If there is any one thing that a true American likes to see-more than another 'it is fair play. In the early history of this country, when the British government sought to impose burdensome taxes upon the people of the colonies without representation in Parlia- ment, they instinctively remonstrated, and in the end rebelled against it as not being fair play. So again in the year of 1812, when British seamen boarded our merchant vessels on the high seas and assumed the right to press into their service American Citizens who chanced to still retain their avoided; for if true, the eitidn.! of liberty is attacked at its most vital point. The ballot box has been rightly termed the Palladium of Democracy, for it is thro' this that majorities are known and express.-: ed. Ve can not be unmindful of its im- portance, or exercise too much care for its purity. By the agency of war citizenship was conferred upon the black man. Whether it was ri~ht to do so, whether it was most ex- pedient lo do so, we will not now stop to consider. That they are citizens is sufficient. They n ay be ignorant and simple, then the more indefensible the policy which robs them or lessens their lights. The pugilist even, would hesitate to strike his antagon- earlv English, Scotch or Irish accent, on the ist when down. specious plea, \once a citizen always a citi-1 The question is asked, and with candor zen,\ the people rebelled against it, and | too, what are we going to do about it, how, onre move with sword in hand demanded or in what way are wu to correct this abuse? fair play. I Each slate has the right to make its own This principle seems firmly implanted in local law-, i-u-liiiliupr all laws leguluting the the American mind. It is characteristic of sufferage.. Tiue, but suppose the legislatuie them, and we rejoice that it is so, for it is of a state should pass an act absolutely dis- a noble one. It is the blood of the fathers franchising the black man. This would be embalmed in the hearts of their children, • in conflict with the Constitution of the gen- and can not die. We are firm believers in retributive justice. The wrongs practiced by a nation, by a people or an individual must, sooner or later, meet with their de- served punishment. From it there is no possible escape. It is verified upon almost every page of the world's history. Nor lives sacrificed, and the consequent agony to fathers and mothers, who still survive over the loss of dear and cherished sons,- is a fav- rible, yet truthful vindication of this doctrine of retribution; and also a further illu'stra- . tion of our subject. The 'growing public sentiment against the curse of slavery, cul- minating in war, was only the reviving in the hearts of our people, the sentiment of fair play. The oppression of the weak by the strong was repulsive to Americans. It was contrary to the principles of liberty, for which so much had been sacrificed, con- trary to the principles of justice and right. In view of the past, would it not be wis- dom to pause and consider whether there are not still other wrongs to be redressed. We hear much of the suppression of the ballot in the southern states, of fraud upon the ballot box, not only there, but elsewhere. These reports may be grossly exaggerated. They eome to us through the medium of the press, hence equa'iy available to all, and each can judge of their truthfulness We must make all due allowance for partisan Was. But the truth should be known that the wrong may be corrected md the .dangc PBTRIE—BEADLE. At the M. K. parsonage, in Hammond N. Y., June 30, 1886, by Rev. Isnae Jenkins, Mr. John B.
