The Negro-Sufirage Amendment.
KPI.IXII OP
HON. WM. A. WALLACE,
OF CLEAHFIKLD,
In the State Senate, March 11, 18G9.
Mr. Speaker, I fcul, sir, tlmt I do
not Jionaer-a tlio power t'liut I nhoukl
hitve to do jutiee to no pravc a sub.
ject. I feel, tir, my inubility to por
iruy BR I alioulj tlio rosulu ol' a policy
ao momentous in its lieiirinjrs, so ini
porlunt in its results, and so destruct
ive to tlio very csnciico of our institu
tions. I Approach it with no partisan
(ecliiig, in no demagogical spirit, but
with tlio fcclinga of one w bo, layinir
hia hand upon his heart, would do his
utmost to serve his constituents, to aid
in the elevation of his f ellow man and
to preserve and perpctuato the Com
monwealth he loves, in which lie was
horn and on whose loved soil bo hopes
to die. The consequences of this
amendment aro far reacliinj'. It con
cerns the liny infant, the t'luy-headid
father, the w ife and mother, tbo young
and tlio old. Vnborn petit-rations are
to feel its effects, and the destinies of
the State are in its keeping: in its
adoption the w ell known and recog
nized landmarks of our system und
tho established policy of the fathers of
the government are to be reversed.
We should approach its consideration,
sir, with the consciousness that this is
the furum of tho people; that nronnd
us now and within the sound of our
voice! are gathered the living millions
of the Commonwealth, and that from
tins elevation the echo of our voices,
the solemn record of our votes are to
penetrate the unknown years of futu
rity. Feelings of awe st the magni
tude of the iwue nhould prompt us to
announce here the grave reasons that
impel us to adopt or reject it, and I
can tut express mv regret that the
Republican party upon this flour, gen
tlemen ot education, ol talet.t and of
eloquence, representing a majority of
the people ol tbe Slate, have id olx di
anoe to a prearranged orJcr, been fit
in silence to register the will of csu-
cub. 1 regret, and I believe that I
represent rive-sixths of the people of
the Mate when
I say it. that they have
ler here tho reasons that
ri.fnfc.pH tnri.ni1f
imnel tlieminilimtl,.rar. .h....
to cive. In a back room of tbe Mini-1
tol, during the past night, the Senators
representing olO.OOU of tho electors
and two millions of tho people of
Pennsylvania, have choked the argu
ments that should find utterance here,
and in grim und moody silence, before
the assembled majesty of the people,
and in tbe presence of their constitu
ents, await tho hour for casting the
votes that are to adopt a policy that

of the people.
Sic", the party to which yon belong
is an aggressive one ; inexorable party

the legislature of this Stato to ratify
of its own motion an anieiidiiieiit to
tho Federal Cunsliluliun is to be re
strained and confined to iImiso mutters
over which control has been vested by
the. people in tho Federal and State

Oqr power cannot go beyond this,
for the Btreaiu cannot rise highor than

Without the consent of the people
Ot tl)isSlat9,a right that Is not grant
ed by them to cilhor the Federal or
the Stale government, can not be taken
from them, nor can tho rights of a
minority of the Statei bo taken awny
by the majority, when tho right inva
ded has never lieen within tho control
of the Federal Government. If this
attribute of sovereignty can bo taken
from us by Congress and the Legisla
ture then liberty of tho press and trial
by jury can in like manner be swept
away, and it is within tho power of
amendment to creato an established
church and connect Church and .Stale.
The exercise ol thU power by the
Legislature, without thr lunnrnt nf the
peojdf. is not amtmlment, it it rtrrtutinn.
A further consideration of the struc
ture of our government ard of tho
powers granted by the iwople lead us
to the bitine conclusion.
Tho legislature of the Stato is lim
ited and controlled by the provisions
of tho Stato constitution. Its acts in
violution thereof are void As nn
independent body, every attempt on
its par t to interfere with the right of
suffrage, or to change tho rule thereof,
is of no effect. It may register the
public w ill, but it can never act w ith
power upon a subject beyond its eon.
trol. Tho Constitution of tho United
States is a part of the constitution of
Pennsylvania, and tho constitution of
Pennsylvania is a part of the Consti
tution of the I'nited Slates. Each is
j supreme within its sphere. The gov.
ernmcnt or ( lie l nilc-d Mates is one ol
enumerated powers; all powers not
granted to it "are reserved to the
States and the people " Wo may, for
the purposes of this report, consider it
to be supreme in its control of doubt- j
ful and concurrent powers, yet beyond
these wide fields and outsido of the
range of its authority, is found the
control of this important subject. It
is reserved to tho Slates, or the peo
ple. It is a part of the State constitu
tion, anl in fnif rfjnct the provisions
thereof are tho supreme law. Being
neither an enumerated, a concurrent.
nor a tloubllul power under the I ed-
j f ai .onsiiiution.its control niaii.r. st-
i iy is in me .-siato or me people, i Ins
amendment would be futile if the sub-

turo- if 1,.,e provision of the Federal
Constitution on the bulje t of ahiend
ment are not to be considered, but we
have already seen that it is in no man
ner controlled by Federal authority.
If it is, then the Slate constitution,
the supreme law upon this subject, is
made inferior to the power of the State noro their existence, especially in the
legislature, and they may by amend- largo cities and more populous locali
ment overrido it No but U violation j lio. There, too, often are found lines

The political power of the
Slate has alwas rested in tho while
race, and it should remain there.
Tho ('renter hits distinctly marked
tho lino of difference between the two
races. The elevation of tho one to
the privileges und socict3- of tho clhcr
is the degradation of the superior.
Tho attempt to alter the order of na
ture will bring upon the negro the
resentment of tho white. Prejudices
founded on nature are ineradicable in
their character. 'Tho atiernpt of tho
negro to go to the polls with tho w bite
man will produce dilliculties between
them, and the law w ill be invoked to
enable tho negro to exercise the right
you give him. This will but serve to
increase the prejudice and arouse still
more keenly the feelings of passion.
Tho interest and well being of the
while man in this Commonwealth arc
more important than aro those of tho
negro, for if suffrage be the great test
of happiness and of progress, how
much more important that four mill
ions of whites skull be protected
thereby than seventy-five thousand
negroes !
In what respect do wo benefit the
white rave by this amendment, and
in what i the negro so largely bene
fitted f Will the votes of tho negroes
add to our prosperity, our happiness,
or our national progress f Cun the
adrnixturs of tho inferior add to the
value of tho superior, or w i l it dete
riorate and reduce its quality ? Ihe
benefit to be attained is purely parti
san. The proposition is born of the j
necessities of the Uepubliean party, i
Nine thousand major. ty at the polls j
in October last, with all the prestige
and popularity of a military chieftain I
lo aid you, demonstrated the nccessi
ty for more votes, and in this you hope
to obtain them. Tho right of voting
an J of being voted for have always
gone togellirr in 1 ennsy Ivania, but
this proposition is a negation of that
principle. Il bays to the negro, "help
ut to power and place, but you shall
have none of it."
The practical woi kingof thisamend
ment will be prejudicial to tbo best
interests of the Stale, ilany of the
best class of white citizens now refrain
from voting lietauso of the difficulty
of access to the polls and the waste of
tiuie consequent thereon, and if the
secret workings of tho minds of many
of these were discoverable, it would
be found that contempt for ihc system
and the character ot the means used
in political struggle largely inter into
the motives of these citizens. Will
this be improved or rendered worse

i Iv interested in tho success of our im
stilutions as yon or I, vested by na
ture with all those qualities which
would make them fitted lor nil the
duties ol the State, and infinitely su
perior to the negro. Yet they are
excluded. There aro more citizens
tinder the ago of twenty-one years
than there aio over that age. They
have more interest in this govern
ment, Senators, than wo have, -for
they are to survive us and those who
elected us; they aro to defend the
Commonwealth in the near future;
they aro to pay its taxes and udtnin
ister its government. Vet all these
are excluded and deprived of the
right. Uut joti aflirin that the negro
defended the Republic in war, and
therefore he should be given the right
of suffrage. If this be sound, why
wiil you not give it to the half niillicn
ol white men between the ages of
lilU-en and twenty-ono, from whose
ranks you filled the gaps in your regi
ments during all of tho war? Were
they not as gallant, are thoy not us
intelligent, have they not as much in
terest in your institutions as the ne
gro ? Yet dejrifingall of these classes
of this right, you ure about to throw
open tho polls to the negro. It is a
privilege, na)', a duty, and all cannot
be vested with it. Why shall we ad
mit the inferior and exclude the supe
rior ? Why include the few and ex
clude tho many? Why enfranchise
the less deserving and exclude the
more meritorious ?
"Suffrage is a political power vested
by tho sovereignty of the community
in a chosen body of electors." It in
volves duties and responsibilities, and
it is our dulics as members of the
Slato to place those responsibilities
and devolve those duties upon those
best fitted to perform them. It is the
right of the mass of the people to be
properly represented at the polls, and
it is the right of the Commonwealth
to be well served by her electors. Can
these duties and responsibilities be
best fitted by every member of the
community, or shall it bo by a select
ed few ? Experience in every age has
determined the latter. Whilst recog
nizing the beauty of the ideal right
we must not fail to remember the
practical. The right, as it can be ob-
l tained by human agencies, is only
that which is practically w ithin the
reach cf man, having regard to his
surroundings and the circumstances
under w bich he exists, and no states
can can surrender f.'ie attainable qooi
of the greatest number lor tho vision
ary and unnt'ninalle slzndiirj of per-
j feet right. Honce, those who framed
our government wisely excluded the
ideaof unlimited sutfiageand confined
i 't to choson body of while people
In this we see and recognize their
wisdom and forethought, and from it
we may fitly conclude that in tbe ex
clusion of five sixths of their own race
they did not dream that these should
bo made subordinate to the control of
an inferior race, then and for years
previous a servile people.
Tho whole quesiiuu for considera
tion is, who ran best perform the du
ties required by the Commonwealth
at the bands of her electors, and there
are no interests of morality, no inter
ests of religion, no interests ol society
that demand that we should mould
the inferior w ith the mass of the su-
perior, and thus debase the wholo.
The interest ot a vast political
community are at stake, aud it is
wrong to incur any risk, remote
though it may be, in giving them the
controlling power of the pivernmeut.
The influence of race npon National
destiny can scarcely be doubted. The
inherent nature, the intellectual, moral
and animal qnalitiesof families of men,
largely aid in shaping the course and
position of the nation they control, or
of which they form a part, and "all
history in Us ultimate analysis is a
history not of kings and laws, but of
races. 1 1ns is one ol nature s hidden
forces, silently working out its own
great problem. It is as true that man
makes the institutions of which he
forms a part, and impresses wilh all
of his mental and animal propensities,
as it is that governments are made for
men, not men for governments. Our
progress is one of ihe best evidences
of the truth of this proposition. Con-

A Strange Story.
Oor readers may remember the
singular diss ppcarancecf Capt. Kehw
Inst summer, and tbo limiting ciforts
of bis friends, and tho lieading
Masonic Lodge, of which he wa a
member, to solve the mystery. His
ordinary mining clothes were fonnd
near a mine, and it wn pumped cut
at an expense of several thousand dol
lars in expocialion ol hiding Lis
body. His busiuess partners weie ar
rested on tho chargo of hi murder,
and together wilh ether suspected
persons were placed in prison. One
man, owing to ihe suspisions attached
to him, has become ruined in business,
and is now a drunken, worthless
creature. v
Tbe mystery of bis disappeirance
is at last solved. I'uring the inauga
ration a little girl was in danger of
being run over, and was rescued by a
man in a marine's uniform. Mr. Cole,
the partner of Capt. Eehrer's father-in-law,,
recognized in the man the
missing 0'fiii R hrer! lie tapped
him on tbe shoulder and railing l.iiu

Kehrer denied his identity, but finally,
on being informed that Colo did not
wish to arrest j.iiii, wcnltothe latter'
room and thero confessed that he was
Eehrcr. lie gave as bis motive that
he was in debt, owing about 13,000,
and be had only iX Hi to pity it, and
was afraid to face his creditors. All
his arrangements were made to induce
his friends to lelicve that ho had corn
milled suicide, or been rmirJe.id;
and with twenty-five cents iu I.ls pock
