They are opposed to the tpst oath as

t he C Mti:u? io-ial amndme'it beciuse it
is u:ic :itif nt io'iul. t have learned from
our past natto al eSperienee, ihe hifhe-t
eourcf- ol knowledge, that tne first great.
principle of American in-tiiuti-ms, as it is
presented in Wa-hin ;'o.'s Farewell Ad-
dte-. is the ri zht td the jeoplo to chauvte
their Constitutions nf G ivprieiifiit when-
ver change, ln-comes neeessary for the
liber'ies ot the ne !e. This is a dit'V
.-eeond to none rhat devolves upon them
on this earth. Thii struggle f -r fou-
year- has ietdi:'d to all the world that
anieiidmenf- nr.! needed in the Coostitu j
tioti of the United rfrates ' j
.. Tliat which stand-, fore in st iu the pro- j
pesed amendment is, i'iihi hereafter ''no j
Sfa e shall make or enforce any law which !
sua1! a'-udge tne Tnvi!eges or immunities
ol citizens of the United State-; ttorshaW
any State deprive any person i.f liTe, lib
erty or piopt rty. wi:lout d ie proco-s of
law, nor deny to any person within it
jurisdiction ihe equal protection of the
"law." '
Since nations first began to be on this
j Iunet. never was a prop t-i: i-.n like that
parsed for the people of a nation to adopt
r reject. Oio jMaft shall deny any per
sou, no matter whence he comes, no matierj
how poor. o matter how friendless, notoat is that tbe pledged faith of tt.e na:i-n
the equal pr-.tec-'iou of the laws j end the i
Congre-s shall have power, bv the authori- i
ty ol' thfa American people, to enforce this
provi ion.
Who is thereto object to it ? Is :t
objected to by any Chri-tiaii man, to etti
b ouy in your Con-titutioti at least the
-impie go'den rule you ieari.ed at your
mother's knee : "Whatsoever jc v.u!d
that others should 'do unto you, do ye
even so uno them V It is a great step,
but oue iliat ought long since to have
been taken, to say that henceforth no
Sfufe shall deuy to any person, the lowli
est among us no more than tj the.bodyo-'
the people whoar sovereigns ot this land,
the equal protection of the laws. That
principle emb "lieii in your Constitution,
as the will of the. people, and h may well
say that ju-tice has undo this land its
habitation The attribute ol Deity, Just
ce. is to be recognized in and eolorcod by
the ' 'on-titution o; your couirry.
I thiuk.thi.s is the way to make a n:i
tio i imamr'al; to do ju-tice, to make the
fights of all men as sacred as our oiv.i.
In th" nex.t place, the S:ates ot this
Union shall have equ.il representation,
according to their repre-etnative popult
fion: Yoti liiitjw thut theu this war be
gan there were four millions ol slaves in
the land, that by the terms of the c nsti
tution only three-filths of the population
were c united in the bais ot representa
tion. You know, too, that by the cou--uuiitig
fire of the. terrible c -inflict every
fetter lell from every htuua.i iimh, from
ocean to ocean, and when the alarm cud
roje. the sun up ei his -mrse in the heav
e;s biked not down upon a single slafe.
ly means if the emancipation of toe
sl.ivts, the three fifths rule of yoir Con--titutio
i wa- annulled ; and the question
today is. whether South Carolina, wi h
400.000 ot these black men, just emitici-
pated from thraldom, but excluded from
all political rights, shall novr liave tnem
eounted. every one man for man, in the
basis of representation, along with the free
men of Ohio who participate in the ad
ministration of public atlairs In other
word , bv r-n-ou of this change, are the
400,000 blacks of S oith Carolina to eour.t j
is -rrongiy as so many d t.hu voting pop- j
illation of tho N rth? Shall the letter
of the Cons'iiuiion be followed and its
spirit be rejected? Shall 200,000 white
men in South Carolina elect as many
representatives to Co-gress a 000,000
white m ti iu Onto? Shall a minority of
freemen rule a majority? That is the j
one
-tloil.

L irohna chooses to c oiut in her blaek j
populuMon, with her whi.d population, by
granting impartial suTi:ig and thus iti-erva-e
tlie basis r.f her representation,
there can be no reasotiable objection, and
sho will adl additional strength to the
tjrovernm -nt of thee States. We leavo !
ih;s question of sufrrae, you see, with the
s-cveral States, where it has alwujs been ;
but we adopt a jut principle of represen
tation for each and nil the States.
What is the next proposition that op
pocs the unconditional restoration of the
rebel States? It Is that no man who
broke his official oah wirh the tiatio or
Stute, and re uttered KCrvicc in this r hel
lion, shall, except by the grace of the
Ani!-ricu people, be permitted to hold a
, p ititu, either in the National or State
I Government. Pretended Democrats are
j opposed to that. Why ? Because ttie
j chief d iheif party, who waged -this war
' upon the Union and the nation's life, now
a prisoner of war nt Forrres 1 on roe.
i broke his li-tth of ofiice a- Unite i S are" !

'i hey think the;r pnrtv cm never "b?
restored, unless it -ball be c oi-tinnion il
hereafter, to elect J If Davis Sen itor and
B-' Ijee Kpreseotative to Congrus-j.
We say, by this amendment, never t
while that coastii o.rion stnd--, shall any
t the-e tnea. who clothed themselves
with p'ojury as wi'h a girmMt. breikitig
the o.tih-- thev took before God f( firoteet

! or in ;,i,y ,,f the States ol th Jl 'in 'io
i tie j ..oioiCraric p!aftorm r-J cts tins
proposition, and declares for iinmoliatc
and unconditional re.; torafi-ni.
'1 here is still one other pmpo-ition, and
to its dead and 10 Its living defenders, the
pledged f ail ii of this peoph to the liftle
ehildren who are witching by the vacant
chair hf the I mg expected return of their
father from the war, shall never he broken.
These Democrat oppose this, and therein
disgrace our common humanity. That
pledge will be broken unless the loyal
people of the nation engraft this provision
upon their constitution. Y.rj have evi
dence of if all around yvu. Rut let the
people speak -and say that this covenant
shall be kept until every obligation is
fulfilled ; that, the nation will not desert
i;s defenders who sleep iheir last sleep
upon a hundred fields of battle, now rep
resented in their widows and children ;
that the country will not desert its m aimed
heroes who made the trenches of Yicks
burg, and the bloody ground of S-one
River, and the sun crowned heights of
Kenesaw. and the rooky hills of Gettys
burg, holy ground ; that the country will
never consent that rise coveuaut made with
them shall be btoken.
. There are objections raised bv these
Northern Democrats to all the pmvisnns
of the proposed amendment. They tell
you that they must have the initijeuia'e
resrorati-in of tlie eleven reoel States
Thank God ! since they wrote the mise.a
bl s- eoid re-obition of their State plat
form which I have just been citing, somo
thing has been done. The loyal mi--es
of Tennessee, in the hear' of Tennessee,
whose mountains and plains are red witn
the blood of her children, fallen iu t he
great struggle in del'ett-e of the Republic,
have set the grand example, of ratifying
in good faith by a majority of her repre
sentatives in the Sen tte, a d a majority
of Iter whole nuuiher of repre-enta'ive- in
ihe House, that aCs-nd iireut to' youf Coo
ttitiltiou. They have changed their
Constitution and laws so as o be in eon for
tuity with it. And what is bet'er, if
possible, Tennessee lias been restored to j
her pi tee in the Union, and her luH rep
resentation, both in the Senate and iu the
II u-e, have been admitted to ther seat;
Is it asking too much of the rc-idue,
the ten remaining rebellious States, that
they shall imitate tint ex imp'e of Tennes
see? Is it asking to 1 ui'ic'i to allow I hat
the American people themselves shall
decide this issue at tbe polls? for as

The phy-ique of Americans has 1-oig
been a vulnerable point for the a tacks d"
foreigners on the weakness ol our coun
trymen, and hitherto we have too well
deserved these pa'j able hits from our
healthy out-door-sj.ort loving c-m-:ns of
R iglaod. Of late years, however, an
improvement has been manifested in this
Country in this respect, and a reformation
has ben introduced which oi ls fair to be
of gre.t ben lit. in permanently removing
this ju t cause ot censure, and iu lo ingn g
11s up to thy. physical standard ol our
forefathers, whose weil-e.rerci-ed muscles
enabled them to lay the fore-Is of the
wilderness low, and whose powers ot
eudurauce led them to withstand Si) Ml 'I ,j
lully the fatigues of ihe great seveu years
struggle for independence.
Among the most influential causes of
thi- desirable reformation has been the
establishment oi a national our-d aor spur1,
something we were not posses-ed ol even
so late as ten year- ago. Of course our
spirts tini't ueces-arily b? ot foreign
