provisions Of Art. MI OF that instru
mcnt in which is plainly prescribe
the manner in which Il may be amend
ed, would he revolution, downright
and simple. The clause in the Bill
Of Rights by which they Justify thi
high.handed movement il nothing
more nor less than a declaration o
the right Of revolution, and was 10
serted for that purpose aud none 9th
er whatever. To pretend that tha
declaration was intended by the fran
ers Of the Constitution as a reserva
ton Of the right on the part Of a mi
nority Of the voters of the Stale, when
ever they desire to alter It, in fact, i
to suppose that they had no sense. i
is as absurd to claim the po' er Il
amend the Constitution under thai
declaration alone as il would hav,
been for the authors Of it to have add
ed TO Section 1. Of that Article the
words "Or the people may alter,
reform or abolish this Constitution al
any time or in any manner they please,
for they have an inalienable and in.
defeasible right to do so. d" Such Is
in effect the power now claimed by
the revolutionists. In other words;
their construction Of the instrument
makes the trainers Of it stultify them
selves by explicitly and pariiclarly
presenting the mode of its amendment
in one section and in another author.
izing a contempiuous disregard and
notification Of that section. What
statesmen these revolutionists are
TuE authorities of Brooklyn have
passed an ordinance requiring all Chi
nese laundrymen to pay license Of

uralized citizens of the United States.
Such prescription should not he allow
ed in the free country Of which We
boast. There is no Justice in making
a Chinaman pay more for his rights
here than the people of our own or
any other nation. II this be free
country, let it be so to the Chinese as
well as the German, but limit the inn
migration Of the former il possible.
ASUMBEE of capitalists have bought
stock in the Kentucky Central Il. Il.

They first intend to extend it to Win

with the Chesapeake Il Ohio, and
bring the business of that road call
