The Constitutional Amendment.

leading rlliclls Of the replbicln party
outside Of Congress, and we know that they
have no intention of making the amendment
the final measure of admission. 10 say.
therefore, a3 the National Committee say,
that, on condition of adopting the amend.
ment, as Tennessee adopted it, "the door
stands inyitingly open" for the ten other
States. is to make a promise to the ear to
break it to the hope. To say with
thu Syracuse Republican Convention, or with
the address Of the National Republican Com
mlttee, that Congress will restore the ten
waiting States if these States adopt The
amendment, is to misrepresent the issue.
Slavery was not abolished under the mild

ment. These States are to be admitted on
no conditions short Of the equal political
rights Of their loyal citizens, withoutdistinc

on any other basis would be a national dishOn-
or Until the rebel States come back on this
basis, they shall not come back at all.
Mr.. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, one of the
Committee of Fifteen, IN q recent speech
said
If the present congressional platform ex>
pressed the wAole claim to be demanded of
the South, it was one be would not support.
1t was well as far a, it went, but it did not
20 far enough. There would be no safety
if the South came in and these demands
were only complied with. Our only security
was in endowiDg the colored loyal people Of
the South with the elective franchise, and
the speaker said he did not intend to vote
Co. Co., the admission of either of the ten States
Of the United States until impartial Suffrage
was secured to all the people of those States
lie believed that when the Thirty ninth
Congress assembled in Decenber next, there
would not be found five men who were iden.
tilted with the republican party, who wonld
not be in favor Of impartial suffrage in ewes
ry one Of these ten States as a condition
precedent to their admission.

Or all the many struggles that take plasf in
the heart, there is none so terrible as when the
convictions force themselves upon US that all
our previous course has been one grand ,error,
and when the acts upon which we have prided
ourselves, the wisdom that has made US vain,
the vigor that has proved weakness, the Pru-
dence that we have found folly, the peuetation
that has been but blindness, the meanuess Of
our ambition and the darkness of our light
