The New York Democrat has come in
possession of a circular which is being
sent through the country for signatures,
and advises Democrats to have nothing to
do with it.
1t is but new Radical scheme to de-
stroy every vestfge of the form of gov
eminent as bequeathed us by its trainers.
We have no fears of its succeeding, be-
cause if it did it would lessen the number
of offices, and the desire to hold Office is
chronic with all the Republicans we have
ever known. If it were petition to add
another body to the law making power OF
the nation it would be met with less dis
favor by the the present Congress, for
that they have no respect for the consti-
tuition, as originally framed, has already
been proven by their acts.
Here is the circular:
Every person receiving a copy of this
memorial is requested to circulate it for sig
natures, aud return it signed, to Messrs. AL
len q West, Secretaries of the political

enth street, New York.
THE DEMOCRACY.-i
Memorial No. l.
To abolish the Senate ofthe United States
and transfer the veto power from the Pres
ident to the people, the principle OF popu-
lar sovereignty, as intended by the authors
of the Declaration of Independence.
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States, in Congress assem-
bled:
The undersigned citizens of the United
States, believing that the principle of pop
ular sovereignty euunciated in the Declara-
ton of Independence, was thereafter griev-
ously departed from By the trainers of the
Constitution of the United States, who by
the terms of that instrument conferred abb
solute power upon Congress (subject only to
the veto of the Presidency to ~enact laws,
grant privileges and appropriate public
property without submitting their acts to
the people for ratification;" and believing
also that the corrupt use of this power
threatens the extinghishment of those other
popular rights and liberties confessediy
guaranteed, and to-day menaces the very
life of the nation, do hereby respectfully
request:
First. That measures be at once taken to
amend the Constitution of the United States
SO that the Senate, now elected by the Leg
islatures of the Several States, and neither
er directly or indirectly representing the
people, shall be abolished, and the entire
legislative power confided to the House OF
Representatives. subject only to the veto of
the people. And,
Second, That similar measures may be ia
ken TO amend the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, so that all acts of the National
Legislature (save and except those which
may exclusively relate to the decorous and
efficient transaction of its businessl shall be
absolutely void until the same shall have
been submitted to the citizens of the sever
al States, and duly affirmed by majority
thereof

and interesting supply of domestic labor.

Gen. Ames was before the Reconstruc
ton Committee on the Sd, and stated
that if Mississippi was admitted she
would remain loyal for several years al
least. Why did he not say about five
years: that was what he meant during
his term of Senatorial honors. After
which the State win again need recon
structing, with Adelbert, as military COM
mander, so that he may be again sent to
the Senate. Gen. Ames' statement be-
fore the Reconstruction Committee must
not have substantiated his official report,
as it is telegraphed that the Committee,
with Beast Butler in the chair, immedi-
ately agreed to report a bill admitting
the State.
The reason Of this change in Ames
opinions is very easily explained. With
out the state of affairs that he reported,
Cbut which did not EXIST be would not
have been permitted to elect his mlinions.
Now, without loyalty" in the State,
he would not be permitted to take his
seat. He has story, carpet-bagger like,
to suit all cases.

Three years ago THE CLARION predict
ed that the abolition of distinctions in the
privilege of suffrage on account of color,
was virtually settled question. 1t was
plainly to be seen that the revolution in
augurated by the party in power was
moving irresistibly in that direction; and
that no effort would avail to check it
And so it has occurred. Prophecy has
become stern reality. Negro suffrage is
not only the law of the Southern States,
but also Of the Northern. 1t may ulti-
mately prove whirlwind that will sweep
from power those who have sown it, but
the thing itself is so firmly rooted in the
fundamental law of the Republic that it
will not be taken out.
The Fifteenth Amendment has been
ratified by the requisite number of States.
1t is in these words:
ARTICLE XIV.
Section l. The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
State on account OF race, color, or previous
condition of servitude.
Sec. 2 The Congress shall have power to
enforce this article by appropriate legisla-
ton.
