•
Out of the most potent; and at the same
time the Most false and fraudulent, of the
agencies: of the Black Repub..
Beaus, is that which goes under the head of:
slave representation.". The 'story ha. 4 been
industriously circulated Prow mouthieluouth
`that the - siaveholder has 'one, vote foi
hioasel.and three additional votes for every
five slares.he may possess. This falsehood it
was the design of the Republican leaders to
Lave used 'verbilly, but one editorrsot:a thous
and miles - off was stupid eUotfgh to believe it,
or sufficiently hardened in tidseholift to print
It without believing it. The statement that
the owner of slays Las any privileeges at the
baliot s bOx that the poorest northern %titer
does not have, Is utterly false. In. Rhode Is
land there haveal ways . uettri tnaintained, in
opposition to the DeracCratiy,property restric
tions upon the right to vote.- - -----butlu lie (Abel
State so far' as our knowledge extends, is the
law regulating the right of suffrage, based
upon property: - i It `y.7 Rhode Island over
which our l3htck Republican brethren so fns
Lily last zpriur w hen - that State went " for
fre . cdoid !"
• But we am not going upon any assertion
of our own, or any itignment of ours, W e
ynly propose t‘7l present froin : the Censtitntion
and its ahlest : ex:Pounders, the facts its they
are: - The oulyl clan,© .in the 6.mstittition
which mild even sti”erest tbiS falsehood, does
not at all relate to the manner of.xot•tir , or
the privileges of voters, (for each State ng
tilates the manner of votinr , and the rights of
flinge for itself,) but the Constitution fixes
a 'basis of reprentation in the: tNa . tional
!louse of Reprittative.s. And here- is the
clause : •

appottiolied mining the. separate States, Which
may ir.cludti:.l within OisUnionotceoit.lit ,

This is the :clause of the Constitution tip
on m Wel/ is bald the fah:el-iced that the own•
er of slaves has tr.ore lights of voting than
the - farmer of 'Nfairte. who play not !lse worth ,
a cent ; and this faltelyxxl has been reported
by. horse-Aed . politicians, until . an editor was
ignorant.enough to believe it, and that Con
gress has power to regulate the qualifications
of voters in South Carolina and 'Maitre, and
publish.the absardity - to the world, - •
The framers of the Constitution avoided
the use of the Word "slave,`" and it is not in
thatinstruni . ent; 'Hence fn the :paragraph
quoted the enumeration of; the classes . who
may constitUteapnouletion sufficient to have
one representative, it be seen that for
eig,ners, pe.rsOns in )ails, prisons hospitals, and .
paupers, ard not excluded from this ecient.—
If immediately before the taking of the next
censu.,.thirty thou - sand 'foreigner's settle. in
Maine althoUgh they cannot vote, they add
another to our delegation in the • House of
lieprsentatires' ,—and fifty thousand increase
of slaves in South Carolina, gives, that -State
another representative. If the Black Potpub
licans consider the slaves human, heings,. %V.
(It) aiot see Why•they should object to thei
being counted a part of the popnhition l int!
represented. It is only recently tint they
have become wiser than the framers of the
Constitution on this point:
Now. as . the•Lillek Republicans promise
to take - ut 'haek to the principles 'and
.•poliey
sf Madis(xi and Jefferson, fur their edification ,
we will see what Madison thought Of thi. ,
v e ry thing: lte says, (• 4 The Fe.deralist,'-'
LIN :). .
" The next view which I shalt take of the . .
Rouse of Itepreputatives, relates to the appof
tionment its members to the several States
which is to be determined by the.''' same sale
with that of direct taxes. •
"'lt not contended but that the number
of people iii each State.ought to .be the stand

who are tO i represent the people 4.4 eackState.
The cstablishMeitt of the seine rale for the
•
.apportioninent of taxes, , will'probably be- as
little cOutested ; though the rule, itself, iu this
.case, is by no means founded On the same
principle. . In the_forrner case the - rule is un
derstood to - refer to the personal, rights of the
people, with which it has a natural and WA.

Mr. Madisou eon tinies his examination of
the same stthject iu three successive chapters
of the Fedrali.tt," liut we have quoted suffi
ciently fur Chu. purposes. The question of
Admitting into the .cenltitution the claust;'we
have quoted, turned upon: the : very point,
that was at isuo inlhe Revolutionary strug

question was ‘ settled.by a compromise - that.
7 Allows the slAves to be count:ea. , as a part. of

slaves, as they are, less , two-fifths of the whole!
We agree with Madison, that the •frametsi of
the Conititution " with great propriety," pro
vided that tins slave to and representa

should be so adjusted.
Now we hope the whole matter-ii clear.
The southerti slaveholder has no preponder
