Editors Standard :-GENTLEMEN-I find
in the Raleigh Register of the 18th instant,
the following statement:
I'VE learn. also, that Mr. Tourgee, who
had been regarded as an extreme Radical,
accepts the dogma of human equality, with
notifications; and proposes to amend and
quality the language of the Declaration of
Independence, as being too broad and
sweeping"
A little attention to the facts of the case
woul have convinced the Register that
the above is far from correct state
ment of The fact. The broadest interpreta
tion which has ever been given to the work
of the preamble of the Constitution of the
United States that all men are created
equal" is, that all men are created equal
in all Natural rights" This was the amend
ment which offered and sustained with the
addition of the word free" The amend
ment, therefore, was" All men are crea-
ted free. and equal in natural ri2hts."-
preferred to take the broad, free, noble, in
terprctation itself, rather than the clause
which needs Interpretation, as distinct and
definite and unmistakahle proposition, rather
than one which is susceptible lot cavil, and a
| double construction. This amendment in
stead Of modifying the dogma of human
equality" is the very broadcast construction
which it has received from any sane mind.
/ Upon that have ever stood, stand now and
ever shall stand-and when wish to ex-
press that idea, / shall not use words which
are incomplete and indefinite.
