FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Notwithstanding that great matters of hi,
tionul concern are treated with levity, the nd
uimistrution Of General Grant has been as
siduousIy cndenvorirg to work what is practi.
cally Il revolution in the most important e;c
ment-the Constitution of our Government.
| mean the suffrage by the fifteenth amend
ment They atte'upt. in the first place to
take from the penpe of the STATES that cun.
troll oi the suffrage which they have in,mculo
rally exercised. Of saying who shall vote with
in thuse States, and transfer that question to

ton laws, $4,000 Chinese may be brou.h
into the State Of New York and undc voters
without the consent. and. in fact, against the
will Of the people of the State Of New York
They are creating state Of the law 10 which,
without any chunye in the naturalization laws
100000 liberated African slaves can come
within this State and become voters against
the will of the people Of this State. Now
gentlemen, let me not be told tha6s 500 900
Chinese will not conc or tl.at 500 900 Afri-

such state of the .,.w is gro I'D 1t has 20
effect, no practic purpose; it has no utility
If it is going int effect practically to the ex
tent of its operation. it will he not only a Ger.
tninty. but crime against the people of this
S.ntc and every other State against whom the
measure may be enforced This is not ALL
In the second place, the measure transfers all
control from the people Of tho State. AT

suffrage laws in, State You can only change
