The Beeinning Of the End.
Mr.. Bou1wlLL- of Massachusetts,, has re-
ported from the House Judiciary commit
tee q const tutional amendment providing
that the right of any citizen Of the United
States to vote shall not be denied OF
abridged 10 any way except for criaie, and
extending the privileges OF the ballo5
box to all persons, reg sardless OF color. Il
the bill were titled In plain English IT
would read thus: IAN act TO force upon
each and all of the sovereign States IN the
Exderal Uuien the 81 stem of negro suffrage,
regardless ofthe wishes ofthe people there
of.''
Mr.. boutwell, announces that he will
call up his bill again some time Dext week,
when, we presune, It will be bri, fly de-
bated and driven through the House under
tie party lash. The Senate concurrine
therein, it will then be ready to oe for
warded to the several Legislatures Of the
States, and by them be adopted or .jected
If two-thiris of the States adopt it, the
amendment becomes portion of the or
ganfc law of the land under which we shall
live hereafter.
Every State, with one or two insignifi-
cant exceptions, where the question has
been fairly submitted to the people, has re-
pudiated this doctrine by overwhelming
msjorities |; bub this has seemingly only had
the effect to stimulate the fanatics and fools
engaged in the African cause, and urge
them to renewed efforts and fercer zeal.
Abandoning all hopes OF gaining their end
taroueh the popular voice. they have now
luxged Sambo upon the door of Congress.
and there they intend to keep him until
bleached into citizenship ndthe last"right"
bestowed on our sable brother. White
men, with all the vast interests COM
mitted to them, with all their needs and
their imperative demands, must stand in
the background while this delectable bust
ness is going on. Entreaty, expostulation,
argument, are alike wasted upon the party
whose stock Ia trsde is the negro. and who
are naturally desirous toincrease the price
and desirability of their Goods. If there is
no other method to escape from the dark
dilemma, let Congress catch the people by
the throat, and With the assistance of OBJ
sequious State Legi lstures, make them
sHallow the dose1 In spite of their re-
