A,:ENDtAG THE CONST1TUTfo,

A.s1sNEtAG THE CONSTITUTION.
amendments to the Constitutlon-wise and
otlcrwise-are rushing Into Congress from,
all quarters. Senator Cragin, of New Hamp.
6hIrc, Las introduced one Of the following
tenor:
Paramount sovereignty &hall rctIde within the
sn,seo stntet: and every citizen thereof, OF any
PRIMARILY owe fash. 1oyalty and allegiance to the
hltca st1les. anything in the Constitution, laws
or atuaanccf Of any state 10 the contrary notwith-

Or which my hereafter lie admitted a. 4 member
lhefro! sEail forever remain and couetttue a mari
o. me uhi'ed sta'cs, apd fha1 not. under nny CIR
withdraw thcrcfrcm." ~
Senator Stewart, Of Ncvn9a, has introduced
m amendment, the first section oi which il as
follows:
.Ihe up.Gn Of the State4 under Ibis Constitution
ls and no Slate c.u absolse iIe c1ti
sae United STATES" ~
Next to the folly Of submitting to jury of
Twelve men the question whether State las
right to secedc, after million of me.i hare
drcided II with their blood, is the fo1ly OF
amending the Constitution liz dee1asing thAA
State cannot eecede. Equally absurd Is It
10 dcc1Usc by m amendment to the Constitu-
tiou TINT no State can absolvs Its citizens
Of their allegiance to the United States, after
q gigantic struggle Of four years, In which
eleven States, which sought 10 absolve their
citizens ofsuch allegiance, have been crushed
out of existence and provided with Federal
tctrarchs 10 govern them. What if the jury of
twelve mcn should decide that State has q
right 10 sccedc! What If The requisite num-
bcrof States should fall TO ratify the amend
uicnts Of Mcssrs. Cragiu and Stewart. We
should as eoon think Of proposing an amend
mcnt to tho Constitution that no second-rate
ttagedian shall hare the right 10 assassinatc
