The Constitutional Amendment.
What It Is.
The first article of section fifth of the
Constitution of the State of Ohio is now as
follows :
Every iohti male citizen of the United Stales
of the age of twenty-one years who shall have
been a resident of the State one year next prered
ing the election and of the county, township or
ward, in which be resides, such time as may be
provided by law, shall have the qualifications of
an elector and be entitled to vote at all elections.
The last Legislature hy a vote of three
fifths of each Hoiihu proposoil, an J has rub
milted to the people for adoption, the fol
lowing article as a substitute for tho article
abovo quoted : -
Every male citizen of the United States of the
age of twenty-one years, who shall have been a
resident of the State one year next preceding tho
election, and of the county, township or ward in
whieh he resides Buch time as may be provided by
law, exoopt such persons as have borne arms in
support of any insurrection or rebellion against
ine uovernment oi the united stales, or have ned
from their places ot residence to avoid being draft
ed into the military service thereof, or have desert
ed the military or naval service of said Govern
ment in time of war and have not subsequently
been honnrablv discharged from tho samo, sbail
have the qualifications of an elector and be entitled
to vote at all elections'
Effect of the Amendment.
It will admit to the n'lit ot voting oil
oitiKens of tho United Stated, living in this
State who proved theiiiaelvcH good and
fuithful ciliieua in tho time ot the natioi.'e
tiinl.
It will shut out from Ihe privilego of
yotiitg only those Who Justly forfeited it
by showuig themselves faithh sa in their
duty by joining the armies of the rebels,
deserting Irum -the army of patriots, r
leaving the country to escape nerving it
in short, traitors, cowards and sneak.
Why the Amendment Should be
Adopted.
CiniMiitutinn of Ohio will
then conform to the Republican principle,
"Governments derive their just power"
fiom the couscLt of the governed," which
t now violated.
Because, the Constitution of Ohio will
then conform to the Republican principle,
"Taxation without representation is Ijiau
ny," which it now vioiutes.
Becaust the Constitution of Ohio will
then conform to the Republican principle.
"Equality in political rights," which it
now violates.
Because the Constitution of Ohio will
then conform to tho standard of republican
government, which the nation lias ostub.
lislied in all the territory under its exclu
sive control, which it requires of all States
seeking admission to the Union, and which
it enforces iu the States now undergoing
feolxanistion.
Because it will admit to the exercise of
u just right men who are entitled to the
nation's gratitude for aiding in Its preser
vation. Becaute it will offer to a clans of citizens
now depressed and discouraged, the
strongest motive to be industrious, intelli
gent, virtuous and patriotic
Becaute it wiil relieve law-abiding citi
ieus froiu a proscription which ranks them
on par with criminal.
Because the present discrimination
sgainst a class in the community is the
remnant of a prejudice engendered by tho
existence of slavery, and which OiiKbt to
die With tl.e institution that nourished it.
- Becausi it will abridgo the privileges ol
no patriotic citizen; while it will increase
the usefulness and dovolion of many.
Becaute it will strengthen the Union
efeutiment and fortes.
Becaut the rebel and Copperheads
dou't want it adopted.
Objections to its Adoption.
" It allows negroes to vote,"
God has given them reason and speech
which marks them as men. They are able
to accumulate property, pay taxes, yield
obedience to the. laws ami defend the
State, whictl is what Govcrment requires
of the citizen. The only proper dinquali
Mention fur the privileges of citir,en-hip in
our Gbveintnent Is ciiine. Color ! i 0! a
crime, ami it is us reasonable that ' color
should cxcuie a man from his duties to the
Slate, as that it should exclude him from
its privileges. In slavery the nero was
forced lo serve his master without wages.
We condemn thai as unjust. The high
privileges of a citizen are the wnges the
Sate pttys for .fuithlul porlormaioe of a
citizen s duties, and when a State Withholds
at y part of the wagos it becomes to that
ex tout a tyrant. Let us purge Ohio of this
yianny.
"It will establish sicinl equality.",
This is a bug-bear, intended to frighten
men of weak inindp, and has no more sub
stance than a ghoat. Every white, niau
knows that he is politically the equal of his
white neighbors ; and ho knows too, that
the matter of social equality is wholly reg
ulated and determined by other considera
tions. No man whom he don't wai t there
can, because a voter, clu m adiir'ssiott to
his homo circle, and he, al tlmimli a vi tor,
can establish himself iu no sooiul circle,
where, he is lint wanted.
"It will proinoto miscegenation."
This is another biu-beur. The reality in
that this ovil has flnuii.shed moat where
the inequality of political condition has
been greatest. Every advance of the
t,ej;i'o ruco iu civ'.liz ition, strengthening
selfiespect, and every arouisition of in
ductee, enahln: it to wi hstui d then!
luieuientH of the white man's power, has
ninde the wl ite mnn's couqeest more diffi
cult, which in just what tin-Be men who cry
out " miscegenation" to frighten people,
don't waut should happen.
"The colored men are Ignorant, and not
fit to vote'"
This is a pure assumption, and it might
bo successfully maintained that tho coloird
men of Ohio' are as well informed as somn
other classes of citizens. Hut tho law does
not prescribe any degree of intelligence for
white men, and the men and the party now
insisting that the negro shall possess a
certain degree of intelligence will b" the
lust to consent lo the application ot any
such test, by law, to other citizens, whether
native or natural zed. The negro will not
complain of any standard of litness which
shull bo impuitiul in its application to all
men.
' Wa Bhall be subjected to negro rule."
Shall we? "Figuics don t lie." Let us
lopk at the figures. There are 490.000
white peters in the Slate, aud not over
7,000 dqlnred men who will bo made voters
if the Aini hdinent ts adopted. That is,
there will be seventy votes cast by white
men for every one vote cast by a colored
num. We shall never seo in this Slate an
election n which b ss than 1.1,01)0 ballots
are cftNt, but such a thing must huppen bo
fnio tho colored man, uh a ch"-8, carry any
measure against tho white men. . ,
" The Amendment will disfranchise white
men."
Not became thoy are white men. It will
disfrai chise criminals. Rohels, deserters,
and sneaks who fled the country to escape
sorviti)' it, whether white or black, are
criminals by the laws uf the United Suites.
If a majority of tlitsni are white it's a pity.
Hut that circumstance ought not to. shield
the guil'y from the Operation of on impar
tial law, which lieclares that any men guilty
of these crimes have forfeited their piivi
lege of participating with bravo and sacri
ficing patriots in governing the country
they failed to support protect and defend.
' lint many trne and brave soldiers who
left the army when the rebels surrendered
under a mistaken idea of the conditions ol
enlistment, have been classed as deserters,
and this amendment will disfranchise
them."
Not at all. Congress, during tho extra
80-si on lust July, passed, the following law:
Bt it enacted, f o., That do soldier or sailor
shall bo taken or held to be a deserter from the
army or navy, who fa'thfnlly served, according lo
his enlistment, until the 18th dav of April, lRfti,
and who, without proper authority or leave first
ootainca, am quit his command, or reiuse tn serve
after said dale . This act shall
be construed srilel.y as a removal of any disability
sneh soldis Jr Sailor may have incurred by the
loss of his citizenship in consequence ot bis de
sertion.
'Ibis law expressly provides that every
honorable . soldier who fought the good
fight through to Ihe end, shall enjoy ull the
privileges of citizenship, one of which is
the right to vote.
Conclusion.
These are all the objectiors to the
Amendment that are urtred with any show
pr pretense of plausibility-, aud no one of
them has anv Inundation in truth except
t!i' objection on the uroiiml of color, and
this is an objection started, hut by juxtico,
nor by wisdom, nor by a record lor our
Ifinciples ol Iree government, cor by com
mon charity -but by nn unworthy and mis
gniding prejudice, which arose Under the
sway ol a debasing ineittutiim now fiwept
from the land. Does it become us to fos
tor ami perpetuate thedise tses with Which
it infected our political system f ' Ought
we not rather to l id ourselves of thbin as
quickly as we have an opportunity T
On the other hand, a strong array bf con
siilei atious have been presenivd in favor of
the adoption of this Amendment, all ol
which are in accordance with the spirit of
our iiiHtitulione, with the demands df im
partial justice, with the impulses of hu
manity, and with the precepts Uf the Ser
mon on the Mount.
In a perilous hour of the natititi's history ,
n.iniel Webster appealed to (He people of
New England and the whole North to " con
quer their prejudice' against the guilty
slaveholder. Now, In an equally perilous
hour, nobler voices than that of Webster
the voices of justice and pat' iotism up
p al to us to " Conquer oilr prejudices"
against the guiltless race that was once en
slaved, snd to make bur woik of emancipa
lion complete and enduring.

Never before since Ohio was a Ha to has
she seen so important and Interesting m
campaign as the one which her people have
just no entered, Never before were the
voters ol Ohio called upon to act upon such
important measures aud to decide questions
of such interest to the future welfare of otir
country. And never before was there such
activity on the pnrt of the loyal people in
the political issue of the campaign, aibl
such interest manifested iu the result of
the pending canvass.
Tho questions at issue have nil boon de
cidod before the last dreadful tribunal
known to nations and people, but the con
quoted are unwilling to submit to the de
cision, and come again before the people
with issues that wero settled In blood at
Gettysburg, at Atlanta, and at Cedar Creek.
They say the wur has settled nothing. They
say that our three hundred thousand sol
diers have diod for naught, aud seek to re
new the contest which Grant and Lee set
tied at Appomattox, upon the stump iu
Ohio by a contest between Hayes iid Thur
man. Hut our friends are not to be deceived by
this effort. The war line effectually aud
forever settled the great ' principles on
which ti was fought. Wo know well why
our opponents seek so industriously to
open up Ihe old issues. As tho record stands
tho sum of their infamy is lull. Iu the fu
ture they see neither foigetfnlness nor for
iveness for their crinns,1 They have com
mitted the unpardonable sin, and posterity
miiNt abhor them while language endures,
and history remains.
Iu spite of all this, wo soo a rcoont Con
V'litionof the Contedorato Democracy in
Ohio adopting the doctrine of the right of
Beoersion as its cardinal principle, and
standing thereon, appealing for the votes
of sensible people. The public) sentiment
of the ago is outraged by tho speeches of
their leaders juatilyiug the rebellion and
glorying in their shameful record dining
the war. Tho atandard-benrer of that
party was tho well-known friend -of the
rebel soldier while our civil wnf was lag
ing fiercest. That party supported a con
victed traitor for the highest office in the
State Government, whilu tho nation he had
couspired against was tottering to destruc
tion. Vet the infamy of all this brings no
blush of shame to their choeks. They exult
in their treason, and seek to justily their
criminal record.
On the oti er band, the Republican party
regards tho issues of tho war as settled
finally and forever, lly its action the lia
tiou was saved, and by its nctiou alone can
it be restored. The measures mo esuiy
for this restoration are nlone iu issue, and
ennstitnie our only platform of principles.
Loyal reconstruction we claim as the great
panacea for the nation's ailings. Those
who lought on the right Bide in battle,
must be granted the right and privilege to
voto on the right side in peace. ; Those
who had faith in tho Republic in the daik
days of the rebellion, uud stood firm, must
havo the reward of their fidelity - when
their firmness haB triumpictl.
The eyes of the whole people of the
country tiro, upon n, and, our t-IToi ts are
regarded with unwonted Interest.' To Ihe
laonrs of our opponents, and with strong
est hopes fur their, success are turned the
eyes ot all the unruponlant rebels who
starved our soldiers; tortured our wounded;
robbed our dead ; stobi our property; deso
lated our country ; and butuhered out' loyal
friends ull Over the South. Upon the bati
hers -of the Union hosts reels the imploring
eyes of the widows and the orphans whom
tho rebellion has beielt; the, maimed sur
vivors of the war; the fathers of those boys
wIiiiko emaciated loi ins were buried in Ihe
foul stockade, and ull thut glorious band
which through evil and through good le
port faithfully rallied round 1 he flag thro'
youra ol hardships, nivation and Mood.
The sympathies ot those men who never
rejoiced at a Rational victory during ' tho
war are with our opponents. Party lines nre
drawn us they were then: There are but
two party lines now.es there were but two
during the war: patriots aifd traitors. No
man need hesitate a moment which side he
will choose, fur there are tlo heW Issues ex
cept those thut have crown out of the war.
Tho vigor and' determination of our
frit n 1 sis tl e surest augury of success. The
Ueui'iciat c press atT'Cts to believe '.hit it
indicates fear, and one paper the other day
was guilty of the absurd expression that if
we were not certain ol deteut we wohld not
work eo b ird. They must bo in a desperate
strait to utter so bare-taced an : absurdity.
No intelligent, well informed Republican en
lei tuina any doubt of our success, that the
innuiDBe efforts put fortli ere to insure the
more complete overthrow of the miserable
traitors that oppose us. . .. t
Let o tr friends be, not deceived by the
tricks of the unscrupulous opposition I Let
the party of repudiation bo repudiated' by
the people-at the ballot box I ' Let those
men who wero traitors in war be branded
as such through ihe remainder of -their
miserable lives I Keep always in-mind
their actions (lining the rebellion, and
judging by thai, beware of all their profes
sions now that their treason hue failed.
Our friends in the South implore us by
the Valor of our Soldiers iu battle; and by
the memory of th'ise who fell, to slutid fust

men as those who aflor the first battle of
Bull Run, when the whole Union was in
mourning, and when sorrow and sadness

shouts of joy and lit bonfires in our streets,
and howled and made the air hideous with
yells on acionnt of the achievements' of
the so'csllod Southern Confederacy,
The mon who rode over nly own State
and other States burning hniWs, and mur
dering innocent citixens, ahd driving others
away from their homes tn seek refuse on
the banks of the Ohio ; men who fol'owed
John Morgan through your own Slate,
plundering your people and committing all
manner of depredations, these are the men
who rule and have power in Kentucky to
day ; these are the men who have been
placed ill authority and positions of honor
there, and who to-day control matters there.
Yet that is what men are pleased to call a
Democratic State. "

Thai, my fellow oitizaus. is the Question
before you lo duy. tt narrows itself down
to merely this : Whether this great nation
ot ours will alter tuo Ion;, bloody and ter
rible war of nearly five years' existence;
after having lost by the calamities -of war
iieiirly a half million of mon, and millions ol
trensure whether, I say the great loyal
people ot tilts land wiil so sttlltily them
selves before tho world as by their verdict
at the polls, to say all-attracts were wrong;
whether we will insult the memories ol
three hundred thousand slain Bol librs of the
Hl'pul boj whether we will throw dishonor
oyer more than fifteen hundred "thousand
sui'vivii c heroes of- the contest ; whether
we will mllict dishonor on the widows ai fl
orphans of our t.unl and say th.it these
murderers of their hn-.hamts and fathers
deaerve all the places of honor iu this Ru
public, and that tho men who crushed out
Irouaon and rebellion shall hat: not B ol
the honors of pbsition and power.. That is
the issue, and all of it. Turn it over in any
shape you limy, change it in any position
you will, and it resolves itself' back into
this same question :- Shall the rebel party
he restored to power, . and the nation's
heroes, who have gained .such glorious
victories in our laud) be dishonored and
put down? ' . i v ' v
