THE FLICK AMENDMENT.

1t is claimed, he said 10y its advo-
Gates, that the Flick Amendment,
which owes its origin 10 the Fifteenth
Amendment, and is Radical trick to
cover over their past conduct and excuse
them before the people in the approach
ing election, is the only speedy and eff
fectual method of enfranchising the dis
franchised. Let us see how this Is.
But before proceeding with that IN
inquiry, let Ills stop to inquire first into
the measure itself and what An eli
dorscment of it means.
The amendment proposed strikes ont
the word white in Section lst OF the Ill:
Article of our State constitution and
also the latter clause OF the section, or
what is known as the DISTINGUISHING
amendment. If ! am right IN my
argument rs to the Fifteenth Amend
ment, is it not an absolute nudity and a
usurpation that ought to receive no &C
tive support or encouragement from the
friends of constitutional liberty and

Canadian Annexation.

A call for 3 convention TO consider
measures for the annexation of Can
ada TO the United States, to be held
at Niagara Falls on the 4th of July
next, has appeared in the prominent
journals of the country. 1t is signed
by A. i. Wilson, of Washington
Louis Montague, of Quebec and c.
s. Donaldson, of Toronto,-who pur.
port to DO president, vice president
and secretary of the Canadian An
nexation Society" They invite the
presence of one delegate from each
100, 900 inhabitants ofthe British Pro.
vinces.
The call sets forth. That the wis.,
dom of the thirteen colonies, in sep.
arating from the mother country
nearly one hundred years ago, has
been many times abundantly estab-
lished, they having grown to thirty
eight powerful states and now ex-
tending in strength from the Lakes
to the Gulf and from ocean to ocean,
while the advancement of the people
has been unequaled that large ma
jOrity of the people of the United
States and Canada have been and are
in favor of annexation that the best
interests of all nations and all people
will be subserved by the union of the
two Countries.
All hail the decisive movement
sought by the convention. Though
our domain be large, we have room
for "all that joins u.s." and the Can
adas will make good sporting grounds
for Young America.-RichLdnd Co.
