The Thirteenth Amendment.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
To the mind of the writer, there seems to
be a great deal of unnecessary agitation in
certain quarters about the proposed repeal
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
of the federal Constitution in order to re-
store the negro to his "divnely appointed
position in the human family.
Why not shorten the process and come d.
rectly to the point by repeating the thir-
teenth amendment? That would greatly
simplify the matter and carry the other
two amendments with it, thus settling the
whole business at once, and more satisfac-
torily fulfilling the divine purpose" the
Jeffersonian Declaration Of Independence"
20 the contrary Notwithstanding.
Indeed, why not repeal that old and OBJ
solete instrument at the same time, and
thus put ourselves in full accord with the
aforesaid divine purpose" in the premises?
If the negro. as proposed, is to be de-
prived of every right and privilege of a
free" and loyal citizen of the country,
simply because of his color-for which he
is not responsble-then his normal condi-
ton in slavery were far more comfortable
and safe than a condition of so-called free
DOM" under which he is to be denied the
protection of life. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness under the law which he is to
obey.
If therefore, any war amendment" to
the Constitution is to be repealed" rather
than enforced, let it be the thirteenth
