The Constitutional Amendment,
1t is rumored that when the General
Assembly Of this State shall be convened,
it will be convened only for the purpose
of adopting or rejecting what is known
as the Constitutional. Amendment that
XIV Article which the Radical Congress
designs to cngraft upon the Constitution
of the United States, through its accep-
tance by the conquered Southern States.
It's adoption by five of these States, we
believe, will constitute the amendment
provision of the Constitution. For the
benefit of the Democratic members of the
General Assembly which will soon con-
venc, here, or elsewhere, VIC re-pubish
the odous amendment, trusting that
when they are called upon to cast their
votes, not one of them wllrespond in the
affirmative. Let. them leave 1.-THE adoption
of the oiious article TO tho radical majorI-
tv which is claimcd 10 be elected in both
branches of the General Assembly, Stain
not their own names by giving their as
sent to il. 'Ts radical work, and Only
fit for black and white radicals; let them
do it.! Let the responsibility, as well as
the infamy, rest upon thom The follow
ing is the proposed
