The Baltimore Transcript of November 22d expresses some sensible views on a subject heretofore commented on by the Valley Virginian. In speaking about the colored people it says:

"There are one or two matters apparently trivial, but really important, to which we beg to call the attention of the Southern employer. The colored race in this country have a fixed aversion to being called "negroes" and particularly "damn negroes." When we devote a little reflection to this subject, it really seems a trifling point to haggle on a thing such as this. It is hardly worth any gentleman's or lady's while to hurt the feelings of a dependent. If, therefore, they prefer to be called "servants," or "colored people," for Heaven's sake, let them be styled! This appears to be a small matter, but those familiar with African peculiarities, know that it is one of considerable moment.

With regard to extending the right of suffrage to the colored population. They might as well know now, once for all, that the South is fixedly opposed to it, and will never yield except upon compulsion.

We are opposed to extending this franchise, 1st, because the North insolently, unconstitutionally, and unjustly endeavoring to force it upon us. It is our affair and not theirs. We are opposed to it, secondly, because we do not think that the colored race are fit to exercise the right of suffrage. Many of us believe that there are too many white men who are not fit to vote, and that allowing them to do so, has been demonstrated to be a profound mistake. This we are not willing to repeat on such an extended scale. There are some few colored men who undoubtedly have the requisite intelligence, but they must be the first to acknowledge that the great mass of their countrymen are utterly unfit for the exercise of this most important right.

If the South is compelled by the North to yield in this particular, intelligent colored men can readily understand that this privilege of voting, obtained by these means, will bring about the speedy ruin of their people. Then will commence the clash of races at the South. Rather than have a hostile population in their midst, the Southern proprietors of land, the employers, the employers of the colored race, will speedily obtain from abroad the requistite supply of labor, and the African will disappear from this continent as surely and suddenly as the Indian. The places that know him now will know him no more, and he will become a thing of the past, "a school boy's dream, the wonder of an hoar."
