very or involuntary Servitude except for punishment of crime in the United States That amendment has already re- the ratification of twenty or more doubtless nest winter obtain the requisite three-fourths or and become a part of the law of the land there are other amendments which the future peace and welfare of the Re- public imperatively demand and we hobe to see the next Congress submit all ot them to the States for ratification In the order of importance the Personal Freedom amendment now before the States amendment determining and defining who shall exercise the tive franchise who shall be the ries of National sovereignty who shall constitute the electors of the Republic and securing universal suffrage as nearly as compatible with the Voting is the highest enship yet it is at made to de- pend upon local enactments A citizen of the United States may or vote for President or Congressmen except as the ocal laws of a State shall permit There s no uniformity in the rule of voting by the States On the contrary the thirty-six States prescribe different tests and qualifications To obviate this evil we would propose in substance the amendment to the Constitution born and naturalized male citizens who can read and write and are not paupers nor disfranchised for the of crime shall be electors and to vote months dence in any State at any election No man but a friend of ignorance hould object to the intelligence ion proposed Let those who would be by the reading and writing lause go and buy a spelling book and opy book and take lessons herefrom aside from voting will more ban counterbalance the trouble The man who can't read his ballot and write is name is not fit to be entrusted with the Such a clause would also have tendency to make parents send their to school amendment declaring hat the rebel debt or any part thereof hall never be assumed or paid by the Federal Government or by any of the States nor shall Congress or any State pass any laws or make appropriations to pay any damages received by rebels ring the war nor shall any rebel ever be placed on the pension rolls by reason of wounds or injuries received in the rebel service nor shall any State pension such persons The necessity is very strong for the adoption of such an amendment If the Copperheads and secesh obtain possession of the Government they will doubtless make an attempt to saddle the rebel debt on the Treasury and failing in that they will endeavor to repudiate the Union war debt they will undertake to fasten portions of their debt and damages on such Southern States as they can con- the lasting injury of those States and the discouragement of Northern zens from settling therein Consider the a lobby might exercise over Con- gress if it held a contingent fee in the shape of two or three hundred millions of Confederate bonds conditional on ing the passage of a incorporating the rebel with the Union debt and placing the rebel wounded on oar pension rolls The danger is too great and precautions should be taken in time An amendment to the Constitution would block the game save the people from this peril and render infamous any plot to saddle the rebel es on the country An ounce of tion is worth a pound of cure amendment affirming that the National Sovereignty is in the al Government and its constituents the whole people and not in the State and that the Union is a complete one and indivisible Our soldiers argued this question at the cannon's month and bayonet's point and Calhoun dogma that the National was in the State Governments and might secede at pleasure from the Union Judgment should now be en- tered up in the Constitution thereby king a record of the case that can never be set aside or amendment providing additional for filling the office of President in the event of its by death of the incumbent or otherwise If Mr Johnson should die before the next Congress meets there is no one provided by the Constitution to take his place There is no speaker of the House elected and there is no of the Senate since Mr Johnson became President Mr Foster was only acting as pro tern during the Vice President's indisposition during the executive session after the 4th of March last The Constitution should provide for filling in the Presidential and Vice offices beyond any probable con- Presidency should be ro- to one term and extended to six years by an amendment of the tion By the present provision the first term is usually employed in plotting and scheming to secure a re-election and the immense patronage of the ex- office to that end And the er the patronage becomes the more cor- and dangerous its exercise aud the stronger the temptation to secure a re-election to enjoy its dispensation and the flattery and consequence Four years and without re-election is too short The term should be at least as long as that of a Senatorship to secure proper experience and stability in the fairs of government and as often as the country ought to be put to the expense and turmoil of a Presidential canvass One six year term would secure to ple candidates selected with greater care by party conventions and Presidents freer from personal temptation to corruption or partisanship of a The ident would feel more independent of cliques aud cabals and more at liberty to wield his great office for the good of the whole people and to view affairs from a higher national He should be so circumstanced that ho should have the strongest earthly motives for doing Right and handing down to history a popular and untarnished fame This can best be secured by removing from before him the powerful temptation to intrigue for an extension of his term of office thereby subjecting himself to the control and dictation of rapacious cliques and corrupt factions As the Constitution now reads a President may hold the office a dozen terms if he lives so long and can influence purchase or force his re- nomination and election amendment providing that the inauguration of a President shall be as early as the second Tuesday in ber instead of the 4th of March There is no necessity for an interim of four months between a Presidential election and induction into office Five to six afford abundance of time to return and count the votes in this age of roads and telegraphs The country has seen and experienced the serious mischief which an outgoing administration cun between November 5 and March 4 in the conduct of Buchanan and his inet during the printer of when they fostered protected and the secession of eleven States The present long gap should be reduced to one-third The sooner after an election is held that the new President takes his seat the ter for the country The time for holding the election cannot be fixed much later in the season than now on account of the inclement state of the To con- duct a Presidential canvass in winter and to hold the election in the last of January would subject the people to great Tho better way is therefore to have the inauguration some three months earlier Every intelligent patriotic citizen must and the States ratify them process is exceedingly simple speedy and pensive Can there be any doubt that these amendments in their purifying and salutary effect on the tics administrations and institutions of the country would add
