Hostility to that section of the Con-
stitution which inhibits a foreign-born
citizen from holding the Office Of
President OF the United States is no
new thing. It is as old as the Consti-
tuition itself, for the debates in the Con-
vention develop the fact that many of
our revolutionary fathers could not
give their consent to prescribe tie
foreigner whose blood had crimsoned
every battle field. In 1856, pending
the Presidential election, the disabili-
ties imposed on the foreigner were
again denounced. In February last,
the APPEAL demanded an amend
ment to the Constitution renewing
these disabilities, and two months
ago, in an srticle Of a columns length,
we again alluded 10 the shackles
imposed on Sehurz and Casserly.

sire to see the Constitution freed from
a clause which is an insult to every
foreigner, and especially to those who

OUR colored feIiow-citizens have
been sorely perplexed in selecting a
proper day for celebration as the an
niversary of their enfranchisement.
There was Lincein's preliminary
proclamation that of the lrst of jan
uary, 1863, contemplating a system Of
gradual emancipation; the decree es-
tablishing freedom and the countless
blessings that have followed, in the
District OF Columbia; the Thirteenth
amendment, abolishing slavery; the
Fifteenth, comforting the franchise,
and many other memorable epoehs
following each other 80 rapidly that
the Sons Of Ham and clear sides found
it difficult, in their recent grand pow
WOW in st. Louis, to fix days to be
observed each year as occasions of
jigs, breakdowns. bonfires and illumi-
nations. It was finally agreed that
the first of January and the fourth OF
July should be observed, and that
then all the joys of the happy race
should be illustrated In banquets, pro-
eessions and orations. When the sun
sets hereafter on these memorable
days, American Africa will dance and
be happy, and II the eolored al al
ways proves worthy Of the boon of
freedom, the whole country will share
its delights, and be blest in these
African anniversaries.
