Some one may reply that we are go-,
ing'baelz' upon 'the Chicago Platfor i m.-- ,
Not at all, sir. There is nothing its this
amendment that conflicts f with that.—
The, Republican party said in the Chi
cago 'platform that the qUestion 'of suff
rage .in Alio Statesately in rebellion
should be- controlled by the General
Governmer for th protection of the
people, an fel, the urpose of insuring
the: count s - against future rebellions;
but that phe questiot.of suffrage in the
loyal States belong d to the people of
the same.' ' This is ti e substance of the
Chicago tiatform hi this particular. - It
did not, e tiler by e - pression or limpli
cation, tai e the ground that the F ederal
'Constituti m conk!. i of be amended 'w
on that 'subject. . t Simply - affirthed
that a mere act of Congress could not
control suffrage in t to several - States.—
That:lS - 6in' position now. Congress
alone bits-"not the 'power. But, sir, we
hold that the peopl have the' power t 9
inalte,suffrage.unifo m in every. portion
a our land. That power can orilylbe
'exercised by an . mendnient to the
Constitution of the tJuito States, and
we are here ~ to-ni lit , exercising' that
power in ,one of the ways prescribed by

Sir, I may be wrong,. l yet I believe
that the same old element to day op
poses this amendment, in this and
other States, that once opposed the,
early anti-slavery soCieties—tbat op-,
posed the Wilmot Proviso 'in;lB4B-that
favored the extension ofi slavery into
Texas—that advocated the repeal,of the
Missouri line of 1820—that tried to
make Kansas a slave State—that Op
posed the restriction of slavery in 1856
and in 1560—.'that opposed -the arming
of the colored men in ; 1862, upon the;
ground that "niggers" fightl,
and' that deprecated and denounced the
greatest act of Lincoln's lice, the Emani.,
,eipation Proclamation, as unconstitui. l
tional, revolutionary and void..
I repeat, sir, that the same principles
that prompted all these, and that hay
opposed the thirteenth and fourteent
amendments to the FederallConstitu
tiou, by which that great curse of thi
land, Ameilcan slavery, Was abolished
which to us has been more deadly tha
the hoofs of Atilla's horse, and here to
day opposing the wiping out, by , big
constitutional enactment, the la) ves
tige of that "sum of ail villa pies'T
which, ever since this (republic! was
born, has covered our nominally free
institutions with blight and milde7.
I take it, there is not a member upon
this floor who will not readily:admit
that slavery was, and is, an evil. None
of our Democratic friends •would desire
tO bring it back again., You' will all
admit that you are glad it has been

' And if I mistake not; there-are-mem

A few months since friend of mine
was traveling upon Ith Erie railway,
and entering 'ono oft i palatial cars

thicklytcrowded. lip ent to the v 4-,
cant end, and found - a solitary negro
enjoying half a ear to hi self, in who*
he immediately recogniz d the features
of Frederick Douglas. e shook his
hand warmly, and toolsa seat by his
side. An animated conysatlon - sprang
up - in relation to the cone of President
Johnson and the recons ruction acts of
/
Congress. Mr. Douglas grew eloquent
as he Spoke of the aposta y of the " sec
ond Moses," and in less than five min- -
utes the crowded end
-of the car was
empty and every seat near Mr. Douglas
rapidly filled. This' neldent shows the :
controlling force of prejudice, and how
easily, at times, it may be dispelled.
This was called to mind by -the elo
quent and learned speech of the gentle
man from Montgomery [Mr.WMiller.]-
It always gives me great pleasure to
'listen to his remarks. He has seen the
"handwriting on the walk" He has
no doubt of the ultimate adoption of
this amendment; and being a shrewd
politician, is already trimming his sails
to weather his craft though storms
which he sees impending! .
And, sir, as I looked adross the hall,
by gas light, I fancied that I could see
the silent tear glisten in his eye; his
breast heave with deep feeling, and his
lips quiver with emotion, as he turned
his longing and earnest gaze. into.the
lobby while he E.. 0: eloquently and tear
