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-

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-

Jlpay be trije that occasionally we
may have il good officer, who in

hut oven tlmt will- not hing he so.
Thiiveoridiict must m-cvssarily noon

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
