What we stated was on the authority of en-

examined the record. 1t is true that Hard

rage on Colorado, voted nay; bus few days
after, under the crack of Thaddsus Stevens
whip, he uoted gust the other aray, as the fol
lowing proceedings will show, of May 7th.-
Mr.. Julian offered the following:
Pssolred, That the judiciary committee be in

ing bill providing that hereafter the elective
franchise shall not be denied nor abridged IN any
of the territories of the United States, account
OF race or color; and provided further, and there
by giving notice of the fact that henceforward no
state which the people of any of said territories
may organize shall be admitted into the Union
whose constitution shall sanction such denial or
a5ndgment of the elective franchise.
/ This was passed, Harding voting for it,
Now this applies to ell the territories, includ-
1 ing Colorado. A few days before, Harding
voted precisely the other way. But at that
time Thad had not told Harding how TO
vote we suppose. Poor Harding, his heart
would cease to beat" if it were not for green
backs and Thaddeus Stevens.
Again, on the 18th day of May Mr. Ashley,
lsof Ohio, moved to amend the organic oct OF
Colorado aud the other territories. one OF
which amendments is follows: (See Con-
/ ,ressional Globe, page 2,60l.)

territories aforesaid there shall be no denial of the

The Chicago Republican having got rid of
Charles A. Dana, and Col. Mack, seems to be
trying to exhibit some grains Of sense, on
public matters. It now says:
There is no mistaking the temper of the
country. 1t wants the business of recon-
struction closed up with as little delay as
possible. Gentlemen in congress must re-
member that the settlement Of this question
does not rest with them alone. Every prop
osision to amend the constitution has to be
ratified by the legislatures of twenty seven
states. In preparing amendments to the
constitution, they should be framed with q
view to win the approval of the required
number of states, and not to crafty the per,

CANADIAN CONFEDERATION.

A strong effort is being made to uni to the
British North American Colonies, under one
general government, and the party of confed-
GRAFTON seem to be carrying every thing before
them in the New Brunswick election, in spite
of extraordinary efforts on the other side
Ifcarried there. the scheme will meet with
opposition in Newfoundland and Prince Ed
wards Island. And even if these persist in
their opposition, their decision will not be al
lowed to stand in the way Of the realization
of the plan. The queens advisers cay in
plain and direct. terms, that they wish to
hsncsforth deal with one provincial govern
ment; each separate province may have its
local machinery OF government, but there
must DO one organ for the whole. The dis
senting colonies will soon learn that this pro-
gramms has to be carried out, or they will
have to seek other than British protection.
