Wc sel ic down to the credit of tho Democrnt ie party of tliis State, thnt only one pnper o tfiat pnn?, éö for as wo havo noticcd, Iris ninni fested is ro'tcnness !y □ttemp'üng to frnmenn nr gument ngaínstthc extensión of suflrngc to col ored citizene.

Li Iiancroft purports to c editor, has art argument of three colü-nns on the ftubject, which makes it as clcar as mud. Lcsi wo should do injustico to the author we will givo tho opening of his nrguineiu in his owu wordi :"We cohcéive (liis project of universal suíTragc - ihie atiempt (o unite races whose physieal conformaiions. tasics, Jiabiis and ntuilions nrc nsopposite as Uiiiir color, ae bcintj nolliing lcss llia.i nn nltempt to tliwnrt the inianiiona of an allwiao Crcator; bcüee poütcal e.ju.ility, if once eilablishcd as the law of tho land añil sanctioncd by a vitiated public opinión, implica and would pcrinit social equnhty, whicl wuuld inveitybly faroduce a unión of orders of creatioh nsdissimilar in thcir evory nttributea, as any that exisis betvreen thoso of luwer grades; nnd whicli uu ion would bo as unnaturol and rcpuirnant tor.y unperverted 6ense 01 propricty, ds tliat of o dovo wiih a pnlmiped sea fow, a clcnnly, 8mooth haircd doo with a odi'crous, ehiigoy-beardud gödt, ür Of n girmralkin with a poleeat." The exiraordinary "taites'' and "seiuc of profrictij," displnyed by the writcr, precludo all comment on tlns pnesagc. Üaviny nssumed ihc falso position, that social equality would neccssarily follow ihc porticipalion df eqtíal pólitical righls, Mr. Bancroit goes on to cliów tliát ;'t Í3 heecseary that a latent rcpilglance to ene li othcr elioüld eiiet botwecn llio two mees"; and speaks of au "innutc antipathy" eotubliehed by the Creötdl1. Vcry well: if this be 80, let the Crealor'e work nlonc: what ncod of legiilating for the prcservaüon of tliia "innatc antipathy " :-' But depri vation of the right of suflrage 3 no preaervative of this 'untipothy" nor preventative ol malgamation: fói the writer woll knows, i( he knovs any Üiin, that where the colorcd pcoplc are held a3 élayc, inovcry part oftheearth, amalgamation ia general: whercae in Vormont nnd Massachusetts,wncre an uave uaü oqual nghis tor lialf o century, it ia vcry rare. A ma like che slaceholdar, UicJiard M. Johnson, a notorious and inmoral amalgamajor, could not auain to political cminonce in those States. Yet tho Democracy votod him intö the Vict Preaidency üf tho Uni'.ec!

"Ab stractly couoicícrctl" he admilc thís tü be truc; but then Jcflüraon and Iiis compairiots held elavfe; and thoy proclainied the existonco of theao [naiural] rights for tho üancfit of the whole World: but thcy eought to cslablisk them only forthcgreatcr happincss of tuemselves nnj their posterity!" Ilonco Mr. Bancroft conclu los (hat il the blacks Ceel nggrieved or dissatiafieii,they have a natural right to eBtablish o governinent of their owa.iq any part of tho world, provided thcy don't interfere with "institutions we have establisïicd for our goud"!
