|peaeell he fsquiredby law, to make In!

|peace,s be fequired ~ Law, to make any
'otlier oath Or affirmation the Legislature
pleases, under pain of forfeitiug his right
to vote. We feel free to say this argu-
meht is not worth answering. The
Constitution has told us, in language
as plain as any we can use, what oath
the voter may be required by law to
take. and at what time such requirement
may be- made.
THE last point made by Mr.. F is that
the terms public danger" as they are
used in the section just quoted, the Con
stitution meant to include those cases IN
which the dominant party is in danger
of being beaten by their opponents or
those whom they see proper to desig-
nate as rebels and disloyal persons.
There is always public danger, he says
in allowing them to vote, "-therefore,
do not LET them vote. For instance, II
there is any danger of the radical fac
tiop being beaten at the ensuing cleo
t;ons. then this is time of pubic
danger" and they may administer not
only the oath to support the Constltu'
ton, but any other oath they please
This is not Mr. FERGUsoN's language
but il is the substance of his argument.
It is so manifest a perversion OF the
meaning and intent of the Constitution,
that we hope to be excused from at
tempting to answer it Bnt we would
respectfully suggest that, upon the prin
ciples here laid down, this business OF
voting might be greatly simpllfied Let
the Legislature dispense with the cum
brous and expensive machinery OF the
registration act, and appoint some body
in every conntyfs go round aud swear

may, by proclamation, direct

mept that can be made in defence OF the

ALArE number Of the Cincinnati Com
n,ercial contained letter from Col VIM
BURNETT, a citizen we'll known in Cincln'
natl for his truthfullness and loyalty,
addressed to Hon GARRETT DAVIS
This letter is an extraordinary one.
His testimony to the frauds, perlurles'
robberies, treasons, indeed to the wheie
catalogue of possible crimes committed
by officers of the government, not only
upon the peaceful and loyal people oil
the Sontb, but against the United STATES
and upon its agents, is that of an eye
witness; the whole of which be saw and
a part of which. he was the victim.
Taken in connection with the high
professions of purity and virtue put
forth by the party in power Inc ioi',
ness of its aims, and The disinterested'
ness of its benevoleuce, this exposition
is exceedingly instructive In the mia
mons profigacy and shameless scoun-
drelism of the TUTTLEs and DANAs, we
discover the appropriate practical com
mentary upon the bald fallacies OF
BEEcHER aud PHILLIPS, the philanthro--
pic malignity of SUMNER, and the hn-
manitarian driyei of the New York
Tribune. A party protesting to be gov
erned by peculiarly conscientious mo
tiyes is always the hot-bed where vile
propensities, like kuotted snakes, en-
gender their impurest offspring; but, OF
all the conscientious arties that ever
existed the one whose doings are here
exposed, appears to have been the most
offensive and loathsome That Heaven
could look down upon such a scene OF
iniouity, and not be moved to some
special act of retributory Justice, would
seem to call in question the strictness OF
its supervision in human affairs and if
the people of the United States can read
the story and not treasure it mp as
motive for resistless effort to thrust the
monsters out Of power, who have begot
ten and permitted these abuses, 1t viii
