Tho joint resolution introduced by Hon. John a.
Bingham in the House OH Wednesday last, which
provides for three amendments of tho C0nsttu-
ton, docs not Oh its face indicate tho purpose of
Mr.. Bingham i'll proposing the amendments, nor
the necessity Which suggests them. Tho object
Of tho first amcndment which provides for tho
repeal Of the fifth paragraph Of the ninth section
of the first tico of the Constitution, to wit ssNo
tux duty shall ho laid articles exported from
any State" is to enable Congress, by an export
duty, to compel the European Powers to pay tri-
butte upon our productions which thoy must buy,
such rs cotton, tobacco, &c, and thereby relieve
SO TINT extent our own people from the burdens of
taxation.
The second amendment proposed declared that
emo part Of any debt or debts contracted in aid Of
the late rebellion, or which may hereafter be coll
tracted in aid of any rebellion against tho Unitod
States, shall ever be assumed or paid by the Uni
ted States nor shall any State assume or pay my
part thereof" This amendment il intended to
make reputation of our war debt impossible by
making it unconstitutional to pay anything for
bcllion either by United States or State appro-
priation. This being done, no party, North Or
South, can ever open the question for the ratifica
tion of such an amendment. It is an implied dc
caration that both tho States and the nation hold
all their resources exclusively to pay the debt Of
the Union contracted III its dcfcncc.
Its ratification will be an express and solemn
condemnation, by al the people of all the States,
OF treason and secession. Tho third and last
amendment declares that the Congress shall have
power to make NIL laws necessary and proper to
secure to all persons, without distinction in every
State of the Union, equal protection i'll their rights
OF life, liberty and property. This is intended to
secure equal personal not political, rights to all
persons, without distinction, in every State which
is n part of the Republic. II is q healing measure.
and a measure of security for tho future against
the caamitics and crimes of tho past.
