THEY WOULD DIsFRANCHIsE LOUISIANA.

THEY WOULD D1SFRANCH1SE LOUISIANA
The purpose of the Democracy to re-
strict, and even to repeal the right Of
suffrage in the colored people, has been sc
repeatedly demonstrated and avowed,
that We shall assume it to be the policy
Of the national Democracy to repeal negro
suffrage.
Fortunately for the negro, those who
amended the federal constitution have
dropped an anchor to windward. If,
therefore, the law of suffrage should drag,
the sacred right will bring mp on hold
ing ground. from which no political
storm can drive it. We hope we have
come out all right on this highly nautical
figure.
This anchor of right ''all sure and
steadfast," may be found in the second
paragraph of amendment fourteen of the
federal constitution:
But when the right to vote at any cleo.
ton for the choice of any federal or State
officers or representatives is denied to anv
twenty-one years of age and citizens of the
United States. or in any way abridged
Except for participation in rebellion or
other crime the basis nfrepresentatiou therein,
shall be reduced in The proportion rltich the
number of such male citi-ens shall be TO the
,rhoIe number Of male citizens tcenty one
gears of age IN each State.
Amendment fifteen forbids the denial
Or abridgment of the right Of any citizen
of the United States ''on account of race,
color, or previous condition of servitude.'
There are then three specified conditions
other than those of crime, which the
Democratic party can not violate. But
how would it be possible to specify all the
conditions which may be imposed other
than those specified? The qualifications
of property, Of taxation, of scholarship,
may be prescribed, and may prohibit
greater number of negroes than of whites.
A rule Of disqualification might be de-
vised which would virtually nullify the en-
tire negro vote. Is it to be supposed that
the Democratic brain will not be stimu-
lated to its most exalted action to carry
out this primary canon of its creed? But
when the object of negro exclusion shall
have been accomplished, the sheet and
stream anchor of amendment fourteen
checks the drift and brings the vessel with
her precious freight right up, head to
wind. If the Democratic opponents Of
free suffrage deny OF abridge the right Of
any male citizen to vote, then the repre-

that such. persons should oppose all move.
