shall be cerrespondingly reduced.
This is pretty severe test. as we have
shown, to South Carolina; but on the
other hand, if she can exclude her four
hundred thousand backs from sui
frage, and givesto her three hundred
thousand whites representation In
Congress of seven hundred thousand
people, it will be pleaded that
seven Whit, men in New York or any
other Northern State are reduced to
the level in Congress of three white
men in South Carolina; and-thus this
Distinctions. while it lasts, will be
made theme of mischievous section
al agitations Under the Constitution,
before the,rebe1lion, only three tfthss
ofthe slaves of the South were allowed
in eountingthe people for representa-
ton in Congress, but this was among
the concessions to slavery which
strengthened the hands of the North
ern abelitionists. = 4
Section three of the new amend
ment excludes from any federal office
hereafter, until relieved by a two
thirds vote of each House of Con-
gress, certain parties who, in the SER
vice of the United States, had sworn
to support the Constitution and after
wards Joined therebellion Thismay
seem to many generous minds too
sweeping in its exclusions; but asst IS
apparent that it meets the prevailing
tone and temper of the Union war
party of the North, the best the South
can do is to accept it, and trust to the
! healing Influences of reunion to- OBJ
litsrate in a general law of Congress
by two-thirds vote all distinctions
between rebels and Unionists of the
late var. We dare say it will
soon come to this with the adoption
of this amendment by the Southern
States.
But section four, in regard toe the
national war debt, all rebel debts and
obligations, and to compensation for
emancipated' slaves as a measure OF
security for the future, embodies the
great secret Of the strength of this
constitutional amendment in the
Northern States. Herein lies the
great power of the Republican party
in the North, though cut off from the
Administration. 1t is the power of
three thousand millions of dollars
diffused in the national currency and
securities broadcast over the land.
Hence we-say that sound policy and
wisdom cab upon the Administration
and the South to accept and aid in the
ratification of this constitutional
amendment without further loss of
time. =
