OP REPRESENTATION AMENDMENT.
Tile failure of the Constitutional
amendment regulating the principle of
representation to secure a two-thirds
vote in the Senate yesterday, is a source
of profound regret. The debate upon
this question has been long and un
usually able, but it has been conducted
principally by the Union side of the
Senate, some of whose members have
permitted a theoretic difference of opin
ion to stand in the way of the attain
ment of a great and immediate good.
Of all the amendments to the Constitu
tion which have been proposed during the
session, not one would have gone to the
country with•such universal approba
tion as this. The public mind is very
clearly made up upon the issue of allow
ing the Southern States a representation
based upon a disfranchised class of their
'citizens. The North will never, and
should never agree to allow South Caro
' lina to vote her 300,000 freedmen in Con
gress, while she withholds from them
"the common rights of citizenship. And
Yet . , , when the occasion offers to prevent
forever this manifest injustice, we find
thomost out-spoken friends of human
liberty and e . quality defeating the pro
position, because of an objection which
is'purely a theoretic abstraction.
The amendment has been defeated by
tbe votes of Republican Senators, but
upon two distinct lines of action. Dix
on, Doolittle, Norton and Stewart seem
to have surrendered themselves to the
policy of opposing everything that isnot
in exact accordance with the President's
policy of immediate re-admission of the
rebel States. Their vote upon the
amendment therefore is not entitled to
that respect whichan adherence to long
held principles always must command.
13ut, with Brown, Henderson, Pomeroy,
llaner, - Willey and Yates, the case is
Ter7.diffetent. These Senators, so far
Iss , we'can judge from the line of the de
bates have deliberately thrown away a
- mitten opportunity because they de-:
tested, or fancied that they detected, a
trace of alloy in it. Mr. Sumner's
igpp e e cb. was a most able, and exhaustive
.o.sirgument for the principles of human
liberty, and did credit alike to hi s
scholarship and his broad humanity.
But the inuCtical hard sense of M.r.
and Fessepden, will appeal t o
the minds of the people with a thousand
- fold more convincingloyce. Mr. Sum
`ner was right to make his point and his
protest, but there his duty cle,arly ceased.
His refusal to take a step, -because that,
one stepwould , not;bring him to his
.
journey's - end was not sensible and may
**Atilt in doing'a, great and permanent
w;o3g.tc. his r ighteous . „Mr. Wil
ton faiylyteireredttletrciand Yesterday s
by lath*l,4*--.3jlloAWar. authority,
Eadiiii. against hini. Gerrit
that the ConStitution
dnot XeCimiize slavery oilimsed the
amembnent which abolished slavery,
because the amendment was, as he held,
=admission that slavery had formerly
existed by law.' The case is a precise
parallel. Mr. Sumner opposes the
amendment which would be the most
direct pioneer of universal suffrage,; be
cause he sees in it a recognition of the
right of a State not to be represented.
Mr. Henderson has obtained 'a, recon
sideration of , the amendment, and we
sincerely trust that our Republican Sena
tom will split no more hairs over so im
portant a measure. If the principle of
representation is ever to be re-adjusted, it
must be done now. Mr. Suraner's own
illustration of the double shield Is a
sword that cuts two ways. It admits
that there is another side of this ques
tion as good and honest and logical as
his own. The two knights of the old
legend fought, because they believed
there was but one side of the shield, and
that was their only excuse. Mr. Sum
ner admits that there are two, and he
should, tkerefore, be willing to accept
' the good, wholesome "half loaf" rather
than leave us with no biead at all. The
immediate danger to be averted is too
great, and the immediate advantage to
be gained too vital, for any practical
patriot to stand upon abstractions.
• We mike our appeal to Mr. Sumner
and his five 'colleagues. Their votes,
with Messrs. Howard and Foot,• will be
sufficient to give us this great step in the
direction of human liberty. We wish
we could feel that the other Republi ca n
Senators, whom we have named, were
open to the arguments and appeals of
the great loyal masses whom they have
formerly so nobly represented. In their
.present attitude of fraternization with
the consistent opponents of every mea
sure of Congress for the suppression of
the rebellion, they have nothing to gain
and everything to lose.
Acting on the admirable suggestion of
Governor Curtin, the Legislature has
appointed a committee to procure a large
painting of the battle of Gettysburg, to
be placed in the State Library in the
new capitol extension at Harrisburg.
It is to be executed by a Pennsylvania
artist. Nothing, we believe, has yet
been determined as to its dimensions or
cost. The members of the committee
are - now in Philadelphia and we believe
there is a general disposition to assign
the work to our distinguished townsman
P. F. Rothermel. But we have been
waited on by the friends of other artists,
who think that the work should be
open to competition and that designs,
on a certain scale, in proportion to the
space to be covered, be invited. The
proposition seems a fair and reasonable
one, and we make it public so that the
committee may consider it. We are
glad that the State is going to com
memorate the great battle that occurred
on her soil, and we trust that the picture
will have high artistic as well as histor
ical value.
