Curious Scene in a Rev Orleans

the witness will kiss the book. Butthi

the magistrate.

of the Court, and surprised beyond

judge.

the magistrate. But the darlSey enjoyed
the luxury, and the embrace was re-
newed with unotion.

the Court, while the loud shouts of the

his experience in corroboration of the

In the Republican platform, adopted
at Chicago in 1868, it is stipulated that
q The question of suffrage in all the
loyal states properly belongs to the peo-
pie Of those States. y This was one of
the cardinal principles on which Gen.
Grant was elected, and the lease Of
power to the Republican party renewed.
1t was a solemn pledge given to the
people, on which their votes were ask
ed. After securing success by such
means, one Of the. frs. acts Of the par
ty, was to use its whole power to vio-
late. this pledge, and to take from the
people Of the loyal States the ques-
ton of suffrage which properly belongs
to them.
The XVth Amendment which was
introduced into Congress at its first ses-
sion after the election, deprives the
STATES of all authority on the qgestfsn
o! suffrage, and throws. open the B:slfot
box, eve y where, to the votes of all
the races of mankind. Had not the
pledge been given, and had the secret
purpose to take from the people of the
States. this vital right been known, the
Republican party would have been de-
feated. They owe their success to per
fdy, aggravated by the frauds, violence
and injustice with which they are striv-
ing to carry it into execution.
Congress. not satisfied with the pal
pable violation of the covenant with the
people, in proposing the Amendment
in the usual manner have annexed a
compulsory provision, applicableto Vir-
ginia, Mississippi and Texas, by which
these States are to be excluded from the
Union until they ratify it.
Party machinery has been called In
to requisition in all quarters, to pre-
vent the people from giving an exTres-
sion on the subject, and to effect khis
change in our system of governmf fnt
so revolutionary in its character, in q
manner and by means contrary to the
majority principle, and subversiye O
the spirit of the constitution.
Legislatures have gone through with
the form of raifying, which were elec
ted in the campaign of 1868, stan ding
with their party upon the Chfagc
pledge other Legislatures, in s ate
ruled by the bayonet, where tkS intelli
gent citizens. were outlaweb kve alst
mocked the forms of ratification.
Take in the whole history Of thispro
ceeding, and from beginning to eid, i
; is blackened by the most disgracefu de
ception and villainy.
r What right had the last Pennaylya

: that '' the question Of suffrage belong

au Amendment depriving their constit
