The Constitution ns it was framed t-y the founder of our (Jovcrnmen. and a it was ralifietl by the people ef the fcv eraLStates, contains this provision ; " Cun jrress t-hall have power to make all laws wntcn siiau i;c i.(-j.f-v trrrgnnj infn r.rf'ufioit the r.Tegoinjr powers, and all other powecs vested bv this Constitution iu the fiovernmcnt of the United Statesj or any Pcpartment or Office thereof." The great ht a to.-men who constructed our Federal (lovcrnment in Mtch - l.intiful harmony with State Rights, and the legitimate powers, of the State (loveruments, and the .liberties of the people, iuvested it only with the es sential powers to regulate isfVair? between the United States and foreign nations, and with the Indian tribes, and among the States. The power to regulite their own internal affair., which titn aud frum iiKuij , wuuiu neer ac oeou fur- remlercd or compromised by the men of that day ; because they knew lull weii that this would involve the cert.vn and spce.Iy loss of the'r liberties. Tho'r well-1 consiilcred judg'.ueat was, that tic cl.:u.;j quolcd would confer ample auxiliary cr on the itcw Goyeruuijsst to enatdo it! properly to cxecnte all the Pmite l powers- delegated id it by the Constitution. Twelve Amendments to the Constitution, extensive, complicated and, of momentous importance in their "matter, have since been made. lut tintil nono person has ever thought it proper W invest the flov CriEientvof the Catted States wit li, any other, or additional power than is import ed by that clause, to enable it to execute aH the powers conferred upon it, hoth'bv flie original text of the Constitution and i those' twelve Amendments, ul Seventy! years of trial lias proved the power es-i tablbhed and Invested by that clause to vc sujacicntior cverv ierir:mare onicct. ' Then," the ' Section ot this proposed Amendment was designed by its authors to iayest Congress with more tower tluuii it can now properly claim under the clause oclorc quotcdj tor some purpose- If their intcYitibn5 wns hiefvly to abolish ' invj' loyevcr vnicraict. slavery m ainne oiares, the 2d Section j would be wholly tmnecos--Sary.. For thpfc objects . arc. secured by, the, 1 stv Section,, .and no' Congressional legislation would be required to give 'it fall effect.' ' A'parf of ' the rCo:istittitimV of the Uaited State, it woukTbe the Su premo Law of the bred ;" and every court and of5ccrs of . the Federal (rovernmcnt, and of all the States, would? be bound by bis "oath'J and nh" express provision of the Constitution,, to obey, and execute it, "anything ia the Constitution .and laws of . any. jState to the , contrary . notwith standing.". :Anj negro held, or attempt ed to be bcld, in slaycry, could 1 sue Tils' wrofcg-doer; "x& bav tire1 j adgment tf "a court ia favor .of bi froedoni, and also for dani.igea.-and could have him indictpd and punished under the common law lor the trespass. I- Whatj thon, was tbe spdeial object of the Second Section, which could not be effected by tbe power conferred by the first, aided by the general auxiliary power of Congress to pass all laws which should be " necessary And proper to execute it?" That important and coveted object is to eonfer on alt freed negroes the right to vote. This, the architects of such a great innovation ini 'the Government of the United Statesknow, would be Etubborn Irresisted at every step? The first great, and if not removed, insuperable obstruc tion is this'Tmrvision trf the Constitution of the United -States I " The House of Representatives shall be' composed ofj Members chosen every second year, by the several. States, and the Electors in each Stata shall have the qualifications requisite for .Electors of the mast numer ous Iraqch-of tle State Legislature." Another great compromise of the Con stitution was embodied in this clause. After the Convention tad agreed that each State should Have two Senators, there was bnt little difficulty. in fixing the principle, that their . Legislatures should choose ihem. . But'tbe electors of Repre senta.tives was a subject 'of much 'diffi culty, and -of prbtrieied consideration by the . Convention. Among the States there were' numerous,' and often conflict ing variations, as to the person's, and their qualifieations, of their electors; and a persevering effort was made to organize a homogeneous system of electors of Rep resentatives for all the States. - But the f?taUt syatoiuai were ao espcniially differ ent. and the peoole of each State were so st ron ly attaelied to their own, that it w as found impossible. This "vexed question whs VrtttvpSMtniiped, by allowing to eah tato to, determitJe whftt 'classes of its eitizem should be the cleetrs of Ilepie sentalives. and what should bo their i-uat-iCeations, by incorporating into the Con stitution this provision, declaring' that the electors win choose the niont an mor ons brauth of each State l.eyislat ore, should also choose its llepiesentalives to Congress."- When this principle was reached it satisfied all th StaWs.' arid it beeaiiM another trtt iK,'tifii i'fyhl tinder thq Countit utioAi - .

It matter not w hat important State rigb. w hat great princi ple ofCotistiuition.il faw, or of just, wise, aud permanent policy of administration may be ia tho way of the consummation of their designs. They are ever ready to aerifiee all that, or anything that may thwart their grasping and unappeasable se!fi-hne, provided it can be done at the cot of ether people, and without detri fucat to tlientiieoe.; , 'ibo Abolitionists are in power; tbeli List b pe to bold it to itnest the freed negi'o with the right to vote. The great nee I is to obtain a power, direct or indi rect, by which the right of suffrage may be conferred upon the freeuinau. ami which would not prejudice the Abolilion i.st and the riidieals ; and this cannot be done withoTtt' abolishing'' or "modifying thJ provis&m cf the Constitution, which invests .each State with, the power to. fix nhoehall.be the c'ec'.ors -of her Ropre seJitativcs ill Congress; aud 'to "attempt d irrrthj to cJiotifh tht provision of the Consfittition.ro as to secure their object, would probably bring to the movement so much of public attention aud disapproba tion as to defeat, it.

The argument now is, that if put in the enioyment of all the rights here enuinefatedi it would bo impossible to impugn their freedom that without those rights ireedom would be but a de lusion; that therefore a' law of Congress conferring upon them all those rights would be appropriate', legislation to up hold, to enforce their freedom. ; , When Congress, without any special power, has passed a law declaring that the wives arid children of all negro soldiers, who had before that time or who might thereafter enlist) shall be free,' and without compen sation to their' owners, can scepticism doubt, that, being thua instracted and empowered by this section, ; it would pass such laws, and that they, would by tus tained by the weak and profligatg courts oi this day, . composed , of, suca , men as Chase, et. id onuie genus? . This ameridment of the Constitution is intended to give ultimately to the Aboli tionists and radicals bUu,UOU treed-negro rotes, diffused over fifteen States.
