"eral constitution. Whenever the states
may choose to substitute other republican
forms, they have right to do 60, and to
claim the federal guarantee for the latter.
" The only restriction imposed on them is
: that they shall not exchange republican
: tor anti-republican constitutions.
This is clever writing, and lively banter.
But what does it amount to as argument?
At the time Madison wrote the article from
which the World quotes, South Carolina was
the only state in which negroes were exclud-
ed from the ballot-box, and the colored popu-
lation of that state then bore but small
proportion to the whites. SO far, therefore,
as Madison is authority, his opinion that the
constitutional guarantee of Il republican gov
eminent could not be enforced against any
state as long as the existing republican
s. forms are continued is no answer to the
position of Congress in respect to any state
but South Carolina. And as to South Caro-
lima, the change in the relative proportion OF
white and colored population has been so
great, that exclusion of blacks from the
ballot, if the government of that state was
republican before 1900, has become equiya-
lent to g an aristocratic monarchical limo
vation, requiring the Intervention of Con
gress
la fact, the changes in all the slayeholdng
states from the simple republican form Of
government to an aristocracy Of color, has
been most apparent. 1t was not anticipated
by the trainers Of the government, who ex-
pected that slavery would gradually die out
rather than increase until it controlled the
national as we'll as state governments, and
threatened to pervert the constitution and
turn the machinery of the federal govern
ment into an instrument of despotism- Mad
ison could not, therefore, have written with
any reference to the facts which now exist
and if his commentary or the text of the
constitution should, taken literally, seem to
favor tho theory that state, which now dis
franchises more than half it's citizens if that
disfranchisement is the result Of a state con-
stitution which existed when the federal
constitution was adopted. has yet republic
can form of government, the facts must be
sufficient reason, with any candid believer
in republican government, for understanding
Madison literally according to the spirit of
his commentary, and not strictly according
to its letter 1t is simply an impossibility,
according to any rational theory of republi-
can government received by anybody except
modern Democrats, that government in
which majority of the people have no voice
can be republican in form. Those who insist
that such a government is republican, do not

Rights of American Citizens.

A meeting was held at Burlington last
week to take action respecting the rights of
naturalized American citizens. Mr.. j. J.
Monahan was chairman, and j. b. Sculley
Secretary. The attendance was good
In the absence of the invited speakers,
the audience was addressed by Capt. Loner-
gan, l.. l.. Lawrence, Esq, j. Dullahan, and
l.. Bigelow. ESQ.,, of the Burlington Times,
also by e. q. Benedict, ESD, of the Burling-
ton Free Press, and States Attorney Engles-
by, all of whom claimed that no distinction
could be made between native and foreign
born citizens in the protection extended them
by the government.
Capt Lonergan then read the following
resolutions for the consideration of the meet
ing, and the meeting after promptly adopt
ing them. and a resolution Of thanks to the
speakers, offered by James b. Sculley, ad-
Journed.
ReSOlred, That we, the native born and
naturalized and adopted citizens of Burling.
ton, VT. call upon the Government Of the
United States to make good its plighted faith
to every citizen who has foresworn and re-
powers, and to protect him equally with the
native born citizen, by the strength Of its
right arm, in the pursuits of life. whether at
home or abroad.
RcSOlred, That on every battle field from
Lexington to Petersburg citizens of the
United States of foreign birth have freely
shed their blood in behalf Of their adopted
country, and attested the sincerity Of their
love of liberty and equal rights, the only
boon of freemen and that we pledge our
selves to agitate this subject until all mon
archical governments have learned and are
forced to admit that person once admitted
to the rights and privileges Of citizen of the
nited States is no longer called upon to
submit to their tyranical power and that
such governments do not question his ma
tionality.
ReSOired, That the honor and dignity OF
this great Republic requires, in order to sus-
tain its sacred pledge to the naturalized citi-
zen, the recognition by the world of the
principle that once naturalized, forever
absolves from all foreign Allegiance" and
that no power shall maintain doctrines ut
variance herewith.
Reso{red That our Representatives in Con
grcss hereby requested to do their duty

Congress of the United States to declare the
national VIII On INiS ( 70 tnc naturaIlZed cit

GOV. Dillingham; and F. V Randall were
expected but were unable to be present.
Col. Randall sent a letter in which he ex-
pressed sympathy with the objects Of the
meeting
The meeting was quite right in insisting
that American citizens should not be i'm
prisoned in British Jails for acts done or
words spoken in America and we presume
the English government Will deny having i'm
prisoned anybody except for offences com
mitted on British soil.

of the party and it is fortunate thing for
the country that the party have, of late, felt
so far confident of political triumph next
fall, as to become less reticent and guarded
in respect to the principles which they really
hold, and which they will most assuredly
put in practice if they are suffered to get
possession of the government at the next
election

TIE PRoCEDURE IN MrEAcnMENT.-Ih
Washington correspondent Of the Providence
Jorndf says
Senator Edmunds' bill in relation to pro-
ceedings in ease of impeachment startles the
conservatives, and takes the breath Of timid
people away. He provides for the suspension
of the President during trial, and hands all
the executive power over to the Chief Jus
ticc of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Edmunds is
on the radical slant this winter. a year ago
his radicaism was under suspicion but he
is now regarded as thoroughly orthodox, even
by the worst radical. His bill will not pass
very soon.
MIR Edmunds' rajicalsIn has never been
in doubt by those who knew him. 1t was
his devotion to liberty, under law, which
governed his action when he was thought
conservative, and which governs it now. He
is a lawyer sound enough To know that free
dom without law is only license, and after
ward anarchy. He wouldn't suspend the
President without law, during q trial for
but he would provide by law
that an official on trial as the highest crimi-
nal, should not, in the meantime. have con-
troll of all the machinery of government
