THE EVENING STAR. «. JANUARY 29, 1963, THURSDAY. “ev REAPING MATTER ON EVERY PAG SRE OUTESDR FOR INTERETING TAL GRAPHIC AND OTUBR MATTE SPIBIT OF THB MORMING PEED The intelisgencer is occupied with news mat- termto-day. The Chronicle, noticing Mr. Thuriow Waad’s retirement from the Albany Arening Jovrnsl, aad commenting upon his waledictory, thinks the defection of aman of Mr. Weed’s promi- menoe and influence from his party an evidence thst it is not safe at present io fullow old party faders and practiced politicians ; but the pres- ent exponents of public opinion should be men cirect from the masees of the people. — a THE PROPOSKD NEGRO ALYY Congres devoted last nicht to wrandiiog Over the proposition to raise an arms of taree buncred thousand negroes. Cui tero*® To meme whatever, it strikes us; insomuc! as to Trais any such force will prove utiecly im- pessilie. The radicals who have been busy D inducing the negroes to believe thezuf they will volunteer they will secure social, indus- teini snd political rights in the United States eqwai to those of whites, have thorouchly pre- consider. able numbers until assured by Conzressional action that theee promises of invirs will be dey carried out. Besides, they are weil Qware that the rebels will grant them uo quar- wer if falling into their hands. Graated that such & course on the part ef the revels will dead to retaliation on our part. That will not wend the matter for the negro; being calcu- lated simply to render it more certain that ho will be inexorably museacred if made a pris- oner. Congress will not vote the negro sol+ier s0- ial, industrial and political equality with th white-, as four-fifths of the dominant party ia the body are well aware that to favor such a proposition would be the political death war- rant of those of them who give such vo: What we write above has referci: idea of getting volunterrs from among Regrors Low ir the loyal States and within o military lines. The President's emancipaticn p: has already rencered it certain few can now be obtained fro yet Reld hy the oligarchy brief campaign of Pope, took no meas Ferove them from the possibility of con with our armies. Since, however, they have adopted the policy of driving them away into the interior wherever they are threatened by @ur presence in military array. The conse- Queuce is that, go where our armies may, now, mot one flies to them for protection wher did in the beginning of the contest. The & cipatior proclamation has so stimulated th Vigilance of the rebel authorities in ihia Tespect, that instead of increasing the Proportion of negroes who get away under the shadow of Outs armi.6, it is being rapidly lessened. Granted, @gain, that when we shall have reached aad subdued the last rebel fastress we shall be abl> to free all their negroes, if our Governinent then remains co disposed. But until then it is very certain that they will be removed far before the footfall of our armies. Three hundred thousand additional troops are absolutely necessary long before the ist of May, as some time must be allowed to organize and drill them before putting them in the fleld. ees any sane man believe that that nnmb ror ‘Bny considerable number of negro volunteers can be procured in the reqnired time under the ciroumstances stated above, which are literaliy ‘waet We think not. If procured, however, is there not imminent danger that their employ- Ment in the field on an equality with the white treops will lead to dissensions in our armies Producing results fearful to contemplate—dis- S n6.ons amounting to the culmination of the Pro-negro mania, amid which that bubble will be @t and succumb to the inevitable determina. ticm of the white race of this continent not to sbare their privileges of Citizenship, one and ail, °quaily witb the millions of negross within ts Mmite. It is sincerely to be hoped that Cenzress will sot adjourn under the impression that, h ving authorized the raising of a volunteer force of three hundred thouxand negroes, they bay done all that may be necessary to counteract the effect of the discharge of abont that numb-r ef whites by the Ist of May, from our service, and, also, to counteract the plan of the oligarchy (surely to be carried out) to conscript before that time anu addition of one hundred and fity thousand more whites. ae THURLOW WeeD.—See elsewhere in the Ster & brief extract from the eloquent, PAtriotic and feeling address of Tharlow Weedon dissolving his thirty-three years’ coanection with the Albany Evening Journal. Tume and again be has refused an United States Senatorship at the hands of the Legislature of New York. Nevertheless, we believe that he will beel-cted to that position now, over the earnest protest against the use of his name for the place he is understood to have made. If the democrats ‘will be content with the election ofa thoroaghly Joyal man, whose experience and abilities will make him the most useful person in the Gov- eroment to the justend of restoring the Union aad the supremacy of the Constitution, he can surely be elected, as half the republicans of the Lezisisture—all of them not hopelessly aboli- tioris-d—will sustain him in preference to any Other living man. If, however, they will have mone other than an abolitionist or a semi. ' Secessionist, they will surely be unable to elect ome of the Iatter stripe; and will deservedly get 1m'o popular disfavor by and through the preva- lence of thr belief that they are rendering but lip ser vice tothe Union cause, farmore rapidly than they Dave of late gained strength and power. ten New Portications.— From Peterson & Bro-.
