TILE AtTFPRA.GE AMENDMENT. • Atler melt, debate and conference, the two Jiousi , s,of Congress' agreed last week upon proposing to the Legislatures of the several States an amendment to the Constitution of the Unltial,States, in the following terma: Anvicuri The right of the ritii.ens of the United States to vote shalt not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any 'State, on account of race, color, or preyinus condition of servitude. SEC' 2. That Congress shall have pomE:to epforee this article by' appropriate le'elsTa ton. i from the bill as it came from tae•Setrate by dropping the right of the, ne groes to kohl office and in omitting religion and c'thtcation. — lt trill now go Out to the Legislatures of the States for ,ratification by • a majority vote. ..-The altprovai of three fourths of them is required. - This will re quire the Radicals to Control twenty-eight State They have at this time not more tluin twenty-sO in their-power,nrid . :)( these there are -seVeral which cannot now he fully rehetion to adopt the amendment. Even Mr, tinniner and Mr. Boutwell ex; prerSed the opinion that it cannot be ratified; awl their doubts or despair should encourage the friends of State righis to make a vigorous tipposition to the amendment in every State ‘there there an inch of ground. to tight upon. What will the present Legislature - of ibis State do iu regard to it? It was not elected with reference to any such issue. Will t he' Radical majority dare to force mg' o suf- iritge upon Pynnspritnia without first alloNN - intr, the people to express an pinion upon it? It they 'do, we predict that , hey will excite a stOrm of indignation whicl ivlll sweep the Republican patty out of power at the next ante election. ' sHALL NEGRO SUFFRAGE - RE FORCED ON THE PEOPLE WITH OUT TIIEIR CONSENT In every district , of Pennsylvania there are scores of Republieurts, tti ho profess to be openly and irrevocably opposed to negrO suffrage. The time has come for these gen tlemen, if they arc sincere in their profes sions, to show their sincerity by something more than words. A constitutional 'amend ment has passed Congress, anti will soon be soliMitted to all the fitate Legislatures,which makes negro suffrage universal in this coun try. , It is expected that the Legislatures will be hared by party drill to pass it; 'slid thus this offensive provision will be engrafted up on the Cimstitution, without fin opportubity for the people to be heard, and against the wiSlas of a very -large majority. Shall or shall not this base wroposition, SO inimical to -41 our ideas of a I . 3epublican l zovernment, prevail It rests with the people= themselves to decide, and especially upon" that portion of them who Ita . e hitherto been 'identified with the Republican 'party-. While the• re monstrances of -Democrats would' pa s fin- Veded, the representatives of the 'dominant t hirty at our several State capitals would not Are to defy the seatiments of their known pat ly friends, We urge, then, upon all,lle publicans who do not want to see this odious amendment made a part of the land, without the people being conqnited,, to. take speedy steps towards acquainting their repres'enta t:ves with the'view s they entertain on the sitbleet. In a few weeks more it may be too late, and their neklect dlqw may be thacause ftir serious regret in future.

The State Temperance Convention assem bled in liarrisbirg last week, and a very lame representation was present. 1 great many re.4cilti Ilona were adopted, and aniong 'them' the following: "lltloleed, That the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating drinks are everywhere a pub lic injure, and Should be held to be a crime:'• This, coming from temperate men, sounds rather intemperate.' It is likely that liquor will be manufactured just as long as "grass grows and water runs," and any attempt at :.stringent legislation, such as recommended above, will only act as a stimulus to thou sands to engage in its illicit manufacture in isolatedlocahtita, and to dispose of it in large quantities to persons who arc not in the habit of drinking to excess, but who, in that bvent, might be led to do so. Prohibition is no remedy for the great social, evil of dram drinking. Philanthropists may sketch with ' faithful accuracy the victims alcohol—of shivering bankrupt debtors, besotted intel lects. started wives and little ones, and the final doom of the drunkard, but it remains tole proven that prohibition Will cure these horrid ulcers which gnaw at the vitals of so many—even among the most intelligent minds In the country. In godly Massachu setts; with ler stringent prohibitory laws, it is cal c cula led that t,28,000,000 'worth of liquor is-still annually retailed. Our present laws regulating the manufacture and sale of in toxicating drinks are a humbug., ,It the la , ks. established., no discrimination in favor of persons to whom licenses should be graoted, and then made 'it a penal offense tOmanurar titre or sell adulterated; or polsonims the evil Woul.l'in a measure be remedied. Intemperance a terrible evil. No one trill Air a moment question %hi 3, but we ,see nn boliition' to the difficulty- Which now agitates tile teroperane'e element of theStute ia.the , course•they desire to pursue. . The firat mat step- tow•aryl the redemption of drunk ards will be attained by., securing legislation to prevent' the sale of adulterited drinks, and any/saloon keeper who is convicted of, vending ligaidpoison shOuhl be made 'to suffer.

It shows the prosperity of the Comps-. uy. , Notwithstanding the general depression felt In all business during the past year, the business of this Company not only suffered no diminutimi, but wog even , extended be yond the limits of any'previous year. 2. It shows that the Company does a safe business. The' reckless accumulation of a large number of new risks signifies nothing to the strength of a company or the security of its policy-holder Only a company that exercises the most rigid scrutiny in accept jag risks can declare' such dividends as the "American" -has for so many consecutive. ygors. 3.-lt shows that the affairs of the COmpany are well managed:. - Only the most skillful healing of the funds entrusted to them could enable the Trustees to declare so large a divi ; dend, and this is, after all, the very best se curity that can be given to the insured. 4.• It shows that the Convent Dave placed just one-half df the annual premium to the credi, of mutual policy-holders, which may be .used in the payment of future premiums. S. It shows that Philadelphians and Penn sylvanians neelnot go,oqtaido of thoivown city and State to find all that is desirable in any Life Insurance Company,. and to secure all possible benefits of being.instared. Why didn't you go -Into the "American" last year ?" See to it that you go in - this year fur their next dividend. ALEX. Wumuns, President. GEORGE NUGENT, Vice Prest. Jour: . S.

Vice President Colfax made "a brief speech on taking his seal io.the Senate Chamber. Hon. James 'G. Blaine, of Maine, was elected Speaker of the House. The ceremony of inaugurating Oen. Griu took place with great pomp. His eahittet was not announced up to the hour we go to press on Thursday afternoon. Below is the new Presid t's inaugural ad dress: Citizen* o f the United Mate : Your suffrage having elected me to the office of Pleaidentpf the United /Mates, I have, in ednfortnity with theConstitbtion of our coun try, taken the oath.prescribed therein. I have takenthis'enth . telthout mental reservation, and with the determination to do to the best Of my ability all that it requires of me. The responsibilities of the position I feel, but tic eept them without fear. The office has come to me unsought- Lcommence its duties un tranuneled. I bring to it a conscientious de sire and determination to fill it to the best of toy ability and to the satisfaction ofthe people. On all leading questions agitating the public mind. I. will always express inv views to Con gress, and urge them according to- my judg ment,: lad When Ithinkadvisabte will exert* tbeconsiltutional-privilege of interposing u -veto to defeat measures which I oppose but all laws will be faithfully. executed, whether .they meet rurapproyator not. shall, on all.subjects v have a potty tiirticoiningnd ; but none to enforce against the will" of the pet:- ple. Liws are to govern all alike—those op posed as well as those who favor them. know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxiouilaws so effective us their strin gent execution. The country . having just emerged from a great rebellion, many ques tions will come up be- ore it for settlement in the next four years which the preceding ad ministrations have never had to deal with. In meeting these it isdesired that they should be approached calmly, without prejudice, hate or sectional pride.reinembering that the greatest good to the greatest; number is the object to be attained. This requires security of person, property and for religious and po litical opinion ittevery part of our common I I country, without regard to local - prejudice. Laws to secure these ends will receive my best' efforts for their enforcement. - A great debt has been contracted in secur ing to, us and our posterity the Union. The payment of this, pnneipal and interest, as well as a return to a specie basis as anon as it can be accomplished without material dif ference to the debtor clamp or country, must 'be provided for to protect the national honor. -Every dollar of government. indebtedness should be !mkt in gold, unless otherwise ex pressly stipulated in the contract. Let it be enderstood that no repudfauir of one farthing of our public debt will be trusted in public place, and it will go far toward strengtheniug a credit which ought to be the best in the world, and will ultimately enable us to re place the debt with bouds bearing less inter than we now pay. To this should be added a faithful collec tion of the revenue, a strict r ecountability to the Treasury for every dollar collected, and the greatest practicable retrenchment of ex penditure in every department of 'govern ment. When we compare the paving capacity of the country now,with ten States still in pov erty from the effects of war, tilt soon to emerge, I trust, into greater prosperity than ever before, with its paying capacity. twenty five years ago, and calculate what it proba bly will be twenty-five years hence, who can doubt the feasibility of paying every dollar then with more ease than we now pay for useless luxuries! Why, it looks as though Providence had bestowed upon us a strong box—the precious metals - locked up in. the ate ile mountains of the far West, which wi are now forging the key to unlock to meet the very contingency that is now upon us. Ultimately it may be necessary to. increase the facilities to reach these riches, and it may be necessary also that the general govern ment should givelts aid to secure this access ; but hat should only be when a dollar of ob ligation to pay secures precisely the same sort of dollar to use now, and not before. Whilst the question of specie payments is in abeyance, the prudent business man is careful about contracting debts payable in the distant future. The nation should follow the same rule. A prostrate commerce is to be re built and aU industries encouraged. The young men of the country, thoie Who from their age must be its rulers twenty-five years hence, have a peculiar interest • in maintaining the national honor. A moment's reflection as to what will be our command ing influence among the nations of the earth in their day, if they are only true to them 'selves, should sit/spire' them with national pride. All - divistons, geographical, political and religious, can join in this common f•enti ment. flow the public debt iito be paid it specie payments resumed is not so important as that a plan should be adopted and acquiesced in. A united determination to do is worth more than divided councils upon the method of doing. Legislation upon this subject may not be necessary now, or even advisable, but it will be when the Chill Law is more fully re stored in all parts of the country and trade resumes its wonted channels. It will be my endeavor to execute all laws in good faith, to collect all revenues assessed, and to have them properly accounted for and economically disbursed. I will, to the best of my ability,appoint to office those who will carry out this design. In regard to a eign policy, I would deal with nations as equitable law requires individuals with each other, and I would protect the law abiding citizen, whether of native or foreign birth, wherever his rights are jeopardized or the flag of our country floats. I. would respect 'the rights of all nations, demanding equal re- Let for our own. If others depart from rule in their dealings with us, we may be compelled to follow their precedent. The proper treatment of the original occu pants of this land—the Indian—is one de serving of careful study. I 'will favor any course towards thetti which tends to their civilization, christianization and ultimate cit izenship. The question of suffrage is due which is likely to agitate the public so long as a por tion of the citizens of the nation are excluded from its privileges in any State. It seems to we very desirable that this question should be settled now, and I entertain the hope and express the desire that it may be by the rati fication of the fifteenth article of theltmend meat to the Constitution. In conclusion, I ask patient forbearance of one towards another throughout the land, and a determined cZort on the part of every citizen to do his ahare towards cementing a happy Union, and I ask the prayers of the nation to Almighty God in behalf of this con• summation.- ilth) abbtrtionnents.
