Weare pleased to notice t,hat De? mocratic clubs aro multiplying all over the Sta?te, bdt especially in the upper Districts. Our private advices nodioato much enthusiasm, and wo are gratified to add that the colored jspoplo are abandoning radicalism to mito their fortunes with those whose interests are identical with their own and who are their best and fastest fitiends. They are beginning to fear, and that wisely, too, that they may, Ia. following the suggestions of their radical leaders, lose the bone whilst grasping at the shadow. Let us' anggest to tho colored people this: iitot those of them who live South should show themselves Southern. And. inasmuch as tho Democratic Berty is tho Southern man's party, let them rally uro und this organiza? tion. Let them cut themselves off 2nom the carpet-bag gentry, and de? fend upon the true men of the South. ---m~f W>c Journal of Commerce and the Question of Negro .Stiffi-ayc-The True Ponlllon. As wo have before remarked, tho ?lew York Journal of Commerce is one -at the ablest, wisest, and purest journals in thc country. It seeks th? truth, and its conservative utter ataees command the respect of the -whole country. We have been im? pressed with the wise sentiments it lusa expressed on the subject of negro zmffrage. Uupon assuming charge of tibe political department of the Pho. rms, we not only took position in Ifcvor of qualified negro suffrage, as iteing both right and expedient, but wc have urged .upon the National Stemocratic party of the country the adoption of t?jis principle, as one that TK/uld insure it success in the next iPresiduutial canvass. This position mu took in advance of any journal or 8nbl?c mau, so far as wc know. We ave pleased to find so influential a gaper as the Journal of Commerce taking our view of this great matter. Scud what it says-tho article is Bather long, but let the reader, white ar black, peruse it, and ii the colored naan cannot read, let him get a friend to read it for him: "lu commenting a few weeks ago apon an appeal by the Democrats to Sho conservatives, who ore inde? pendent of party relations for their sspport in tho coming Presidential fflJection, we took tho ground that the flatform offored was entirely too auurrow to attract the invited help, ?ul that it must be enlarged in certain important particulars, before it will be sufficient to support a a?otoriouB organization from the ele? ments proposed. We have since discussed at greater length a few of the suRRcssion? then briefly ???de, ami we now propose to give some Masons for the adoption of an affirma? tive policy on the question of negro suffrage. "It will bo remembered by our laaders, that we proposed, as apart of tie creed, the extension to the black race, through State legislation, of the privilege cf suffrage, under certain restrictions as Jo ciOier or both of the qualifications of ytrt'perly and education. This has keen met by some of the more candid ai tho Democratic papers with the .^ncstion, 'Why go beyond the sim? ple proposition-No submission by ?ko white race lo negro rule?' To this nome have added, 'Aid us in rester ing tbs authority of the Constitution a si >i til th i la? i, mm? jip ??? M to deal kindly with the negro when we have the power.' But the subject carnot be shirked in this may, and th?rVSre Ibo^^^nf'irlfereeted "M a justfcttleriejii of IhisSeerfcus <affi oult? to ba fftisfied min the*)ega?ve pro?sition?bove pofem >. "fe hat? no! heMtatjfcn m sayfhg, fradfcy, that betxeeet? instant unqmii* fied negro suffrage and entire denial to the roos of this privilege, we would ?-cally prefer the latter. It would bo r more humane to the blacks them? selves. Wo do not object to un re? stricted suffrage without regard to color, because we have any fears that JtaJjdMk-iplB-JwU- tiJrannnRe.Qxar., tho Caucasian, nnd set himself up as paramount in the land. Bitt we do i fear that indieoriminate negro voting, especially in localities where the b?icbs r.r? numerous, and more or loss unfittod to appreciate the nature of the privilege, will lead by its, inevitable fruits to a decided re-ac? tion in publio sentiment, and pro? voke a colUaiojQ.betwpen the races? id which the inferior would greatly suffer,' if not be entirely crushed. Tho future of the negro is dark enough at the bent, and will beso without this added risk. The ballot, as wo have herotoforo'shown in an argument no one' has attempted tn answer, so f.ir from being a protec? tion to him, as many superficial ob? servers haye claimed, will bring him. into fresh perils. By holding out 'the'suffrage as an inducement to the acquisition of proper ty and educa? tion, somo of those dangers may be avoided, and with such restrictions all unprejudiced persons would be satisfied to eco tho experiment fairly tried. -r'!,."And this brings us to'the'ques tion which many will ask, 'Why uot make the same rule for both whites and blacks, and let the suffrage bo impartial,'applying tho same limits without restriction as to color?' If the privilege were now for the first time to be conferred, wo should be very glad to aid in establishing such limits as would prevent its exercise by the ignorant and improvident of any color; where this has been con? ceded it is difficult to recall it now;, but we Would,go no further in that direction. Besides, the two races do not stand upon the same footing, and never will, while they dwell toge? ther with separate blood. We may admit all the reasons urged why this Should not be so, but this will not .chango tho fact, which exists in spite* of the argument The attempt to force the mass of ignorant, improvident blacks into a position of perfect pol iii a di equality with the. governing whites, willi not only fail in itself, bul will increase the popular prejudice against the whole race, and rendel' ii nearly tf not quite impossible, to do anything to improve their social condition. "It is true that this is matter for State, rather than national legisla? tion; butonc party is forcing it into the canvass, and a simple opposition to its one idea of universal social and political equality for the uegi u, is not enough to satisfy those conservatives who have ever been the truest friends of the black man in all stages of the controversy. We have already stated that between doing all that radical? ism asks for the black man and denying it all, we would choose the latter, even out of kindness to him, if for no other reason; but we believe that there ts a middle ground thal would meet the views of the great body of the American people. The sooner this is conceded and established, the better will it be for all concerned." Democratic Meeting. Mn. EDITOR: On Saturday last, tho Otb instant, at the request of the citizens of the neighborhood, Mr. S. E. Caugbman organized a Democra? tic Club, at the Long Branch School? house, about four miles North-east of Lexington village. After on ad? dress by Mr. Caughinan, who spoke iu his usual forcible style for about an hour, aud who was particularly severo on the enormity of several of the articles in the Constitution, lately adopted by the mongrels of this State, a Constitution was presented and adopted, and the club duly or? ganized. The club is known as the Long Branch D?mocratie Club. The officers are-John Rall, President; Daniel Kleckley, Vice-president; and W. F. Caugbman, Secretary. Tho standard of Democracy is up? ward and onward, and wo think we can venture the prediction, that the days of mongrelism in Lexington District will soon be numbered. JOHN RALL, President. W. F. CAUOUMAN, Secretary. Pleasant flocdo and J. Minor rake great pleasure in contradicting a statement reoently Hiedo by ono Mr. Boozer, of Lexington, conoerning a seizure and journey to "Fort Sum? ter," under disagreeable circum? stances, for voting the Democratic ticket. Such is not the case; nor is it likely, unless they should bc sent as au escort, conveying the body of somo unfortunate "radical" to his future resting-place. _ DEMOCRATS. It is estimated that in New York oity there ore about 10,000 workmen, of various callings, on strikes for higher wages. Impeachment from mn English Point JULI im ? i m i 'i i II -^C< JWMK* <??.i IWWIHHII The great State trialpf the new world ia rapidly approaching ito close, and any hour rnsy now. bring in; iutelligonco of tho judgment pro [nouBoedXupon Andrew Johnson by |the Jamepcan Senate. It ia VffHHK lend or affnighty oonfliot-*ayr singBBr ?exam plo of political bathos. The ?most gifpotio, costly and, sanguinary struggle ever known has dwindled Into a prosecution of which we, in thi? country, can only think that it need never have been instituted at ?IL Whether the President of the Republic did pr did not commit the offences imputed id him, ii a-ques? tion which it really seems hardly nrcessnry tb entertain, KO plain does tho conclusion appear, according to Eufflish opinions, that these offences were hot such as shoril<?hs.vs put L??? upon his trial. The whole charge against Presi? dent Johnson amounts to little more than this, that ho ' placed'himself in opposition to Congress. The Execu? tive and the Legislature have been for some timo at'variance; but that is a misfortune Which ' might occur at any time. The Constitution gave powers to Congress and powers .to the President; and it' was always possible that these authorities might differ in opinion. No doubt such an antagonism might be carried by a President to such a point, and be supported by such measures as would justify an impeachment, but it seema impossible to regard in sud) a light as this any of the proceedings ascrib? ed to Mr. Johnson.. That he did no) sympathize with the views of Con? gress is, of oourso, notorious, but iu America opinions are surely free that he spoke without much respect of Congress,, may bo admitted; bul in America speech is very freo in deed. We know of nothing said bj the President, on this subject, whict might not have been said of Parlia ment or ministers here, withont creating: moro than a passing remark, and certainly members of Congresi have spoken as hardly of Andrev Johnson, as ever he spoke of them. There was a political feud betweei the parties, and party feeling rnr high; bnt as things go in America and, indeed, in all free countries, i seems out of all measures to maki angry words the ground of a sol emt impeachment. The impeachment of ,the Chie Magistrate of a nation, is an act o extreme gravity, to 'be justified bbl; by overpowering considerations o public welfare. We fail to disceri anything resembling such justifica tion in the caso before us. It appear to us ouly an unmeasured expressioi of party feeling. A Republican Con gress has been impatient of a Dcmc eratic President, and that is all. ] is certainly possible that a maj ont of tho Senate may rule conscientious ly, as well as rightly, that Presiden Johnson's attempt to dismiss Mi Stanton was a violation of law; bu it will not be held in Europe, aud w should think it would not be held i America, that tho act was such a vir la tion of law as to demand these e? treme proceedings. It will be fe easier to rule that the President hu occasionally been indiscreetof speeel but this, too, will give very little sui Kort to the case for irnpeaebmeu lobody can deny that 1'Jr. Johnson .conduct has fallen short of tho dign ly of his place; but we aro bonna 1 add that, upon the whole, it has bee as becoming and as politic as thoi who placed him in office by the votes were entitled to anticip?t Taking his official career from first i last, he hos certainly exceeded tl expectations which were formed ? him. It is not for us to beg tl question by deciding between tl claims of Republican and Democr tic principles; but even if it be a snmed that the policy pursued L Congress was right, and that adv outed by tho President wrong, the was no rensou on this ground f putting the President on his trii Congress had its own, though with little opposition. It waar thwarto but it could not be controlled. Tl President, as u matter of fact, d not succeed in removing Mr. S tan to nor could he enforce his own vioi on tho reconstruction of the Sout It cannot bu pleaded that there w nny necessity for depriving him the power to do evil. He votoi the measures of Congress, but Co gress passed them over his veto, ai the actual policy of tho United Stat was not D?mocratie, but Republics Congress had the upperhand, ai might have been content with : power. It would be botter, of conn that the Executive and Legislutu should bo in harmony with ea other, instead of contending in du: conflict, but sa?u differences are t natural incidents of political freodoi [London Times, April 23.
