THE AMENDMENT OF THE CoNsTI
TUITION.


The amendment of the Constitution abolish
ing slavery passed the Senate yesterday almost
unanimously. This is well. 1t will doubtless
pass the House, although not as unanimously,
perhaps. There is now an opportunity for
members Of the House to make an honorable
record upon this"question, when 1t shall come
TO vste in that body. Rarely has such an
the representative members for winning tho
gratitude of good men in all coming time.
There will be a handsome majority in the
House for emancipation, but 1t ought to be
made so large-the voice of the national legis-
lature should be so emphatic-thAt II will ring
In the ears of all the world
II those who have hitherto been doubtful "
upon this great question will review the matter
calmly, we believe they will come gladly to the
conclusion that duty points them towards
emancipation-emanclp OF the slave and
OF his white master. Not because this man or
that has made a speech in It's favor, but be-
cause the events of the day have spoken, be-
cause-reyerenty be 1t said-God Himself has
declared that now Is the opportunity for the
world 10 see our national curse removed.
Why should not every legislator in Congress
rise above old prejudlces and above party feel
Ing, and do that which the trainers Of the Con-
stItutiOn would hasten 10 do II they could re- e
turn to earth 7 Who owes allegiance to slavery
now Z Is there n member of the House who
will acknowledge fealtyto that Institution to-
dayl It has been unanimously denounced as
a curse and as practically dead by all except
those who are directly in the slave interest,
and who love Its unholy power more than the
union Of these States. And here is an OppOr-
tunlty TO rid ourselves cOnsttutionally of an
evil which many have believed had no right to
exist under the Constitution, and which was in
former years defended by loyal men In the
North only because they believed II guaranteed
by the Constitution.
Slavery apologists have complained of the
exercise of unconstitutional "war powers A"
against tho institutioni but here is an exercise
of power proposed directly in accordance with
the provisions Of the Constitution itself What
shall be urged against that q
There are Copperheads We wot of who will
declare II unjust 10 amend the Constitution
nor, because the several States at war with the
Government will not have an opportunity TO
vote. This is a shallow sophistry.
There are many men who have, by their own
criminal acts, brought themselves into State
prisons in various parts Of the country, and as
wei might 1t be claimed that 1t would be un-
fair TO alter the Constitution because they are
deprived OF the privilege of voting upon the
proposed amendment. No patriotic legislator

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

REPUBLICAN RASsocIATIoE.-The Republican
Association held Its weekly meeting last night at
meeting was called to order By Mr.. A. c. Richards,
first Vice President.
After reading the minutes, the Association pro-
oeeded 10 elect members who had been proposed at
a previous meeting. MesHra. q. M. Powell, ThoE.
G. Connolly, and 4. @. Alden, were unanimously
elected.
Some unimportant business was transacted.
The name Of the advertised lecturer attracted
but few persons, hence no lecture was delivered
before the "RepublioAn Association" last evening"
The Association then proceeded to the election
