime, and the ty
rannical governments so prevalent in
his day ; and suppose he had been
influenced by such considerations
what would have been the condition
of the world to-day ? The whole world
would have been like tiie Chinese, the
Hottentots, the Indians and the native
3Iexicans whom Cortez subdued. It
would have been one vast lazar-house
of festering rottenness and corruption,
without one feature to redeem its-hid-
eousness and loathsomeness.
The history of the world is full of
examples of those who have success
fully labored for its good ; but who
were uninfluenced by the plea of ty
rants which Senator Williams and the
Journal use so flippantly. Witness a
Luther, and his coadjutors ; a Patrick
Henry and other heroes .ojf the -Revo
lution.
When we cease to oppose Xegro
Suffrage when we cease to oppose
the inevitable sequence of Social Xe
gro Equality when we cease to raise
.our voice against the intermarriage of
the kinky-haired, flat-nosed, thick
.lipped, long-heeled, sweet-scqnted, lazy
negro with the Caucasian race may
.our right hand forget its cunning, and
,our tongue cleave to the roof of our
jnouth. It may ie true that Xegro
Suffrage is unalterably fixed in the
United States; but we intend to fight
it as long as we live and move and
have our being in the Union.
We don't wonder that Radical lead
ers are desirous that further agitation
of the Xegro Question should cease.
It is au apparition they would have
vanish from tlieir sight forever. But
like Banquq's ghost, it will not down
at their bidding." One of the great
questions on which the recent elections
in Montana Territory, Maine and Cat
ifornia hinged,, was that, of Xegro
Suffrage. ; The people, now that their
eyes are not bedizzened by the fuss,
and feather f, and glare, and glitter,
and tinselry of war, are beginning to
view this question in its proper light;
"and we have no doubt that they will
ultimately repeal the nefarious laws
which a fanatical disunion Congress
have placed - upon our statute-books.
God speed the day when such a con
summation- shall have been achieved..
UOTII CANNOT BU TRUE.
Some of tho Radical journals of Or
egon are trying to make the public be
lieve that tho Democratic party favor
tho repudiation of tho Federal In
debtedness. On the other hand, a late
Marysville (Cal.) Appcalte attempting
to show that the Democracy will as
sume and pay the Re' el Debt should
they attain power.
One or the other, or both of thct'O
charges must bo untrue. If any Dem
ocrat is in favor of repudiating tho
national debt, the chief reason is, he
believes it is so vast that it is impossi
ble ever to pay it. As a nation we
now owe about four billions of dollars;
aud the county, town, municipal and
State debt is, according to the best au
thorities, about three billions of dol
lars; making a grand total of seven
billions a debt more than twice as
large as that of Great Britain ; while
our taxable property is not much more
than half as largo ; and the interest
we pay is nearly double that paid by
Great Britain. Xo nation in the tide
of time ever bore so terrible a burden.
Lincoln himself told a personal friend
of ours that the debt would ultimate
ly be repudiated.
Xow, they who favor repudiation,
if there are any, because the debt is
so large that it is impossible ever to
pay it, would be the longest-eared ass
es the world ever saw to add to it the
Rebel Debt of $2,500,000,000. That
would help matters mightily, wouldn't
it?
We speak for ourself only. We are
not in favor of paying the Rebel Debt.
The South and the North went to war
airainst our will and without our con
sent. The Shylocks of England, who
loaned money to the South, did so
with their eyes open. They took the
chances, and the fortunes of war be
ing against them, they lont ; and we
say now let them "abide the result.
They shall never have a solitary dol
lar with our consent.
SIXGLLAiriTIES OF NEFritACiE.
A nice commentary upon the Radical
demand for impartial suffrage in tho
South, says the N. Y. Sun. is found in
the fact that only eight of the twenty-two
States controlled by the Radicals permit
such suffrage. Ot the New England
States, Connecticut is the only one that
refuses the ballot to colored meu. Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont make no
distinction whatever in re.pect to suffrage,
but Massachusetts And Rhode Island do.
The laws of Massachusetts require the
voter to bo able to read the Constitution
of the United States in the English lan
jruajre and to write hU own name.
Rhode Island likewLe indulges in a lit
tle Know-Nothingtsm in its tmffrago law,
by declaring that every native male citi
zen may vote. In New York negroes
with certain qualifications arc allowed to
vote ; that is, such as are worth two hun
dred and fifty dollars, and have been in
the State three years. In Wisconsin no
groes are allowed to vote by virtue of a
decision by the Supreme Court of that
State upon a technicality. In Okio the
greater park of the Begroes vote, although
the law gives ballot only to those who
have more than half white blood. Dar
keys who are black as charcoal can vote
there in the Radical districts, under the
half white law. In nearly all of the oth
er States, however, the Radicals have de
clined, by tests in popular elections, to
give the negroes that which they so stren
uously insist the Southern people shall
give them.
U. S. Bonds. Radical journals insist
that U. S. Bonds will Dot be taxed be
cause the people will not permit it.
What can 400,000 bondholders do against
600,000 negro voces, 1,000,000 Southern
white votes and 3,000,000 of Northern
and Western men who hold no bonds?
This is the army of voters bondholders
will ultimately have arrayed against them

aterlaji'd i me uermans are cowing

editor of the Boston Pioneer, the most ultra
Radical paper in the country, has cut loose
from tho so-called "Republican" party. The
Pittsburg Yolksblalt, an influential Radical
daily, says that the German ''Republicans"
must form an alliance with the Democracy,
The Iowa German Repullican papers take
similar ground, and Carl Schurz himself, re
commends in the St. Louis Weslliche Post,
that the German Radicals vote for the Demo
cratic candidate for legislative and munici
pal offices The Germans left their vaterland
to seek a land of liberty, and they will nev

A Foundling. In a speech delivered at
the late dog-days session of the Rump, by
Mr. Van Trump, reported in the Congress
ional Globe, that gentleman truthfully
speaks of "West Virginia as a ''mean political
foundling,' without a drop of constitutional
blood in her veins ; an illegitimate star in
0ur political constellation ; conceived in sin
and born in iniquity of modern republican
ism
etc.

Ot'R Financial Futluk. Tho New
York Times, in discussing our financial
condition, has but one panacea for our
troubles. That is the faithful and Jion
est collection of the tax on wiskey. This
is a superficial view of the question, and
does not at all go to the .root of the mat
ter. No doctoring wiU ,a.vail to relieve
the people as long as wc arc burdened
with the national ,dcbt. We must pay
off tho national debt at cacc, and stop all
that vast intexcet -rvhlch renders oppress
ive taxation nectary. It can be paid
immediately, ia the legal tender currency
of the country, in which all other debts
are paid. This measure, and this alone
will givo nancial case aud repose to tho
country.
Tiie ' Time' proposition merely looks to
paying the interest on the bonds. Ours
would pay tho principal, and so get rid of
any interest at all. Our plan is in the
interest of the masses ; that of the Times
in the interest of the bondholders. (Jin.

Taxation of Government llondn.
Tho more the subject occupies the at
tention of men, tho moro apparent be
comes tho oppressiveness of that law by
which. Government bonds oro exempted
from taxation. Kvcry year is adding to
tho' burdens upon real estate; for, from
tho timo Government made known its
wants, and offered so liberally to such as
would como forward and supply them, the
ready money of persons and corporations
has been passiug from tho list of taxable
firoperty into that which is exempted
rom all share in sustaining tho public
burdens.
An isolated instanco will servo better
than a general statement to enforce tho
subject in hand. A few months since a
Mr Lord was, in broad daylight, at that
neat of the inoncy-ehirmcrs Wall street
New York robbed of 81,400,000 of prop
crty in Government bonds exempted from
taxation. If this resident of New York
had dwelt in New Hamphhire, and this
amount of means was subjected to the
present averao rato of taxation iu this
State, ho would pay somewhere in tho vi
cinity of 825,000, or a twenty-fifth part
of the Stuto tax ordered last Juno for
1808. It is impoHsiblo to arrive at tho
facts, but it is undoubtedly tho cane, that
Government bonds aro held, by persons
and corporations in New Hampshire, to
at least five times tho amount of the Wall
street robbery nay soven millions of dol
lars which, taxed two per cent, would
yield 8140,000. Probably wo have set
the estimate too low by half; but, even
at our low conjecture, property to tho
amount of 87,OUO,000 the means, too,
of people most able to pay i.i exempted
from taxation, and 8140,000 transferred
from the shoulders of people iu easy, and
sometimes opulent circumstances, to those
of their les fortunate fellow-citizens. Ah
State banks have closed their affairs.
stockholders have been diligent to re-invest
iu Government bonds. Other capi
talists have transferred their means to
savings banks, the directors of several of
which institutions, inslcad of being thn
keepers of widows' mites and the inheri
tances of orphans, have become the guard
ians of the surplus capital of aiiluent men
whose property is thus subjected to only
tho moderate taxation moderate for these
times of three fourths of ouo per cent.
by t hc.no precede on immense amount
of property, immediately convertible into
cash, has passed beyond tho reach of o-
cat assessors. So much of these unknown
millions as consist of Government bonds
are to remain exempted from taxation to
an inevitable distant period, unless the
Government changes the contract, or
takes up its oblii; t ons in ndvanco of ma
turity, and supplies its needs by another
process.
At the time the Government male its
etiticiug offer, and thenceforth to the end
of the war, fe .v nieii were disposed to com
plain of the conditions upon which mon
ey was obtained to carry on that conflict.
But there ha been a great change. Tax
ation is necessarily laid to amounts that
would, ten years ago, have been regarded
a impossible to meet. State, county and
tiwn taxation is as tt
to amounts ab.o'utcly
lrigUtlul to multitude ot luJu-tnous
people, who are forced to eat the bread
of carefulness," and deny themselves the
luxuries, and mauy of them the ncces-a-
rtcs of life, in order to make "both ends
meet." On the other hide are these afllu
cnt and wealthy icot.le. multitudes of
whom have so changed the nature of their
material wealth that tho cues ore numer
ous where opuleut people- are now pay in
small local taxes. This, it is true, is le
gally riht, but it is, nevertheless, moral
ly wrong, and argument., lon and pro
fouud as the writings of iJcnlhain, would
be made in vain, to prove the contrary
The moral scni'j of mankind decides that,
so loti2 after tins war, it is not merely
morally wrong, but suffjeiaut cauws for
continual and anry lfUUthon. flusui
equality of burdens amiot exist, and not
fret and vex l in mease numbers of people.
Men do not usually complain of taxation
if the burdeu u at equally distributed a
it is po&ibld for Government to do it.
The clamor is absurd, indeed ridicu
lous, that injustice would be done if the
Government, with all the reasonable ex
ridition, revoked tho conditions of its
contract. They who, even in an early
period of the war, put their money into
Government securities, rati no risk, and
if they think so have probably had " the
oil of joy for mourning" sufficiently long
to make them forget tho peril their mon
cy encountered in going into the treasury
of the Uuitcd States. Some Govern
meuts, in their strait, have put out metal
lic currency at fixed value.", cut down its
own standard, and redeemed its obliga
tions at lower figures. The rulers of oth
er States, in times of public peril, have
compelled their opulent subjects to loan
their money to government at low figures
or no usury at all. Rut this Government
never did wrong to any of its subjects,
and would not, if it next winter made
moro manifest thau over its regard for
sheer justice and republican principles,
by placing all the people upon such a
foundation that all would sharo alike m
bearing the public burdens. New Uamp

What were those issues upon which the

and foremost that this is a white man's
government, made by white men for the
benefit of themselves and posterity, and
in all tunc to be ruled by white men.
This is the first important question which
the content so far as California is con
ccrncd, determines. It decides that the
Union, to preserve which the blood and
treasure of the nation was poured out like
water, tdiall be restored in fact as wtdl as
in name. It decides that the usurpers of
the Rump Congress shall no longer tram
ple, with impunity, npon the most valued
safeguards of civil liberty. It sets a ical
oi condemnation upon the atrocious oov
potism over the South, conceived by Radi
cal malice, to crush aud bind with the
chains of jl.ivcry, a gallant people. It
denounces the hideous scheme to African
iace ten States of the I'nion and give their
givenments, by fraud and force, into the
hands of ignorant, demoralized and nat-
rally savage negroes. It decides that the
great toiling millions are not to be made
