From tho New Haven, Conn., Xegisier. Xetrro HnHrr#P e “"^® < ‘ ren< '®* 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? ‘V, by is loafers in a printing office like shade trees ? Becwwe we are glad when thoy lerre i&b; Sautfrrn (fcntorisc. o u LUCIUS C.

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 as nyrQf'rn* warm 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.— Where will you go to gist Tapioca ?

The Register says upon the authority of a highly r* speerable gentleman present, that the meeting was characterized by harmony and wisionu in debate wholeiy unexpected in such an assembly, and while the advan tages of freedom were thoroughly canvass” ed, they came to the conclusion that they were in much worse’ circumstance than when they were slaves. • “, VOO&IIEFN & of Nt*w York.

On Maxi mill; aii’p birthday the Em oress went in state to the cathedral.— r t iShe had a magnificent crowu on ht-r head, and wi-re a crimson velvet manv tie, all embroidered with stars of gold, over a magnificent white silk ores.s similarly worked.

On Michoacan the situation remains i'the same. The Austrian commqpder i has been libera.ing on parole some Re | publican prisoners, hoping thus that the Belgian prisoners held by the Lib j crals will be simi arly treat and. The ’ advantages in that State are decidedly in favor of the liberals. 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?**- tors responsible for all the acts of the 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-| mas which States are entirely in the hands of the Liberal powers. Presi dent Juarez is recognized by all the j Liberals, from Durango to the con- j fines of Guatemala with singular uua- 1 nimity. Maximiiiian told a friend of mine latelv that he was verv anxious to eel i rid of the French, who were robbing and assassinating on all sides. I am sorry not to be able to chronic ; cle a better state of things, but confu sion grows here worse confounded.— The French reenforce ments continue to arrive, without any perceptible ben J efit to this poor country. .■ OCRBESPCNSAL.
