WENDELL PHILLIPS AND THE
AMENDMENT.


We publish to-day as much Of the Fourth
Of July Grafton of WENDELL PHILLIPS as
we can find space for. Il will well repay
the reading. Il unmasks the duplicity and
hypocrisy Of his tame and cowardly follow
ers in Congress, and exposes the chicanery
/ Of the constitutional amendment II is an
intrepid utterance from a man, who however
wrong and mischievous his sentiments and
teachings, never uses half-phrases or decep-
ton to accomplish his ends. Heis an original
Radical, and his impetuous zeal "knows no
retiring ebb.' Inthese days Of Misunderstanding
such men serve 10 make the issues distinct
and unmistakable. PHILLIPS has a healthy
contempt for the trimmers and time-servers
who let dare not wait upon ! would"
and omits no occasion to excoriate them.
He is no trickster bui the host of which he
is fugleman is commanded by politicians
and trioksters. To accomplish their purposes
they would betray him and the cause which
he espouses-they would betray the coun-
try, they would betray anything, PHLLPs
generally speaks opportunely, and is
certain TO announce without fear or favor
the most advanced views of himself and the
few sincere and frank men who give the cue
to the party Of great moral ideas"
He sees the baseness Of the party maneuver
concealed in the Constitutional amendment
he perceives that it is framed to deceive the
country first, and that then it is to be used
to deceive any one whom the turn of
events may make il profitable to cheat He
is no lover Of shams, and distrusts the men
who have set this one afoot. He is too
earnest and honest to tolerate such arrant
knavery. lie wants all, and more than all
that the amendment can be construed to Sc
cure, and he knows that whatever constrUc-
ton it may be made TO assume, the chief OBJ
iect Of its authors is TO achieve party ends.
Mr.. PHmLrPs wants negro suffrage, and
the whole programme of obliteratien of
the former institutions and characteristics
Of Southern people. He is in the
van Of that earnest, able and indeiatiga-
bic set who intend to agitate for that end,
and who have heretofore succeeded in
forcing their timid political allies to follow
them. His last speech is a remorseless
whipping-in Of tae wire-Worllers and denun-
citation Of the imposture which Congress is
attempting 10 practice. He wants clearness
and positiveuess in the party action, and so
do all but the ofiioe-hungering and profit
gate tricksters who are managing the amend
ment swindle. Il is one O. the most cum
ningly devised specimens Of political ras-
cality ever attempted, and we thank the
courageous fanatic for assisting to vend-

THE LEGIsE.ATuRE.

Of the Legislature to transact business

roF rs TTTTs TnTNG ?

The ambiguous phraseology Of the con-
stitutional amendent is IA trickish resort Of
its authors, and is sufficient to condemn it
with every fair minded and frank dealing
man. Does it or does it not confer suffrage
on the blacks and elevate them to political
equality? Various opinions have been ex-
pressed on this point
The first section Of the amending article
says:
ART.-SEc. L All persons born or natur-
allied in the United States, aud subject to
the Jurisdiction thereof are citizens Of the
United States and of the States wherein
! they reside. No State shall makeor enforce
any laws which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities Of citizens of the United
States nor shall any State deprive any per
son Of life, liberty and property without due
process Of law, nor deny TO any person
within its jurisdiction the equal protection
Of the law.
Il viii be seen from this shat all PER
SONS, without distinction Of color, born
or naturalized in the country, are made citi-
zens of the United States, and Of the State
in which they live; that is, the blacks Of
this State are to be made citizens of Tenne5-
see and of the United States
It will be noticed in the next sentence
that the State Of Tennessee, by this article,
which, when ratified, becomes a part of the
supreme law" is prohibited from making
any new law or enforcing any old one which
abridges the privileges or immunities Of
citizens Of the United States. Among the
privileges and immunities of citizens of the
United States, are the rights to vote, to hold
Office, and to sit on juries. If the Con-
stitution Of the United States should
/ be thus amended to declare that Ten
nessee shall not abridge the privileges
and immunities Of any of the citizens of the
United States, and in the same section de-
elares that all persons born in the country OF
naturalized according to law, are citizens,
how can the Constitution and franchise laws
fthis or any other State be made TO exclude
the blacks from these privileges and immu-
mites? The negro is a person now. This
amendment proposes to make him a citizen,
and to prohibit all State laws which deprive
him Of equal privileges and powers with
other citizens.
The other sections ofthe amendment con-
tain nothing which excludes the privileges
given by the section quoted to the black,
though they do exclude certain classes Of
whites from certain privileges.
Is there a negro in this woodpile or not?

SENSATIONAL JOURNALrsM.

II the conductors Of newspapers had no

But the daily newspaper is great power in

LITTLE JOE DAVIS GRAVE-LETTER
FROM HIS MOTHER.

When it was proposed by certain estimable
ladies of Richmond, and so heartily second
ed by the children, to erect a marble tomb
over the grave of our ex-President's son,
Mrs. Davis was written to by lady in Rich
mond for the record of his birth, death and
age, and she replies under date June 16,
1866. We have been permitted to maze an
interesting extract, touching the subject.
She writes thus feelingly:
81 Immediately wrote to Canada for an
extract from our family Bible, which would
render il impossible for US to make an error
in the record. So many dreadful events
have swept over us in the past two years,
that we we're afraid to trust our hearts
memory. The record only came yesterday,
hence the delay in answering your letter.
Perhaps had l done so sooner, the inscription
would not have been so touching and ex-
pressive, "a the one you supplied. become

my power of expressing my gratitude seems

of love for him. How, if grief, love and
gratitude were not so strong in our hearts,
we could say more, and perhaps give more
adequate expressions to all these feelings
which they have worked by their offering,
