A enrtr or more active n^ent for sapping the foundatiofts of public "virtac could be well im- .i^iyed. ' It wuijld appear to be im possible lor u people to"be‘ Secure in their prson© and property, if the administration of their offices be entrustedj not trrpersons of fyer- it-freely chosen, but to whoever lias the money, to control votes. C)ne pf the grandest, spectacles is to bey a fi'eg people go to the 1 Mil lot box uftJ infeiligenny se lect from' the great body of citizens a few for the coiiUol of public •affairs. One The LvI(h of Uiirclmking Votes PwlrfteU Out. It its pri ibable tlmt there is as MiuuU good io tliii world aal tin re over was. The prifjiu iutorqalu of Juimauilj are Uuiuy; every Will re uoij-idui and nitoinothd, and as Icitig ns tlm f iV. tbc'JjaBo there is not likely to b j a divRy of indi vidua! or public Virtue their elm-meters from the typo or character borne by their citizdns. With uii liottebt popple there can not long bo a dishonest. govern ment;, nor ia there likely to be am honest government with a dishon est people. Socie ty, in its organ-, i^ed character, will fepi'esent the vivtueis or vices of the unorganized people. The high position held by our govMlnneut among the n;t lions of the oartli pretty clearly es tablishes that our people are as pure as those of any race or tongue. The downfall of nations in iy gen erally be traced to the vicos of their people. Individual vice is an at tack upon the general welfare. If checked and held in disrepute, it docs not' become of appreciable weight in public aflSaivs; if iostered and allowed to pass unrebuked, it will spread from man to man until it becomes u factor m government, brings reproach upon tho people, and at last dictates its own terms. Whatever the vicious practice may be,if it tends to demoralize! the people, and endanger the public welfare, tho man who resorts to it is a public, enemy. He may not mean to be so ; the general tenor #f his way may be free from just censure, and he may be called a good citizen, but in truth he, in •this respect is a bad citizen. Governments are instituted for the good of the people, its officoR are places of public trust, and ifr officers are public servants. These offices, in theory, are coni erred by the voluntary suffrage of free men •n persons who are fit to bo en- a. l-lii-ivi-i Tlio -thonrv trusted with them. I he theory faithfully observed would promote the general welfare and meet the ends of government. At present this theory is unobserved and prac tically public offices are the toys of individual ambition, put up at public outcry, to he gained by the the most liumrliuiting sights is to public uiUirs entrusted, by a pruistitt^’cm of the elective (run- vl?W$» f° M 19 iften wht) are, willing to pay the most ujoney for it, Tt Jlpay be trije that occasionally we may have il good officer, who in 1 Hi spirant) dr hut* procured his office, hut oven tlmt will- not hing he so. Thiiveoridiict must m-cvssarily noon result y» oultuig uff all show of de cency. It it} idle to fix the respdn sibiiity for this condition aud it is ubcIom to ask why it eainu about. T^mt it u" li^ro is enough for us. It matters (iot 'what plausible pretext may he asserted, tho real cause lies in •ihoVal obliquity. In what ever name it may hate baen done, it wus wrong and deep down at, the very, bottom of it lay,, net the pub lic gpod, hut boric other purpose <ir interest. The public interest uevar aeinajuds the perforrriatiee of a demoralizing 1 act. Good order and general prosperity never grow ovt of iniquity. It is ub excuse for tbe employment of improper means to carry an election, to say that thereby tho best manor party was placed in power. No man or party is essential, to dip life of Uio •State oiqnatfon. Men, parties tern po T arily shape the. policy of th<5 gov ernment upd there may bo a dii- lerence id their value and power for good, but tltic worst fnAn or par ty cannot destroy it if the people be hue. It is tar hotter that the worst man or'party should go for the . time into .power, tlmn that the host man or party should bo placed there ’ at the cost of the demoralization of tho people. It is oitr duly to fol low the truth and the right, even though defeat, for the time, be cfor- tain. The disappointment of the patriot, ami the disappointment of th mere politician, sve two, very different and distinct things. Tbe public lmy.e au interest in the free ballot, and whoever buys or sells it should go under thp ban of public opinion and also snffef- the legal penalty. To employ a man to work in a canvass dr election, or to be employed for that purpose, should be made a penal olfen;;e. This 1ms become a regular business, and the professional .“b.nimper.” white and black, will go to a can- didale and seek employment just as if he supposed it to h# legiti- limte. A portion of tho colored vote is reached in this way, through men of their own color, who are paid to do it. The whiles owg it to themselves, ns well as to the col j ored peuple, to sot a hotter exam ple than this. It would not ha sur prising if tho’ colored man should not appreciate the true value of the right of RuffVage. Kufc a few years ago he knew nothing about it,'and his exercise of it since the right Was conferred has beau under cir cumstances unfavorable to his mak ing a proper estimate of its value. The day the while man undertook, by improper means, to control the colored vote was a sad one for both races. Instead of teaching the col ored voter to exerciee the right with the cautious deliberation that became a free man, he hag been taught to use it as a means of get ting a drink of whiskey, a poor ci gar, and in exceptional cases, a lit tle silver change. Whatever cen sure may attach to the colored vo ter for each conduct, it does not bearnna the white man, who uses him to pronounce it. The intelli gent and virtuous of both races should take this matter in hand, sup press it, just as they would unite to meet any other evil that endanger ed the ; public safety. It is tho mbit dangerous element fbatlhreat ens onr Welfare. The majesty of tfilelaw and roepoct for public offi cers, are essential to our liberty. How can they be preserved unless the sanctity of the ballot box he re stored and it again ho understood that merit, and not money, is the Stlre passport to public favor. 1 lvive in mind no particular mail, election, locality or party. I write witliQU| prejudice, and free ( from e\'ery'wisli, except to proinotc 1 the' happiness of our people of both ra ces. Tliis'great evil lliay lie c-»r- reclod mid the consequence avert ed, if the people will cobsitler nod act. Let tho. purpose to serve the, impenled public interest be formed and expressed and tho. salvmion will come. The high resolve that called the brave people of England around their queen at tho approach of the Spanish armada was the same that animated the determined ranks of Wellington at Waterloo—the English mind was made up to save England.—Jno.
