Tut Radical Convention at Chicago
which nominated Ght v.er Jeolared in
itn platform that the people of the `Hop•
al" Ptatea alone had the power to de•
termitic for theu+sel'•ce the gueatiori of
ttegro autfrage--thab it could pot be
formed *pm+ them, and that it was not
tl miLticr for Cong,tc:Aionitt Legislation,
On thin platlvrril I:1N P (VLIH
How has tho 4,olitration of that
platform been adhered to ? It has not
been adhered to at all. No sooner had
the ,eleetion• been decided than the
Radical Congress began to tinker up
something in the shape of an Amend.
ment to the Constitution, to take the
power of regulating the question of ne
gro suffrage out of the hands of the
people of the states and to vest it in the
State Legislatures. This piece of miser
able chicanery they called' the 15th
Amendment, and it given the negroes
all over the Union the right to vote as
soon as it is ratified by the Legislatures
of twenty-eight states. This is hove
the Radicals have fulfilled the pledge
made to the people at their Chicago
Convention. They declared then that the
people alone had the right, to decide the
the matter , they declare now that the
people have sta rtylits in the premises,
but that negro suffrage shall be forced
on them, whether they arc willing or
otherwise.
Senator W A Ltitcz tested Radical
sincerity in this matter the other day,
when he offered in his place in the
State Senate, the following preamble
and resolutions :
"%Vanua the Congress of the United Statee
has proposed an amendment to to the Constitu
tion thereof, to he kdown as Article XV, which
changes the role of suffrage now e listing an
this Common,. ealth, and substitutes therefor
another and aditterent rule, which said amend•
meta In now ioditoltted to the legislatures of
the different Staten for ratification. and
W, "All power ainherent in the pen
ple,- nod it is right that they should have on
opportunity to veto for or against the rat ifli
tfon of the said amendment Anil to determine
whether they will nit change the rule of sof
(rage now existing. therefore
Besot Pert That the Jusileiarx Committeeof
the Senate lie and they are hereby , instructed
to prepare and forthwith report to the Senate
a toil for the luting iesion of the question of the rat I
firnhon of the Ana nmeniforient to the pup!, nt the
election In Orfober 1560
ItaohaL That the Senate will not net open
the questson of the ratlficadon of the *tatd
amendment to the Coted dation of the United
State.% at Its present emotion, hut will *watt the
net ion of Silo people at the polls thereon"
These resolutions, no eminently just
rind proper, Were immediately noted
dorm by the Radical majority, All
theDemorrntavoted for themand all the
Radicals agaiii‘t them.. But they hare
put the Radical members of the Senate
on the record, and a most infamous
MIME!
The Democracy desire to leate thin
question to It tote of the people, and
bad Mr. Wtr.i.lcc's rt-tolutions been
adopted, this would fume lace the is
sue next fall, and our State spared the
disgrace of forcing upon the people a
inewire to ts htelt 'whelp they are
alnioQt unanimously opposed. But
they failed, and since then the majori
ty iu the Senate hive added to their in•
filmy by passing the amendment, there
by, in effect, saying to the white citt•
zenx of the State, •'W are your mu,-
tors—not your servant..."
How any conscientious Radical—if,
in the nature of thing, there can be
such an anotnaly —can hereafter sup
port a party that so openly and un
blushingly violates its pledges and
tramples upon its avowed principles,
15 to us an incompielteust,ble mystery.
Surely he should coma out and disavow
his allegiance to a power that is en.
deavoring to cell his lurth-right fur a
mess of negro 'pottage. •
Ml•itii•sota I.o7,l4lnture,
which in Rifibe a l, h i , A
set the Radicals of our Skive art exam
ple they would do well to Rillow. In
stead of passing the negro sliffrage
amendment at the behest of the Ruth
Congress and the ORAIsT adminikra•
lion, they adjourned Avithollt.titkiin
any action on the subject, in order to
give the people of that State a chance
to express their views upon it. Thin is
honorable, and shows a higher code of
principle than we thought existed any.
where in the Radical party. But there
is not the least probabiltty that our
Pennsylvania Radicals u ill follow the
Minnesota lead. They have no prin

negro suffrage without a qualm.
