THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 19, 1875. ~
THE PRIME CAUSE OF TROU
BLE.
While ex-Senator Doolittle, of Wis
consin, a Republican and formerly a
bosom friend of Lincoln, is boldly re
canting his ancient heresies, and de
claring that unqualified negro suffrage
and negro office holding have been the
curses of this country and are, rapidly
whirling its liberties and prosperity to
destruction, the mulatto man, Fre
debick Douglass is clamoring for more
honor and previlege for what he calls
“his race,” just as if a mulatto or mule
man had any specific race at all. He
says:
We have waited long, and may have to
wait longer, before we receive in full meas
ure the liberty of perfect American citizen
ship, but that full measure will come, and
it will come through the same influences
and the same political party through
which we have reached our present politi
cal status. But if not through this, then
through some other political party, for no
conceivable condition of the politics of this
country can for any long period keep
eight hundred thousand voters out of the
brotherhood of equal citizenship.
That the negroes are to be benefited
to the extent hoped for by Douglass,
wo gravely doubt. But it is clear to
our mind that, sooner or later, they
will lose all power and ultimately be
come as near extinction on this conti
nent as the aborigines. They have no
means of recruiting from abroad ; they
do not increase but, on the contrary
decrease rapidly in population; the
birth rate among them has diminished
and the mortality rate fearfully aug
mented. The Southern white man will
not drive them forth, unless provoked
to do so ; but their so-called Yankee
friends will crowd them to the wall
finally. Every additional privilege
they get politically is another nail in
their coffin, for it brings them more
fiercely in competition with the stronger
race which has prevailed always over
inferior races and must continue to do
so unless Henry Wilson, Wendell
Phillips and such philosophers are
Shore potential than God Almighty. We
would advise the colored men not to
take much stock in Fred Douglass. He
was made a catspaw by white rascals in
Washington to prevent them from sav
ing their funds deposited in the Freed
man’s Bank. He is now playing into
the hands of Northern marplots who
destroyed slavery, ruined the slave
owner and are now intoxicating the
freedmen with. self-conceit and vain
glory, only to accomplish their grand
design of war and reconstruction—the
possession of the South in fee simple.
While Doolittle and Douglass, the
white and colored Republicans, are at
issue, behold the New York World
comes to the front in a double-leaded
leader, which concludes as follows :
Free institutions can hardly survive the
incapacity both of Southern negroes and
of Northern Republicans, for self-govern
ment. *
We accept the World’s conclusion
with one amendment, and that is this :
Free institutions can hardly survive
the incapacity of Southern negroes,
the fanaticism of Northern Radicals,
and the stupidity of Democrats who
accept the infernal causes of all our
woe, South as well as North, as
finalities never to be questioned or re
pealed. From the two infamous
amendments spring, as from a natural
fountain, all the deviltry of Grant and
all the villany of Wilson. How any
Democrat can subscribe to those
amendments, pledge himself never to
disturb them, and then hope for the
preservation of the free institutions of
this country, passes the'comprehension
of men who never feil into the trap
of expediency, and never voted for one
lie simply because they had been
caught in another.
We ape glad that an ex-Republican
Seqator like Doolittle has brought
this question before the public. He, at
least, is not deceived with the clap-trap
that a people once enfranchised can
never be outlawed or forbidden to vote.
He knows full well that several hundred
thousands of brave men, many of them
worn with war and many the offspring
of revolutionary sires, white men all of
them, were disfranchised immediately
after the civil conflict, in 1865, and
that they submitted to the imposition.
What happened to them may happen
to an inferior race. It has already
happened to the negroes in the District
of Columbia, by the vote of a Radi
cal Congress, and it is just as
easy of accomplishment elsewhere,
Universal suffrage was knocked into
pi, jin the District, because it had ful
filled its purpose in wholesale robbery,
and had become a scandal and an
abomination. When it grows beyond
endurance elsewhere, and more espe
cially when it helps beggar the Yan
kees, as it will finally, away it will go,
unless indeed the Democracy protect
it, and that millennium predicted by the
Chicago Tribune shall come to pass,
when Sambo will be treated to cock
tails by both parties among the white
men, and Dinah’s black baby, with its
effusive nostrils, shall be kissed loving
ly in order to get votes for Hon. “ Pis
mire Honey-Fggple ” or Col. Loaves
and-Fishes.
Habeas Corpus. —“l am sorry for
your people.” “Why?” ashed Lau
rels. “ They will lose their habeas
corpus,” was the reply. *• Lose their
habeas corpus! exclaimed Laurens.
“Yes,” said Lord Shelburne, “ we pur
chased it with centuries of wrangling,
many years of fighting, and had it
confirmed by at least fifty acts of Par
liament. All this taught the nation its
value, and it is so ingrained into their
creed, as the very foundation of their
liberty, that no man or party will ever
dare trample on it. Your people will
pick it up and attempt to use it; but
having cost them nothing they will not
know how to appreciate it. At the
first great internal feud you have, the
majority will trample on it, and the
people will permit it to be done, and so
wiil go your liberty.” Does Congress or
the President know anything of this
prophecy, and are they endeavoring to
prevent or promote its fulfillment?

DISPATCHER
CONGRESSIONAL.
A Long Speech. Opposition to Pinch
back. Proposition for a New Elec
tion in Louisiana.
Washington, February 18.— Senate.—
Senator Merrimon, of North Carolina,
closed a six hour’s speech at nine this
morning.
Edmunds, at 9:30 this morning, of
fered the following amendment: To
strike out the resolution seating Pinch
back and insert that the Committee on
Privileges and Elections be and it is
hereby instructed to report forthwith
a bill declaring that no constitutional
government exists in Louisiana, and
providing for the election of a Gover
nor, Lieutenant-Governor andjnembers
of the General Assembly for Louisiana,
and all other State officers which are
by the constitution of that State elec
ted by the people of that State.
Ransom, of North Carolina, then
took the floor, and spoke at length on
the desire to restore peace between
the North and South.
The House adjourned at half past
eleven o’clock last night, without ac
tion on the Telegraph bill. •
Debate on Louisiana. The Question
Tabled. The Tariff Bill in the
House. The Force Bill Reported.
Thurman said the question before
the Senate was not a question for Con
gress, but a question for the Senate
alone. If there is to be an extra ses
sion, this resolution could be consider
ed then, and it seemed to be admitted
on all hands that an extra session of
the Senate would be convened on the 4th
of March. He believed it was the first
duty of the Senate to provide means
to carry on the Government, and would
therefore move for taking up the ap
propriation bills.
Morrill, of Maine, said he was dis
posed to regard this resolution entire
ly as an order of business, and, with
the view to getting the Indian Appro
priation bill before the Senate, he
moved to lay the resolution on the
table upon this question. The yeas
and nays were ordered, and the reso
lution was tabled—yeas, 39 ; nays 22,
as follows :
Yeas—Allison, Anthony, Bayard,
Bogy, Conkling, Cooper, Davis, Dennis,
Eaton, Edmunds, Fenton, Frelinghuy
sen, Goldth waite, Gordon, Hager, Ham
ilton, of Maryland; Hamilton, of
Texas ; Ingalls, Johnston, Kelly, Mc-
Creery, Merrimon, Morrill, of Maine ;
Morrill, of Vermont; Norwood, Ran
som, Robertson, Saulsbury, Schurz,
Scott, Sprague, Stevenson, Stockton,
Thurman, Tipton, Wadleigh, Wauu
burn, Windom and Wright—39.
Nays—Boreman, Cameron, Chandler,
Clayton, Conover, Cragin, Ferry, Mich.
Flanigan, Hamlin, Harvey, Howe, Jones,
Logan, Morton, Oglesby, Patterson,
Pratt, Ramsey, Sargent, Spencer, Stew
art and West, 22.
Terry, of Conn., who would have
voted in the affirmative was paired
with Boutwell, who would have voted
in the negative. West moved the
Senate adjourn. Rejected—yeas, 6 ;
nays, 52.
Windom, of Minn., moved the Senate
proceed to the consideration of the In
dian Appropriation bill.
The Indian Appropriation bill was
taken up and the Senate adjourned.
House —The House spent three hours
on the Tariff bill. All amendments
offered by opponents of the measure
were voted down, but an amendment
was adopted, on motion of Dawes, in
creasing the tax on domestic cigars
from $5 to $6 per 1,000, and on cigar
ettes from $3.50 to $3.75.
Having got through the first two
sections of the bill, the whiskey and the
tobacco sections, the committee rose
and the House took up as a special
order the bill reported by Stanard. of
Missouri, from the Committee on Com
merce, for the improvement of the
mouth of the Mississippi river on the
Eads’ jetty system.
The House passed tha Eads bill
without division. It then resumed the
Tariff bill, and the third section abol
ishing tax on matches was struck out.
The fourth section, increasing duties
on molasses and sugars 25 per cent.,
was amended by including melada. —
The committee then rose, and Coburn,
of Indiana, reported the caucus Force
bill, which was ordered printed and re
! committed.
ADDRESS IO THE SOUTH-.
Wise Counsel from Southern Senators
and Representatives In Congress.
Washington, February 18. —The fol
lowing address has just been prepared
by the Democratic members of the
South and Southwest:
To the People of the Southern States:
You have confided to the undersign
ed in this conjuncture of affairs, the
delicate aud difficult task of guarding
in the Federal Congress your public in
terest, your rights and reputation.
You will, therefore, pardon the liberty
we take of addressing you at a period
so critical upon a matter affecting your
destiny, and that of your posteri
ty. You cannot have failed to observe
the persistent efforts of some of thp
leaders of the Republican party to re
vive the animosities of the late war,
which happily are fast giving place to
a spirit of concord and unity in every
section of our common country. It is
impossible'to predict certainly the ef
fect of these appeals to passion. We
believe that, through the honest rep
resentation of a few upright and con
scientious Federal officers and agents,
an independent and able public press,
and of many citizens, without regard to
party, the true condition of the Southern
States, and the real sentiment of the
Southern people are being gradually
made known to our fellow-citizens of
the North. We hope for their favor
able decision when fully apprised of all
the facts. The great ends of good
government will be reached when the
people of all sections forget that we
have ever been enemies—and come to
gether again as in the early days of
the republic, emulating each other only
in devotion to the best interests of the
whole country. With this exalted pur
pose in view, there is nothing inconsis
tent with the honor and manhood of a
brave people to resolve to suffer with
heroic patience whatever be their pro
vocations and wrongs, looking through
the fearful present to a hopeful future
and repelling unjust epithets and gra
tuitous insults with dignified modera
tion. Let every white man in every
neighborhood in the whole South re
gard himself as a commissioner of
peace, maintaining the kindliest rela
tions toward the black man, and re
membering that the responsibility for
the extreme poverty to which we have
been reduced, and the corrupt govern
ments to which his vote has subjected
us, rests not so much upon him as upon
the bad men who, with the assurance
of Federal support, have, by appeals
to his worst passion, sought to make
him our enemy, while we labor by all
honest means to convince him of the
truth that our interest and his are
identical, and that both must be pre
served by good government, and that
those who stir up strife between
us are the enemies of both races,
at the same time, that he is fully
protected in his guaranteed rights to
vote as he pleases in all elections. Let
us continue to deal with him honestly
and fairly, and let us continue cordi
ally to invite to our midst those of any
political party who either seek to know
the truth or to find homes upon our
soil.
We do not exaggerate when we ad
monish you of the disheartening fact
that every street disturbance, every
homioide of whatever character, by
whomsoevei committed, by black or
white, Republican or Democrat, such
as are incident to every commuuity
upon earth, is perverted into evidence
of a spirit of lawlessness and violence,
and a purpose to accomplish political
ends. We well know the gross injus
tice of such charges, which have weight
only where ignorance of our true con
dition prevails.
Strenuous efforts are now being
made by those who misrepresent you
to induce the passage by Congress of
the most dangerous measures, in or
der to irritate our people, drive them
to despair, and to provoke them to
violent outbreaks in order to furnish
an excuse for applying for military in
terference. We express the hope that
a majority of the present Congress
will not be found ready to sanction
such legislation. If it be accomplish
ed, it would be against the pro
test not only of Democrats, but
of the moral worth and the statesman
ship here of the party in power, and
of such Republicans as Bryant, Evarta,
Charles Francis Adams and others,
whose patriotism and sense of justice
are known to the entire country. We
may, however, be mistaken. The most
extreme,oppressive and unconstitution
al measures may be imposed upon you.
In such an event we would appeal to
the wisdom and patriotism of a long
suffering people by every hope of the
future for continued forbearance and
hopeful reliance upon the virtue and
sense of justice of the American peo
ple, for the ultimate vindication of our
rights, the protection of our liberties,
and the safety of our Republican form
of Government.

CONSUMPTIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schem -k’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored toghealth,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show: but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medi
cines, according to directions. Dr. Schenck
certifies that most any case of Consumption
may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters
for advice must be addressed.
