PEBRINE’S CASE UNDER INVESTIGATION i 4 Unquiry Regarding Sherman’s Truce with Johnston. ‘THE MEXICAN EMIGRATION SCHEME -A Mexican Loan Soon to be Offered to Capitaiists, Ke. Wastanarox, May 12, 1866. GREAT GUNS AND AMMUNITION CARRIED INTO TEXAS FOR KIRBY SMITH. Oficial information has been received at the Navy Department, that on the 28th of April a vessel cleared at Havana for Galveston, Texas, on which were shippod twelve Whitworth guns, a hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, and other war material, for the use of the rebels ip that section. It may be that the rebels of the ‘Trans-! ippi have not yet experienced enough of ‘the horrors of war to inclive them to peace; but unless the expected surrender of Kirby Smaith is soon recelved, ‘thoy will find that their case has not ‘been neglected by General Grant, and that they will experience the full ‘benefit of overwhelming Union armies.

NEGRO’ SUFFRAGE. The Anti-Slavery Society in Cooper Institute. SPEECH BY WENDELL PHILLIPS. Land and the Ballot for the Negro. Sef. Davis Mot to be Hung on a “Sour Apple Tree.” ‘The Stone Which the Builders Rejected, &e., &., Se. ‘The Anti-Slavery Society held a meeting at the Cooper Institute last eveming, the attendance at which filled every par#of the spacious lecture room. Negro suffrage ‘Was th subject discussed, all the stronger arguments in faver of which, as advanced by the speakers, were loudly applauded. The moeting being called to order, ‘Mr. Wana, Panuars came forward, amid applause, ‘and proceeded to address the audience. He said:—In 1789 the question of individual liberty had received the activity of war as much as in the present ime, In 1789 Massachusetts had liberated her glaves. The other New England States and New Yook looked to this result. Mary- land, through Pinckney, looked forward to the same result, Virginia, head of the slave States, was quiescent under the rule of Marshall, White, Jefferson and Madison, and these great mea were all friends to abo- Utionism. South Carolina and Georgia had taken no action. What sky could be brighter? Beneath the yeasty waves of the Revolution the sky above was glow- ing with the effulgence of those eminent men. But, s Napoleon said, fifteen minutes decides the victory, In these fifteen minutes our fathers slept, and South Carolina took advantage of it, with a little seed of cotton, to sow widespread tho seeds of slavery. With that lesson before them we required vigilance to see that by no miatake of any kind this har- vont, 80 costly, should not be fully reaped. This year’s svork will be far ahead of anything the nation ever did bofore. But that was not the question. ‘he question ‘Was, will this difference of blood ever be alienated from our creed? (Applause.) Tho question that pressed upon the conscience of the Anti-Slavery Soclety was to wipe from evory statute book in the States the word “white. ’? Applause.) A little time ago It was thought that slavery was stronger than ever, and one branch of the society changed front and detormined that the constitution must de usmuiled. The war came, and God dashed the system to plocos by the thunderbolt of battle. The other side of the line the people were subdued, not convinced. It was vain to suppose that » South who took such a front against the Union waa convinced now. It will take a whole generation to make the South sub- missive to the change. No reasonable man can expect that the Southern white men, aga mass, will cordially ‘accept the change. .We canuot indict » State, and wo cannot take vengeance on the seetion we have subdued. Our safety does not he in the oxtermination of these mon. It might be said to those men, as Uncle Toby said to the insect that 80 troublod him; he would not orush the in- fect, but, Putting it out of the wintiow, be said, “There is rom enough In the world, poor thing, for thee and me.’ Hix philesophy was, that while men desired to be guarded against the sin of wicked men, his prayer was to be protected from the sin of good men. The sins of ttle men are of little account, for they have no intlaence and no example. It was the mistakes of those whom every ono trusted that was treason to the nation. If the; looked at the records of politicians they wou find that there was mo recegnition for negro sereee Mr. Sumner on this question rallied round him but eleven Senators, some of them and six only of his party joined him. With cis farce he man. aged—honorably, iously, bravely, putriotically managed—to defeat by parii ty tactics the re- admission of Louisiana into the Union with her feet on the righta of the negro, Senator Trumbull sald that triu:nph was transient and would be defeated when a full vote could be trken upon it. He knew too woll the great good that arose frou State sovereignty to debar the com: finerations of that sovorcignt:, This war showed that our fathers {rusted & degree ofsovereigaty to the States which was not admissable to the national life.
