TU negro suffrage men tell ur that
ae Massachusetts and Rome other Eas*
tern States have not yet felt any in*
convenience Irotn bluck votes, there*
fore Connecticut tright, with perfect
safety, strike “white” froui our cousti*
tution. Butoeircamstances have enti*
rely ehauged since Massachusetts and
thus: S'ates who always follow her
lead, allowed the few n crroes within
their borders to vote. Then there was
hardly a haudfull of negro ballots that
ojuld be scraped together there. The
constitution of the United States, and
the fugitive laws under it prevented
the runaways irorn the South from
coming among us. But now all this
in done away with. The door is now
wide open—the negroes are coming
here in shoals; we already feel it keen
ly in New Haven —and the Eastern
States will soon b k overrun with them
besides the vagabonds who come to
rob. steal and vote, of their own ac~
cord —the leading radicals in New
England will no doubt bring on, or
hire to come, thousands of others, to
do their voting, just as they hired the
Southern blacks to do their fighting;
when they wanted their own brothers
and sons to stay at home, with this
difference, however: The negro soL
diers that they recruited and put in
the ranks on the conditions that they
should never hold commissions as of
ficers. The black troops were to be
commanded by white offic< rs —much
the sune as they worked under white
overseers when serving on Southern
plantations. But when we make “elec
tors'* of negroes in Connecticut, we
make them eligible to the highest oK
fices in the State —for the constitu
tion says that, all electors shall be eli
gible to the office of Governor, or any
other office. This is going miles be
yond anything ever contemplated by
either Abraham Lincoln or Andrew
Johnson. When canvassing Illinois
with Judge Douglass, Mr. Lincoln
said r
‘*Judsre Douglass has said to you
that he has not been able to ger from
me an answer to the question whether
lam in favor of negro cit zensh : p ?
far as I know the Judge never ask- j
cd rac that question before. He shall
never ha,oe occasion to ask it. an ciin,
for 1 tell him frankly 1 am not in
favor of negro citizenship. My opin
ion is that the different States have .
the power to make a negro a citizen
of the United States if they choose.— ;
The Dred Scott decision says they have ;
not that power. 1 thndd be. opposed j
to the exercise of it. * * * lam
not, and never have been, (said Mr.
Lincoln,) in favor of making voters or
jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying
them to hold office.
Andrew Johnson took the same
ground in Tenriesse. Is it not unreas
onable, lor the Radical State Conven
tion in Connecticut, to now ask honest
and consistent republicans in this State
to ti ke high r ground than Abraham
Linco'n would take, in his own State,
Illino 1 s—or Andrew Johnson in his
ow’n Tennessee ?
It may be very convenient for the
radical leaders, not only to make vo..
tors of the Southern negroes brought
here—but to make these blacks take
the p ! aces of those white working
men who now think and vote indepen
dently ot any master; in other words,
to trample down the laboring whites
by the rushing in of legions of blacks.
At any rate, it is but reasonable to
doubt the sincerity of the liberal
views put forth by them—when we re
member that the Chairman of the
State Committee, who i r es for ihem
this universal black suffrage—but a
iew years ago was equally fierce for ex
eluding not only all white men from
the polls who were not born here, but
all, whether born here or not, whose
religious laith was wrong;—and s >me
of his party went so far as to wi&h to
exclude every man whose father and
mother was not born here, or was not
ofnhe right religious faith, no matter
however worthy, or what his patriotic
services might be. The great repub
lican State of Ohio negries
from the polls—and their State Con
ventiou, lately in session, refused to
recomehd any alteration in this resrect.
It is the same in the great republican
State of Wisconsin, and the other lead- i
mg Western snd South western States.
They do not bow to Boston —and why
should Connecticut do it?

THE ELECTION.
The election for delegates to the State
Convention, passed off very quietly’ last
Wednesday, and Mesas s. James L, Seward
J. R. Alexander and A. T. Mclntyre, wer
elected without opposition by the follow
ing ballot : • •
Seward, • ‘ } TSG.. ‘ ‘
Alexander, 132.
Mclntyre, . 110. •
These votes were all polled at Thotnas
ville, no other precinct in the County hol
ding any election. Everybody seemed tp
think, as there was no difference of opin
ion and therefore no opposition, that there
was no necessity for a general turn out,
and most of them remained at home, lea
ving others to do the voting. This, of
comse made a very small vote.
“He who. swears informs us that bis
bare word is not to be credited.”
Young man do you hear that ? By
swearing you yourself notify and warn
others that vou are not truthful, or in oth.
er words, that your cool sober naked
statements are not to be credited. Bo
you suppose that the man who would no 4,
credit your bare words would believe
them when coupled with an oath? If so
you are most egregiousiy mistaken. He
may appear to credit you because you
have vehemently sworn, to give it vim ;
but be assured that sensible men do not
give confidence to profane swearing. You
put in question your own veracity, and
destroy your credibility, without being
asked or required to do so. Perhaps no
one has doubted your word. Why then
pollute your self with an abominable
oath ?
Auswer us this question. Did you ever
know a gentleman to swear 4 ? We are not
speaking ot legal affidavits or affirmations
made necessary by the forms of law, but
of that abo(ugj||ttfcdisgusting species of
swearing y ? If you say
you have , call upon you to
answer another question—what constitutes
a gentleman ? Now if we were to tell you
to your face that you are not a gentleman,
you would consider it an insult—-and yet,
you youraelf proclaim it"to the world eve
ry time you profanely swear. Turn your
attention now and study the word
man, and see if we do not tell you truely,
Then arc yon not ashamed to bo publicly

Tapioca.
What is it? Well, it is a white starch
looking substance obtained from scraping
or beating and washing the Cassava, or ’
vulgarly, (Cussnrver,) plant, which grows
abundantly in the tropics, where the in
habitants use it for bread. It has also j
been introduced and is extensively produc
ed in the i . States, Among ns Tapi-’ .
oca is used principally for making pud- j
d.ngs, and when properly prepared, make 9
a rich and highly paleiable dish for desert. ■
Here is a receipt :or making it:
M Boil four table spoonsfull of Tapioca
in water until soft—pour over it a pint cf
boiled milk—when cool boat in two eggs*
half a pound of sugar and a quarter of a
pound ol” butter—then season withessence
of lemon —pour the whole into a baking j
pan, grate nutmeg over the top and bake |
until brown.” f f
This will make a. splendid desert, for we
have tried it and know what is good.—

In the Northern St tes hostilities
! are general. The official paper of
Durango mentions the reappearance
of (ten. Pjttoni, who entered the State
! from that of Chihmihuu with some
I officers and a few men. He effected
.a junction with the bands of Corona
i and Calajar. Their combined frees
amounted to 2 f S(AU men. Great anx
iety is felt about their first movement.
The French General Negre has
sued an order that all proprietors must
have their laborers armed to resist
the Liberals, and Tnakp aaij propr?**-

Juarats. This is only giving arms;
and recruits to the Liberals. Our
correspondence from Tampico is of the |
most discouraging kind It is now j
three months since any commuaica- j
tion has been had with San Luis and )
the interior. No merchandise can be !
transported, and trade is completely
dead. The inhabitants naturally ask,
what benefit has accrued to them from j
the Empire. No movements of the
imperialists iu Sonora or Chihuahua, j
Guerrero, Tabasco, Chiapas and Ooli-|

fines of Guatemala with singular uua- 1
