adoption Of the Constitutional 1nsead-
0aeat.

sseat.
Thirty States have now adopted the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution, and FIVE allow
that States that have once ratified IN amend
ment to the Constitution, have the power to
withdraw their assent before the final adoption
OF a sufficient number to make tia part Of the
original Instrument itself, which is very doubt
full. only two having withdrawn that assent
Ohio AMI New Jersey. . sufficient number Of
States is lcft (2s).
The fourteenth amendment Is therefore part
Of the supreme law Of the land. Its first section
makes all persons born or natursli.ed in the
Unitcd States, citizens not only Of the United
States, but Of the state in which they may live {;
and prohibits the states from "abridging the
privileges orimmunities ofeitiiens Of the United
States" II also prohibits the states from de-
priving any person Of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law, or denying to any
person within their jurisdiction the equal pro-
lection Of the laws.
The second section aims TO conform the num-
Der Of electoral votes for President and Vice.
President to the proportion Of male citizens pos
.csscd Of the franchise. Il declares that "when
the right to vote at any election for the choice OF
electors for President and vicc-Presidcnt Of the
Unitci States. representatives in Congress, the
executive and judicial officers ola state, or the
members Of the legislature thereof, Is denied to
any Of the male inhabitants Of such state (belng
twenty-onc years Of age and citizens Of the
United Statcs), or in any way abridged except
for participation in rebellion or other crime, the
basis Of representation therein shall be reduced
In the proportion which the number Of such
male citizens shall bear to the whole number Of
male citizens twenty-One years Of ago in said
state.''
The third section prohibits from holding any
Office, federal or state, any one who shaving
previously taken On oath rs member Of Con-
grcss or as an officer Of the United states,or as
member Of any state legislature, or as an eIecu-
tive or Judicial officer Of any state, to support
the Constitution Of the United States, shall have
engaged in Instruction or rebellion against the
same, or given all or comfort to the enemies
thereof" But Congress may, by vote Of two
thirds Of each House, remove such disabilities,
and doubtless viii do 50, by general act Of
amnesty. as soon IS the work OF reconstruction
Is completed. 1t has already removed the dis
abilities Of many persons.
The fourth and last section declares the valid
ity Of the United States debt, and makes all
debts contracted to aid the rebellion illegal and
void.

THE "BLoATED BoNpuoLpn.-In March Of
the current year Seymour in Now York city
made the following statements in regard to the
class of persons who hold United States bonds
and the same were published in the Argus ofthe
18th Of that month: ..t.....r ...
II \, mistake to suppose that they (thc bond.) are
mostly held by capitalists Large sums beiont ., children
ami widows under the order of the courts 90 the action OF
trustees have been invested In government bonds The
vast amounts held by FIRE and M insurance companies and
savings banks, are In fact held In trust ior ana are the
r.isnoe az the great body Of acve business and labong
men or women, or q widows and orphans.
Yet this same doubly infamous Seymour now
accepts every word Of the Democratic platform
that favors q financial policy that would reduce
the value Of these bonds to zero. Laboring
men, widows and orphans are the persons who,
by the admission Of the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, would suffer most from the
triumph Of the Democratic policy.
