Their names are on file and daily exhibited to the public through the columns of the Eufaula News and Clayton Banner, under the heading of “ Roll of Infamv.” Many amusing incidents occurred during ' the “five days farce” at the Eufaula precinct, j Hundreds of applicants from Georgia and Flor ida presented themselves “fur de mule,” as they could not possibly be prevailed upon by the “strickly roil” of that section to wait pa tiently their turn.

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.
