I don't wonder nt thi*. The condition of onr people, prior to 1861. was one of extraordinary contentment and qniet- ne.«». The peace of the nation bad never been broken, and the Conalitntion had always com- a.stub'll respect. Nona of onr aacred right*, a* wc call them, nneb a* liberty of tho portion, free dam of apcecb, and the like, had been violated. I believe the writ of hnhta* carpu* hail not been suspended prior to 1SCI. Wo sought to admin- i,t.r I ho Federal Government for general pur pose*, and tbo State Government for npi .-ini and home purpose*, and neither bad aerionsly in vaded the jurisdiction nf tbo other. As onr father* started, so wo had gone on, peacefully, steadily, and withont any notloeablo depart ure. The Governments over ns did not era Urrsssns. They were in no sense a harden, and taxation fell as lightly npon onr homes as a gentle anew. It was a most happy condition for all of ns who enjoyed the privileges anil imtnnnilies of citizenship. lint all did not en joy these privileges and iinnmnities. There wa* slavery in the land, atmnt one in every nine of ils inhabitants was n slave. That was onr danger, troubling onr fathers in the beginning, and troubling n* always, and more and more. This bring* mo to notice Iho resolutions of r.nr recent .Stale Convention aid tho changes that have taken place in eur political condition dnriug tho last ten years. They ore of two kind* : First.—Changes in the Conatilntion of the United Slates. Second —Charges in tbo maimer of adminis tering the government What are the changes that have been made in Ihe Constitution ? They ore threo in number. Tlie first is this i No slavery shall exist in tho United States. KtatEnv cr.EAr.XD away. When tlie Constitution was ndoptrd slavery was everywhere, in the North as woll as in ibe South, and therefore tbo Constitution did .not forbid it Very soon, however, and from time to time, the States themselves, acting sepa rately, abolished it within their respective juris dictions, till it was to bo fonnd nowhere lmt in Ihe Sonth, and at lost it was diatnrbod and threatened there. The Sonth rebelled at this. War came, a long, bloody, eoally civil war, anil Ilia rebellion was overwhelmed and slavery <lo- stroyed. T Lin resnlt is now declared in tho Constitu tion. Sncb a declaration was to be expected. The result* of sncocnsfnl war are always doelar- rd in somo binding form. If it be a war bo- Iweon nation*, tbo results appear in the final treaty; if it be a civil war. they usually appear in nemo modification of the fundamental lew conforming it to the now condition of the gov ernment. Snch ia onr case. Tbo recent Con stitutional Amendments Blond for tho final treaty of onr civtl war. Look nt tbo question in another aspect. IIow do the Slates now regard slavery ? Ohio has declared there shall l>o no slavery within her jurisdiction. Now York has declared it in her Conatilntion. Pennsylvania has declared it Every State in the East tml in tho West and in the North has declared it. Not only this. Every State in tho Sonth has declared it, and remem bering onr post, it ia arise and proper that onr IVdersl Conalitntion should also declare it. Lot this tronblo be pnt away from ns so that it may never oorno again. Till OTIIXR AMENDMENTS. What ia Uio second change ? In substance, this : All persons bora or naturalized in tho United State* are citizens of the some, and of the Stato in which they reside. No Slate shall abridge Ihe privileges or immunities of cilizon* of tho United States, or deny to any person tho equal protection of its lairs. There is also in this amendment a clause dis qualifying certain citizens for bolding any office nn.ler the United Slates, or nnder any State; and another olanse affirming the validity of onr pnhlic debt, and the invalidity of all rebel debts. Whit is tho third? The right of citizens of the United Slates to volo shall not bo denied or abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi tude. These arc the changes made in onr Constitu tion daring the last ten years—the famous am-ndments of which wo have heard so mneb, and which are so often referred to, even now. The Thirteenth Amendment, abolishing slavery thranghont the United Buies, is accept ed hv all, and in the Sonth a* unanimously os in the North. The doubt and hesitation have been about tho Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend ments, because of Ihe means used to proenra their adoption, and because of the change they make in the relations which bad always existed between the Federal Government and the State governments. In tho language of oar reoent State Conven tion, the means uaod to procure the adoption of these two amendqnnts were extraordinary, vio lent and unsatisfactory. There is no thinking, right-minded nun who desires that a single otbor amendment may be nude to tbo Constitu tion os these were made; for it is impossible to preserve iU sac redness nnder anoh treatment. THE srrnXME CornT CANNOT SET THEM ASIDE. The Constitution should never he lightly dealt with; nor ahontd it be altered for mere party advantage, and any amendments pro posed should be fairly submitted to a free and unthreatened judgment. Snch was the cose in reference to all amendments previously made; such is not the cose in reference to tbeso two lint I do not care to darell npon the history of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, for I see nothing in their history that arill destroy their validity. Yon cannot invalidate legisla tion by showing it is tainted with frand. It may be admitted that an act of Congress was was passed by undue means; that coercion, bribery, and all kinili of oorrnption wen applied to effect its passage, and yet the Court cannot act it aside. The validity of a statute cannot be impeached on anoh grounds, nor can tho validity of a constitutional amendment No ooart boa jurisdiction to inqnira into the eir- cumsUnces nnder which either area passed. The only question is, wen they in feet passed. If they were, all Courts most recognize them. Could I go into onr Supremo Court and impair the vitality of an act of Congress by showing that enough Congressmen to change the resnlt had boon coaroed to vote far it, or bribed to vote for it! Clearly, I could not, nor could I successfully attack a constitutional amendment on iheae grounds. The Supreme Court has no supervision over the action of Congress in pass ing a statute, or over the action of State Legis latures or State Conventions in adopting a con- StitatiODlI imPTi^mAn^ It arcnld be unwise to confer npon tbo Su premo Court snch extraordinary jurisdiction. The fanlt it not in the mocbicezy of the govern ment It is os complete as it should be; bat it is not oooplote enough, and human invention cannot make it perfect enoogh to prevent or correct every possible abase, and wo mast de pend, at loot for the light management of many important political oonoeras npon the good con duct of the people themselves. This ia for bet ter and safer than to trust unlimited power to any department of the government. We may not look to the Supreme Court to de clare these amendments unconstitutional; it hot no jurisdiction over them. We may not look to the States to annul them by a farther amendment; it requires three-fourths of them to concur in snch a movement; that number not concur in such a movement. And wo may not took to the people to oombine to over throw them in some other way; the people have already accepted them. Tho destruction of •laveryli acknowledged and approved by all, and our oolored population has voted in every State of the Union, at onr local and general «.tciions, again and again, and withont chal lenge or molestation. TLeso amendments will Suffrage, once granted, cannot be called; suffrage that has been practised will not be surrendered. I approve the action of our recent convention on this subject I regret the 00 unfairness and spirit of domination in which tome cf these amendments wore carried, and 00 this unfairness and force should always be con demned, lost they beoome a precedent for the future. I regret also the tendency to encroach, ment npon State sovereignty manifested in theee amendments. Bat the Stale is not destroyed, and we may yet preserve it, if are have the good sense no longer to araste oar strength npanqt Uoos that have passed to final judgment THE AMENDMENT* AOE GOOD IN THEMSELVES. The changes, stated in the fewest words, are theee: No person shall be s slave, and oil bon or naturalized here shall be citizens, with equal civil and political rignts. When bnt a mere Handful of oar colored pop ulation was free, and tbo great mass of them in slavery, ths question of their civil and political rights wa* not before ns. Snch a question could not properly arise till slavery arts removed. Now all of this population are free. They are a great ranltitndc—about one-eighth of onr peo ple. I do not think it good atateamanahip i snch government* as ours to make so large mass of freemen a subject doss, or to hold them permanently in an inferior or degraded condi tion. Slavery was alwsya a danger. This other oondition of the colored people wonld be a dan ger also, ever troubling ns and threatening onr peace. Many of yon will remember when the parly now in power endeavored to distranchiae onr foreign-tmra population. It aneceeded for a time, lint Democracy at lost triumphed and saved the political right* of onr foreign-bora. One of the reasons that jnatified ns applies to the ease of onr colored population. They a more numerous than onr foreign-born population was in the dsys of Know-Nutbiogism; they are just as free; the Constitution no longer restrains or embarrasses ns, and onr very Democracy requires that wo should act now as wo did then. And why should we not ? Have this people ever wroDgcd ns ? IIow or when ? It is they who have boon wrap god. Shall Democracy point its guns npon lb? lowly and unfortunate ? It would be an unmanly warfare. Foint yonr guns yon der, npon the national Capitol—at. the high places, against imperialism and absolutism. There i* your danger, and there is to be yonr straggle. NEl.&O KLTKUAOE WAS TOO MCCH HASTENED. I must believe that tho extension of the right of suffrage to that part of oar colored popula tion jnst emancipated was too mneh hastened. Accoiding to the theory of onr Government, all should mako some preparation for the re sponsible duties of a fall citlzonobip. To this end, we delay the foreigner by onr naturaliza tion laws; to this end wo open schools for alL lint the work is done, and wo shonld make the best of it. Depending npon the school and the chnrcb, and summoning them to their utmost exertion, let ns go forward, hopefully and brave ly. After all, it is not the most learned that do Ihe best voting. The farmer votes as wisely as tho professor, and tho humbio are quite as true to freo government as the exalted and assuming. THE CONSTITUTION STnx EXCELLENT. These are the changes made in onr Federal Constitution daring tbo lu*t ten years. I have boen requested to notice them. I should have noliood them without request; for thoro seems to bo an apprehension with many that the old Constitution has been spoiled or pat aside. Far from it. That same Constitution which onr fathers had, and to which the Democracy has been so faithful through all onr biatory, is onr Constitution to day. Theso amendments have been added to it, and that is all. The Consti tution remains still an excellent Constitution, and tlie Stato remains with ample sovereignty to do its proper work. Wo have no right to des pond as if all wore lost, nor shonld wo spend onr strength in a vain straggle to get back to i condition which can never bo restored. Ad minister tho Conatilntion as amended, accord ing to tho terms and directions contained aritbin it, and all will bo welL Tbo mischief is not in the Constitution. TITE STATES AND TUE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Now, as heretofore, our Union is a limited government, with only snch powers as are del- egatcfl to it; now, os heretofore, ail powers not delegated to it are reserved to the States or the people; now, as heretofore, and under the Constitution as it is, the States hold ample sovereignty for the management of all their home interests. This dootriuo cannot be aban doned. Alas for ns if the State aa onr fathers made it shall evor disappear front onr system of government. Tho peril so recently cnconn- tered enables ns to realizs what a calamity it wonld linvo been if the war hod destroyed onr Union. Not less disastrous would be the ca lamity if the States, as snch, ibonld bo destroy ed or changed into something else and less. Our Fodaral Government and onr State Gov- crliments, nnder the Constitution, make to gether one complex system. Each is limited, anil noilber complete enough to do all we need to have done. Tho Federal Government is to have tbo charge of interests that are common to nil; the Stato Goveramenta of interests that are special, each Slate taking charge of ita own in terests. Tho Stato shall not do the work of the Federal Government; the Federal Government shall not do the work of the State. Each is su preme within the limits of ita power*, and tho people are supremo over both. We worship neither, for they are Ihe work of onr own hands, and made to serve us. We hoar, on the one hand, that the States owe their life to the Fed- oral Government, and, on the other bind, tbit the Federal Government owes its life to the States. This is taking on high sirs. In the irosenoo of tho people, they are both clay in tho lamls of tho potter, and in the truest sense, neither maile the other. The people made both. What did tho people mean when they made the State; or, rather, what is meant by the sovereignity of tho Stato? It is meant that the Stato has cxdosive authority and power to manage its own internal affairs. Nothing more than this, bnt nothing leas. In homely phrase, the doctrine is this: Each of these organiza tions shall mind its own business, and neither rneddlo with that of the other. This is as sennd doctrine for onr government as for onr indi vidual daily life. This is the doctrine which makes freo men end free communities, and which underlies all onr political institutions, ovon to the moat insignificant. The Constitu tion of the United States acknowledges it, every State Constitntino ia foil of it, and every oonn- ty, township and city thranghont onr wide land ia daily practising npon it. It started far back with onr colonial ancestors; they grew and strengthened with it; they cherished it; they fongbt for it—fought seven years for it; they trinmphod with it, and laid the foundations of these governments npon U. We, too, arill cherish it; we will fight for it; we arill triumph with it, and the party that violates it shall be gronnd into dost. Loiters (o South (Georgia Farmers— Ko. S. OX UEEDZET nZLDER. Wo shonld not underrate the wisdom of past ages or despise tbo lessons of experience. Bat this is an ago of development, and the suprem acy of mind over matter, and the tendencies are to still higher achievements in that direc tion.

If he is to be a manufacturer, why try educate him for the pnlpit or the bar? If he to be a lawyor why train him for a doctor or civil engineer ? If he ia to be a fanner, why not make him one worthy his noble calling?
