SENATOR WALLACE's declaration that
there is no such person as a national voter
is bit OF Bourbon sophistry, the acceptance
Of which as n legal fact would beequiyalcnt
to practical qualification Of the fourteenth

these amendments large class of voters were
added to the sutiingers ',of the county by
virtue of national authority. The States
certainly did not confer the right of suffrage
upon this class, for they simply ratified the
act of the General Government From
where, then, if not from national authority,
do these voters derive their right of suffrage .
But this is a question regarding which
the best of men may differ, and the only
trouble is that in the hands of such sophsts

ing has Of late become so frequent and bold
that the senses are shocked, and no one feels,
when they deposit the last mortal remains OF
the loved one in their linal resting place. that
the tomb will not be desectatcd before the
mouruers have returned to their desolated
homes, would it not be well for the interest
Of society and to the benefit of the resurrec-
ton fiends, If our judicial sOlons would resur-
ect from the tomb an old law that fits their
case, which reads as follows If any person or
persons shall take up any dead man, woman,
on child, out Of his, her, or their grave, or any
other place where the dead body resteth, or
the skin, bones, or any part Of n dead person, 1t
is felony. That then every such offender or
Offenders, their aiders, abettors, and counsel.
lors, being of ny the said offences duly and
lawfully convicted and attainted, shall suffer
pains of death, as felOn or lelons, and shall
lose the privilege and bonift of clcrgie. Re-
