UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
The subjoined articles from British
ournals ou universal suffrage are of
special interest at this time, when the
question of impartial suffrage is up for
discussion before the country. They
contain the views of well balanced
minds on the subject, and are entitled
to a careful perusal:
[From the Scotsman.]
Universal Suffrage Discvssf.d in
England—Lord Macaulay’s Opis.
loss ox Popular Demonstrations—
The London Times Feelinu for the
Popular Current.
The following letter by Lord Macau
lav, hitherto unpublished, is, though
written pearly twenty-one years ago,
still so appropriate at this time, and oth
erwise so characteristic, that it will be
read with general interest. It was ad
dressed to one of his constituents here,
his Lordship being at the time member
for Edinburg, in reply to a letter refer
ring to some remarks made by Mr.
Macaulay in Parliament. The petition
referred to in the letter was the monster
Chartist petition, boasting of 3,000.000
signatures, presented by Mr. Duncombe
in July, 1842. In accordance with the
request in the opening sentence, the let
ter was not printed at the time ; but
there is no reason that it should not be
so now:
“Albany, London, Feb. 25, 1846.
“Sir : Nothing can be more temperate
and proper than your letter. 1 have
great pleasure in answering it promptly
and frankly. But I must beg that you
will not send what I write to the news
papers.
“You do not at all shake my opinion
—indeed, you confirm it. You tell me
that most of those who put their names
to the petition presented by Mr. Bun
combe did not know what it contained.
Now, I need not remind you that this
was no common petition. It was de
scribed as the national petition, as a man
ifesto of the unrepresented millions. It
was carried to Westminster with extraor
dinary pomp. The procession of banners
and devices stretched more than a mile.
Avery unusual motion was made on that
occasion in the House of Commons. It
was proposed that the petitioners should
be heard by their deputies at our bar.
1 think, therefore, that this was a docu
ment of very great importance—a docu
ment which no man ought to have
subscribed without understandiug its
purport. You assure me, however, that
the hundreds of thousands who signed
this solemn confession of political faith
had never looked at it- It was so long,
you say, that they could not read it.
Why, ten minutes \v< u 1 have sufficed
for the purpose. But ten minutes, it
seems, wouid have been more than these
people, who wanted.us to put the whole
government iuto their hands, could spare
for the consideration of a matter so
grave.
Rather than take the trouble of in
forming themselves, they set their hands
to any atrocious absurdity that was put
before them by a demagogue in whom
they reposed an unmerited confidence.
Observe, it is you, not I, who say all
this. 1 give lull credit to vonr state
merit. ButVhat is the inference? Js it
not this—that many, very many, of our
industrious, well-meaning fellow coun
trymen are not at present qualified to
exercise political functions with advan
tage to themselves and to the communi
ty? And observe that it is for this veiy
class that the Chartists claim, not a
share of power, but the whole govern
ment of the State. For, if universal
suffrage were established, such persons
as those who signed the national peti
tion, without knowing what it was,
would form the majority of every con
fitituent body, anil would return, not ten
members of Parliament, or one hundred,
but all the six hundred and fifty six.
Can a man of sense like you doubt on
what candidates the choice of such elec
tors would fall ? Can you doubt that
they would give their votes, as they
gave their signatures, in blind reliance
on worthless leaders ? You say that our
present legislators have committed er
rors. No doubt all governments err;
for all governments art; composed of
men; and you can no more make per
fect governments out of such imperfect
materials, than you can make a marble
palace out of bricks. But between the
errors into which our Parliaments have
too often fallen, and the errors of the
Chartists, there is, in my opinion, a
great distinction. The errors of our
Parliaments, however great, have not
been such as to kill the very root of na
tional prosperity.
On the contrary, you would, I appre
hend, admit that there is a general
tendency toward improvement; that
civilization advances; that science
makes constant progress; that many
abuses which were in full force within
our memory have disappeared, or are
last disappearing ; that, in short, most
of the changes which are made are
changes for the belter. I, therefore,
though I do not think our present sys
tein perfect, look on it with hope and
with complacency. But the Chartist
system, as set forth in the national
petition, would, I am certain, in no long
time, reduce us to a depth of misery
and degradation of which it is not easy
to form an idea. It would make Great
Britain, iu three generations, as barbar
ous an island as Madagascar. The
only chance of escape would be that

Some Cromwell or Nopoleon might be
able to establish a vigorous, orderly
military despotism. But I must stop.
“ 1 am, sir, your faithful servant,
“T. B. MACAULAY.
“ Mr. P. Anderson, 21 Lothian street.
Edinburgh.”
[From the London Timet, January 17. J
The posthumous testimony of great
uien on questions of our own day must
always he received with reserve. It
cannot be presumed that if they had
surveyed them from the vantage ground
of a contemporary position they would
have seen no reason to modify their
judgement. Had Chatham have lived
fifty years longer, he would certain
ly have recalled his dying protest
against the recognition of American
Independence; had Burk survived the
Great War and witnessed the Thirty-
Years Peace, he might have reconsid
ered his estimate of the French Revolu
tion ; had Canning been permitted to
see the Reform Bill bear fruit in Free
Trade, he would surely have retracted
the chief heresy in his political creed.
We must not claim any greater authority
for Lord Macaulay's emphatic declara
t-ion that Universal Suffrage “would
make Great Baitain, in three genera
tions, as barbarous an island as Mada
gascar.’’
The wisest and most far sighted of
men cannot forecast the possible changes
of circumstances and conditions which
so often falsify their prophesies. They
are compelled to assume the perma
nence of what they most inevitably
regard as the essential laws ot human
nature, but which history often shows to
he dependent on variable causes. The
whole letter, however, in which this
opinion of Lord Macaulay is recorded,
and wbicli appears iu another of our
columns to-day, well deserves an atten
tive study. It was written at the begin
ning of 1842, in reply to one of his
Edinburg constituents, who seems to
have challenged some of Lord Macau
lay’s remarks on the Chartist petition of
1842. His correspondent, Mr. Ander
son, seems to have maintained that per
sons signing that petition were not re
sponsible for all that it contained, inas
much as most of them bad never read
it. So lame a defense is, of course,
ridiculed by Lord Macaulay with char
acteristic vigor. He reminds Mr. An
derson that a petition bearing three
million signatures, described as a
national manifesto, carried to Westmin
ster with extraordinary pomp, accom
panied by a procession which stretched
more than a mile, and ushered iu by a
motion that the petitioners should be
heard by their deputies at the bar. was a
document of no ordinary character.
“You assure me, however, that the hun
dreds of thousands who signed this sol
enm confession of political faith have
never looked at it.
It was so long, you say, that they
could not read it. Why, ten minutes
would have sufficed for the purpose.
But ten minutes, it seems, would have
been more than these people, who
wanted us to put the whole government
iuto their hands, could spare for the
consideration of a matter so grave.
Bather than take the trouble of- inform
ingAhemselves,' ibey set th.ir hands to
any atrocious absurdity that was put up
before them by a demagogue in whom
they reposed an unmerited confidence.”
There is, obviously, no answer to this
argument, unless it be that memorials
on subjects of equal importance are
constantly signed by educated men with
equal recklessness. For instance, how
many ot the clergymen who, from time
to time, implore Convocation or the
Episcopal Bench, to put down theologi
cal errors have ever read, or would be
capable of understanding, the book they
specifically denounce? We do not un
dertake to say how far this illustration
weakens Lord Macaulay’s inference
“that many, very many, of our industri
ous, well meaning fellow countrymen
are not at present "qualified to exercise
political functions .vith advantage to
themselves and to the community.” At
all events, it is a monstrous and inde
fensible mockery of petitioning for peu—
'pie to claim from Parliament, as a sa
cred right, they know not what. So far
the most advanced Radicals must agree
with Lord Macaulay, but when he goes
on to point out that on Chartist princi
ples this very class would acquire the
entire control of the Government, his
conclusion would probably be disputed
by Reformers like Mr. Mill.
It can not, indeed, be denied that, if
universal suffrage were established, such
persons as those who signed the national
petition without knowing what it was
would form the majority of every con—
stitutuent body, and would return, not
ten members of Parliament, or a hun
dred, but all the six hundred and fifty
six. Such a prospect is quite sufficient
to deter all reasonable men from em
bracing the doctrine of universal suffrage,
at least until the way thall have been
prepared for it by the establishment of
universal independence and universal
education. Since, however, some down
ward extent ion of the franchise is con
templated by all parties, and all down
ward cxtention is open, in its degree, to
the same objection, it is important that
we should not exagerate the limits of
its application.
One thing is beyond question—the
lower we go in the social scale the less
political capacity we must expect to
find. It is simply impossible that the
persons engaged in daily manual labor
from the earliest age should possess
either the knowledge or the habits of
thought which are the result, not only
of mental training, but of leisure, of
travelling, and of a large acquaintance
with the world. But these arc not the
only qualifications for the exercise ot a
vole, nor must it be forgotten that work
ing men, like other classes, are, on the
whole, the most competent judges of
their own interests. Now, these in
terests form a very large element in
those national interests which every
statesman is bound to consult, and
upon this ground alone, without con
sidering the legitimate influences at
the command of the wealthier and more
educated classes, the presumption is in
favor of giving them a considerable
share of representation. Happily, ex- 1
perience does not altogether warrant
Lorn Macauley's conviction that "they
would give their votes, as they gave
their signatures, in blind reliance on
worthless leaders.”
It was proved last session that in some
borough constituencies the working
classes already command a majority,
and yet no mere professional agitator
has of late found his way into the House
ol Commons, Desperate as the experi
ment would be, we venture to doubt
AUGUSTA, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 16, 1867.
whether even universal suffrage would
realize in this country either the hopes
of its advocates or the fears of its oppo
nents. Its first effect would assuredly
be to increase the power of the landed
interest, and it would not be surprising
if it should subsequently develops a
demand for a “strong Government” of a
very different type from the Chartist
ideal ot democracy.
That idea would probably be now
repudiated by the Reform League itself.
Os the five points of the charter, one
has been conceded, without any serious
opposition, by the abolition of the prop
erty qualification for nfembers of Par
liameut. Two others—universal suf
frage and vote by ballot—are stil retain
ed in the Radical programme, though
Mr. Bright has again and again relused
his adhesion to the former. Annual
Parliaments and the payment of repre
sentatives are not, so far as we are
aware, among the measures which Mr.
Beales and his friends consider asseu
tial to our liberties and the right of ap
peal to physical force, which constituted
the favorite article of the extreme Char
tist creed, has been abandoned by gene
ral consent.
Lord Macaulay would, doubtless, have
admitted that, with all their faults, the
popular leaders of 1867 are less vision
ary and more scrupulous than Frost and
his associates. The blindness to their
own interests which prevented them from
including free trade amoug their claims,
and rendered them perfectly insensible
of a flagrant practical grievance while
they clamored for the abolition of ab
stract wrongs, cannot be imputed, in an
equal degree, to their successors. “The
errors of the Chartists” are errors of the
past, but have they no parallels iu the
present? Protection, in one form, may
be an obsolete illusion, but are there no
similar illusions cherished by our work
ing classes which, if sanctioned by legis
lation, would kill the very root of
national prosperity ?
If there be. Lord Macaulay’s counsels
are still opportune. Let us gradually
enlarge the basis of our Constitution,
and admit to the franchise those who are
likely to vote intelligently and honestly,
without unworthy misgivings lest it
should disturb a supposed equilibrium
ofjdasses. Let us not, however, en
courage theories which have no founda
tion, historical, legal, or metaphysical,
by entertaining any proposal to confer
the rights of citizenship upon those who
discharge none of its duties.

FERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
Milt
STILL TRIUMPHANT!
\ ND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL
I\. by innumerable living witnesses, has
proved itself to be
THE MEDICINE OF THE AGE.
Although there have been many med;ci
nnl preparations brought before tho public
since tho first introduction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer, and large amounts
expended iu their introduction, the Pain
Killer has continued steadily to advance in
the estimation of the world as the best
family medicine ever introduced. As an
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
source of
Joy to the World!
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
the sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merits, as the proprietors have
Dot resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank it now holds among Li e great number
of preparations of tho present time. The
eflect of the Pain Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in cases of Colds,
Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Choleia, Dys
entery, and other affections of tho system,
has been truly wonderful, and has won for
it a, name among medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in
removing pains, as an external remedy, in
cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of
suffering, has secured for it such a host of
testimony, as an almost infallible remedy,
that it will be handed down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fects of the Pain Killer, when taken or used
according to directions, are certain. You
have only to be sure that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the directions
in its use, and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is
now put up in panel bottles, with the words
Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the
glass; and with two steel engraved labels
on each buttle—one an excellent likeness oi
Porry Davis, the original inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
hand. None others can be relied upon as
genuine. Prices of bottles 12£ cents, 25
cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively.
Valuable 3fedicii>e —Wc presume no
medical preparation over offered to the pub
lic has been more thoroughly tested than
PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. Thou
sands of persons, were they called upon to
do so, would cheerfully testify that they
have used it for various ills, with tho most
satisiactory success. It is within our own
knowledgo that an immense amount of suf
fering has been relieved by it. Its pro
prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, save
no pains or expense in order to satisfy tho
fublic. Being strictly honorable men, they
observe tho utmost uniformity in the man
ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer.
The materials of which it is composed are
carefully selected—none but the best quality
being used. By these means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer has long since
acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tained. In view of these facts, we are by
no means surprised to learn that Messrs.
Davis <fc Son’s sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. While we congratulate
our friends generally that so valuable a
preparation as the Puin Killer is placed
within their reach, wo must be permitted to
rejoice at tho well-merited success of its
liberal and outerprising proprietor.—J\ovi
