The villianous Slaveholders are unconstitutionally at work to interfere with the domestic institutions of the Northern Stales. The Richmond Enquirer, the leading Democratic paper of Virginia, has the following impudent and "incendiary" article, respecting Colored Suffrage in New York: 'Can any patriot look on the picture, and not deprecate the Whig movement in New York, to place the blacks on a par with the white voters? Instead of a full extension of the right of suffrage to the free negroes, we hope to see the present modified right of suffrage stricken entirely off - it is warmly recommended by some of the New York democratic papers. We call upon the New democracy to stand their ground upon the resolutions of the New York city democracy, and put down all factious movements of the Whigs, on this important point.' The Lynchburgh Republican says this scheme of universal suffrage is 'repugnant to every conception of decency and republicanism,' - and calls upon the people to frown upon all who are in favor of it. Now we would refer these meddlers in other peoples business, to the porschion of Henry Clay, that the right to discuss implies the right act: and as they have no right to act on the question of Colored Suffrage in New York, they have no business to talk or write about it! A correspondent of the Ashtabula Sentinel, supposed to be Mr. Giddings, writes from Washington: 'The dough-faces were never more shameless than at this session. They wrote as directed by their masters. But the Northern and Southern sections are become more distinctly marked. Southern Whigs are more subservient to the slaveholding interest, and Northern Locos are more afraid of burning their fingers than heretofore.'
