ANOTHER CONSTITUTION AL
AMENDMENT.

The Boston Courier says 1t is generally
believed at Washington, that the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, basng repre-
sentation in Congress upon legal voters, will
pass both Houses at an early day. The Pres-
dent advocates its passage, all the Western
States will gain representatives by it, and it
will, doubtless, lead ultimately to giving the
rights of suffrage to the blacks at the South
Indeed it is highly probable that it will lead
at no distant day to universal suffrage We
do not believe there is any thing to fear from
the extension of suffrage; so far as it has been
already extended it has worked well. 1t gives
a degree of self-respect to those exercising it,
and gives them an interest in the stability of
the government. We believe that the poorest
classes use a vote as wisely as the rich, and
that where ignorance causes them to vote
wrong selfshness quite as frequently causes
the rich, the educated and the influential
slasses to cast their ballots against the best in
terests of the country.
