In the language of the resolutions referred £0, this allegation affords really an incontro- ‘vertible argument against negro suffrage: for if it is admitted that the right of suffrage is al- ready yitiated in this country through its exer- cise by large nembers of voters unfit for the | privilege, then it will be in the highest degree | dangerous and impolitic to still further de- teriorate and debase the alleged low average of The inmates, 120 in number, were all res- the white vote by adding to it the benighted, | cued, although the most of them were asleep iiliterate negroes, not one im a thousand of When the fire commenced, and the flames whom could tell if bis ballot was upside down | SPread rapidly under high wind.
