ileges, ought to exist bethen different clas-
ses of free men. _
Treason against a Republican government
is the greatest of crimes, and ought to be treat-
ed as such. Nevertheless a humane and
generous policy ought to be exercised by the
National government toward the mrsgurded
masses of the Southern people who were not
primarily responsible for the late rebellion.
The public opinion of Europe in reference
to the domestic affairs of this country, must
henceforth be of little value to the American
peTlEgovernment of the United States, in
settling upon its domestic policy, and espe-
cially in deciding what course it will pursue
towards the leaders of the rebellion, ought
not to be influenced by the wishes, the ad-
vice, the warnings, the entreatics, or the pub-
lic opinion Of foreign nations, but ought, on
t e contrary, to look with jealousy and sus-
picion upon all attempts from such quarters
to affect its actions. .
The government of the United States ought
never to recognize any government which
has been imposed upon any nation on this
continent by the ‘arms of any European pow-

In its diplomacy; the government of the
United States ought, while courteous. to be
it‘r‘ank. It ought not to make pretenses of
friendship towards nations which_hav_e man-

distress. But peace, with friendship towards
our friends, and peace Without friendship,

to be maintained at all times, if ssrble, as
the true and permanent policy 0 the United

Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, by his great abilities, his _undoubted
patriotism and his eminent public servrces,
has entitled himself to the confidence of the
nation; and since he is manifestly surround-

compelled to adopt experimental policies
without assurance of their success, he ought
- to be sustained in the exercise of great free-
dom ofaction, and, in all his efforts to tran-
quilize the country, to maintain its peace and
dignity, and to promote its Welfare, he ought
to receive afrank and generous support from
the peolple. _

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
VI.
With the present number We hung these
articles to a close. We have attempted to
show that, under our system of' government,
the exerciSO of suffrage is a right, and not a
privilege; that it is expedient that the exist»
ing restriction of color be removed, whether
our first position be admitted or denied; that
the argument of the opponents Of universal
suffrage, which confounds political capacities
with social affinities, is fallacious; that the
assertion ofa natural incapacity of the negro
for self-government is without historical
foundation; and that it is unphilosophical
and absurd to expect to fit men for civil du-
ties, by rigidly excluding them from the ex-
ercise of the most elementary of those du-
ties.
If an immigration of the recently emanci-
pated Russian serfs were to commence this
summer, and a half a million of them were
annually to he landed upon our shores for
the next five years, all wise men would re--
joice at the accession to our laboring popula-
tion, and not one would behold enough to
propose an alteration of our naturalization
laws, so as to exclude the new-comers from
the suffrage. We should feel satisfied that
the influence of free institutions, the univer-
sal opportunities for education, the vast pre-
ponderance ofthe old inhabitants of the Re-
public already accustomed to self-gOvern-
ment, would gradually and safely absorb the
new material into the mass of society, and
the nation be richer and stronger for the ad-
dition. Why can we not be wise enough to
reason in like manner respecting our own
serfs ? It is impossible to answer this ques-
tion without discovering that an unreason-
-ing prejudice lies at the bottom of the Oppo-
sition to the extension of the suffrage. Its
existence is easily accounted for. The ne-
gro was brought to this country as a slave.
Our laws have been carefully framed to keep
him ignorant, servile, and degraded. _ We
have grown up, associating him in idea with
a contemptuous nick-name.. When we hear
him mentioned, that nick-name rises to our
thoughts, bringing with it the image of a
creature uncouth, clothed in patches, filthy,
speaking in a ludicrous dialect,-—in a word,
of a creature, of whom we and our laws
have been the creators. It is not apt to oc-
cur to us how all this might be changed by
simply giving to him the place, the rights,
the duties, the inward consciousness of full
citizenship. Instead of putting before him
such objects as Would exalt his nature and
dignity his manhood, we have systematically
shut him out from conobling aspirations,
and then made the results of our own injus-
tice the apology for continuing to be unjust.
The events of the recent war, have, to
some extent, shaken this deep rooted prej u~
dice. It is difficult not to feel a degree of
respect for a class of our countrymen, one
fourth of whose males, of an age suitable for
hearing arms, has voluntarily shouldered
the musket and undergone the stern disci-
pline of the soldier, for the salvation of the
Republic. It is said that two hundred thou-
sand negro veterans still woar the uniform
of the Union, and stand ready to do battle in
its behalf against domestic or foreign foes.
Nor is this all. Wherever a federal army
has penetrated into the territory of the re-
bellion, its most trusty guides, its most relia-
ble scouts have been of this long-oppressed
race. Whenever a federal prisoner has bro-
ken away from-the horrors Of the Libby, or
Belle Isle, of‘ Salisbury or Andersonville,
the beacon of his hope has been the light of
the negro cabin, whose humble inmates
were certain to be ever ready to give him
food and covert, and to guide him, by the
shortest route, to the protection of the starry
flag. Amid the millions of the disloyal
within the confederate lines, the negro alone
has always been loyal, and that because he
believed that the Union was the realized em-
bodiment of the maxims of the Declaration,
—z'. e. universal liberty,—government based
on the consent of the governed.
The colored population of Connecticut has
furnished its full proportion to the ranks of
the Army. We have before us the Report
of the Adjutant General of this State where-
by we learn that the casualfies in one Regi-
ment (29th Conn., colored,) in the operations
before Petersburg were nineteen killed and
one hundred and twenty-one wounded, all
enlisted men. The dead lie by the shores of
the James, side by side with their white
countrymen who fell in the same sacred
cause ; the solemn pine-trees sing the same
requiem over both; and their brave souls
have gone to that award where all merely
external earthly differences are forgotten for-
ever. But what shall we say of the one hun-
dred and twenty-one WOUNDED of that gal-
lant Regiment ? Shattered and maimed, they
have come back to the soil whose dearest in-
terests they went forth to defend. Come,
home-staying cifizen of Connecticut, and
look these men in the face, while you argue
’of social equality, of the incapacity of the
negro, and of waiting till he is fitto vote!
We find it difficult to write calmly, while we
think Of the bursting shell which shattered
that sturdy limb, of the hiss and roar of
musketry which left that sleeve empty, of
the hot carnage out of which these broken
fragments have emerged, only, as some
would have it, to be crushed down into hope-
less ignominy by the very men for whom
they have made this horrible self-sacrifice.
We do not anticipate such a result. If the
restriction of color be removed from our
Constitution, the grossly ignorant will still
be excluded from the suffrage by the clause
which requires a. capacity to read as a qualifi-
cation of an elector. The colored men of
this State, who have been educated in our
schools, are generally admitted by intelligent
men, to be useful citizens. Very many of
them are property-holders, and as a class,
they are orderly and industrious members of
society. In the war for the Union, they have
nobly performed their part. Tire time has
come when they may fairly ask equal and
exact justice from their white countrymen.
In advocating their cause, we have kept aloof
from all party considerations in the hope
that our fellow-citizens of different political
connections, upon a dispassionate considera-
tion of the grave interests involved, Would
arrive at the same conclusions with our-
selves.
The intensity of feeling, evoked by the
events of the war, has carried party spirit to
agreaterheiglit than it had before reached
within our remembrance. We‘ hope. tr see
this spirit allayed with the return of peace,
and nothing would more conduce to that re-
sult than a cordial union of the people for the
extension of the practical exercise of those
rights,which are described, in our charters
of government, asinlierent and inalienable.

The Legislature finished its labors for this
session on Friday last. This has been the
longest session ever held in the State, and
our laws ought to be pretty thoroughly
patched up new. Our readers will probably
soon have an opportunity of reading their
“Public Acts.”
The most important acts of legislation this
year, and acts which will stand forth in His—
torv, was the one ratifying the amendment
to the U. S. Constitution abolishing Slavery,
and the one in favor of Universal Suffrage in
Our own State. , ' .'
The two houses had a jolly time of it as
usual, in closing upon’ Fi'i'day, in the way of
complimentary speeches and resolutions, but,
our space forbids our publishing them. The
Governor made a neat and handsome speech
in closing, wherein we regret to say, he in
substance , emphatically declined another re-
election to the Gubernatorial Chair. The
State owes him an immense debt of gratitute,
for the noble qualities he has shown during
the trying period Of the rebellion, and for so
successfully carrying Connecticut proudly,
nobly and triumphantly through it all. All
will wish him long and happy years of enjoy-
ment, in his voluntary retirement from the
ardous services of the state government.

community is so infested with burglars, he
would not be without it for any considera-

The gallant 5th Regiment of Connecticut
Volunteers, went through Norwalk on Sun-
day night lasf, on route for Hartford to be
mustered out of the service. This Regiment
has probably done iiiOrc marching than any
other regiment in the Volunteer service.
Having been kept continually trumping,
on its first entering the service, up and down
the banks of the Potomac from Frederick
City to Falling Water, and other points in
Maryland, then over in Virginia, down the
Shenandoah and back, in Bunks’ famous ad-
vance and, retreat; in Maryland through the
fir’stinvasion campaign; thence transferred
to the 12th Army Corps, were in the Chan-
cellorville and Gettysburg fights and cam-
paigns; thence transferred to the Western
Department'they did varied service until the
old 11th and 12th Corps was consolidated
and made into the Twentieth, “the Fighting
Twentieth” of Hooker, and in that Corps
have done their share of the marching and
fighting, from Chattanooga, Ga., to Atlanta,
above and under the clouds, from Atlanta
to Savannah and thence to North Carolina to
the fight of Avereesborough and the surren-
der Of Johnson. From there they have
made their triumphal march through Vir-
ginia, passing with the rest of Sherman’s
army through Richmond, and finally wind-
' ing up with the grand review at Washing-
ton. Thus it willvbe seen that in addition
to its first gallant and laborious duties, it has
been one of thefew Regiments which have
been around nearly the whole of the rebel
confederacy,,~ marching along triumphantly
with the old banner of Stars and Stripes. .
Norwalk has been closely identified with
this noble regiment, its first commander, the
patriotic Ferry of our town, and then Co. E,

All hail then to the boys of the noble old

A word to our citizens; our boys in the

are also daily expected, and possibly some
of those in other regiments will soon be here,
now can we not go to work immediate-

New Jersey Politics.
New YORK, July 21, 1865.
The Unionists of New Jersey have held
their State Convention, and nominated Mair-
cus L. Ward, of Newark, for Governor.—
This result was not secured without a severe
contest, the friends of Camden and Ainboy
making an earnest effort in behalf of their
favorite, Hon. Alexander G. Cattell, of Cain-
den County. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick, too,
had many admirers in the Convention, and
they made a gallant raid upon the voters to
induce his nomination by acclamation, but
the leading politicians were for Ward, and he
was therefore made the nominee.
The Platform adopted by the Convention
gives satisfaction to the majority of Union-
ists familiar with the record of New Jersey.
It is not as earnest and radical on the subject
of Restorrtion as Connecticut men may'
deem called for by the exigencies of the civil
revolution through which the nation is now
passing, but it is suited to the latitude of the
State, and will win more votes than any oth-
er would call forth. ‘
That Mr. Ward will be elected Governor,
no well-informed Unionist believes. But
circumstances may occurr tending to bring
about a complete rout and dispersion of the
hitherto invincible democracy. The isssue
between the friends and opponents of the
Constitutional Amendment is one that the
people must necessarily pass upon at the
next election. The action Of the last legis-
lature (democratic) in refusing the right of
suffrage to the New Jersey soldiers doing
duty at the South, will also serve to sharply
define the issues existing betWeen the Union-
ists and democrats. The vote of the return-
ed soldiers, it is believed, will be largely in
favor of Mr. Ward. Altogether, the New
Jersey Unionists enter upon the political
campaign of 1865 under very fair auspices,
and although they cannot expect to elect
their nominee, yet they will do all within
their power to reduce the democratic majori-
ty to a low figure.
At the Presidential election of 1856 New
Jersey voted thus :
Buchanan, 46,943
Fremont, 28,338
Fillmore, 24,115
. Total vote, 99,396
Buchanan’s plurality, 18,605
At the Gubernatorial election in 1859, Hon.
Charles S. Olden was the American-Repub-
lican nominee- and Hon. Edwin R. V.
Wright the Democratic. The fo.mer was
elected, the vote being divided as follows :
Olden, 53,315
Wright, 51,714
Total vote, 105,029
.Olden’s majority, 1,601
For President in 1860, the following vote
was given :
Fusion, 62,801
Lincoln, 58,324
Total vote, 121,125
Fusion majority, 4,477
The Union State Convention of 1862
nominated Hon. Marcus L. Ward, of Essex,
for Governor. He was opposed by Hon. J 0-
el Parker, (Dem) of Monmouth. An anima-
ted canvass resulted in the triumph of the
democratic ticket, the vote being divided as

The Democratic State Convention will
soon assemble at Trenton and nominate a
candidate in Opposition to Mr. Ward. There
are many applicants for the nomination, but
at present it is impossible to say who will
obtain it. It is believed that the Conven-
tion will pass resolutions opposing the rati-
fication of the Constitutional Amendment,
denying the right of suffrage to the freedmen
and opposing any interferance with the Rail
Road interests of the State. It is perhaps un-
necessary to say that the nominee will be se-
lected with due respect to the interests of the
Joint Companies.
A fair contest and a righteous decision up-
on the issues now dividing public sentiment
in New Jersey are confidentially believed to
be imminent. LOCHIEL. .
