HYDROPHOBIA.
[From Hall's Journal of Health for
April]
lowed by what ie ealled “hydrophobia”
| ner,
| The bite of a dog, while being bea-
en or misused, inducing in him a feel
ing of irritation, anger, or excessive al
arm, may give rise to hyvdrophobin in
man, if the man is himself in a state of
anger.
A few months ago a man commenced
whipping a dog, and was bitten ; his
wife was litten at the same time, but
was a mere spectator, In a short
time the man died, with the ordinary
symptoms of hydrophobin, while his
wife suffered on ill effect.” An accour®
of this was given in the June number
of last year.
Within a week of this writing, Mr.
Ludlam, a respectable and worthy
citizen of Brooklyn, died of hydropho-
bia, who had been bitten four weeks
before by a dog while he was whipping
it : the wound healed rapidly. The
dog had given no indications of mad-
ness before the whipping, nor after
wards,
PHRENSY.
After the first few seconds have
possad in battle, a kind of phrensy
takes prassession of the soldier and he
fears nothing.
Cases are given where a man has
killed another, and yet, after knowing
that the vietim was dead, continued
hacking the unresting body to pieces,
or beating out the brains without be-
ing able to give any other reason for it
than he seemed “possessed.” Some
parents may remember a feeling of in-
creasing anger, of rising wrath, while
chastising a child and sometimes have
so lost all sense [of reason and judg-
ment, as to continue the beating until
the child was dead. A case of this kind
occurred in this State not a great while
ago, remembered by many who read

certain, and every reader is interested
i knowing the terrible fact that there
is such a thing as
IMAGINARY HYDROPHOBIA,

child, when the animal bit him, and
the bite resulted in his death as stated.
Here a cat, under the irritation, of a
whipping, gives a fatal bite.

After Mr. L. had whipped his dog,
and had been bitten, he sat down on
the sofa, and the animal as if to meke
friends, came up to Mr. L. and crouch-
ed under the sofa behind his feet; a
little child attempted to pull the dog
out, and was bitten, but no ill result
followed the bite.
Y'hese narrations seem to show that
“hydrophobia,”” or rather death by
convulsions, occurs in winter as well as
in summer. That it follows the bites
from convulsions. That animals not
mad, may inflict wounds while in fear
or anger, which will cause death by
the, same convulsions which end real
hydrophobia. That dogs and cats are
a nuisance anyhow. That there ought
to be no dogs and cats. That if you
want to wallop dogs and cats, it is bet-
ter to do it at a distance witha long
pole, and not be holding them’ up by

abridged, aye, sir, her very existence
as wrong as it is debasing, as outrage-
t is trae, as has been asserted here
that article five of the Federal Consti-
tution provides for the amendment of
that instrument, in precisely the man-
ner that this so called amendment is
proposed to be made; but it is equally
true that that same constitution limits
ters only as come within the jurisdie-
tion of ths General Government. Two
of
made in the same article which provi-
these limitations were expressly
ded a mode of amendment, and others
result from the general character of the
within it.
Among the general principles under-
lying our Federal Constitution, which
operates as a limitation upon the right
of amendment, is the fact that ours is
change in the Constitution, or any ad-
dition to it, which would transform our
(rovernment into amonarchy would be
a legitimate amendment. Such a
change, instead of being an amendment
would be rank revolution ; and even if
the revolutionists were able to pass it
through the prescribed forms and put
it into practical effect, its validity, if
it had any, would not result from the
legitimate right of amending the Con:
stitution, but upon the despotic prin-
ciple that might makes right.
Another general principle which
operates as a restraint upon the right
of amendment is explicit]y expressed
in article ten of the amendments, which
declares; “The powers not delegated
to the United States by the Constitu-
tion nor prohibited by it to the States
are reserved to the States respectively
or to the people,” And section eight
of that instrument sets forth plainly
what powers were delegated to the law
making power of the United States, as
well as those prohibited by the States,
and nowhere, at no place, or under no
construction, can there be found au-
thority for this attempted usurpation
of the reserved rights of the States.
The question of suffrage—the elective
franchise—to which this proposed
amendment relates, is precisely one of
those questions which have been “re-
served to the States respectively or to
the people.” By no word or syllable
of the Constitution has the Federal
Vol. 2.—No. 1.
| Gevernment heen invested with any
power or authority in regard to this
| subject. The two Houses of Congress,
| even by a unanimous vote, have no
more constitutional right or power to
propose such an amendment—no, not
amendment, but revolution—as that
which we have under consideration,
then the Parliment of Great Britain,
the Corps Legislatiff’ of France or the
Cortes of Spain. It is a subject not
within its jurisdiction, and the people
of the States, whose rights are to be
trample] upon and crushed out by this
infamous surpatioun, would be justifia-
ble in revolt—will be cowards if they
do not resist.
Why, sir, if three-fourths of the Sta-
| tes, through the General Government,
| have the power to strike the word
| “white” from the Constitution of Penn-
sylvania, as this pretended amendment
proposes, has it not the right to strike
out any worl, sentence or section with-
| in it? Ifit can strike out the word
| ewhite,” can it not strike out the very
first section of the first article, which
creates this body, now ready to admit
by its votes that thes powers belong to
the General Governmant? 1 ask you,
in all eandor, where is the assurance
that the same power that now seeks to
annul one of the provisions of our
| State Constitution, will not, before an-
other year, attempt to annull all ? If
Congress, endorsed by the Legislatures
of three fourths of the States, can say
who shall vote within our Common-
wealth, eanit not also say who shall
be our judges and our jurymen, our
v
i office-holders aud our law makers, as
| well as what rights we shall enjoy an |
what religious fuith we shall profess ?
If Pennsylvania, ounce proud, peerless
Pennsylvania, has not the power to fix
the qualifications of electors within her
own bread borders, pray tell me what
power she does possess ?
The fundamental prineiple of our
Government is, that governments “de-
rive their just powers from the consent
of governed,” or in other words, that
governmental authority is inherent
originally in the people themselves.
In forming their governments they
delegate certain powers to those gov-
ernments and give them a certain gen-
eral or limited jurisdiction over certain
governmental questions. The powors
of the government are limited by the
instrament by which those powers
have been delegatad. Hence neither
the State or Federal Government are
absolute over all questions. The pow-
ers of each have been delegated by the
people—the sovereign source of a 1 po-
litical power; and in the written
Constitutions is expressly = declared
what powers are delegated, while ths
omnipotent voice of the people, like
the voiee of the Almighty addressed
to the sea, has said, “Thus far mayest
thou go and no farther; and here shall
they proud waves be staid.”
We, Mr. Speaker, the immediate
representatives of the_people of Penn-
sylvania, have no power over this sub-
ject. Our own State constitution de-
fines the qualifications of voters in thie
Commonwealth, and this Legislature
has no power, cither directly or indi-
rectly, to change its provisions on the
subject 30 as to be binding upon our
own people, much less have we the
power to bind the people of other
States by any authorized action of
ours. To amend our State Constitu-
tion requires that two successive Legis-
latures propose the amendment, and
then that a majority of the qualificd
voters of the State ratify the amend-
ment at the next general election.
We have taken an oath to support that
Constitution, and yet a majority of
this House, with that oath still fresh
upon their lips, are ready to violate if,
by voting to allow an unauthorized
power to strika from it the most im-
portant provision it contains. This
question of suffrage isa question whic!
even tha States as States in thoic gov.
ermental capacity have no jurislic
tion over. It is fixed and regulated
by the Constitutions of the several
States, and no power save the power
that made them—the people—— an al-
ter, change or ame:d. Why,
Speaker, this act of usurpation
part of the Goneral Government awe
the State Logislatur.s, to fix the quali-
fications of voters in the several States,
is assuming authority over sunjects
that even the crowned beads of Europe
fear to exercise. It is but ashort ti
since the questson of ext

exercising it in England was agi
