Colored Suffrage

It will be seen by the Legislntive doingsthat the question of Colored SuiFrage has been before the House of Representatives, and ihat quite a number of the members voteJ two opposite ways upon it in a few ninutes! Vastly consistent for immacülate Demócrata, the advocates of Equal Rights!The Signal op Libkbty.- We give' on our first page an nrticler from the Signal of Liberty, fMichignnJ on " Antislavery Political Union," whieh in our opinión is nothing more than the asserion of the Liberty Party doctrine, as we inderstnnd it. It will be remembered hat ihe Sign.il did, fora time, advocate he policy ofmnking the Libgrty party a general reform party, and ihat it abnndoned that policy when it ascertained that urging it was calculated to dislract and üvide the real friends oftheslave. The Signal seams lo suppose that the views t iiow advocates are new, and that the 'Union" it proposes to est-iblise among e.il anti-slavery men of all parties is an intried experiment. We differ in this, and mainiain that the basis which he prooses for such union, is substnntially old ashioned Liberty party doctrine. It is o make slavery the r.ucleus, the one-idea. of the organiz:ition and all oiher questions subordínate to it, both in its aims and the qualifications of its candidates. This is the true ground, and the only successful ground for tbe overthrow of slavery. - Ulica Liberty Press. Allhough the Liberty Press published our articie, it scems to have misapprehended its import. Our argument was likethis: we, as nntislavery men, wish for certa in things to be done, viz: the repeal of the Slave Laws, nnd the exclusión of Slaveholdcrs from office. These objects can be altainecï by the election of such men to office as will carry Ihem out. Henee, it is not the ascendency ol this or that tarty that is needed, bui the election of acting antislavery men to office. Henee, on this common sense view of the matter, wc proposed that anti-slavery men should support those candidates of all parties, who agreed with them in sentiment and in prospectivo action. Ourlanguage was certainly explicit enough. After mentioning the points necessary to secure our support, we said, - u Any man of any party of sufficient ta'ents and abilities, and unobjeciionuble on the score of character, who should, in a manly and open manner, avow and act upon the five points first nbove specified, we ihink might receive the cordial sup portofevery anti-slavery man. To nli practical intentsand purposes, he wauk be one of us. The evidence of tlrs is seen in the fuct that were all our offices filiad wiih me who wouli oct out these sentimenis, our work would immcdiatcly be done !" We care not whclher our doctrine be "new" or old, if it be wise and proper : but if t be "Liberty party doctrine," we have failed to discover it in six years perusal of Liberty papers, and thodoings o their Convention?. On t!ie conlrarv, their "doctrine" has been to vole only for candidates of their own pnrty. For evidence, see all the Liberty pnpers, the Emancipator and Philanthropist especially. We have failed to discover an thing of the kind even in the Liberty Press. True, it has taken ground for supporting that tarty which should declare and act for Abolition, but not for support - ing separate candidates of the other par ties who might be ontislavery men. Is our brother of the Liberty Pross roady to do this ?
