Speaker Colfax
CITIZENSHIP IN MARYLAND

There has been introduced into the Mary
land Legislature a bill "to restore to rights
OF citizenship certain citizens of the State -,
the object being to get rid 0Athat clause Of the
State constitution which prohibits persons who
tsok an active part in the rebellion from par
ticipating in the government OF Maryland, but
II is not certain that the requisite two.thirds
vote can be obtained in its favor. II 1t passes
there we may expect 10 see other sweeping
changes, as one OF the Senators from Baltimore
has already introduced bill calling conyen
ton to reform the entire constitution OF the
State. which il will be remembered was
adopted as a measure OF safety by the loyal
men OF Maryland during the war. That a
Constitution adopted in a time of conffc, and
danger, may contain provisions unsuited for
q time of peace, is probable but we presume
the reforms contemplated will be considered
manly with view 10 ensure and perpetuate
as lar as possible the ascendency Of the polit-
leal party which now controls the State.
The proposed enfranc b isement bill referred
to shove does not, it is stated, meet the unoual.

Government during The past fve years, will
be rehaoilitated as citizens upon taking an
oath to bear .'true and faithful alleeiance To
the United States, and support the constitution
and laws thereof as the supreme law Of the
land" and TO demean themselves as "loyal',
Citizens. Public officers are required by the
bill to take an additional oath, which contains.
among others, the following clause -"And
do further swear Tor afirm) that will, to
the best of my ability, protect and defend the
Union of the United States. and not allow the
same to be broken up or dissolved, or the
Government thereof to be destroyed under
any circumstances, If in my power TO proven.
II, and that will az all times discountenancs

for their object such dissolution or destr nc

These test oaths are objected to because fin
the language Of the Baltimore Gaset,e) ..tes,
oaths never yet did any good" and neither
OF the two embodied In the bill "will acc core
any mans allegiance TO the United States or
prevent him from ever doing what he other
