The Fifteenth Amendment
Ratified and Proclaimed.

"There is a just God who presides
over the destinies of nations" Let
us humbly thank Him that we have
lived to witness this great era in the
history of our country and the world.
The Fifteenth Amendment is duly
ratified and officially proclaimed as
a part of the U. S. Constitution. 1t
was proposed by Congress about the
9th of February of last year; and
Sec'y Fish's official Proclamation
of Ratification is dated the Both ult.
President Grant sent special mes
sageto Congress, in the words fol-
lowing. Honor to the man who ut
ters these noble sentiments-honor
to the party which made him Presi-
dent-honor to the noble American
People, now at last a free people!
TO the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives:
1t is unusual to notify the two
Houses of Congress by message of
the PRONUNCIATION by proclamation Of
the Secretary Of State of the ratitica-
ton of Il constitutional amendment.
In view, however, of the vast
importance Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, this
day declared part Of that revered
instrument, deem departure from
the usual custom justiiiabie. a meas
ure which makes at once four mill
lions Of people voters, who were here
toforc declared by the highest tribu-
nal in the land not citizens Of the
United States, nor eligible to become
so, with the assertion that at the
time Of the declaration Of independ-
ence the opinion was fixed and uni
vereal in the civilized portion of the
white race, and regar led as an axiom
in morals as well as in politics that
the black man had no rights which
white men were bound to respect. is
indeed a measure Of grander import
ance than any other one act Of the
kind from the foundation of our free
government to the present time
Institutions like ours, in which ell
power is derived directly from the
people, must depend mainly upon
their intelligence, patriotism, and in

and if the Townships along the line

as is confidently expected, the Abba,
