FOU MALE!
Tht New York We rid Oace
Mare.
We have had on our table for seve
ral days, a copy of the paper which
beads this article, in which is an ed
itorial pointedly directed to the Polit
ical Editor of Th* Sum. This will
be found in foil in another column
of our tone to-day.
We have taken such time to re
spond to the Worlds overture in this
instance, as we thought the great
gravity and high import of the sub
jects required. We now reply in that
tone and spirit in which the World
indicates a disposition to disena the
questions involved.
In the first place, then, we must
gay, that we are not aware that we
have heretofore been either "misty”
or “vague” at all in our marking out
the line which properly separates, in
our opinion, the “dead”trom the “liv
ing issues,” in the great civic straggle
which is to come off in this country
in 1878—those which should be “laid
away in the hortus siccus," and those
whioh should be held up for public
consideration, and proper approval or
condemnation at the polls.
On this point we thought we had
been exceedingly “precise” and “ex
plicit.” It may be that the World
has not seen what we have heretofore
said on that subject, and we, there
fore, now briefly repeat our views up
on it in language so plain that there
can be, as it seems to us, no misun
derstanding in regard to them on the
part of any one of ordinary intellec
tual comprehension.
Our position thus snocintly, but
clearly stated is: that all questions
and matters pertaining to the war,
growing out of secession—its causes,
oonduot, and nrtun! results—from its
commencement to its dose; from the
firing on Fort Sumter to the sur
render of the last Confederate armed
squad; from the accession of South
Carolina to the restoration o* the The usurpations, however, upon
Union, by the resumption of their which these Amendments rest, uud
obligations to it under the Constitu- which marked the beginning of this
tion on the part of the States which ■ asw wnr. were thoroughly revolution-
had attempted to withdraw from it, „ry in their character—boldly, dar-
are not results of the war, either le
gitimate or actual. They are in no
w ay connected with the war or its de
clared objects. They are the result»
of open, palpable and avowed usurpa
tions of power by a majority Fac
tion in Congress since the war—since
the Proclamation of peace—since the
restoration of the Union by the re
sumption of their obligations under
the Constitution on the part of all the
States which attempted to withdraw
—and after the full accomplishment
of every object for which the war,
from its beginning to its end, was
avowedly waged by the Federal au
thorities. There can be no rightful
result of any war beyond the
attainment of the end for which it is
waged, according to all authorities on
the subject, from Aristotle and Cic
ero to Grotius Vattel and Wheaton.
These 14th and 15th Amendments
cun, in no proper sense, be considered
in any way as either legitimate, right
ful or actual results of the war. They
constitute a prominent part in anoth
er and a new war upon the Constitu-
tution, after the ends of the other
were attained, and rest entirely upon
most flagrant usurpations of power,
infinitely more dangerous to the lib
erties of the country than the “Re
bellion” itself, so-called; for secession
after all that may be said against its
rightfulness or policy, left the great
and inestimable right of local self-
government on the part of the Peo
ples of the several States of the
Union, entirely intact and unim
paired, while this new war, of which
these Amendments are some of the
results, thus fur, was commenced, and
is being still waged, against the very
foundation principles upon which all
American free institutions are foun
ded.
Had the seceding States been per
mitted to “depart in peace,” and not
compelled to return, us they were, all
the other States, as well us themselves,
would unquestionably have been quite
as well off as they were at the time
the Union was formed. There would
have lieen no loss to them, or cither
of them, of any of the essential prin
ciples of liberty. The only possible
loss, in this jiarticular, would have
been the greater security for the
maintenance of these principles and
rights, which it was one of. the lend
ing objoots of the Union to establish.
and the claim by them of their recip
rocal and cquul rights in the Federal
Councils—all those questions and
matters, we say, which aro embraced
in these clearly defined limits, should,
in our judgment, as heretofore ex
pressed, l>c “laid away,”and consiguod
to the tomb, never to be alluded to
again as entering, in any way, into
the practical living issues of Federal
politics.
Among these actual results of the
war—whether one of its legitimate
results or not—we include all ques
tions relating to negro slavery or
servitude, as it previously existed in
some of the States of the lie-
cause in point of feet, all these ques
tions were disposed of within the
limits of the period so distinctly de
fined.
The 13th Amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States, by
whioh the previously existing rela
tion between the white and black
races in some of the States was for
ever abolished and prohibited, we
therefore consider no longer a living
issue. It was adopted within the
period staled. \ll the (Stales of the
Union hud a bearing upon it, and an
equal voice upon it on its adoption,
through Constitutional constituen
cies. We, therefore, regard it as
valid; for however reluctantly it may
have been.ratified by tho States which
had attempted to accede, yet it was
ratified by competent authority on
the part of each of them—by a con
stituency in each of them recognised
by the Constitution of the United
Slates; and was so ratified in good
faith by them without the slightest
disposition on their part to disturb
it. It is therefore, in our opinion,
properly classed among the “dead
issues;” not because an attempt to
disturb it would “kindle the whole
country into a conflagration,” but be-
oanse those affected by it have no de
sire or wish to unsettle what they
haw agreed to, “in goodfaith,” as one
of the actual results of the war,
whether a legitimate one or not.—
These are our reasons for considering
the 13th Amendment both valid and
not to la- reversed.
So ninth then f ir tho “dead U-uw."
Now as to those of a living char
acter.
How is it with the 14th and 1
Amendments, sn-cnlled? If we un
derstand the position of the Worhl.
it is that these should be classed it
the same category as the 13th, and
considered among the actual results
of the war, whether legitimately or
rightfoUy so or not; and that con
sistency in- reasoning on our part re
el, ss that we should so accept them.
To this we say, by no means. They
liat-
4
ingly, and confessedly revolutionary
—in tho fundamental principles upon
whioh the whole fabric of our free
institutions was based. This was the
object of these Amendments, aud the
usurpations of which they arc the
offspring. In order to carry out the
object, ten States of the Union were
stricken from the roll of Common
wealths, at the very time tho object
of tho war against secession was ac
complished, iu having them restored
to their “practical relations to the
Union.” Thoir entire populations of
over seven millions of people, with
life, liberty, and property, wore sub
jected to absolute military rule, with
out legal protection or even the recog
nition of any one single civil right
u hati-ver. These ten States were all
II, mi claiming their equal rights in tho
Federal Councils, to which they were
unquestionably entitled, but the right
to be heard upon these Amendments
wag denied them by the majority
Faction in Congress, iu the face and
verj teeth of the Constitution, which
declares that “each State shall hav
at least one Representative” in the
House, “and that no State, without
its consent, shall be deprived of its
equal suffrage iu the Senate.” Nay
more; these usurpations marking the
beginning of this new war upon the
Constitution, ended, not in the ex
pulsion of ten Stutes from the Fed
eral Councils, but extended to the
tuplete revolution of all their State
Governments, respectively, by force
of arms. These Amendments were
never submitted for ratification,
the Constitution provides, to any con
stituency in those States known to
the Constitution of the United States;
ami the ratifications by which they
an' now claimed to be part of the or
ganic law, were carried, as is noto
riously known, by mililary force, and
not by the voluntary action of even
these creatures of the Revolutions so
affected. These ratifications were
not the acts of these States, but the
acts of a majority Faction in Con
gress. And unless the monstrous
doctrine be accepted, that Congress
an mould and sha|tc, change and
modify the Constitution of the Uni-
I States, as uell as the Constitu
tions of the several Males, as they
please, these Amendments, so pro
posed and so carried, can never be
considered valid by any man or peo
ple having any regard for the princi
ples of Public law or Public liberty.
Put, says the World, the usurpa
tions, monstrous at they were, on
whioh these Amendments rest, are all
obsolete—they are defunct—they can
not be repealed, for they no longer
have any force—they have done their
work.
But is their work defunct ? Are
these stupendous frauds, known a*
the 14th and 15th Amendments, obso
lete? Are not these infamous acts
boldly claimed as artual results of the
new war now being wagsA against the
Constitution, the rights of the States,
and the liberties of the people ? They
are, and they, together with the dar
ing usurpations upon which they rest,
constitute living questions, as we
maintain, for public consideration,
and popular condemnation. Can the
fundamental law of the Union he
changed by such acts of violence,
perfidy and wrong ? We say it can
not be. The World, in a late article,
admitted that it ought not to be.
Then why not call upon the people
in their majesty and controlling
power at the polls to declare that it
shall not be ? *
The World seems to think—we re
gret to see—that these Amendments—
the results of these usurpations—
after all, do not amount to muc]
they only secure civil rights,
eluding suffrage, to the black
and as we have no disposition to
tnrb these rights without a fair ti
in our own State, or in any o
State where the people are willinj
award them, why not—it as
these Amendments, with all the us]
pations upon which they rest,
without censure or condemnation ?
Why quarrel with the “ form” when
the “substance” is accepted ? Why
“ waste time over the husks of a ques
tion ufter accepting the kernel ?”
Why not join what it is pleased to
call the Progressive Democracy in a
coepting and sanctioning the whole ?
TJiis is the tenor of the argument,
Now does the World really think
thut “negro suffrage" is the “kerneF
of the 15th Amendment ? Much
lietter would it be for the liberties of
tliis country if that view was correct
We however look upon this as hardly
constituting the “husks." The “ker
nel" is iu depriving the Slates of the
power of regulating this, us other
local questions, each for itself and as
it pleases. This Amendment in its
“ kerneT’ strikes at the very foun
dation on which all our institutions
rest. Its object was, and effect wi
lie, if it sliull ever become an “accom-
piished fact,” to remove the only har
rier heretofore existing against the
Federal Government becoming a cen
tralized Despotism.
Whut right eau any Stutc he suid
to have, if it is deprived of its power
over suffrage ? This is the vital prin-
eiple of all State Rights and State
Powers. It is the removal of this
barrier uud the destruction of this
principle, aimed at by the “kernel”
of the 15th Amendment, which are to
lead to the reduction of the States of
this Union, according to the idea of
Mr. Attorney-General Akerman, to
mere corporations or municipalities,
which shall depend, even for their ex
istence, upon the will of an Imperiul
Dynasty. This is the “kernel” of
the fruit of this worse than Upas
tree. It is the concentrated poison of
the whole, which strikes at the very
heart and every vital fibre of our
whole system of local self-govern
ments. This, as we view it, is fur
from being “nothing hut ordaining
negro suffrage.”
Again, is it true that the “sub
stance'’ of the 14th Amendment is
nothing hut the security of their
civil rights to the black race ? Is the
World in earnest? Is it serious
in thus speaking of this most iniqui
tous usurpation? What! Is a “Bill
of Attainder” in the face of the Uon-
titution, uud without a hearing,
against at least one hundred and fifty
thousand white citizens, including
nearly every one in ten States who
was ever honored with the public con
fidence, from the office of Chief Mag
istrate down to that of Justice of the
Peace, by which they are declared
“disabled” and “disqualified” from
ever hereafter holding any place of
public trust, either in the State or
Federal Government, “nothing but
securing civil rights to the black race.'"
Is the declaration that
one laboring under these “disa
bilities,” except by the gra
cious permission of the usurpers,
shall ever lie qualified to represent
the ]ieoplo in Congress, or serve the
(icople of their States iu any public
capacity, nothing hut securing civil
rights to negroes? Has not the
Constitution declared and fixed the
qualifications of members of Con
gress ? now, then, in the faco am\
teeth of those provisions, doe* the
14th Amendment assume to add to
these qualifications? We maintain
that the attempt to do so by “Bills of
Attainder,” acts of “disabilities." or
test oaths," are as flagitiously crim
inal against the organic taw and the
public liberties of the country, as to
add to or take from the sac nil text,
would lie impiously wicked against
the mandates of the Most High ?
Are not these now living practical
facts ? Are we moving in “the wrial
region and cloudland of vague decla
mation,” in thus characterizing some
of the hideous features of this so-
called 14th Amendment ? Are these
monstrous acts nothing but shadows?
most sad aud pernicious seaHtiea to be'
met, considered and condemned by
the people, if the liberties of this
country are to be praaertred? We as-
sure the World, in all earnestness, that
we so consider them. Not only so, but
we look upon them as among the
most practical and live issues bow to
be presented to the people of the
United States.
Nor are we, in assailing them, engag
ed in any inch ridiculous adventnre as
Don Quixots in his charge npon the
wind-mills, nnless the people of these
States are ripe for Despotism. Nor
are we engaged in any snch fantastic
political comedy as that of calling
upon, the people to repeal the nnoon-
stitntional Reconstruction Acts, or
anything founded npon them. Un
constitutional acts, and everything
that rests npon them, are not lawa.—
They are nothing bnt nullities. So
Mr. Jefferson and the Democracy in
1800 declared the Alien and Sedition
usurpation were gotten rid of, not
by repeal, but by eleoting men
to office who held them to be as they
were, not valid laws, bnt nullities.—
These Acts still remain npon the
statute book as a monument and re
cord of the iniquity of their authors,
and as a beacon to guide posterity for
all time to come, how to get rid of
all like usurpations.
If the Editors of the World wish to
know how we propose to deal with
these fraudulent Amendments, we
say to them that we propose to deal
with them just as Mr. Jefferson and
the Democracy of 1800 dealt with the
