SHERIDAN.
WINCHESTER AND NEW ORLEANS.
With trumpet's cry and mil of drums.
This way the tide of battle Tomes;
All the vast spares of the hills
The thunder of the cannon fills
Nearer it corneal And who are these,
Like broken waves of stormy aeas.
Long lines of shattered blue, that meat
In rout, confusion and defeat ?
Up the long read the columns 8y,
And still the Herco triumphant cry
Pursues, and yon dark cloud of gray
Comes surely," swiftly on this way.
Its rolling thunder louder grows.
Its deadly lightning leaps ami glows,
And these who fly our friends; aud those who
rhae our foes.
Now, for that crushed and ruined host,
Ia victory forever lost?
Norlhward ii flies, at d Northward comes
The roll of ICarlv's rebel drums;
Our banners in Lis ranks are living.
His march ia on our dead and dving:
Northward he comes, and who slisll stay
His swift, resistless liuea of gray T
Rut one stern face is Southward set;
Hut one man is not beaten yet ;
Not pt, though all besides should fly,
Not yet, thowc;h faithless victory
Peichrs on Kebel flags forever
The Corps is whipped tho Oencral never I
Iio I 'tis an army that bath fled.
And none are heroes but the dead,
When Tiding dawn the Valley far
He brought a soul into the war.
Kwilt came the trump ing atecd, mors swift
Tho rider" spirit; as he dune
His voice went forth before his sword,
Aud slew the fears of men with shame.
Then when hu met the mighty root.
What was his or lei ? " KaOk Abch'tI"
As flame through flamo the order ran ;
Southward they faced, yea I every man
Faced South- then cheered for Sukiuha.
Ah t right well Jnbal Karly knew
Who hurled that avalanche of blue;
He knew whose hand had turmtd the flight
And struck full in the face bis van;
Too well he'd felt in many a fight
The strong ricjit arm of Shoiidaii.
And be who led our legions onward,
And bore their darkened baniurs sunward,
Not less iu peace tliau war was great.
Hut as he marched an army, ruled a State
Straightforward, pausing not, n-r turning.
All bU great soul within him burnimr.
To do the right thing, and to do it well.
What mattered it to him who should oppose?
Hu loreil his country better than his place,
And thoas who bated her bo held bis foes.
Thii was your crime, O Sheridan I that you,
When bad men traded in their country's sin,
Maintained he. honor, and enforced the right
To hold the victory you fought to win.
Defeated? Ves, but glorious sncb defeat.
Conquered 1 Are, only hen the Right is slaiu.
Thou art become "a principle to us,
And as a principle shalt rise "again.
I know that Truth fch ill triumph. Not in vain
Men suffer iu her cause; thy name shall be
The rallying ory of millions who maintain
High in the stars the llanner of the Free.
Thy country's foes may boast they overcame,
Uut thine the glory is theirs the eternal shame.
The Campaign.
John Sherman on the Constitutional.
Amendment.
Why the Ballot should be
given the Negro.
'.Senator Sherman spoke at Canton, Sturk
County, ou tha evening of the 20tli tilt. In
opening, lio gave his reasons wliy tho Con
stitutional Amendment should be adopted
He enid :
: I am requested, fellow citizens, by the
Stnto Executive Comniilteo of the Union
party, to xpu ik to yon in rejrurd to politi
cal topics. 1 never entered upon a can
vass of this kind without a feeling of dif
fi ieuco and a Bonne of the responsibility
tb:it resin upon nil of us. Our General
Government, unlike most governments,
rests mainly upon popular opinion. ..Al
though yon can act upon political questions
only through representatives, yet, directly
or remotely, every question depends upon
tho judgment of the public. Every meet
ing ol the peoplo is a primary UongtOKS;
therefore, iu speaking to you, 1 can only
claim the same interest iu public affairs
that each citizen possess?!. .
I will state to you frankly my own opin
ions upon some of the mutters involved in
tho next election. It is for' you to say
wholher they are right or wrong.
In addition to the usual election of Stale
officers, in Ohio, wo are required to vote
for or against an amendment of our Slate
Constitution. It is submitted to us by the
Leghlature,, and if, in voting, we do not
vote for it, our vole ia counted against it.
'ihe quehti.iii ia, w ho shall hereolter voto
iuUhio? The amendment provides that
every male citizen of the United States, of
the age of 21 years, who has the proper
result nee, may vote at nil elections, unless
he baa borua armsagainsl the United States
or has tied the drult, or has deserted bis
0 Jors in the Union atmy iu time ol war.
In other words, it is universal inauhrod
suffrage, unless tho right to vole is for
feited by bis tiinus.
I'll 1 8 is the same question that is now
agitating more countries than our own.
No nioie important one ran bn submitted
to you. It lies at tiie founda'ion of all
fcOVci nineiit, where '.he people have uny
purl iu tlietr government, and is preliminary
to all other political queMiuua.
Iio shiill vole in Unio T
The general answer should be that every
person should vote who" life or property
is affected by ibe laws. This rule ia found
ed upon generul axioms that are the foun
elation of our system.
All just governments are based upon the
consent of tho governed. '
luxation without it'presentatioii ia tyr
anny. ,
AH persons are equal before the law.
and should I ave an equal voice in making
:iie laws. All these axioms point to the
broadest nuffi age ; but as by natural law
all persons cannot vole, exceptions neces
sarily, exist limiting universal suffrage.
All exclusions Iroto the right to vote
should be foutided upon the strongeslJ
reasons. W lienever the reason for exolu
siou is of doubtful force, the right to vote
out lit to exist.
This amendment exludea all minors
under the ate of twe:ity-one years, for tha
obvious reaton that until a certain aga
persons are not capable to take charge
e''eo of their own property. Women are
excluded, because it is conceived that fam
ily tits ami duties are inconsistent with
the turbulence of political strife, and be
cause they are buffiuiently represented by
tueir nusoaiius aim Kindred.
I am not s sure about the exclusion of
women, or the recent discoveries on this
subject in Englat d and America have
shown that the reasons for their exclusion
are not So clear ; but we can well leave this
question staud as it is for the present.
The ladit-u will make their voices beard
due tune.
Others ale excluded for Idioct. lunacy.
ud lur orioia. These are obvious reasons,
I3ut the tuateril quvation is, whether it
is just for us to exclude persona from the
elective franchise merely because they are
wholly or in part of African descent.
anon an exclusion founded upon reason or
justice? Should they, without any other
reason, be excluded from nil political riuhts
the most sacred of which ia to voto. They
have property to be taxed, and are ul.
)ct to our laws, Kvery burden imposed
by the Slate upon other men they must
bear. They are subject to military duty
are pun in hod for crimes and offenses, am
are amenable to all your State, county and
municipal corporations.
They have families to support, anil are
governed liy the same allcctioua, passions
aim necessities to winch you are subiect
They were born on our-noil aud have no
other allegiance or country than our own
They are educated at our schools, and can
testify in our courts. Thev are few in
number, and could not, if they would, com
bine to jeopardize our institution. They
were allowed to vote in all tho original
Slates except South Carolina, aud no evil
ever resulted from it.
It ia a will-known historical fact that
some of the most eminent statesmen of the
South owed their election to free negro
Votes,
In Ohio, all nearer white than black have
always been allowed to vote.
Lnder this unjust diacriminatio", trus
tees not spcciully skilled in color have
been bothered to decide whether a votor
waa nearer while or black, and generally
decided it according to tho complexion of
(lie vote and not luo voter.
They are not exclu hd by any Christian
nalinn in the woiM but ours. In Creat
Britain, France, I'mnsla, aid Italy, elec
tioiia occur more or less general in chnrao
ler. and in none ot thein are men excluded
merely for the color of their skin.
Uur American system ol elections is
slowly revolutionizing tho woiM, and yet
no nation has adopted our exclusion of
persona of African descent. ,
The truth is, it ia bused upon a narrow
prejudice ol enste, not loundeil upon rea
son or i.atural laws, but the offspring of
the same intolerance aud bigotry that ex
cluded tho Israelite from all pin ticipatioi
in Iho government ol the Kgypiiuus. They
are not willing to exclude either ignorant
or intc'Ilik'eiit rebt-R They welcome to
their embrace men whose hands are yet
red Willi Hie blood of our kindred.
It is only a '' nigger" they would exclude
It is nothing to them that tho nigger baa
fought lor our country, lias been wc-uudud
In our service, is intelligent, sober, nidus
ti ions ; he is a nigger, and therefore must
liavo no Voice in public afl'.irs.
1 am far from admitting that there if
such a viarked inferiority among tho col
ored people of Ohio as' our Democratic
friends assert. There uro worthless c ar
actors among them, but through what
terribje process have thoy passed for forty
years. . Hejeoted, depressed, excluded from
most enjoyments ot life, excluded from
sohools. and even from churches devoted
to the worship of Almiuhly God : without
politicnl rights, at times without protection.
enner ny i.iw or ptintiu opinion j uy the
same prejudice Ihat divides the Chinese
and Hindoos into custe ; Iho saiuo that
makes an Acialiu retard all Euopoana us
bin but iatia ; Ihe tame lei ling ofpiide and
intolerance winch emu I -s an aristocracy in
Gicat iiritain to exclude the lah.iriug
il.iKHca from all voice in the, G ivcnmini.l.
Wo owe it lo our character as American
eitiz-ns to free ourselves from such pre
judices, and to be just to those who are
horn on our soil, share in our burdens, and
are only different from us in that their an
cestors came from a different part of God's
world than oui a did. '
What reason do our Detnocratio friends
give for keeping up this bun ol prejudice
...r.,,i.ot ll, I ,..,,. t TL I
I imagine, ia because thoy have no hope of
getting the duikiea to vote with them. Out
they tell us negroes are not intelligent
enough lo vote. And yet they do iiot
propase to base voting upon intelligence.
They do not ask to exclude those, who can
not read or write. They do not ask us to
exclude ptrsoua who cannot understand
our language, and yet, with all these tcr
tilde disadvantages, it cannot be said that
they are so ignorant as to be unfit to share
with all other men In the right to gov
ern themselves: Take off the bun- of
prejudice, give them an equal chanco, und
then make the comparison.
They say that the negro was enslaved
in his own country; that Africa lias never
produced great statesmen, poets or 'me
chanics. Well, if that ariliment is good.
it ought to apply to families as Well as
races. Would it )e fair to exclude a man
from high office because his ancestors
have lived for centuries in civilized society,
and not one of them has left a name T Our
own race has been groping; 'its way up
ward so slowly that we cannot set our
selves fur above other men,' without the
same presumption for which we sneer at
the Chinese. All races are ' descended
from one stock, if we can believe tho Bible,
except Nasby's. All differences are llio
result of climate and opportunities of civ
ilization. Even if our race is better than the negro
race, that is no reason why we should de
prive them of equal rights. It is only an
other reason why we should give them
an equal chance with us.
And, fellow citizens, there are special
reasons why we should allow the colored
people to vote in Ohio, and why (he lie
publican party, which has been the bill-
wai k of our country during its recent his
lory, should thecitn'ly extend this right.
Their exclusion is the remnant of tho bar
baric influenco ot slavery, and should fall
with the rest of the infeiual system. Uut
fur slavery it would never have existed.
The word " while" was inserted in the Con
s' ittitinn of 1802, because tho frnme.rs f
that Constitution, being mostly from slive
hohliug Slates, wero anxious to ejtolnde
from t lie State negroes who were dubaned
by slavery. Ohio was ' among tho first to
exclude negroes from the right of suffrage,
and (his was soon followed by an infamous
code of black laws. This coda was re
pealed by general consent, and all that Is
lull of it iu what wdl be stricken out by
this amendment. As Ohio of all the new
States took the lead in a wrong, it should
be the first to retract it.
We have borne our share in the strug
gles and sacrifices by which slavery has
been expurgated from our system. In this
great and good work wo have trampled
under foot the social habits aud customs of
millions, of people. Let us not rest until
we have completed our work by restoring
to the few colored eople among us, his
natural right to participate in hia own gov
ernment. And we must not forget that
during our war the colored people of Ohio
have fsirly won their right to vote. Long
before public opinion justified the forma
tion of negro troops iu Ohio, they formed
companies iu Ohio and joined Massachu
setta regiments. hVfuiu the war closed
more than their ratable proportion of mules
entered the service and behaved gallantly.
Now, when i ou are excluding lioiu the

No, fellow oitizona, this question ia settled.
When we were drawn to the necessity of
employing negro soldier, we were bound
to give theiu votes. In tho language of an
American General, when they drop the
musket you cannot withhold trom them the
ballot. ,
Again, fellow-aitixens, a decent consis
tency demands it el us. We have through
your ltepreaentativea in Congress, for high
national purposes, prescribed negro suf
frage for the South as one of the considoia
tions of representation. Can we refuse it
at the North 1 -
Alter tho gravest consideration, we saw
no safe basia of reconstruction tu the South
except generul sutTruge, white and black.
I may speak of other reasons hereafter, but
now we have the simple faut that we, with
the will and power of a coiiquerer engrafted
upon tho registry of votea "00,000 black
men who had recently been slaves. We
did it to arcure for ourselves and for the
whtdo country, u broader and more loyal
basis ot Government, and to secure us
against future wars and rebellion.
Shall we now, when the question sffcqts
our own registry, rol'uao to insert sevou
thousand muu of t lie same Color, men who
were born aiming u, who have always
been fiee, who are far more intelligent than
the new citizons of the South, and very
many of whom hnvo fought our bat ties with
courage, and fidelity ?
I can only say, my follow-oitizons, that if
I thought the pnoplo of Ohio could be
guilty of so grave an inconsistency, so
grave an injustice, I would not represent
them with that faith and coulidouce it , lias
been my pride lo feel for thorn.
Tlit logiciil consequence of the great
events through which wo have passed is
to broaden the elective fianchir.a. to
strengthen the National Government, and
to huiuicnize it with the principles laid
down in the Declaration of Independence.
This amendmout tends in the sumo direc
tion, and I bog of you to do as you have
done during tho war, to disregard the anoors
of a party that Uvea by petty prejud.o.
Let us do an act of justice worthy of tho

A correspondent of the Cincinnati O.i-
tcti has Ihe following concerning Hon. Ka
M.Stanton:
Sonietin e in the future, when th secret
history of Iho great rebellion ia fully writ
ton up, it will be discovered that at leant
twice in Us progress, our country was
saved from absolute destruction by one
man nlouo, and that mini Edwin M. Stan
ton. The first would have occurred through
the inibec Lty ot James Buchanan Ihe seu
ond through the treason of Andrew John
son.
The first incident, alluded to, mar. per
haps, already bo outlined without bieuch
of confidence.
It will be remembered that in the month
of December, I860, Lewis Cass, then Secre
tary of btale, resigned his position, and
that Attorney General (Hack was promoted
to fill the vacancy. The exit of Generul
Caus loft but one loyal man in the Cubinot,
viz: Postmaster General Holt. Flovd.
the uilamous. was Hocretarv of War:
Thomas, the bond thief, was Secrolary of
the Treasury, and Toucey, tho renegade,
waa becretary ot the Navy. Treason ruled
tho roaut.' With a majority in Ihe Cabinet,
the suprome "otlrt and the Senate, every
thing snemed to indicate plain sailing, and
a sure thing lor the success of the rebol
schemes. In all human probability, it
would have been a sure thing but for an in
tervening circumstance. The Confederacy
was already substantially organised, and
only awaited full inauguration, until the
"reriniiiiary programme of transferrin!; tho
United States forts, arsonuls,' ko., could be
completed, Full arrangements hud boon
made with Fiance and England fur the im
mediate recognition of Ihe Confederacy, as
soon sb the seizure of the cily of Washing
ton should indicate a de facto power of suf
ficient power to justify such recognition to
other nations, it is true a little bitch: had
occurred iu the meantime, and the , denono
meut'delayed by tho unexpected action of
Major Anderson, in moving into Fort Sum
ter, but this was- not considered serious,

manage tho matter. "All went merry a a

pointed to fill it, the ofhee, apparently,
id not amount to very muuli in tho way of
furthering or determining the rebel schemes
and therefore, it prububly did not receive
very much attontion from the conspirators.
Possibly, thoy may have thought that Stan
ton was in sympathy with them. He was
Northern Democrat, and was understood
to bava supported lii ewkeuridge for I'reui
dent ; and proh.tbly this was considered a
sufficient gnarraiity of at least neutrality
on hia part. However this may be, Mr.
Stanton was appointed Attorney General,
and entered upon the duties of his office.
Unfortunately for rebellion the new Secre
tary had a programme of his own, antagon
istic to theirs and he also had the pluck
and will to back it. What bis programme
was, may bo surmised from a single remark
made, by hi in at the tiwe, .to a coutidonliul
friend (now dead) who was about leaving
the city, " To-morrow," said the Boero
tury, " I meet iu Cabinet council, fur tho

Sculptured Obscenity.
There is one matter in relation to Pom
peii that is seldom touched too closely, to
wit : The horrible depravity of the Pom
peians, as illustrated by the frescoes, mo.
saios, sculptures and bronr.ed flatties that
are found. Hundreds of these vile objects
have been carried away to the museum in
Naples, and put in a room which no wo
man ia allowed to visit; but there a,fs stilt
houses in Pompeii that are kept locked,
and other have such sculptures over the!
doors ou the ou'sido that the guides hurry
past them when there are women in the
parly. Even in private house thete are
cores of frescoes, niiigiiilioeiitly executed
too which one would dare to visit only in
company with his nearest und dearest
friends, if ludic s, and in other bouses pic
tures and etutuu lliuu which none can
imagine anything Worse. I cannot under
stand why the writers havo boon so anx
