which was referred the communication of the
Hon. Win. H. Seward. Secretary of State for
the United States, to His Excellency, the Gov
ernor of tbe State of Texas, dated June 16.
1806, covering a resolution of Congress pro
posing to the Legislatures of tlie several States
a fourteenth article to the Constitution of the
United States, have the honor to report as
follows:
The amendment to the Constitution pro
posed by this joint resolution as Article XIV.
is presented to the Legislature of Texas for
its action thereon under article V., of that
Constitution. This article V. providing the
mode of making amendments to that instru
ment, contemplates the participation by all
the States through their representatives in
Congress, in proposing amendments. As re
presentatives from nearly one-tbird ot the
States were excluded from the proposing the
amendments, the constitutional requirement
was not complied with; it was violated in
letter and in spirit; and the proposing of
these amendments to States which were ex
cluded from all participation in their initia
tion in Congress, is a nullity.
Your committee might rest the whole mat
ter here, but they will not propose tbe rejec
tion of the amendments on the denial of the
right to participate in originating them, but
will consider the substance of the amend
ments submitted.
The first section proposes to deprive the
States of the right which they have possessed
since the revolution of 1770 to determine
what shall constitute citizenship of a State,
and to transfer that right to the Federal Gov
ernment. Its object is, provided the section
shall become a part of the Constitution, under
the color of a generality, to declare negroes
to be citizens of ibe United States, and there
fore citizens of the several States, and as such
entitled to all the “ privileges and immuni
ties” of white citizens; in these privileges
would be embraced the exercise of suffrage at
the polls, participation in jury duty in all
cases, bearing arms in the militia and other
matters which need not here be enumerated.
It is unnecessary to appeal to the fact that
in most of the original free States negroes
have been by Inw, and in all of them by im
memorial usage, excluded from these privi
leges and immunities, mow sought to be forced
on the Southern States, to show that the
amendment proposed in this section content
plates and intends a violation not only ot jus
tice but of the common instincts of our na
ture. In the opinion of your committee it is
not fitting, it is not demanded by the smallest
show of right, that the broad, comprehensive
principles which have pervaded the Constitu
tion of the United States since its adoption
more than three-fourths of a century since,
should be abandoned, sacrificed and become
a burlesque to gratify tbe vanity, the malice,
the fanaticism of rivals and imitators of Ana-
charis Klootz.
There is scarcely any limit to the power
sought to bo transferred by tbis section from
the States to tlie United States. Congress
might declare almost any right or franchise
whatever, to be the privilege or immunity of
a citizen of the United States, and it would
immediately attach to every citizen of every
State, whether white man or descendant of
African. To estimate the comprehensive
scope of the power herein sought for Con
gress, that body might declare miscegenation
a ‘privilege or immunity.’
The second section is in some degree the
counterpart and completement ot the first, in
its object to force negro suffrage on the
Southern States. As a punishment for refus
ing suffrage to the negro, it proposes to de
prive these States of their rightful share in
the Electoral Colleges and in the representa
tion in Congresa To appreciate the full
6cope of this second section, it must be con
sidered in connection with the third section
which is a svt eeping disfranchisement of the
white inhabitants ot tbe Southern States.—
The two sections together appear in the light
of a nefarious conspiracy to transfer, so far
as crafty and ipiqnitous legislation can effect
the object, the government, the civilization
of these States from the white race to
negroes. Your committee will not char
acterize as it deserves the pretence that
this section has been dictated by a spirit of
justice towards negroes;for a majority ofthe
States proposing these amendments to the
Constitution have, from the fbundation of the
Government to tlie present time in their
State Constitutions, denied to tlie free ne
groes among them, the identical franchise
now sought to be wrested from the Southern
States. This injustice is more palpable from
the fact that the free negroes are a more in
considerable element ot their population,
while their numbers with us, if these amend
ments shnll be adopted aud become the law
ofthe land, would profoundly modify if not
destroy our political and even our social in
stitutions. To effect this wrong, it is now
proposed to change the basis of representa
tion of the States in Congress and in the
Electoral College, which was established by
the framers of the Constitution, and acquiesc
ed in without a murmur to the present time,
and in such manner as to deprive the South
of a portion of tlieir just representation as
now guaranteed in the Constitution and to
give to the North a still more overwhelming
preponderance in the National couucils than
they already possess.
The third section is designed to effect the
disfranchisement of the white inhabitants of
these States. Its provision is so sweeping os
to embrace every individual in the State, who
may, at any time ot bis life, either in Texas
or any other State, have taken an oath
to support the Constitution of the United
States, and who shall also have engaged in
the late war, and given aid and comfort to
K ns so engaged. It embraces all persons
ng civil offices, however inconsiderable;
all soldiers, whether volunteers or conscripts;
every person who may have given a blanket,
or even a meal of victuals to a Confederate
soldier. The very charities of life are made
a crime by tbis joint resolution. It is idle
to attempt to draw any distinction between
the practical effects ot a denial of the right
to vote and that of holding office. Under
the sweeping exclusion, whom would you
have to vote for ? It establishes what might
by a perversion of terms, be called an
aristocracy; but it would bo an aristo
cracy the most hideous and revolting
ever imagined; it would be an aristo
cracy founded on baseness and incapa
city. Under tbo sweeping provisions of this
act, there would be a comparatively small
number eligible to offices of trust and honor,
except those who, from want of virtue and
want of capacity, have never been deemed wor
thy by theirfellow-ciiizcnsto fill even the hum
blest puolic office. The third section, if it
shall become a part of the organic law, will
be nothing less than the disfranchisement of
the citizens of this State; .it proposes to stig
matize and degrade all that is most elevated
and most worthy, and it coolly asks us to be
tbe executioners, the instruments of the de
gradation of onr own people. Few men
among us may care to hold office, but no one,
with tho spirit of his fathers in him, will
willingly submit to be lieldup as unworthy,
and least of all will he be the tool, and plead
guilty to the infamy sought to be inflicted oj
us. The right ot representation has ever
been deemed an inestimable inheritance;
but it would - be weak as well as wicked to
barter our birthright for the empty 6lmdow
of representation offered in these amend
ments.
The fourth *ecti»u is sufficiently ptovided-
i for bv the action of the late Convention -of
examples. You arc herein called to shear the
last lock of your strength ; to throw away
the armor 'ftliich is yet furnished you in the
Constitution of the United States. Let these
proposed amendments, with this section, be
engrafted into the Contitution, and it is a
virtual repeal of that Article which declares,
“The powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by
it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people.” As tbe first
sections embrace everything touching citi
zenship, what right, what franchise can the
citizens possess that may not be disposed of,
destroyed, abrogated under tbis “appropriate
legislation ?” To so abuse power would in
deed be monstrous; but your Committee are
not permitted to ignore the threats solemnly
made and often repeated by the acknowl
edged leader of the House of Representa
tives, and ofthe Radical abolition party. If
there be any one who, in weariness of soul,
would yielti over this fatal and irrecovera
ble power, in exchange for a shadowy, an
unsubstantial and curtailed representation in
Congress, we abjure him, in behalf of the
freedom and honor of his fellow-citizens, to
pause.
We have been warned by the Radical press
of the North; we have been warned by let
ters written by gentlemen, who are avowed
members ot the Radical party, to hide from
the threatened wrath of tlie Radical party in
Congress, by ratifying these amendments to
the Constitution. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, the
leader of that party in Congress, in his place
in the House of Representatives, and more re
cently in his speech at Bedford, bos proclaim
ed what that punishment shall be, which is
in store for our contumacy. Radical gentle
men have, in their letters, told us of the con
sequence. Conspicuous among the conse
quences are abrogation of our State Govern
ment, the restoration of martial law with a
military Governor; the confiscation of the
balance of our property, and the granting of
freehold homesteads to negroes on tbe plan
tations whereon they had been slaves; the
impeachment of tbe President; the abroga
tion of all pardons granted by authority ot
the President, and trials for treason before
military commissions, which may ensue on
such abrogation; the sweeping disfranchise
ment of our people, nnd the passage by Con
gress of an Enabling Act to authorize eertuin
classes, which means the black race and a
fraction of our own people, to create a new
State Government on the rnins of our existing
Constitution, and with such new State Gov
ernment for Texas to re-enter the American
Union! These are threats, not made by im
plication, but in express terms, under which
your committee have considered tlie amend
ments referred to them; and they are stated
at some length by your committee, that tlie
House may know that we are not unmindful
of the solemn circumstances under which we
•ire acting. Our own experience, the history
of human passion, do not permit us to con
sider these threats ns unmeaning; tlie North
ern press foreshadows the success of the Rad
icals; the telegraphic wires arc already her
alding their success in the first Northern
elections.
In determining the action which yourcom-
mittee shall herein recommend, touching the
proposed amendments, they have not been
guided by considerations of momentary ex
pediency ; thej’ base tbeir action on princi
ple. But as it bos been insidiously intima
ted, both by a certain portion of the Northern
press and in the letters of members of the
radical party jast alluded to, that the adop
tion ot these amendments would save us our
State government, your committee will sim
ply remark that no pledge has been given—
no party is authorized to make such pledge;
that your State government so preserved, and
at the cost ot principle, would not be worth
having.
If the proposed amendment to the Consti
tution shall be ratified by a sufficient number
of States to become a portion of the organic
law of the country, notwithstanding our re
fusal to ratify them, we shall then yield to
them full obedience as a law-abiding people.
If we reject them, we can appeal from tlie
passions engendered by the late civil war, to
the sense of justice, to the love of right, to
tlie principles of tree, representative govern
ment, which, we believe, are deeply and firm
ly implanted in the hearts of the American
people; we will “ appeal from Philip drunk
to Philip sober.” But, if with willing and\f
tho necessity for Macon’s moving all her ra
sources and credit tofinish tho Brunswick road,
and that the “panuy wise and pound foolish
doctrine must give’ way to a public spirited,
statesman-liko view of our future interests.
Sometimes outlay becomes tho greatest economy,
and withholding amounts to losi. Macon must
now move, or take a back seat. She has been
held down long enough by purse strings,- she
must rise up to effort, and struggle for position
We have capital, enterprise, intelligence, and
we will inaugurate a system of improvements
that will enhance the value of property and
give employment to every man now within her
limits, and while improving her own fortunes
make cheerful hearth-stones beneath her civic
arch,
We have said, before, we must have a freo
bridge, that tbe citizens shall not freeze except
he pays half the price of a lead of wood to get
it across the bridge. Wc want a free bridge—we
want steam to the ocean at Brunswick—we want
two channels of communication with Savannah—
we want water, turning the wheels of machinery
around the town,—we want prosperity, and future
greatness lor Macon, and we will be as ready to
raise money to repair and build, as we were to tax
posterity with debt to meet the desolations or war.
Posterity can better pay the debts for improve
ments, than any other that can be imposed, and
we want now the energy, the wealth, the credit
and the resources of Macon invoked, to crown her
as one of the queen cities ot the South.
