The true spirit of democracy de-
mands a liberal extension of this
right to the citizens of the State;
and any restriction of this right, not
founded on justice and sound policy,
is anti-democratic, and detrtmental
to the interests of the country. In
all republics, the strength of the go
▼eminent lies in the attachment of
the people for it; -whatever, then
tends to bind the people in patriotic
affection to the State, may safely be
held to be ju9t and politic. It has
been well remarked by England's
philosophic statesman, Burke, that
in order that men shall love their
country, their country must first be
lovely. That which makes a country
lovely to its citizens is the fact, that
it secures to them the enjoyment of
rights and blessings beyond the ma-
terial comforts of life; and the great-
er measure of liberty it accords to
them, the more lovely it will be, the
more will they love it, and the more
cheerfully will they fight for it. If
our government had heretofore de-
nied to poor and uneducated natives
and foreign-born citizens an equality
of political rights with the more for-
tunate classes, does any one suppose
they would have volunteered so nu-
merously to fight the battles of the
country, and made such valiant sol-
diers as they have ever done¿—mri
^Su/SSSnable to think
they would have done so, in the ab-
sence of that incentive to patriotism
which has ever made them in times
of war the stalwart champions of
their country's cause. They have
felt, and truly felt, that they were
fighting for their oton loved land of
liberty, in which they enjoyed equal
political rights with its most opulent
and powerful citizens. The country
has been endeared to their hearts by
the rights of suffrage and citizenship
which they enjoyed in it; and they
loved it enough to fight for it, and, if
&eed be, to die in its defence.
Why ,it that Fenian isin is alarm-
:o]
the

obtained without
little evil. A large majority of the
- .i i .i white people can safely be trusted
the right o tj g trith the elective franchise, and we
ballot box who shall make, and who
shall administer, the laws has, some-
1, and that we hear of
discontent in the British dominions ?
It is because the right of suffrage is
denied to the masses of the people.
The aristocracy of England refuse to
extend the elective franchise to poor
Men ; and the poorer elasses, espe-
cially in Ireland, are discontented,
and threaten revolution. Give to
these discontented men the privileges
which rightfully belong to freemen,
and their country and its government
would become lovely m their sight,
and its preservation be the first ob-
ject in the hearts of its now disloyal
citizens. Make but the laws of a
Country equal and just,operating alike
upon all classes, and the hearts of
the people will be lio&ed together in
affection for that country; and each
citizen w$l be a volunteer sentinel
and. soldier, watching the interests
of his country, and ever ready to
fight in its defence, without being
drafted or conscripted. We are op-
posed to "Restricting the right of
suffrage within narrower limits than
heretofore," and as yet have seen no
good reason assigned by the advo-
cates of restriction in support of their
anti-democratic policy.
The citizen electors being, under
otr form of government, the source
of sovereign power, it were well per-"
have no means of determining ex-
actly what persons among them, of
sane minds and legal age, can not.
Some favor a literary qualification
to vote, and others say that suffrage
ought to be based on the possession
of property. While we are in favor
of educating the people to as high a
standard of mental culture as pos-
sible, and freely concede that the
better educated our pebple are, the
safer will be our liberties, we would
insist that there is a vast amount of
useful knowledge besides book learn-
ing. There are patriots who cannot
read, and there have been many
traitors to the country who were ripe
scholars; and no fouler injustice
could be done, than to admit the lat-
ter to vote, and exclude the former.
Any white man, twenty-one years
old, can, in these times of improve-
ment and general diffusion of useful
knowledge, learn which ticket to
vote, and if he has independence of
character he will vote it.
As to property being a qualifica-
tion to vote, the idea was refuted by
Ben. Franklin nearly one hundred
years ago, and no man, but some
would-be aristocrat and enemy to
popular rights, will ever consent to
see our laws so changed as to require
that a man shall own any given
amount of property, real or personal,
to entitle to vntp
of property is no evidence of su-
perior intelligence or patriotism, and
is no more qualification for admis-
sion to the ballot-box than it is for
the kingdom of heaven.
Pabkic Speaktaf.
Judge Allen, candidate for the
Convention from the counties of Tra-
vis and Williamson, and Judge Han-
cock, candidate to represent Travis
county in the ?ame body, addressed
a large number of the citizens of this
county, at the San Marcos Hotel,
last Saturday. The former gentle-
man elaborated the positions assumed
in his printed circular* and fcrthe?
opposed any ehangs lift the élec-
ÚV£„ franchiae, slrfould that subject
be presentSi-fóír action before the
Convention. His speech was favor-
ably received.
Judge Hancock made one of his
characteristio, abusive, negative
speeches, wherein he opposed every-
thing and abused every body. He
wis particularly severe in his denun-
ciatory railings against the secession
leaders; the administration of Gov.
Hamilton ; the Austin city papers in
general, and the Intelligencer in par-
ticular. He said he had never seen
anything good from either paper,
and seemed to think there was
a general combination of all parties
and influences to persecute and os-
tracise him. We trust he succeeded
to his entire satisfaction in convin-
cing himself, at least, that he has
really been persecuted. -It is a fa-
vorite luxury with the amiable Judge,
to indulge the belief that some per-
son or some thing is ever pursuing
him with the same malignity not un-
frequently manifested iii his public
speeches. Some men will flee, whe-
ther pursued at not, and this may
possibly account for his morbid humor,
that there always some spirit of
assassination lurking in his pathway.
Hp cqmplaiued bitterly that we
had misrepresented him. This was
number of offices to be filled by pop-
ular elections." This report was
copied from the Express into the
Houston and Austin papers, without
correction from Judge Hancock. In
our issue of the 21st of December
we again copy it, and say, " If these
are really his views, it would, at
least, be interesting to the public to
know the reasons upon which they
are founded." We also suggested
that the two most natural modes of
restricting the right of suffrage are:
by excluding from the ballot-box
those not " to the manor born," and
basing the elective franchise on a
specific property qualification. This
is the extent of our offending against
the "so-called" persecuted Judge;
and his statement, therefore, that we
had misrepresented him, was simply
not true. But it was enough to
arouse his denunciatory powers—his
peculiar forte—and to excite his fa-
vorite humor of being pursued by
some unknown mortal foe. His at-
tack upon us, however, was gratui-
tous and entirely without provoca-
tion. He disclaims favoring the dis-
franchisement of any who are now
admitted as voters, but seemed to
think there may be a necessity for pre-
scribing some qualification for those
who are hereafter to be admitted as vo-
ters. This, to our mind, is little less
objectionable than the views attribu-
ted to jiim in his San Antonio speech.
Nor did he indicate the extent or
manner of the qualification for the
elective franchise which may hereaf-
ter become necessary. Wfi^sfjga
what we havejbgfe^gtated, it would
be ™*¡$í$§URg to the public to know
what manner, and to what extent,
this possible future restriction of the
right of suffrage may become ne-
cessary. Is the limitation or restric-
tion to be on the grounds of nativity ?
pecuniary condition ? or, intellectual
qualification ? The only two classes
who can be affected by any future
restrictions are, the unnaturalized
foreigners, and the native youth un-
der twenty one years of age. If
AU Te
The Civilian has the following on
the subject of the Texas trade:
The age*of steam has evidently
come, so far as Galveston is con-
cerned. Last Saturday we had the
steamships Rapidan and Haze from
New Orleans; the steamer Reindeer
on Sunday; on Monday the Austin,
Crescent and Texas from the#same
port; the steamer C. C. Leary,from
New York, and Teaser on Tuesday
from New Orleans. The Sherman
and Morgan are due to-morrow, and
thq, Londona the next day—a dozen
a week will do pretty well.
There are now sixteen steamships
in the Texas trade, besides «the Gov-
ernment, embracing perhaps as many
more.
When you add the bay and river
fleet, you will have a pretty fair
navy.
The S. A. Express of the 28th
has the two following paragraphs:
The County Clerk informs us that
the number of registered voters for
Bexar county, up to yesterday even-
ing, is 1728.
The eleven marauders who were
mentioned in our last as having been
captured at Uvalde and brought to
Castroville, were, on Saturday last,
escorted to this city and delivered to
the civil authorities. They are yet
in jail. The leader of the party,
who calls himself Major Perry, esi
caped. We understand they were
bound together by a terrible oath,
administered by Perry.
The local of the Galveston Bulle-
tin gets off the following. Speaking
of the usher at the circus, he says:
Van, full of bows and smiles, had
just escorted a bevy of fashionable
adíes to choice seats, when, espying
a prison attired in black cloth, wear-
ing a mttlkof the same color, he gent-
ly toucheu^tó^individual on the
shoulder, remarkiííg^" Please take
off your hat, sir." He^iipgno re-
sponse, he did the same witBTní
emphasis, when the head suddenly
turned, and he beheld with conster-
nation a paii* af female eyes flashin
with indignation. He bowed, an
retired, saying, " I beg your pardon,
madam, but how in thunder can I
tell a lady who wears a hat like
that?" Van knows how to keep a
circus, but he ain't posted in the
fashion of hats.

have fro time to time insisted that
it is títt right*of the voters to de-

liave no patience with any man, or
set of men, who would tamper thus
with the liberties of the people. We
aré not willing to acquit the possible
necessity for any limitation, on the
right of voting now, or hereafter;
and trust the coming Convention will
see the wisdom and justice of leaving
the qualification of electors just as
it now is, regardless of who may ad-
vocate the change, or the grounds
upon which the change is urged.
We have no disposition to misrep-
resent Judge Hancock, or any other
man, and have not intentionally done
so. If, however, he thinks we have
done him injustice, our columns are
now and ever have been open to him
for correction. To have corrected
in plain and unequivocal terms any
apparent misrepresentation of his
sentiments through the columns of
the same paper in which the uninten-
tional injustice was done him, would
have saved him the exhibition of
much unnecessary feeling, and which
has the appearance of originating
from other and different causes. This
bourse would have been less disin-
genuous, and more in keeping with
candor and fair dealing than any
blustering, defiant evasion of a pub-
lic avowal of the policy he proposes
to advocate in the Convention. Our
greatestoffence against him has been
in calling for a full public avowal of
, policy.
Mr. J. R. Payne, from Little
Blanco and "Twin Sisters" mount-
ain, in Blanco county, informs us
that the Indians—or persons sup-
posed to be such—are creating some
trouble in that section. They re-
cently appeared'there, and shot sev-
eral horses during Christmas week.
He also informs us that several days
before Christmas a party of men,
dressed in Federal uniform, appeared
in the neighborhood, disarmed a por-
tion of the settlers, and designated
to them a place where they might
appear and prove property; but on
assembling at the time and place ap-
pointed, the parties in uniform were
not at hand. The conclusion was
arrived at that they were impostors.

KBOCMBI at tbe
The Southern representatives are
repeetfully knocking at the doors of
Congress, but they hear no sound of
welcome from witnin. There is tu-
mult and bitterness, and some talk
of a division of spoils, but the kind
word "forgiveness" is not once
breathed, and if the " fatted calf
is to be killed at all, it must be for
" men and brothers,'' not for " seces-
sionists " and " rebels! " And this
is the radical realization of Union!
" Stand off! I am holier than you,"
cries the solemn Sumner. " I'll
trouble you with a lino!" exclaims
the unforgiving Thaddeus, dangjing
a suggestive rope from his dexter
hand. " Stop dat knocking" is the
characteristic advice of some new
candidate, for the honors of Ethio-
pian minstrelsy.
Thus we go. The very men who
cried " Union " so lustily, when se-
cession was a. threatening power in
the land, are now the sole obstacles
to the realization of that "more
perfect union" which has always
been regarded by the patriot and
statesman as extremely desirable.
It is strange that so unrighteous a
disposition should be shown by those
who are at present masters of the
political situation. When a wicked
man turneth from the error of his
ways, and doeth that which is lawful
and right, great joy is experienced
in the church; more indeed than
over " ninety and nine just persons
who need no repentance." How is
it, then, that the political penitent,
instead of being welcomed with
great joy, is met only by bitter taunts
and heartless persecution? Is the
spirit of brotherhood wholly lost,
and the Union of the States but the
plaything of extremists ? Our North-
ern relatives, in their religious so-
cieties, are always ready to extend
the hand of fellowship to the ex-
tremcst sinner who joins them in
search of spiritual happiness; why,
then, 'do they refuse political fellow-
ship to men who, even in in their er-
iWS} were sustained by a strong con-
sciousii&ss of right, and are certain-
ly the peers spf the best in every
nobie and manly qualify ? Accord-
ing to the theory of these impracti-
cable partisans, the President him-
self is selected from a State which
forms no part of the Union, for
Tennessee, as well as Louisiana and
the rest, becomes virtually disfran-
chised by the selfish extremes of a
sectional party, and it w—M be but
*
to oust the §afeftrtfAia.,jM*te from
his Executive^auázon; as one not
entitled to the place.
The qualifications of members of
the House of Representatives are
expressly defined in the second clause
of Section^, Article 1, of the Con-
stitution, which runs thus: "No
person shall be a representative who
shall not have attained to the age of
twenty-five years, and been seven
years a citizen of the United States,
and who shall not, when elected, be
an inhabitant of that State in which
he shall be chosen."
This is the only limitation on the
power of the people to elect whom
they please, and a sectional majori-
ty of the House has no right to set
up new and unconstitutional limita-
tions, whether in the form of test
oaths or by other antecedent humili-
ations. Each House is certainly
authorized to judge of the qualifica-
tions and returns of its own mem-
bers, but the act must be judicially
performed, " according to the law
and the testimony," not according
to fanatical caprice or party dicta-
tion. In proof of this, we appeal
to Chancellor Kent, (1 Com., p. 234,)
who, in Commenting on the text in
relation to the matter, says: " As
each House acts in these cases in a
judicial character, its decision, like
the decisions of any other court,
ought to be! regulated by known
principles of law, and strictly ad-
hered to, for the sake of uniformity
and certainty."
It is made a matter of complaint
among the extremists at Washington
that Southern constituencies have,
in manj instances, elected men who
took part in the rebellion, in prefer-
ence to others who claimed to be
faithful even when surrounded by the
faithless. As to this, the elective
franchise would be but an empty
form, if, instead of being permitted
to vote for men of their choice, the
electors were restricted, to an insig-
nificant few, in whose honor or abili-
ties they have no confidence. Every
representative elected must, of course
have taken the amnesty oath, d
in cases where it was Necessary
to obtain pardon from the Presi-
dent, that, pardon has been obtained.
Of the effect of such pardons there
can be no doubt. All the authori-
ties agree that " Ther effect of a full
pardon is to absolve the party from
all legal consequences of his crime,
and of his conviction—-direct or col-

Business in New Yobk.—The
Journal of Commerce of the 5th
says:
If any one desires to see a busy
city he can find it here. The retail
stores are crowded with customers,
and the most expensive articles find
ready and rapid sales. There seems
to be a mania for spending money,
and nothing is too extravagant for the
tastes and purses of the citizens of
New York. These remarks apply
not only to the luxuries of life, but
to the necessaries as well. The in-
crease in the prices does not operate
to check sales, either in articles of
food, clothing or ornaments. The
manufacturers of furniture are press-
ed to their utmost ability to meet
their orders.
The importers of'rare and costly
works of art are not able to supply
the demand. The carpet stores have
been reduced to the lowest stocks,
and could not open goods with suffi-
cient rapidity to supply their cus-
tomers. It is certain that New York
never knew such prices as have been
paid this fall, and we only echo what
we hear from all the retail dealers in
saying that there was never such a
busy season. There is something to
think of in this state of affairs. It
is not always an evidence of pros-
perity when such extravagance is
visible. We state the facts, and
leave the reader to draw the moral.
Gen. Grant.—Not only is the
late military report of this officer ex-
ceedingly modest, but another just
made by him is equally creditable to
his good sense. Returning from the
South, the Lieutenant General has
reported to the President that the
condition of the freedmen is not so
good as could be desired, owing to
their own recklessness, but thai
Southern whites are in his opinion
unfeignedly loyal, and in every
way ready for their restoration to
the Union. Gen. Grant's forte
seems to be strong judgment backed
by candor. It is altogether likely
that his report will check the Radi-
cals in their too basásirong career.
Gen.. Grant is, perhaps, the only man
in the country whose personal popu-
larity enables him to beard the Rad-
icals without loss to himself and with
benefit to the public interests. We
are glad to see him pursuing the
independent course indicated in the
late dispatches, and hope he will
maintain it to the end of our present
troubles.—News, 29th.
Mr. Seward.—The Washington
correspondent of the Indianapolis
Journal, after describing a visit to
the White Home, says:
I met Secretary Seward just com-
ing down, with his thin, pale, cadav-'
erous face all awry, with the skin
tightly drawn over the flesh, and
looking like the parchment on which
the rolls of his department are writ-
ten. This little, slight built man,
with his light, frail figure, looking all
brain and no body, has had much in-
deed, upon his shoulders during the
past four years—most of all in the
past seven months. That he should
not only have survived the desperate
assault of Payne, but should be as
intellectually vigorous as ever, sur-
prises even his best friends.
Late Confederate Officers and
Soldiers.—The New Orleans Pica-
yune says : " Our city furnishes
such pleasing proof of tho appositc-
ness of the following extract, that we
feel a pleasure in copying it, which
we do from an article in the Mem-
phis Evening Advertiser, of the 6th :
" Nothing so illustrates the ster-
ling worth of character, generally,
as the manner in which the officers
and soldiers of the late Confederate
armies have deported themselves since
the failure of that cause to which
they had given the earnest work of
earnest hearts. From generals to
privates, they have met thhir fate as
men, and have, at once, addressed
themselves to the task of building up
their ruined fortunes. We see them
in all positions, and they make all posi-
tions honorable. They turn their
hands to anything ; their backs upon
nothing that will gain 'for them an
honest livelihood. They are the salt
of this country, and they will leave
their impr%ss upon it, as of old.
They are returning to their old haunts;
and though they find many new faces
occupying their old places, they will
resume the helm to guide and direct
the interests of their own sunny land.
