TRANSFIGURATION.

BY JOHN J. PIATT. CHARLESTOWN, VA., DECEMBER 2, 1859.
WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMBER 2, 1863.
ft was a coincidence, to which my attention waa
called by a brother of Job Brown, at the time, in
Washington, When CkAwrottDl Staue of Freedom
(the Work of putting which in brnnte was executed
by negroes who Were, or had been, slaves in the
employ of Clark Mills) was raised to Its position
on the dome of the National Capitot, on the anni
versary of the execution at Cbarlestown four years

Ere from the gallows to the martyr's grave

.Such office then I Like Christopher ot old,
In that poor child the lifted Christ ba knew,

Where mnniinir shall be a nick to aee her face,

THE DRUNKARD'S DAUGHTER.
BY GEORGE W. BUNGAY.
Out In the street, with naked feot,
1 aaw the drunkard's little daughter t
Tier tattered shawl waa thin and small)
She little knew, fur no one taught her.
Fler skin was fair, her auburn hair
Was blown about bar pretty forohead,
Iler sad, white face wore Sorrow's trace,
Aud waut and woe that ware not borrowed.
Ilotft-tiroken child, she aeldom s.niled ;
liopo promised her no bright To-morrow J
Or it its light flushed tn ber Night,
Then up came darker clouds of sorrow.
She softly said : " We have no broad,
No wood to keep the fire a-burning."
The child was ill j the winda so chill ;
Her tbin, cold blood, to io was luruiug.
But men well fed and warmly clad,
Aud ladies robed in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion. ,
That long night fled, and then the light
Of rosy day in beauty shining,
Set dome and spire and roof on fire,
And shone ou one beyond repining.
Asleep alone as cold ss stone,
Where no duar parent over annglit-her;
In winding-sheet of snow and sleet,
Was found tbs drunkard's lifeless daughter.
The Campaign.
The Negro as a Voter.
- ITon. John A. Bingham, in a recent speech
thus disposes of the fallacious argumeiili
brought forward by the opponents of Man
hood Suffrage : . . i
" They undertake to alarm yon with (he
plea 1 hat Ave are about to make, the " nig
g'T," to uso their iiomeiichiture, equal to
a white mnu. .That iff a (jhilosophiuul con
chtBion to arrive at. They wight as well
undertake to say that men ,are, by law,
equal to each other in etuiure. "Niggers
equal to white men," and they .wind up by
oayitiR, "This is a white man's Govern
uiHnt." . What blasphemy 1 : They miht aa
well say this ia a white man's- phnot, and
organize a Democratic association, estab
lished for. the purpose of cribbing and fat
tenning, and roasting' and eatiug every hu
man being on its Bin luce that is not a white
man. 1 thought that in the' middle of the
nineteenth century it baa come to be pretty
well known that this world of ours was
not iuudo for Ctesiir, but fur man; that it be
longed, at last, ouly to the common Father
of us all, and to all bia creatures who worked
well upon it. But these . Democrats, the
elcctl. suppose, of the universe of God,
after conspiring to overthrow your Gov
ernment aud mine, after conspiring for four
long' years to annihilate your altar, and
scatter darkness and desolation over your
hearthstones, after sending lamentatiou
ana death into the habitations ot the peo
ple of the land, come creeping out of their
hiding 'places, aud aiying, We are the De
mocracy, the elect of the republic, the only
men, iu the language' of the modest Villon
diguum, who have brains, and should be
bbtrusted with the administration of pub
lio affairs, and especially upon the ground
that this is " a white man's government,
llow would that pretense of theirs have
sounded in 1776 wheii those grand old men
assembled in convention at Philadelphia
and issued that hew evangel tn the nations,
in which they declared that "all men are
created equal, and eodowod by their Crea
tor with the rights of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiuesB." Why, if Vallan
dig ham had beeu there, he would have
stretched out bis npck like' a crane, and
wl ispered like a gibbering ghost iu the ear
of Joffurnon, the father of Democracy, " Put
the word white iu, so that it will read, all
white men are created equal," ko. About
that time that, grand old patriot, -who
snatched the lightuins from the heaven,
and broke the aoupter of tyrants, Dtnjamin
franklin, would have arisen in his place,
and in his own quiet way inquired of Vul'an
diham, " Tray, sir; how white ought a man
to bebelore be has the right to live! '
It is a white man's Government, ia it T
Every iutilligent man in the country knows
that in 1778, when they orgauizud'the first
constitutional Government for the United
States of America, the first point of diffi
culty between the then thirteen States, was
with couth Laroliniai who was then: as now,
possessed of the devil, when she arose in
her place in that Convention, and moved to
insert in tha articles of confederation, the
word h:te, as an essential condition of
American citizenship. It was rejected with'
scorn aud contempt. The representatives
of three fourths of all the people of Amer ¬
ica rejected it at that time. Go, look at
the record and you will find eight Elates,
embracing three fourths of the whole peo
ple of the United States, rctiug as a unit
that no suoli word should go Into youruon-
stihition. Two Stales Toted aye one State
was tqually divided: two States were not
represented, but if they bad beeu. aud had
vot4'olid for the. terrible! blasphemy, it
would not have altered the result. Nine
yearn afterward they framed your match
less Constitutional Government at tMiiladnl
phis, under the Constitution of the United1
Btalce, and the word " white" is not in it.
The words " natural born eitiaen are there
and the man is a natural borufool who does
not understand tnat the term ''natural
Ixru citizen " Implies that oititentbip is
birthright. It cornea with a man into the
world, lie has a ritrlit to oitizensliD. no
matter what his complexion to long Mr he
behaves himself well, upon the spot where
be hud bis origin; and the man who denies
it is merely a monster. When he comes
among you with bit uostroius you know
him to be a thest, i peddler, who eayst
This ia (he genuine eld Dii Towottud'i
it
,
to
in
it
to
i
RarsnparilU." I meau the Democrat who
d jnies that, under flie oli Constitu
tion, citizenship is birthright Men of
foreign climes, bv the text oi that Conatitu
tion.ore admitted to all the right aud 1m
inuuiticsvof cititena of tha Republic It is
so written in the body of it, that Congress
shall have power to pass uniform naturali
sation law. So that yon have natural
horn citisons, tnd naturalised oitisena; and
they are alike honored before the law.
Yes, when they organized the Govern
ment, they took care not to put the word
" white " into the Constitution, but did take
care to put the worda "natural horn oiti
iens"intoit. What waa the result T Itia
a " white man's Government," is it f Why,
the very first blood shed for the assertion
of your independence and the establishment
of your nationality, upon the Bold of Lex
ington, was the blood of a black oitiaen of
Massachusetts. And when they came to
the work, after the victory had been
achieved, and the independence of tho na
tion acknowledged, of organizing a con
stitutional government of the United Status,
in a majority of the States of the Union
the black men voted with white men, and
the man who denies it is simply igno
rant of the history of his own coun
try. This invention that it ia a "white
man's Government" is simply anew in
vention, discovered Id that same school of
modem Democracy in which was reared
the doctrine of secession and armed revolt
asrainst a beneficent Government. New
York, twenty years later, altered her Con
stitution of 17 1 7, which made all her inhab
itants citizens and entitled to equal politi
cal rights, so as to impose disabilities on
black men in the electoral franchise, l'enn-
8Ivnnia altered her ancient system of Gov
ernn eat, under Democratic insti nmeutnlity,
in 18 17. IN' rt iUurolniH, w hich gavo black
men the right tovnte at fb et.olmt'ced in 1830,
So, you sea how the ih mge was brought
at o it. 1 ndinit that the slaves iu the then
States i f he Uuiou were not perm fed to
enjoy any i f the piivi'cgea of freeinon. Hut
it was not by force t-f the Coi stitution of the
United Stales that they wero deprived of
their rights. They wore simply held in the
original States, independent of thelotmtitn
tiou, in slavery, as they had been anterior
to tho formation of that instrument, lint
wherever tho black population was free, in
a majority of the States, they were citi
zens, and participated in achieving inde
pendence, and in establishing a Constitu
tion by voting for tho delegates who framed
it or ratified it.
What has taken place T These slave
States engaged in armed revolt.' The mo
m tilt they organized rebellion, that moment,
according to the Constitution, it bee me
the right of the American people lo Btrike
off the fottors from every slave iu the land,
and summon them to the defense of the na
tion's life. The Government did do it.
Abraham I.incol ' proclaimed, liberty
throughout all your borders. . These men,
emancipated from their thraldom, rushed
to the defense cf your flag, and your armies
bore witness that 17n,Jl)0ot the lilaok pop
ulation, made free -by the reclamation of
I bai ty, were iu the army of the republic
Wlieu you couxidor that the mi-jority of
the. black population were the slaves of
rebelit, and within thoir territory, Unable
to signify to the 'United States Government
their williiiguesB. to serve it, tho fact that
as large a proportion of the black popula
tion us of the' free whites rushed to the
defense of your flag, speaks well for their
patriotHim. In refercnoo to this, what said
Geneiul Sherman T "Tho band that lava
down the musket must b permitted to take
up the ballot. Hint was the soldiers
opinion, the patriot's opinion, ,,.
. I3ut these Democrats ure whining through
the streets t '' You propose t cufranohhe
the nigger and disfranchise the white man."
That is the point where the difficulty in. ' I
think the black patriot is as much entitled
to vote as Jeff. Davis, who is w. i ing acrosi
the border, or any ot bis followers. Uiu
issue is upon us. Une third ot the whole
I opulatiou of tho South arc black freemen.
lliey are friends of the Union; and it they
aieto be permitted to lo oaiu free, they
must be permitted to-exorcise the rights
of freemen. Those States" must have a re
publican government, but how can a 8 ntj
be republican in its government where the
minority rule over the majority ot the nat
ural burn citizens of the State?. I waut
some Democrat to cypher that out. In
South Corolina the black population exceed

sort of a republican government will that
be, if the. white minority, who are traitors,
should rule the majority, who are, loyal
men f It is just as well, now we are at it,
te establish justice every where 'n the land.
And we Bay that all who have npheld the
power of our arms, or contributed by taxa
tion to its support iu peace, ought lo be
permitted to exercise the only remaining
duty of citizenship, the privilege of voting
at the poils. I think it is the puro democ
racy of tho century iu which we live.
The people of tho Ui.i od States, have to
get rid of that bastard Democracy which
would disfia'ichise every seventh man
on account of his complexion. There is
not a man within' the hearing - of my
voice, but v.ill admit, if the negro's com
plexion was white, lie shpu d b a'Lwe.i
to vote. In God's name, why should that
mike any difference, if he is known to
have stood shoulder to shoulder . with
you in all the struggles that have made
and saved this Rupublio? Don't you think
a good rule, that '' whatsoever ye would
men should do unto you, do ye even bo Unto
them?" You have the power, because of
your superior . numbers; to disfranchise
four millions of natural born citizens of the
Republic. Suppose the state of things
weie revet sJ, and the black men had
the power, would you have them deal
thus with you und your cl i dren ? If you
woulinot, you should not doul thus with
thtra. . . . ..
These gentlemen Bay they are for the Con

fathers save lis. Let thero real in the
forefront of that instrument, those, words
that should be written this day upon the
lintels of every door iu the land: "We
the people of the United States, in order

and equal political rights amongst ail natur

simple justice. Therefore I am for it snj
Handing for it t but imitate the great
majority Of the people, who, in 1787, foi miul

The Constitutional Amendment.
In a recent speeoh at Columbus, ITon.
8. Sutu.ABxaoKB thus spoke of the I'cn
atitutional Amendment, and the justice in
volved In the measure t
I have alluded to the Btrange fidelity to
our Government, du'r'ng and sines tho War
of the colored race. I have said that to
have,' In our., methods of reconstruction,
placed this loyal race under tho heel nf the
rebel race, and to have deprived them of
the civil and political power necessary to
their existence and protection as a race,
would have been an example of ingratitude
and humanity nut matched in the practice
of any civilizod government a wioked
r.ene which, if we may learn aught by the
retributions of God which we were made
to feel on account of onr treatment of these
people during the war, would have brought
to our nation either extinction or uew dis
aster, lint it would have been a sirange
folly. Than we ware anxious, soon as
possible, to restore to these States loyal
republican governments, and to complete
again our glorious Union of the States.
These Slato governments must, by an ex
press term of the Constitution, be Repub
lican, that is, must be founded upon the
assets and euftrages of the great body of
the people We had found, by the over
whelming proofs to which I have e.'.'uded,
that the whito race, ns a body, remained
as Intousely disloyal as ever, and through
thnm the nation. We found there a raco
exhibiting to our Government a devotion,
fidelity, love, having, undor their strange
circumstances, no parallel in the history of
governments, and a raco which, at call, and
soon as permitted, sent two hundred thous
and soldiers to our army. To have re
jected from all power in those State this
faithful aud loyal race, to have put them
and tho governments exclusively under the
power of the traitors yet hating and
smeared with the blood of the republic,
would have been the sublimity of madness.
We did not do it. And now in the won
derful fidelity of (hie race to our Government
I find an argument for bis enfranchisement
iu Ohio which, it seems to me, no patriot
can afford to overlook. I find, moreover
in tho fact that wo wero forced by irresist
ible considerations of safety and right to
enfranchise him in the South a reason why
we in Ohio should enfranchise him also,
and not declare' to the world that we will
compel our Southern white citivtena to en
dure iu their State a vote so large as to
compose half of tho people, yet bo degraded
that seven thousand ot them, in a vote of
five hundred thousand, endangers or in
jures Ohio I here are two considerations,
then, to my mirj irresistible, why the
amendment should be adopted.
INTEI.MOKNCK A IKST t'OB VOTINO.
It is argued that thene people lack the
requsito intelligence for electors. I have
already said that they did not la; the
requisite intelligence to remain, as an entire
race, the friends of our beloved Govern
ment) in its time of peril ; aud this at places
where it was not safe so to remain, be-
cauae al) other men had become the Gov
ernment's iinplaeiihlo ,foen.., They did not
luck tho lntclligeuoo which, led them1 to
help our, starving or. wounded soldiers
whenever they cou.ll. .They did ,not lack-
the intc!l'gei)ce which lad them to, go, two
hundred . thousand strong, into our army j
nor the intelligence requisite to make them
Vote on tho side of loyalt v, the other day
at. Washing tou and .in Tennessee. Dut
grant that they, lack intelligence, let us
adopt the amendment, and then, tl that be
right, apply a reading, or some other test,
to all voting. Ignorance in it whito voter
is as dangerous as in others. , ...
SEPARATION OF THE RACES.
Ifr! Vailand igham tel's us and we 1 Die
to hear from that gentleman, especially ou
the subject .ef. .-being exuludod from our
country, as he understands that that it
ia pot a question ot intelligence or of which
is the superior race, bub that God has made
the black raco so different from the. white,
that the whito ought alone to vote, and
tho other ought tn leave, or if stay, not to
take Dart in our affairs. Now this is a dis
covery. We once did have in Ohio "black
laws," ono express object of which wuv !j
do what Mr. Vullundigham. wants to do, by
not letting, the negro vote, that is, drive
him out ot Ohio, lint Mr. ullaudighaiu
aud his party repealed these hies, thereby
inviting them to come to Ohio, to be wit
nesses and suitors in courts, to have their
schools, churohes, homos, and all the civil
rights of our' pepple.. , Besides,' there are
other racf;s, as the Jew, who do not mingle
with, ours in, ruarriego .or. aooially. Are
they for that reason to bo diivou off ? .
EQUALITY WITH THE NEGRO.
lily fellow citizens, how uhuttorly stupid
liny, how self-degrading all' this talk is
about your beiug degr;ylod to ,a,n quality
in moral, sociat, intellectual or any other
rehpect, with any other man Of any race.
bccaiiBO our Governmenf'hapjicnB to accord
to him aud he exorcises the rights of a mau
in remmon with you,
Tha colored' man fs now, by law; " an
American cit'zon," and an audi ia entitled,.'
equally with myself, to all the rights grow
in' out of citizenship. This citizenship
entitles hiiu to eat bis bread, hold his land,
own h's child, havo his wifo. breathe our
air, buo In our courti", enforoo his conti'aots,
tcitrfy. as 'a witiiOBB, demand protection
from his Government, maruh and fight under
our flag, and to do all oihosr things whicb
free citizens of right may do. To ull those
he is, before tho law, a mnch entitled as
yon. But because the poor negro, like
myself, marries a wife,has a home,' owns
his children,, eats" bread, fighl for bis
country and pays taxes, am I brought down
to his equal ? , If I am, I was pretty easily
lowered. No,' my felloy citizens, all this
twaddle about our beiug made the negro's
equal because he gets a freeman's right
under our grand and Leueficent Govern
ment, is unworthy of us. , . ,'
Let us, Americans, arise to the dignity of
being iUsT. We are about to consummate
the work which it has been the high, mis
sion of our party to do. In that work was
included the reaolte of the republic from an
overthrow by a stupendous and most foul
tie;' son; the rescue of a continent from the
spread, and at last from the polluting pre
sence of human slavery! the elevation of
the four millions of slaves to being Ameri
can cilizVna rind friends and' defender of
the republic; the re-ustablishment of the
Government, by restoring, with free Con
stitution, each State to a renewed Uoiyn
new iu its strength and new iu ite glury,
because new iu its equal justice to all its
people, and new in the love of its people,
fie.ch, men of America, has been the work of
the Union party. . Let us now make the
work symmetrical and complete, by make
ing symmetrical, complete, indestructible,
the sublime and awful structures of the
national edifice, laying their foundations
and the foundation of every State, io tbe
equal love and devotion of equal men
made equal lu security by just and equal
lvs. -
But, fellow ctiions, I leave this greet
subject by .appealing to another .visvv
ooiiclusiv with all Rood men. Thia
Aniondrhciit is BloUr.' Uy the Doclaratiou
of lalcj'cudcnce it ?9 right, rvhili deeUtea
rocu equal, fiy the principles of our fath
ers, who permitted these people to vote
in every State but three at the origin of onr
Government, it is right. By the holiest
principles of the common law, which pro
tects alike tho high and lowly, rich and
poor, it Is right ' By the highest rules o(
honor amongst men, which makes an ex
alted Bout acorn to put by law or Other
wise weight and burdens upon the poor
not borne by others, to heop down him and
aud his child in their, at best, hard conflict
with tho Ills of this hard world, it is right.
By the plainest rnle .of just government
which will uot deny tho rights of citisen
ship to any of it children, merely be
cause they may have an unfortunate de
formity, of person, an Unfortunate siio,' an
unfortunate disease, or an unfortunate
complexion, it is right, Kay, more than
all, and above all. by the very qualities of
God's attributes, who hath respect to the
poor, ami of his govornnient, whioh re
specie th hot persons, this Amendment i
right. '
The Duty of the Hour.
The Republicans of the nation are now
called upon to grapple with the remaining
power of the rebellion, in the person of
Andrew Johnson. It is no longer a matter
of doubt, as to what this man. who a Act
ing 1'rcBidcnt has disgraced himself, pro
poses to do. The only question is as to
what ho can do. ' "
. It ia generally supposed that Congress
tied his hands, and therefore he is com
paratively powerless. If he were a con
scientious man, thia would be a reasonable
snd safe conclusion ; becauso, in that event
he would seek to execute the laws in their
letter and spirit. But bo is not a - consci
entious man. lie is, on the contrary, de
pfnvcd to the lowest level of wickedness,
and be mean to Bet at defiance the lawa of
Congress and exeoule his will. Congress
decided that the Southern States are not in
tho Union, and created a military agency
lor their reconstruction. The President
asHumoB that the Southern States are ill the
Union, nnd subject only to civil authorities.
So long as ho morely assumed this, and did
not undertake1 to carry out his viewl, no
great ljurm was apprehended; but new be
seems to bo getting ready to disregard the
lawa of Congress, and to put his policy in
force. ' ,
The fii-Rt step in this direotlon is th re
moval of the Department Commanders, and
the appointment of men who will receive
his orders instead of those of General Grant.
How far he will tuccend in this remains to
be seon ; but if he can remove Sheridan,
and appoint Hancock in his place, he can
icmove , llanoock if tho latter will not an
swer his purpose , , . ; .
Thus he has it in his f ower to do n groat
doal of misrhlef before tho 21st of Novem
ber, -when Congress reassemble, and he
may even undertake to resist by forco the
meeting of that body, He is in full sym
pathy with the conspirators who forced
tho country into war ; and be can command
the bad element that surrounded the Na
tional Capital in April, 18G1,. What he
mav attempt, therefore, it is impossible to
say ; but the people should hold themselves
in a condition not to be surprised by any
measure however rash, however desperate'
or wickod. ..The acting -President, two bo
iiove; to be.prjual to .tho very .worst that, it
is possible , for. In in to attempt, ana from
him the ;poople have nothing good to ex
pect. 1 " '' ' "''
It is well Rfinwrl .that the Cabinet is on
the point of falling to piece. . Desperate
etlorts havo been made, by the unscrupu
lous men ,tllat .JohnBon js .calling urbund
him', to secure a reconstruct'bn of the Cabi
net, and these are likely to' be Buccn'ssful.
Die now minister will of course be tn full
sympathy with the President, and will oo.
operate with hill) in tho ex&outidn of hia
schemes. ,
In view of this alarming atate of affair?,
tho Republican of the nation should nilly
once again: and collie forward in all their
strength to the rescue of the country. Minor
uiiTcrenceB ana minor questions aru o oe
laid aside, io order that a great moral victo

have peace. Cincinnati GuieUo, , ,,
A Bull Story, with a Moral.
[From the N. Y. Tribune. ]
Let ns tell the President a homely story.
Year ago. .in Westchester County . there
lived a noted bull, lie was a conservative
animal. lie , believed in the. tradition of
the fathers, and had risen from an humble
station to be a bull of etreiigth and temper,
fit for the proudest arena oi Spain..- ilia
life , was fixed. , Ho. detested Radicalism.
He twupg round and fdiiud his circle from
day to day, like a wise1 and resolute bull,
calmly contemplating the wagon, and 'ox
Cart tbe lumbering stage and tho idd fam
ily carriage. . By-aud-by a railroad was laid,
and one morning a locomotive rushed
screeching along, Tho bull was alarmed.
He had never heard of such a thing: ' It
was unconstitutional. H was contiaiy to
the teaching of the fathers.. Tho Wash
iugtoh of the bulls bad never mentioned if,
and the' Jefferson of bulls he fult would
have Condemned it had he lived. Thore
never was a bull o agitated, bo vexed, so
maddened, so alarmed. Hp would willingly
uotlr hihiBelf out as a libation fur the coed
of bin race', but this Radical innovation' he
oould not endur. So he bellowed and
kicked, and pranced, but all was unavail
ing, as so many vetoes. One day bo es
caped from, bin pon. i ;lle heard the iwliistle.
Now was his opportunity. Now, would he
put his foot dowij, and stop the calamity. (
Tho train came thundering nhng, and plac
ing himself in the middle of the track, be
rushed uptiu it- , , . , -
We believe . locomotive's ptill , run in

this cannot be done. The amendment will
not effect this matter one way or the other,
The schools will stand on the same footifg

Our people should meet this falsehood
wherever the enemy are dix.t'iuiiiating it.
