the amendment read from their platform OF the SIN OF
January last the words THE assent OF threef0urths or
the states whether represented Congress not Is
sentia TO the validity OF the constitutional Amendment
What is that but saying Kentucky aud the ten
surgent States refuse their assent to this other
amendment of the Constitution the nation Is poweress
and cannot amend their own form OF Government
RATIFICATION OF THE AMENDMENT
Threefourhs of the organized constitutional states
made 1t part Of the Constitution More than 20 OOOCO OF
freedmen in the organized States have declared that Art
Gle shall be part of the Constitution only Delaware
Maryland and Kentucky of all the organized represented
States have rejected It, The nation has thus declared
the nsurrectionary States wOnd be restored 10 po
power they must conform their State constitutions to
that righteous demand which declares the citizenship
and National OF every person born within the uris
dicon Of the United States which declares tho appor
tOnment of representation according to the whole nun
Der OF free persons LII each state which secures the rights
Of person and the rights OF citizenship III every State
sganst the usuTpaon or tyranny am OF the majority whe6
and living defenders forever nvoate which secures the
people In every state against the assumpn1n either T
state or Congressional legislation OF any debt CONTRACTED
in aid of rebellion and prohibits any payment for slaves
restored by act of CongressD from office. CIVIL and mill
tary, State and National all who violated oaths In order
to aid rebellion thereby adding to their treason the
crime Of perjury that being the only disability imposed
by the terms offered upon the whose hands are
stained with the damning botch Of rarcde and treason
Never time on the earth were terms so gener
offered by triumphant nation to conquered rebels
1t is sublime humanity which has no parallel IN human
history. That is the declared will OF the nation.
PENDING REVOLT IN OHIO.
This the Democracy OF Ohio have resolved against ana
declare their second resolution of January last as fol
lows We therefore, in the hope that the warning VIII
be needed, do sOlemnly warn the advocates Oi the
plan that 1t will not submitted to-" What all this
but solemn declaration OF revolt unless the triumphant
oonsprators II is in vain that the advocates Of this Wild
arrogant declaration set howl that is unconstu
the nation and the Legislatures of ourths OF the
organized and represented States There not an intel
conclusion OF the assertion Constitution only
be amended by the consent OF threeOrhs OF the States
whether represented IN Congress or not Is that eleven OF
these States by passing ordinances OF secession ana re-
fusng TO elect Senators and Representatives, may thereby
prevent the remaining twentysX States from amending
the Constitution and Indeed from egslatng at all with
the consent of Andrew johnson, who according TO
their own logic, is only socalled President lAppause
Strange as may appear that precisely the conclusion
Of this Democratic party a. declared IN their resolutions
last
Resolved That the Constitution provides that no bill shall become
sss without & he m approval % o. as g, f N. adr ~ n. So
thirds o. each house Of congress .as one o ne o % %

And this. we are solemny warned by the Democratic
party will not be submitted to. Why not say In plain
words what they by this proclamation against the
socaed Congress Of twentyseyen organized States to
wit That all the legislation OF the said sOcaled Con
ress for want OF representatives Of the ten nsur
gent and the assent Of the State of Kentucky Is
the Constitution, already ratified by the peoplef
you to be told that the acts Of the Thirty and
submitted to that the act OF the sOcaed Congress In
creasng the pay of soldiers is void thatthe act provd
abled soldiers OF the Republic, and 10 the widows,
mothers and orphan OF those who went down In
the tempest of the great conflict void and the acts
providing for the assessment and collection OF revenues
to sustain the Government and make good It's pledged
faith are oil void and OF effect and not 10 be sub
mitted to- and all because JEFF Davis, Robert Toombs,
Judah p Benjamin, John sldde, and every other sena-
tor and Representative of the Rebel States rushed
OF Congress levy upon the Government did not
voluntarily return and were not humbly petltoned by
and condescenson allow the nation 10 egslaesubiect,
however 10 their viii and that OF Andrew Johnson !
Surely the nation will be frightened from its propri-
ETY. by this Democratic thunder OF Mr.. NAlandghan.
Cheers His prophetic warning-that the nations Will
Is not TO be submitted TO may amount at last 10
than his proclamation that the nation could not
subdue the Rebellion Notwithstanding his prophetic
word. Rebel America conquered. This Democratic
champion who would not vote man or dollar To carry
on for the Union, who, when sent through the
enemy's lines received an ovation all the Rebel
Confederacy the moment that the wounded de
tenders of the Republic the PRISON pens OF Anderson
vile and Belle Isle aud Salisbury were dying by the
slow torture OF famine aud poison Is the At man make
solemn warning that the acts OF the socaed Congress-
and OF the triumphant nation which II represents are
not 10 be submitted TO-"
LAWFUL STATES OF THR UNION.
The issue involves have stated IT, the right OF the
organized people OF tho United States who remained
faithful TO the Union and Constitution, TO take
curties for future safety, and require their accept
ance by the insurgen States condition OF restOra-
ton That is a cheap logic which declares that Ia the
OF the the people OF State not admitted to
representation by reason or lts dsOrganlzatcn and
treason cannot ratify and accepta Constitutional amend
ment as a condition Of restoration Who does not know
that the people Of the Territories before admission to
have elected Senators by their L'gsa
lures and elected Representatives TO Congress by ballot
before the had declared them entitled 10
sentaton, and before they were, in TACT admitted
States of the UnOn7 The subsequent admission Con-
gFess State by relation legal effect To their
acts not know that the Constitution OF the
United States 1889, when the Congress first met under
IL and egsated for the nation there represented had
not been ratified by Rhode Island North Carolina and
that the ratified by each OF those States when
IN fact they not in the Union represented i'll
Congress- and that after their admission III 1890, by
spec law the Judiciary act passed In 1889 extended
over them In demanding this condition tO representation
in Union the nation IN 1857 does precisely and with
that only the States faithful 10 the Union and the C0ns
suon should be represented III Congress- and
the powers States IN the Union II must not be for
gotten that have seen, this act of the people in
