‘ dark page in the category of infamy. The
“God anil morality” party of Alabama (ille-

Their names are on file and daily exhibited to

News and Clayton Banner, under the heading
of “ Roll of Infamv.”
Many amusing incidents occurred during
' the “five days farce” at the Eufaula precinct,

they could not possibly be prevailed upon by
the “strickly roil” of that section to wait pa

power. Already the frigid voice is want to
speak from the fields of the old Granite State.
She’ll mingle her breath with your own, though
it breathes of war itself. Stalwart sons are on
position to alter the fundamental law to which
all the States have consented has been ratified
by such number of the States as by the Fed
eral Constitution makes it binding upon ail,
any person that has assented is at liberty to
withdraw that assent, and it becomes its duty
to do so when, upon mature consideration, such
with' rawal seems to be necessary to the safety
and happiness of all. Prudence dictates that
a consent once given should not be recalled
for light and transient causes ; but the right
is a natural riclit, the exercise of wl ich is
accompanied with no injustice to any of the
parties: it has, therefore, been universally
recognized is inherent in every party, and has
ever been left unimpaired by any po; tive reg
ulation.
The said proposed amendment not having
yet received the assent of the three-fourths of
the States which is necessary to make it valid,
the natural arid constitutional right of this
State to withdraw its assent is undeniable.
With these irapre.-sions, and with a solemn
appeal to tin Searcher of ail hearts for the pu-
rity of our tutrntions, and under the convic
tion that the origin and objects of said pro
posed amendment were unseemly aud unjust,
and that the necessary result of its adoption
must be the disturbance of the harmony if not
the the destruction of our system ot self-gov
ernment, and that it is our duty to ourselves
and our sister States to expose the same, do
further declare
That, it being necessary, by the Constitution,
that every amendment to the same should be
proposed by two-thirds of both Houses of
Congress, the authors of the said proposition,
for the purpose of securing the assent of the
requisite majority, determined to and did ex
clude from the said two Houses at least sev
enty representatives from ten States of the
Union upon the pretence that there \vere%no
such States in the Union; but finding that
two-thirds of the remainder of said Houses
could not be brought to assent to the said pro
position, they deliberately formed and carried j
out the design of mutilating the integrity of
the United States Senate; and without, any
pretext or justification oilier than the posses
sion of the power, without the right, and in
palpable violation of the Constitution, ejected
a member of their own body representing bis
State, and thus practically denied to New Jer
sey its equal suffrage in the Senate, and there
by nominally securing the vote of two thirds
of said House.
The object of dismembering the highest rep
resentative assembly in the nation, and humil
iating a State in the Union faithful at all times
to nl! its obligations, and the object of said
amendment were one: to place new and u 1-
heard-of powers in the hands of a faction, that
it might absorb to itself all executive, judicial
and legislative power necessary to secure to
itself immunity for the unconstitutional acts
it had already committed, and those it has
since inflb tcd on a too patient people.
The subsequent usurpations of these once
national assemblies m passing pretended laws
for the establishment in ten States of martial
law, which is nothing but the will of the tniii-
those who seek to encroach upon public liberty, j
Strictly construed, it dispenses entirely with a j
State;” but when it has invited the
. i vute»*s to an election on the express provi-
si 'D that a majority of all registered
should be necessary to give effect, it can
not now * recede’ from this provision and
House of Representatives unless the St.it*3 { dec!are that a Ilm j or j fy 0 p those only V0-
shall abrogate every qualification, and espe- | j j j
ciallv that of time or inhabitancy; without
which tLe light of suffrage is worthless.
The l egislature, feeling conscious of the
support of tlie largest majority of the people
that has ever given expression to the public
will, declare that the said proposed amend
ment, being designated to confer, or to compel
the State to confer, the sovereign right of the
elective franchise upon a race which has never
given the slightest evidence, at any time, or in
any quarter of the globe, of its capacity for
self-government, and erect an impracticable
standard of suffrage, which will render the
right valueless to any portion of the people,
was intended to overthrow the system of self-
government under which the people of the
United Siatcs have for eighty years enjoyed
their liberties, and is unfit, from its origin, its
object and its matter, to be incorporated with
the fundamental law of a free people; there
fore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and General Assem
bly of ibe State of New Jersey, That the joint
resolution.approved September 11, Anno Dom
ini eighteen hundred and sixty-six, relative to
amending the Constitution of the United States,
be and the same is hereby rescinded, and the
consent on behalf of the State of New Jersey
to ratify the proposed fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United States is
hereby withdrawn.
And be it resolved, That copies of the fore
ting shall be held to have ratified the con
stitution. That would not be sovereignty:
it would be rascality. Take a parralle)
case. The Legislature has a right to de
clare the limits of felony ; but it has no
right to declare that a man has committed
felony just became he lias done that
which it might have made felony. The
only question is: What was the law at
the time when the act was committed 1
So of the Alabama election ; the ques
tion is not what Congress might have de
clared, originally, to be taken as ratifying
the constitution, but on what terms the
election was actually held. Of that there
can be no dispute. Congress declared
that a clear majority of all registered vo
ters should be necessary. That majority
was not obtained. We do not even know
—nay, we have not even fair ground for
supposing—that had full vote been cast,
the constitution would have been ratified.

In the House, after private business, the im

The following are the impeachment articles,

2. The appointment to the Secretaryship of
War, w'ith tlie like intent, of one Lorenzo

eject Stanton from the War Office.
8. A conspiracy to take possession of the

As it has become the fashion in these

their respect and regard for the Constitu

together a number of quotations from
men whose names were once honored as
those of the purest and wisest in the land.
We have no idea, of course, that there
opinions will be of the slightest conse
