a prompt refusal, stating that South Car
olina is still under martial law, and that
he will not deliver up any property in
his charge until ordered to do so by his
superior officer. The military generally,
and the Union men of the State. what
few of the latter there are, are indig-
nant over the proclamation, and the at
tempts Of the unadulterated secession
lists to make use of it to regain their lost
political positions. Many considered
that Gov. Perry had exceeded his power,
whilst others asserted that he was acting
in accordance with the Presidents in

Constitutional Amendment.

General Schenck, of Ohio. recently
made speech at Portsmouth IN that
State, in which he discussed at length
the amendment of the Constitution in
relation to the representation in Con
gress. He took the same ground as the
I JOURNAL has done.
He said that if no other representative
made the proposition he would that
from this time forward, Of all the States
alike. the Constitution of the United
! States shall he so amended as that rep
resentation shall be founded upon votes,
and not upon population,
Under the present rule Pennsylvania.
with a population of 2,Si9. .266, has
twenty four Representatives III Congress.
while North and South Carolina, Georgia.
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Lou,
isana together, with a free poulation of
>, 500, 7s5. being ten thousand less than
Pennsylvania, have thirty nine Represen-
tatises. Vow, as these negroes who thus
have fifteen Representatives in Congress
as slaves are free, they will be counted
as two tifths more, and that will make
ten more Representatives, giving to the
white men who vote i'll those States forty
nine Representatives for n population
which, in Pennsylvania, has butstwenty
four Representatives, thus doubling the
power of every Southern voter, as com
pared with the Northern voter.
The General, by such incontestible
figures as these. illustrated his argument.
The proposed amendment places the
question of negro suffrage in such an at
titude that the South must adopt it or
lose their present unfair proportion of
Legislative power,
Those who vote should he resented
Not the inert mass of population, such
as negroes, Indians. Chinese and IN
natu, allied foreigners. The real pow
er of the country is in the hands of the
voters, and these alone They make or
unmake. change or establish, tear down
or build up. and the ratio of representa-
ton should be based upon their numbers.
This is popular sovereignty, built upon
4 basis, that cannot be denied or gainsav-
ed The voting sovercigns are counted,
and the powers is given to each one equal
ly. No ones power is increased by rea-
son of the vast number of his ignorant
and inert neighbors, who have not yet
been incorporated into the body polite
as citizens.
Suppose for instance. that n vast Chi
nese population pours into our Western
gold bearing region, as it has already
begun to do. Are we willing to give the
people of California and Oregon an ex
ira representation for that reason: These
people take little or no interest in our
public affairs, and do not constitute
half so good basis of power AS the
thinking, responsible and voting popu
lation. At present these Chinese are
counted as well as the free negroes here,
but we can well afford to cut down lit
tie in our own strength in order, in the
final adjustment, to acquire much great
er proportionate power.
Let the principle be established of
equal rights and equal powers among
voters. North and South. East and w est.
