Fifteenth Constitutional Amendment,
IN THE SENATE,
Th - tirstday, 'March 11th. 1860.
Mr. Slauker, when the majority of this
body consulted together and resolved to
. pritthis re-olution through its third read
ing last night, and agreed, in order to at
tain Mgt end without fail, to refrain from
taking nor; in the discussion, it was not
because they were ashamed of their
cause ur afraid to discuss it, but because,
in order to secure its early passage, prn
• dence dictated that discussion, on their
part, should be postponed until the rest).
,lution was completely under their con
trol on its final passage.
•If any -justification had been needed
for their action it was found in the weak,
flimsy argumentation that characterized
all the speeches on the other side—the
utter absence, I. may say, of anything
rising to 'the dignity of an argument.
Certainly no answer was needed to any
• logic used last night, for none was used;
and the fact that when the majority cour-
Aeously yielded to the Senator from
Cleat fieth an extension of time beyond
his half hour, he repaid the courtesy - by
-an insulting fling at those who had just
shone their generosity toward
knowing we were cut off from reply by
the expiration of the time fixed for ter•
initiating thp debate, and the additional
fact that the Senator from Barks Imme
diately on the close of the speech . of the
Senator from Clearfield, broke out into
hoarse cries for Hthe orders cir the day,"
showed conclusively that the gentlemen
on'that side feared nothing so much, at
that time, as an answer from this side,
and that they knew full well we were
fully prepared with an answer that
would in a few minutes have riddled the
sephistries of the Senator from Clearfield.
' The gentlemen on that side were very
' bold, in the early part of the everting;
they dared ns to discussion; they taunted
us with our silence and challenged us to
the combat; yet, ;when' the time came
that the answer they had been' challeug
' • ing was apparently ready, they shrunk
• from the combat, and situllasd like cow
ards behind the "orders of the day."
We wed) silent in the early part of the
, evening, b,ecause it served our purpose
to be so, just then, and their courage was
of the most exalted kind, as lbng as they
thought we would not strike back; but
as soon as they thought they saw a band
' raised for a counter blow their courage
oozed oat artheir fingers' ends, and all
their affected horror of gag law could
not keep them from resorting to it to
save themselves from the answer they
had been challenging. Like a parcel of
boys they kept crying out all night
"dare ye! dare yel" yet turned tail and
run, on the first show.of resistance.
The whole exhibition of last night was
but a repetition of the stale and oft ex
ploded arguments that have been retailed
here. session after session, ever since
1860. It has hitherto been comprised in
tho cry of "nigger! nigger! nigger!" We
have all heard it so often ,that we can
always tell beforehand what the range of
such discussion is going to be. It is the
sole stock in trade of ,the Democratic
party. If it had no prejudices to appeal
to, it would lose the breath of its life.
••• Yet I could not help observing. last
rfight,,that there has been a mantfest im
provement in the tone of - our Democratic
friends. Our chloredcitizens were "ne
groes," last night, instead of "niggers,"
as heretofore; the party has at last learned
to spell that word with one "g" instead
of two; and the poor African who, only
last year or the year before, was in the
estimation of the Senator from Clear
field, a vile. degraded being, only one
step above a baboon, has since so risen
in the scale of human excellence as to
extort from that Senator the confession
' that he is willing to acknowledge and
recognize his natural rights as a man.
This is indeed progress—a progress as
great as that evinced by , the Senator
from Payette, who, last year, made the
mountains of his district echo with his
denunciations of the Chicago platform,
yet last night endorsed heartily the suf..
frage plank of that platform. -The Dem
ocratic party, I am sure, is welcome to
, our cast-off clothes; but it would be much
better if it would take a bold stride, at
once, to the front rank, and , stand up
manfully for human rights, as all trice
Democrats ought to , do.
This improved tone of our Democratic
friends to the African is certainly a hope
ful indication to the colored race. They
oppose this amendment now, bitterly;
yet, as soon as it is adopted, I have no
doubt we shall find them courting the
negro vote as assiduously as if they had
been Abolitionists from the year one,
and doing it with that utter abnegation
of the past which characterized their
Southern Democratic brethren last year,
who held colored Democratic mass meet
•ings, gave colored . Democratic barbe
cues, appealed to the negroes as political
brethren, and lavished upon them every
political art to obtain their votos. Down
in GeOrgia and Alabama a negro is as
good a white man, in Democratic eyes,
- It! he' votes the Democratic ticket, and
- why not in Pennsylvania? Down there
there they have got ever dread of negro
equality, and I have po doubt it will be
the same in this State when the fifteenth
amendment becomes a part of the su
preme law of the land. We shall have,
, in five years from now, to get up aflida-.
Tits to prove that Democrats voted
against giving them the right of• suf
Image, and prophesied untold horrors as
sure to follow their exercise of it.
The 'argument of the Senator. from
• Clearfield and his Democratic colleagues
againit this amendment may be brifly
• summed np thus :
1. It is unconatittitionil to amend t he
„ Constitution. •
2. The People ire' the 'Only ones who
can amend it.
•
. 8. The.right otimffiage is not a natup.
al but a political right, and therefore, thn
•
negro net,entitied to it. .
.
' *4. This ` State' - has always refused' to
• recognize the negro's rights and there.
• fore should continue to do so. .And

-• your - Constitution to the changing wants
• and circumstances •of the, nation; It
• must remain unaltered and unalterable,
'like the lawa of the 'Medea and Persians,
and the - United States of 1887 be no
' 'further advanced than the United States'
0f , 1787, whilst all the rest of the world
is in motion. If this had been the inter*
of its framers, the ten amendments pro..:
poadd by the Congress of 1789, only two
years after its formation, and incorpora-
181
,
-11nOnstiraticenomprintapertritVrtrald._
- never have been, proposed. The very
first Congress that astlembled under the
Constitution, found that instrument so
defective as to render necessary ten ,
amendments, all radical in their nature,.
and two others were.found essential, one
in 1791 and one in 1803, all within a short
time of i a original formation:
- 2. The plea that the people only, by a
-direct vote, can grant to the General Gov
ernment it ? is said, and sovereignty re
sides in the people, I -admit; but the
people act through their renresentatives.
The Constitution of the United States
begins with these Solemn words, "Ws
THE PEOPLE OF TILE UNITED STATES
* A ,* * do ordain and establish this Con
stitution." Yet it was not retitled by a
direct vote of the people, in any' of the
States, nor any of the numerous amend
ments to it, which are now a oart of it.
It was originally ratified by State Legis
latures and conventions, and the amend
ments to It, which form no inconsider
able part of it, by the Legislatures of the
several States. Yet it is none the less the
work of the people. When this - fifteenth
a endment is incorporated in it, the pre
a ble to the Constitution will apply io
I as to all the rest, and it will be true of
it as of all the rest "we, the people of the
United States, do ordain and establish it.
I have said there is no limitation as to
the character of the amendments that
may be proposed to it, and no constitu-
tional exception can therefore be taken
to the amendment before us. But there
is a limitation as to the method of its rat-
ification. „First, it must be proposed by
two-thirds of both houses of Congress,
which two-thirds vote this amendment
received. And second, it must be rati
fied by the Leghdatures of three-fourths
of the States, or by conventions in the
States, as the Congress may direct, and
Congress having directed this to be sub
mitted to the-Legislatures of the several
States, it has accordingly been submitted
to us, as one of the Legislattirs spoken
, of. It is, consequently, for us, and for
the Legislatures of the other States to
say whether it shall be ratified or not.
And this is the only way in which it
can be ratified. It is not in our power
to submit it to popular vote. It is sim
ply our duty to ratify or reject IL The
power of ratification, has been lodged by
the Constitution itself in us, and we can
not shirk our duty or shift it on to other
shoulders. To submit it to the popular
vote would be au unconstitutional way
of amending the Constitution, and I mar
vel at the men who make so much con
stitutional clamor proposing a plan at
war with the instrument they profess to
venerate so much.
As to all the talk of our not daring to
go to the people on this issue, it is mere
clap trap. I dare to do my duty, and to
take the consequence. I am not afraid
of the people, or doubtful of their ver
dict. The Constitution has imposed
upon me the task of passing upon, an
amendment proposed by two-thirds of
both Houses of Congress. I will dis
charge that task fearlessly, and as fear
lessly appeal to the people for their ap
proval.
It is their privilege to paste upon my
action after, not before it is done. And
lam satisfied they will endorse what I
propose to do, and my political friends
around me feel, I ant sure, the same con
fidence. We shall go to them upon our
record, in the fullest trust that they will
approve it. Already New Hampshire
has spoken, endorsing Grant's inaugural
on this point, and her people have just
chosen a Legislature that will ratify, this
amendment—elected, too, in full view of
this issue. ,lowa and Minnesota, after
once voting down negro suffrage, last
year adopted it by popular vote, and
even some of the Democrats of lowa
elected a negro Justice of the Peace.
The sober second thought comes out
right, if the first should happen to be
wrong; and I have no doubt the people
of Pennsylvania, believing in the in
alienability of human rights, and that
one man has just the same rights 5.1, and
no more than, another, will rejoice in the
incorporation of this clause in the Na
tional Constitution as a final settlement
of a long perplexing question.
a. But the Senator from Clearfield tells
us that the right of suffrage is not a
natural, but a political, right, and, there
fore,those who have it can give it or with
hold it as they please. If this right is a
mere political right, to be given or with
held at pleasure, where did those get it
who have it to give or withhold? Where
did the Senator from Clearfield get hie
right to vote? What right ha's he that
any other man has not? And if he has
any, from whom. did he get it? If he
tells me that he got it from the Constitu
tion of the State, I ask where did those
get it who framed the Constitution? lie
will say, "they were the people, and sov
ereignty resided in them." But what
rights had they which other men had not?
Who gave them the power to say who
should or should not vote? If you say
it, was inherent in them, it follows that it
was also as inherent hi the black men of
the land as in them; and if you say ft
was not inherent, I ask for the source
'from which they got it. And I will ask
in vain for a satisfactory answer. The
only answer that can be given is that the
right they exercised came from might.
It was simply the exercise of tyrannical
power. There is no escape from this
logic. It is the inexorable logic of hu
man rights. Hither every man has the
natural right to vote,
and all men have
the same rights, or those who claim' to
possess superior rights must show the
superior source from which they draw
them.
For myself, twenty-five years ago \I
I
learned the full import of that divine (hi-,
claration, "God hath made of one blood
all natioMs," and to look upon all men as
consequently my brethren and politic
ally my equals. Whatever rights I had,
they could trace to the same source. I
learned also that other almost divine de
claration, written by the father of the
old time, not the modern, Democracy,
"that all men are created equal," and
that their rights are inalienable. That is
the Democracy which I learned at the
outset of my political career,, and I re
main proud of it today. I am not asham
ed
to extend mfhand to the hitherto op
pressed and down trodden black wan,
and recognise in him a Man, created by
the same .Maker, of the same blood, and
with precisely the same rights. That is
the Democracy which the Bible teaches
and Which the Declaration of Indepen
dence teaches'. To that I adhere, and I'
scorn that bastard Democracy which
sneers at Human righrs as a myth and.
proclaims universal suffrage a humbug!
,",th. humbug!" "I thank thee Jew, for;
'teaching me that word." And ' has it
come to 674, that the leader of Demoo
,racy in Peonsylvanie deplores that equal-,
ity of human rights has no ekistonce—la
a myth; that - one marthai' Just those
rights and no other which other Men
choose to, give him; 'that might makes
right; thietho strong have,the right to
'
trample on the weak; tuidlhat -univer
sality of human 'rights is "humbug!"

and.. The claration or Independence, -
atidlefferson and the fathers; 'Were gll
'wrong in acknowledging the unity of all
races in blood and in rights.
4. As to the citations of the Senator
from Clearfield to show that Pennsylva
nia has, in times past, done injustice to
the negro, and therefore should do it
still, they carry their own refutation
with them. If, hith_erto ' wrong has been
done, it is high timelo abandon it. This
is our goldenopportunity to begin to do
right.
5. And this brings me toThe crowning
argument of last might, andthe one dwelt
upon with moat unction—that it degrades
one race to elevate another—that to ele
vate the negro will degrade the white
man. No philosophy could be falser
than this. It is a flat contradiction in the
teeth of human experience. If it were
true, it would be most humiliating to the
white race—that they, super-abundant in
numbers, rich in this world's goods, ed
ucated, refined, trained in religious
teaching, and endowed with the untram
meled 'fight to exercise all their own
rights, !should •be degraded by ex.'
tending! to a handful of colored,
men the same rights they enjoy them
selves! If it were true, it Is a race not
worth preserving. But it is not true.
No man ever did a good deed to another
that did not Thereby, do good to himself.
In elevating my neighbor, I elevate ,rny
self, and that because in doing so, It, am
calling into exercise: the better parts of
my nature. To gather up to_myself the
rights I have and deny them to others
is to foster selfishness and all its attend
ant
brood of degrading evils; butte help
in bringing up others to where I stand is
to develop the best energies of my ,na
ture. Human experience proves this.
The life of every good man proves it; the
history of every community illustrates
it. Hornet' somewhere says that the man
who puts a chain round another man's
heels to enslave him, puts the other end
around his own- neck and so enslaves
himself. In like manlier the man who
helps to free another frees himself. Like
begets like. To do good always pro
duces good results, and in elevating the
African we are elevating ourselves to
a point of exaltation never before reached
by any nation. The old proverb has it
that "Bight wrongs no man," and to do
right, to secure equal rights to all men
can work no wrong or degradation to
any.
I regard this amendment as the iuevi
table result of the decree of emancipa- -
tion. It IS its logical sequence, It flows
from it as naturally as effect from cause.
To free a race and then deny it political
rights would be monstrous. The ballot
is as necessary to,the black as to the .
white for his protction. He can have
no adequate protection without It. The
one great task of government is to secure
men in the enjoyment of their rights,
and the Heaven ordained instrument for
effecting this security is THE BALLOT.
Governments, according to the Declara
tion of Independence, owe all their just
powers to the consent of the governed.
This was the ground on which we justi
fied ourselves to the world for revolting
from Great Britain, and this is the ground
upon which we justify this amendment.
The men, who are to be governed, black
as well as white, must consent to the
powers exercised over them by the gov
ernment., and can consent only by hav
ing the ballot in their hands.
I go. for this amendment, therefore,
because it is right; because the riot of
suffrage belongs as naturally to the
black as to the white man: because our
safety as a nation consists in giving, in
stead of withholding, what is due; be
cause :having given the black man his
freedom, he must, to be secure in it,
have the means of protecting it; -and be
cause by its adoption, and by it only, can
we fulfill the true mission of the Ameri
can people, of assuring equal and exact
justice to all men.. '

THE
ECONOMY BUTTER CO.
ask the attention of all interested in the reduc
tion of the extravagant cost of Batter, to their
- practical•and economical system of making pure
prime Butter by the aid of the
EXTRACT OF BUTTER PLUCT.
Abrief allurion to the origin of this imrortant
dlscovei y may not prove uninteresting. Among
the authenticated-records of the renowned Cap
tain Cook's voyage around the world, is found
the statement, that while sojourning fora rhort
time on the-Brazilian Coast of South America. he
observed the natives using, in the preparationnf
their food, a peculiar oil, which, upon examina
tion, he found to possess the appearance, taste
and flavor of Butter; upon further inquiry, - how
ever, he a.scertainrd - that it was simply. a sub
stance that the natives distilled in a crude and
imperfect manner, front a rich and luxuriant
plant that grew spontaneously and abundantly In
that warm tropical country. A few 'ears ago,
an eminent French cheinist, while on a .profes-.
atonal visit to the tropics, made numerous exper
iments with this remarkable production of na
ture, and succeeded in extracting a concentrated
essence of the plant. The formula for its prep!, -
ration; and the Sole Right for its sale in this
country are the excl.:sive property of. thls Com
pany, by whom it was purchased from the origi
nal discoverer. We claim for this remarkable, _
yet simple and perfectlybannless preparation—
lts.—That,by its use a net gain of fromso to 2100
per cent. is made in the manufacture of Butter. .
Ad.—That Butter, which from age or whatever
cause, may be stroll, rancid, streaked or
coarse-grained, and comparatively useless - for
general use, by the aid of this Extract, is re
stored to its original freshness and sweetne;..s,
fine-grain, and even color.
3d.—By the use of this Extract., one pound of
delicious, fresh Butter is actually made from
one pint of milk. •
4th.—That a pure and excellent table Butter can'
be made, at a cost of from 15 to 20 c nts pee
pound. The chief expense wherein being But
ter, which is the essential base. •
st.h.—That Butter manufactured by the aid of
this Extract is equalltneVery respect to the best
Butter made by the ordinary method.
6th.— The Extract after thorough•analysts; by
able chemists, is pronounced perfectly tree from
any deleterious substance, the ingredients be
ing purely of a vegetable nature.
Sth.—ln proof of .he foregoing assertions, the
factory of this company is mating one ton of
Butter per day ) which meets with ready sale
in the New York Dirrket, and is consumed from
the tables of the first Hotels, Restaurants and .
Private families iu this city and elsewhere.
A sample package of the Extract (sufficient to
make 501bs. of Butter) with full directions for
use, will be sent to any address on receipt of $l.
CAUTION.—As articles of real merit are sub
ject to spurious imitations, we would snecially
caution the public against counterfeits and worth- .
less imitations, advertised ss powders. coin- -
