sentation in Congress, that recently passed
the House of Representatives by vote Of
los yeas to i5 nays, provides that tie said
States ''shall be entitled and admitted to
representation in Congress, as States Of tine
Union upon the following fundamental con-
dtions:
"That the constitutions of said States
shall never be amended or changed so as to
discriminate in favor of, or against any citi-
zen or class of citizens of the United States
in their right to vote, who are now entitled
to vote by said constitutions respectively"
The right and power Of Congress to con-
troll the question of suffrage in the estates
of the Union" il seems to me is fully i'm
implied in the terms of this actor IL Con
gress has the authority to restrict and thereby
virtually control the question of suffrage in
the States to be admitted, the same authority
necessarily carries with it the right to con-
troll it in the States now in the Union.
The support given to this measure by the
Republicans in the House, may be justly
regarded as an indication of their views on
this important subject. refer to it now
merely for the purpose of showing that the

BEN WADE.

There may have been some Republicans
who were afraid that Ben Wade would not
get SO many votes as some other candidate
for the Vice Presidency, but there was not
one at Chicago, or elsewhere, who did not
concede TO him perfect reliability, steady
adherence to principle, and the purest, firm
est devotion 10 what he believed to be the
best interests of his country. As one Of his
friends from Ohio said, ben Wade is man
of oak, and however some might question
his availability, none dared doubt his patri-
Otto soundness.
Ben Wade was the son Of poverty and has
worked his way up tohigh position by the
force of his character and the sterling excel
lence Of his principles. Ohio has had his
services in the Senate Of the Republic for
| twelve years. In all that time there has
never been an instance where he faltcrcd,
never moment when he did not speak and
vote openly, resolutely. and steadily, for the
success Of tie principles which he has
always protested.

THE DUTY or RA DiCiL EEIt'HLf6t Ms.
1t is apparent to us that the language nl
the second Chicago resolution is greatly dis
tasteful to at least twenty per cent III TIL
Republicans throughout the North There
is general feeling that it leaves ursnd that
which they hoped to hear, willie il AYERS pre-

many OF the warm, earnest, enthusiastic Re
pubicans Of Pennsylvania, who feel their
ardor checked and courage dampened BY
the adoption Of this rotton plank
But we trust, as we hclieye, that while
they will either tacitly Or openly rcpuliate
this resolution, and stand ~ the legislation
OF Congress, which is precisely opposite in
character, the Radical Republicans have no
other purpose than to earnestly endorse and
vote for GRANT and CoIFAX. While it is
always shameful for great party to he IN

honesty in the slightest respect, it is tht
