CLEARFIELD, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8,
THE FOURTEENTH ARTICLE.
Is it Valid or is it Not-Seward's
Proclamation.
TB AWNOUNCEMKNT.
A very singular proclamation wa
iattuctl from tiio Dopartinenl of State
on tho 2Htli of July lout, announcing
in a conditional manner that tbo pro
poned fourteenth amendment ltud be
eomo valid to all intents and purposes
as a part of tho ConHtitution, provided
something is trua which tho Secretary
of tftute did not undertake to say is or
in not truo. This unprecedented oreut
in our constitutional history is calcu
lated to give us pauso. For tho first
time since we had a Constitution, the
hk'h ollicer whose duty it is by luw to
announce the final adoption of amend
ments oi mat instrument is unable or
unwilling to say with cerUiutv.ou the
puuuc lacxs oeioro mm, wbethor an
amendment baa been duly ratified by
tho requisite number of iStates or not.
IVhother tho want of a positive officiul
announccmcirt by way of legal finding
ui me mei ui aaopuon u conclusive
against the validity ol the adoption
supposed to have taken place in this
instance, it is perhaps not now neces
sary to inquire. Jt is, at all events,
omcially announced that there is
question respecting this matter; and
inis novel situation leads to inquiry
into the grounds of the doubt, llow
it happens that there should be
doubt, what -that doubt is, and how
it should be solved, are very grave
mailers.
tBZ LOGIC or FACTS.
The facts of the case ore these :
There are thirty-seven States in the
Union. Tbo ratifications of at least
twenty-seven are necessary to tbe
adoption of any amendment. Oi the
tweuty-th rcc Slut es, consisting of Coo
necticut, Now Hampshire, Tennessee,
New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia,
Kansas, Maine, Nevada, Missouri, In
diana, Minnesota, llhode Island, Wis
consin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Mas
sachusetts, Nebraska and Iowa, which
had ratified tho amendment before the
official announcement, tico, namely :
Ohio and New Jersey, withdrew their
ratifications before any of tho remain
ing States bad acted. If that with
drawal wa rightful, tho ratifying
oiaies, oi inosc bdovo lecitcd, are 21 ;
ii it was not nglitttil, they are TJ. In
either case tho ratifications of Arkan
sas, Florida, North Carolina and Ala
bama, six .States, or' somo of them.
were ncoary to the adoption of tho
amendment. If Ohio and New Jersey
are not to bo counted, tho whole of
tho above six are necessary : if those
two State aro to be counted, four out
of the six aro sufficient to make on
the requisite number of 27. In cithor
case, tbei-wfore, whether Ohio and New
Jersey are counted or not counted tin
ratifying States, no point of tinio has
yet been reached at which this amend
ment has been ratified by twonty
seven States, onions tbe ratifications
were valid which have been given by
the supposed Legislatures of States
reconstructed under acts of Congress
by the military power of the United
States.
a nevitw or Tn rrrEcr Tnr.rtEor.
Tbo Secretary of Stato, after reci
ting tho course of events, and after
reciting that tho law under which he
acts has not mado it his duty to docido
whether tho ratifications of Ohio and
New Jersey could bo or have been
validly withdrawn, or whether "the
newly constituted and newly cstab
liabed bodies avowing themselves to
be acting as the Legislatures" of the
six Southern and reconstructed Slates
could rightfully act on tho proposed
amendment, nevertheless proceeds to
announce that if the Stales of Ohio
and New Jersey are to be counted as
ratifyingStatcs, notwithstanding their
withdrawal, then tho amendment has
become valid to all intents and purpo
ses as part of the Constitution ; thus
appearing to decide one of the very
questions which be said in the former
part of hia proclamation it was not
his province to decide. I do not know
whother he intended to bo understood
as expressing tho opinion that tho
ratifications by those bodies which be
calls "newly constituted," and which
1 shall call prrtendet legislatures, are
valid, and at the same tunc to say that
bis official duty did not reouiro him to
pass upon that question, lly the terms
ol bis proclamation ho lias expressed
bis opinion officially that tho amend
ment has been duly adopted, if tho
withdrawals of Ohio and New Jersey
of their previous ratifications, aro to
be disregarded. Jint it is as clear as
figures can mako it that whothcrOhio
and New Jersey aro counted in or
counted out, if the ratifications of the
Cretcnded Legislatures of the six
..ton. fHevvo oio talltl, me amcnu
mcnt has been adopted ; otherwise it
has not been adopted. In this aspect
of the official announcement, any cili
aon may be at liberty to examine the
subjret for himself or others ; and con
sidering tho very peculiar character
of tho official announcement, the qnes
lion is open netoro any puMio body,
tribunal, or official, that inny have to
act onnn it, and before tbo public
intelligence.
WUAT TUB FHAMKRS 01 TIT R CONSTlTtJ.
TIO! msItlKED.
When tho framcrs of the Constitu
tion provided for its amendment by
the Legislatures of three-fourths of
tbe States, they cnreftillv avoided ev
ery species of coercion ir. tho procctts
ol reaching the requieito threo loiirths.
1 li ey thoui'tit it enough to make a
proposed amendment binding on all
the States after it bad been adopted
by Ihroe-foiirtbs of tho States. In
the process pf securing its adoption,
they left every Slate perfectly lroo to
ratify or to reject. 1 hey provided no
mode ry which a J,rgtlnturo oould le
pncKrd, under tho direction, or by the
influence or llio Congress thnt had
proposed an amendment; and they
added to this power of proposing
amendments no power of dictating
that a Stale should rain or lose any
thing in the way of its Fedoral privi
leges by acceding to the wishes ol the
Conirress in respect to the amendment.
It wonld seem, therefore, to bea sound
genera proposition that when the rat -
ffication of a Stato has been procured
nyLtngrossional croction ol a lcgis-
laitiro specially constructed to until
about the adotition of an aninndinnn
of the Fedoral Constitution, tind when
the Ktnto has boon told that until it
ratifies that amendment it shall not

NIOBO SUFFRAGE THE OBJECT OF EEC0N
BTnUCTION.
Tho process by which thoso"nowly
constituted bodies," as Mr. Seward
calls them, have become Legislatures
or 'the eoverul bouthorn Slates, has
bee through a forcible interference
ty Ixmgress, lor tho purpose of rtack
ing ft Legislature that would ratify a
curtain proposed amendment to the
COnsli tu ti on ol the U n itcd States. I u
support of tins assertion let it be re
moinberod that tbo fourteenth amend
nwnt was proposed by Congress in
J use, 180i, nine months bolbre the
passage of tbo first "reconstruction
act. Itoforo the end of February,
1867, it was rejected by tho LcL'isla-
luros of all tho Southern States whose
ratifications are now claimed for it;
and as only twonty of tho remaining
SUtos had ratified it, and public opin
ion respecting it had begun to change.
m prospect oi its establishment, wi tu
out coomvo measures, was very bu'ia
Hereupon, .tiarcb Z6, 1S07, Congress
poised me nm 'reconstruction act.
Wlat wag the object of this act 7
i'laimy and on its lace, its great lead
inir object was tocomnel thoadonLion
of an Amendment of ttie Federal Con
stitution, whereby universal ucirro suf
frage should be brought about, or tboso
of tho Southern States that refused to
establish it should be kept out of Con
gross. Accordingly, the act proceed
ed to declaro that thero then was no
legal State governments in ihoso
StaUs ; thoreby in effect declaring
mat ineir rejection oi ino proposed
amendments was a nullity. Tho act
thondenommatcd them "rebel" Stat'
although the rebellion had been ended
lor noro than a year, and tho States
and nooplo were doing all they could
do to resume their normal Federal
relations. The act further deelitrod
thufo States "subject to the military
authority of the United States," and
nor ttiam Hbsotntely nnder military
control. It then required as condi
tions procodent to the enjoyment of
Btijr i ejirvrciiuuion in congress Hint
a Stato constitution should be framed
by a Convention elected by tho adult
males of "whutevorraco, color, or pro
vious condition ;" that this Constitu
tion should provide, for universal suf
frage; that it should bo submitted for
ratification to tho same body of voters
of "a, hatcver race, color, or previous
condition ;" that the Legislature estab
lished under it should ratify tho nro.
posed fourteenth amendment of the
Constitution of tho United States
and that when, and not boforo, that
amendment had become adopted by a
suflicient number of States to make it
a part of the Constitution, tbo partio
nlar "robel" State which had duly
complied with the abovo conditions
might be declared cntitlod to repre
sentation in Congress. In order to
prostrato any civil power that might
bo supposed to stand in tho way of the
execution of this schemo, tho civil
governments then existing in those
Mates were declared !y the act to be
"provisional" onlj-, and were subjected
to "the paramount authority of the
United States at any time to abolish,
modify, control, or eupcisedo tho
samo !"
THE ISIQIITT OF IT.
Tho stupendous assumption of pow
er, and tho several features of tho
schemo, disclose a manifest purposo to
forco an alteration of tho Conslitntion
of tho United States which it had be
come plain could not be brought about
if the Stalos wero loft lo their consti
tutional freedom of will. On tho one
hand, tho Iladical loaders In Congress
saw that negro suffrage, even if by
any contrivanco it couid bo got into
the Constitution ofany Southern Stato,
would have a precarious existence ;
that the Constitution of the United
States must bo brought to bear upon
the subject; that this could be done
only by such a plan as that erabodiod
io the fourteenth amondment name
ly, io put, tho Ltt.tca under tho con
straint of reduction of their repre
sentative basis, in easo they should
withhold suffrage from tho blacks.
An amendment of the Federal Consti
tution directly prescribing universal
suffrago could not bo ventured upon j
for it was plain that it could not be
carried. JJut an indirect modo of for
cing the same result had some chance
of sucress; for tho States accounted
"rebel" could be put under (.lie restraint
of the "military authority ol tho L'ni
ted States." and the remaining States
which bad not yet rntilied tho amend
ment could be oj.eruted npon through
their earnest desiro lo see the Union
fully restored and to havo tho South
cm Slates again present iu Congress.
Hence wo can account for tho other
wise unaccountable part of this extra
ordinary acheme. which absolutely
suspended thn full restoration of tho
Union upon tho final adoption of the
amendment by ft sufficient number ol
Spites to mako it a part of the Consti
tution. HOW IT WOKKKD.
These purposes, manifest on the
laoo of tho first "reconstruction" act
and the public, history of tho times,
wero followed up In tho supplemental
acts of March 23 and July 19, 1M57,
which provided the military mm bin.

backed by suflicient troops, wero en
trusted with tho duty of bringing
about the adoption of an ameniln.en
of tho CoiiHttliition of tho United
States, in ten States made subject un
til Its adoption to the absolute will of
military commanders and kept exclu
ded from Congress and from tho right
of self govern mcnt, uml tho enjoyment
oi civil government, unlit lout amend
mcnt hud become a part of tbo funda
mental law of tho Unoin. Liuld and
apparently well contrived as tho
scheme was, it was a dangorous one
in respect to its possiblo issues; for
when its execution began, tho four
teenth amendment had boon ratified
by only twenty Stntes, nnd public
opinion respecting it was liablo to
change. Jt did cliuni'e so rapidly in
kwuuil' Ui. Suao..Uhio ad .Nuw Juiv
scy, Unit ijCgiHlittures wero chosuu
under implicit instructions lo with
draw the ratifications previously giv
en, and tins was done, and done in
season. Moreover, of tho States not
accounted "robol," only ono moro bus
ratified the ameiidmout, making twen-ty-throo
in all, if Ohio mid New Jer
sey are to bo counted as having rnti-
n eu ti. ceiling asitio me question,
therefore, in relat onto Ohio and Now
Jorsey, tbo validity of tho supposed
adoption oi mis amenumont as part
of tho Constitution turns upon the
manner in which it has been forced
through tho States culled "robel,1
while subject to tho military power of
tho UmUid States, and to the para
mount authority of Cougroas" and
undor the coercion of conditions at
tending the actions of those Stales
upon it.
18 THE CONSTITUTION TO BE THUS TINK-
IlltU AT ?
Will the people of the United States
admit that their National Constitution
is subject to alteration by such a pro
cess as tliis f Wili tbo jurists of this
country bold that coercion applied
Dy military power, exercised undor
an asserted "paramount authority of
Congress, lor luo purpose of compet
ing a boeming ratification of an
amendment which Congress desires
to have adopted, does not affect the
validity of the proceeding? Will any
publicibt of reputation assert that the
Constitution is liablo to bo changed
by tho action of Slates which aro not
represented in Congress, which are
denied the privilege of civil govern
ment, and which at tho very moment
of acting on ft proposed amendment
aro held as conquered provinces un
der tho will of military commanders,
and their standing as members of tho
Luion suspended upon the Dual adop
tion of the amendment by a sufliciont
number of all tho States to reach the
requisite three-fourths? Will
any
such porson say that when the Con
stitution speaks of tho "Legislature"
of ft Stato oa tho body to ratify an
amendment it means a Legislature
pickod by Congress in order to secure
the adoption of tho amendment ? Will
ho snv thnt tbe Constitution has con
ferred on Congress any function but
to "proposo amendments, or that it
has empowered Congress to use any
influence whatever iu regard to their
adoption r
COMrCUION IS FRAUD.
Walking by such lights as a faithful
study of jurisprudence basenablod me
to havo 1 profess no other cuido,
and follow this in humble deference to
tho "paramount authority" I had
supposed that when an act is to be
done, Dy a body politic or a private
person, which It to bo done by the ex
ercise of a froo will, the mere presence
ot constraint or menace of any kind
to affect that will, renders the act in
valid. I hnd supposed that force or
compulsion, in any form, is it fraud,
and that no advantago can bo taken
of a consent which has been obtained
y fraud. I bad been taiiirbt by tho
masters of the law of all ages that
consent without freedom of tho will is
no consent ; and from tho great men
who established onr institutions who
digged for us tho porrennial well of
our liberties, and bado ns drink of it
for all generations I bad loarned, or
believed 1 bad learned, that perfect
freedom from all restraint, compulsion
or undue influence, Is the very essence
of all lawful changes in our constitu
tional system. So, 1 am sure, they
meant their system to bo understood
and acted npon ; and so, I am eqnally
eontident, their descendant must re
gard it, if they moan to preserve, their
liberties.
A FEARFUL rRKCKDKXT.
This precedent is of fearful import.
We aro told that the Constitution of
the United States has been changed,
in respect to the representative basis
of the Stales; that the rule which we
received from its framors, allowing
the States to bo represented in pro
portion tothorelnttvonumnernt ihntr
tihabitanta, has been modified by the
nlroduetion of now principlo, which
rodtioos tho representative basis of
any Stato that will not allow the right
of suffrago to cvory adult malo, ofany
race, color or previous condition.
We know that some Statos can limit
nd regulato suffrage and not lose any
part of their Congressional represen
tation, and that others cannot do so.
When wo come to inquire how this
change in a nniform nnd equitable
rulo of tho Constitution has been
rouaht about-, wa find that it has
oen effected by Legislatures erected
y direct Congressional intcrtoronco
and the exereiso of military power,
and that tho primary object of thai
interference wits to compel tbo adop
tion of this amendment, iu order to
mako tho unrestrained suffrago of no
groes as perpetual as Federal power
can mako it.
