Kentucky Politico.
We call the special attention of our
readers to-day, to au extract from the
Tory able speech of Judge Craddock,
of Kentucky, upon the 14th and 15th
Amendments (no-called) to the Con
stitution of the United States. It
will be found in another column un
der the title which heads (Iris article.
It will well repay a careful perusal on
the part of any one who is in search
of the truth and the right
The whole question touching the
validity or invalidity of those so-
called Amendments, Judge Crad
dock clearly shows, depends upon the
fad whether they were regularly pro
posed to the States, and properly rati
fied by the requisite nnmbor of States,
as required by the Constitution,
It all turns upon this matter of
fad. If they were proposed and
adopted in the mode and manner,
aud “by the authority constitution
ally appointed,” then they aro valid
—not only defacto but dejure parte
of the fundamental law; but if they
were not—if they were proposed by
a minority Faction in Congress, with
the denial of the right of ten States
to be heard upon the question of
their proposal, and if, after ihut, their
ratification in those ten States was
carried by “brute force," thon they
are utterly void and of no effect.
Judge Craddock’s reasoning upon
this subject is unanswerable, llis
position also, that this matter of fact,
cannot be decided or adjudged by the
Secretary of State, or the President,
or Congress, or all them combined,
is equally conclusive. Inquiry into this
matter of fact in any Judicial pro
ceeding that may be instituted in any
case arising under them, or either of
them, cnhndt bo precluded by any
statement by the Secretary of State,
or Proclamation of the President, or
Itesolntion of Congress, for none of
these officials have any rightful pow
er to decide aud pass judgment in
this way, upon this subject.
The people of England, in the days
of the Stnarta, were taught by the
llourbons of those times, that “Royal
Proclamations” were not laws. This
great truth the people of the United
States received from their ancestors,
and will not appreciate it tho less
highly lieeanso it is advocated by the
so-called llourbons of this day.
A. II. 8.
Kentucky Politics.
Extract from a voiy able epoch
made by Judge G. W. Craddock, in
Fruukfonl, Ky., 3d July, 1871, upon
the validity of tho 14th and 15th
Amendments (so-called) to the Con
ntitation of the United States.
The Constitution of Government
is of higher dignity than a stal uto; it
is fundamental, and is not within
the power of the legislative, or any
other department, or functionary cre
ated by ft. And whilst it is made
subject to amendment, it can only be
amended by the same authority which
originally ordained and established
it, to-wit, the peoplo of the respective
States, acting as separate sovereign
communities. The fifth article pro
vides that
PROPOSITIONS OK A MEN DM EXT
can only be made by Congress, when
two-thirds of both houses shall deem
it necessary, or by a convention culled
upon the application of two-tliirds of
the soveral States for proposing
amendments, which, in either case,
shall be binding only when ratified
by the Legislatures of three-fourths
of the several States, or by conven
tions in three-fourths thereof.
Thus it will bo seen that the only
agency which Congress can exercise
in the process of amending tho Con
stitution consists simply the submis
sion of propositions of amendment
to the States. To do which tho Con
stitution requires the concurrence of
two-third* of both houses of Cou-
grees.
There is uothing in the fifth article,
nor any other portion of the Consti
tution, authorising Congress, or any
other de}iartment of the Federal Gov
ernment, to determine authoritatively
and finally whether propositions of
amendment have been properly sub
mitted, nor whether they have been
ratified by throe-fourths of the sev
eral States. Certainly no mere po
litical party has such authority.
THK LANGrAON OP THE CONSTITU
TION
is, that propositions of amendment
shall be finding only when ratified by
the Legislatures of three-fourths of
the several States, or by conventions
in three-fourths thereof. The Radi
cals allture that three-fourths of the
several States have retified tho Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments.
The Democratic party deny the truth
of the allegation, ana thus arises an
issue ef fact, an important foot, a foot
involving the reserved rights of the
States as well as of the people. Is it
possible that there is no tribunal in
question ? Whence do s the Secreta
ry of State derive such power and
authority ? Not from the Constitu
tion, ns must be admitted by all who
will examine, nor from the nature of
the duties of his office, nor from the
Executive, but, as is alleged, he is
clothed with the high aud responsible
authority by an uct of Congress.
WHAT AUTHORITY HAS CONGRESS
to determine tbe question or to au
thorize anybody else to do so ? None
can lie found in tlio Constitution. It
is not a subject within the scope of
the legislative powers and duties of
Congress. It can do nothing more
than to submit propositions of
amendment to the States. When that
has been done, tbe subject is wholly
and entirely within the control unit
under the management of the respec
tive States, who, in the exercise of
the same right by which they bail
originally ordained and established
the Federal Government, may alter
its Constitution so os to make it more
conducive to the happiness and pros
perity of the people.
But nothing can be more clear
than that amendments which have
not been ratified by three fourths of
the several States are not binding.
It follows, therefore, that unless the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments hnvc been so ratified they
are not parts of tho Constitution,
although both the Radical and
Democratic parties, in their respec
tive platforms, may so declare them
to be.
No one can fail to see the glaring
absurdity of tbe proposition that, ad
mitting the amendments under con
sideration were procured by force and
iVaml, and were not in fact ratified by
the three-fourths of the States left
free to act according to their best
judgment upon the subject, neverthe
less, they cun he tacked on to the
Constitution by a compromise be
tween two political parties, or by
the ratification of the Democratic
party.
Those who favor what is termed
THE “NEW DEPARTURE 1
all concede that said amendments
were procured by force and fraud, and
not in accordance with the fifth arti
cle of the Constitution, and therefore
not binding, as tho letter of the urti
cle itself declares, still they propose
to put the whole question at rest by
ratifying them ana thereby making
them binding. 'J'hiB is au uuconsti-
tutionul mode of amending the Con
stitution. They say that they are de
facto parts of tbe Constitution, and
they now propose to make them de
jure by the ratification of tho Demo
cratic party. They propose to accept
that which was accomplished by force
and fraud as legal and binding' IIow
much worso are they who perpetuate
a fraud, or who carry measures by
brute force, than those who volunta
rily ratify and confirm ?
To submit to thut which we can
not escape or avoid is neither coward
ly nor mean, but to approve and rati
fy voluntarily a groat wrong is un
worthy of bravo aud honest men. No
party can maintain self-respect, nor
secure the confidence and support of
the people, which acts upon such a
policy. If tho Democratic party
abandons its principles and becomes
the
MERE CAMP FOLLOWERS OK THE RAD
ICALS,
it might as well prepare for its disso
lution. It is no longer of any service
to tho country. We are commanded
by tho New Departure gentlemen to
right-shoulder shift—march into tho
abandoned camps of the Radicals,
and feast on the offal of our progres
sive adversary. I do not like the
manoeuvre, aud I certainly am not
tempted by the promised feast. If it
be sjioils and plunder which gentle
men arc after, then why not go with
the party that deals in those articles.
The Democratic i>arty never was, and
oortainly is not now, a good place to
conduct a traffic in that business.
But I am told that
THE NORTHERN WING OF THE PARTY
favor tho “New Departure,” and that
wo of Kentucky will ho left out in
the cold. That may be so. We shall
see. I have confidence in the patriot
ism, prudence, mid good souse of tho
party, and I have no fears but that
when it assembles in National Con
vention it will act in such a way as
to preserve its principles, honor, and
dignity, and promote tho prosperity
and happiness of the country. And
not only so, it will nominate a Dem
ocrat of unquestioned integrity and
of undoubted allegiance to the priuci
pies of Democracy, as our standard-
bearer in the Presidential contest. A
victory gained under such circum
stances would be substantial. It
would be a triumph of principle and
not a mere change of spoilsmen. It
would give peace and quiet to the
country, und relievo the public mind
from that constant anxiety in regard
to the future which is now felt by all
reflecting men.
With such a standard-bearer there
would be a departure; a departure of
the Goths and Vandals from the Fed
eral Capital; a departure of vam
pires from tho Treasury, and of
venal aud corrupt officials from high
places.
But I am asked
WHAT I PROPOSE TO IN) WITH THE
AMENDMENTS.
I have already said that the amend
ments must stand or fall upon the
q«estion whether they have been pro
posed and ratified as required by the
fifth articlo of the Constitution. If
they have not been so proposed and
ratified, then they are not binding.
I use the language’ of the article it
self, “they are not biudiug.” Not
binding on the States ; not binding
the functionaries of cither the
which this important question can b<| State or Federal Government; not
examined and authoritatively acttledl binding on tbe people, or tuiy one
I* it true that the States, as separate
political corporation*, or that, the peo
ple of the States have no remedy, no
right to inquire into the truth of tho
facte upon which these amendments
are declared to have been ratified ? Is
it true that the announcement by the
BecreUry of State to the effeet that
three-fourth* of the several States
have ratified, is conclusive of the
of the'people. They are void ; not
voidable, but void. But if they
have been proposed and ratified as
required by the fifth article afore
said, then they are binding, and os
much so as any other parte of the
Constitution, I am one who believes
they were not proposed nor ratified
pursuant to the requirements of the
fifth article, aud in this I have the
concurrence of the whole Democratic
party—the New Departure men and
all—as well as a large portion of tbe
Radical party; ana so believing, 1
am not willing to stultify myselr by
admitting that they are binding as
parts of the Constitution. I am not
willing to forestall an examination of
the question, even if it could be done,
by resolutions or platforms. I am
for leaving it open freely to lie inves
tigated by any tribunal having com
petent jurisdiction of the subject. I
do not propose to set on foot any
lawless or revolutionary modes of re
sistance to the enforcement of the
amendments.
That there are peaceable and legal
modes of determining the question
can scarcely be doubted. It seems to
me that this is
THE TRUE POSITION Poll THE DEMOC
RACY
to occupy. It is consistent with their
former views, and avoids the humilia
tion of the “ New Departure,” which
is u surrender of the whole subject to
Radical usurpation and revolution.—
It iB said, however, thut the Radical
party will continue to enforce, ns it is
now doing, the amendments, and that
it is useless any longer to think of
resistance, or of corrections. That is
a desponding, not to say a cowardly,
view of the subject. 8o long us the
Radicals continue in the possession
of the Government, they will not hes
itate to do anything to perpetuate
their power. They have already tak
en away the jurisdiction of the Su
preme Court to decide upon tho Con
stitutionality of the reconstruction
measures, but this can and will be
restored. I have great confidence in
the sober second thought of the peo
ple. It wus by brute force that the
amendments were carried through
the forms of ratification, and it is by
like force that they are being execu
ted. Submission is the only alterna
tive in tho presence of a superior
force. It is the alternative of the
man, who, with a cocked pistol at his
head, is required to surrender his
purse. But it does not follow that
the man robbed shall not only part
with liis money, hut afterwards vol
unturily ratify the robbery. This is,
however, what the New Departure
men substantially propose to do.
But I am regarded us a Bourbon,
and am denounced us an old fogy. I
am accused of having formed my
ideas of the Constitution and of the
philosophy of the Government from
the teachings of Jefferson, Madison,
Jackson, Chief Justico Marshall and
Clay. 1 am suspected of having read
in the Federalist and the debates in
the convention which formed the
Constitution of tho United States.
Well,
I MIGHT AS WELL OWN UP.
In my young days I was a Clay man.
1 followed the fortunes of that great
chieftain, until lie succumbed to the
common enemy uml went to his rest.
1 heard him disband the Whig party,
that noble old party of which lie was
the accepted champion. It was liis
tliauatopsis. 1 will not say that he
was inspired, but 1 will say that he
seemed to look into the future as if
he hud taken counsel with something
higher than reason.
I bccamo a Democrat because the
party was national, not sectional, be
cause it held and tuuglit the true
theory of the Government; because
it acknowledged the dual nature of
our system, and insisted upon keeping
the Htate and Federal Governments
within their respective orbits. They
never could have collided if the Dem
ocratic theory had been adhered to.
But if (he noble old party is to be
stripped of its principles, and is to
become a more organized contestant
for the spoils; if it is to ho disman
tled of everything hut its name, I
don’t know what 1 uni. If
CUNNING IS TO TAKE THE PLACE OF
STATESMANSHIP,
and principles are to he made to yield
to party policy; if Constitutions arc
to fie placed upon the footing of a
mere statute, subject to be suspended
at the pleasure of a dominant party,
or to be amended by forcing a com
pliance with tho forms of amendment
by the uso of the bayonet; if parties are
no longer to be the exponents of great
political principles, but to become
mere organized rings to appropriate
the offices and treasures of the nation
to the use and benefit of its own
members, then, indeed, it seems to
me, that so far as the people are con
cerned, it matters but little what par
ty may control.
’ I stand here to-day us one of the
humblest of Democrats to maintiun
tho honor and integrity of the Dem
ocratic party. I protest against the
attempt to humiliate it by assigning
to it a position in the rear of the Rad
ical party, following iu its line of
march, ami subsisting upon the
crumbs and offal of (ho abandoned
Radical camp. But if this must be
its fate, if this is the position assigned
to it in its old ago, then I ask but
one other favor, and that is that the
names of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
und Jnckson, be blotted from its
chronicles, and that it be rebaptised
us the party of the “Now Departure.”
