Democracy, such as it is, opposes the
constitutional amendment, on the ground
that it bases representation on the aggre
gate white population and not exclusively
on voters, although il denounced the propc
sition to amend the Constitution by making
voters the basis of representation, when
that was urged. But what can they gain
by defeating the amendment? Represcn-
tation is not now based upon voters, but
upon the aggregate population of all elias
SEES and colors. The effect of the amend
ment will be to deprive the negro States o!
representation based upon negroes, which
gives the Southern voters an unjust advan-
tage over the voters of the North by con-
ferring upon them political importance
out of all proportion to their number.
