How the profile n Of representation
will be affected by Inc freeing Of the
slaves Of he South BY The late rebellion.
IS q question on which there Is much per,
plexny with the masses. end has been
much misrepresented by the cOpperhead
press Of the land. To The betleF under.
standing Of this question we copy from
The Constitution Of the United States The
section which now controls representation:
s 2. Representatives and direct taxes
shall be appOrtIoned among the several
States which may be inciudtd aElthin this
Union, sccordiRgaogheirrespeeu nuns
bers, which shall be deter nIned by add
ing TO the whole number Of free PERSONS
including those bound for a term Oigyears,
and EXCLUDING Indians not taxsd-thTes-
ftths Of all other persons. 5aql
2 This three 6fths concession 70 the
slave power of the South gave them the
right, to.count FIVE slaves the same on
lheir representative appOrtiOpment as
three free persons, and ibis wal voted
on exclusively BY the whites. ? Thus. if
a planter had $50 slaves, worth perhaps,
| 5Q,O00-and many had double that
Aunber-his single vote for ~Ongressmen
or Presidential Electors would count $50
times as much as the vote OF John Jacob
.HrHI IH.aI
Aytor. whS was worth sac, 600 600. This
was the shape shings we're in when he
rebellion broke out aas 81 ila. qsa
That the freeing of the slaVesha a made
4 change in the Constitution necessary
must be apparent 10 The most ordinary III
~.ellect. The cause, quoted shove. unless
changed, would count the negroes the
same as free persons, increase the POliti-
cal representation Of the rebel States, and
stA The rOting population be the saa.s!
Thus. in The above example. the southern
planter-sttippcd of his main wealth
through his ireason-casts a vote noW
which counts $50 n as much as any
nan 10 the North who pays thrice as much
Internal revenue TAX each year as the
Sou,herner is workable Suutherner
thus gaining the power of 100 free per-
sons through bis reason.
The Chicago Tribune gives the follow.
ing facts and figures to illustrate :
The whole number of seats Ia the
House Of Representatives is Eimned by
law TO PAL for the thirty six OTganized
States. They are spporuoned between
the North and South as fOllowss
u Free States have l56 seats.
Late Slave States have IS seats.
This division is based on the status of
slavery. which made five slaves count a
three free persons. But slavery being
abolished. the freedmen would c cunt the
same as free white persons, unless the
Constitutional Amendment is adopted,
notwithstanding they are all d~isfranchis-
ed.
The enfranchised population Of the
United States, according to the census Of
1850, in round pumbers, was as follows :

Give us white men to vote and white men

The Doctors Puzzled.

The Democrats are sorely puzzled. They
do not know upon what foundation their
platform rests. They have made the John
sonplank movable-to be shifted at pleasure
for they place no confidence in the friend
ship of their newly found friends. Men
who have deceived others in all probability
will again prove false to those with whom
affiliate, inasmuch as it is difficult to restrain
treacherous instincts. The Democratic par
ty cannot with impunity spurn these men.
Their only hope for political supremacy is
in coalition. Within themselves they are
powerless and yet the price. demanded for
this questionable aid certainly destroys the
dream of success to their own party. In
joining hands with the johnson men they
sink their own independence and take back
seats. The more they labor to create dis
sention in the Union Repu ublican ranks, the
closer they unite their opposition and the
further they are away from political power.
Verify the case of the Democratic party Is a
critical one and will battle the skill OF their
" isest doctors. Sal 5Iss.s-ll ~ LL-eszfs rssd
