for the reason that its adoption will i .
elude them from political office, which
prohibition to their participation in
political all'airs can only be removed by I
a vote of two-tiurds of Congress. 'Ibis
argument is as untrue as it is ungener- j
ous. So far from talcing an active part
against the adoption of the amendment,
the Southern leaders, ns a mass, have
not appeared in public on the question.;
It would naturally he expected lhatj
any body of men would object to the
wholesale proscription of the class to
which they’ belonged, hut the indica
tions of public sentiment have been so
elearnnd satisfactory, and it lias been
so apparent from the lime, of the pas
sage of the amendment in Congress
that it would not receive the. indorse
ment, of a single Southern State, that J
the leaders, as they are termed, have
been content to leave their fate in the
hands of the people, besides itisnot,
only the leaders of the rebellion who
are brought within the range .of 1 he ;
amendment. A very large proportion]
of the masses are also obnoxious to its
provisions. The argument of Northern
journals on this point is made precisely
as if the proscription of so large a pro
portion of the Southern people was the!
only objectionable portion of the
amendment, when the fact is that there!
are three other provisions quite as odi-!
ous. The proposition to impose negro !
suffrage on the Southern States, or to
cut down their representation liot.li jn j
Congress and in the electoral college, is
equally offensive, because it is quite as
unjust; while the attempt made in the
llrst clause to deprive the States of all
jurisdiction over the question of citizen
ship, and Hie authority conferred in the
last clause to adopt all legislation which 1
may he necessary to carry the provision.- 1
of the amendment into efl'eel, are dan- 1
gcrous and alarming innovations upon 1
(he republican system.—[Louisville 1
Courier.
The Forthcoming Message.
A Washington correspondent of the ]
Cincinnati Enquirer, who probably lias !
the run of the White House kitchen, 1
gives the following as the principal points ■
uf the forthcoming message of President
Johnson :
First, its tone is (for the message is al j
ready written) conciliatory, or more prop-j.
erly it may he said to be fair, yet firm and ! (
free from the defiant temper which some -
have supposed Mr. Johnson could indulge ! <
in, and again, those who are under the
impression that the President is deter *
mined to carry out what is termed “my 1
policy,” will be deceived if they expect in
the message propositions looking to the
further prosecution, of that policy, for Mr t
Johnson does not admit that any part of" j |
his policy of restoring the Southern States \
remains to be done so far as the executive <
has the power to act. He claims that all ’
that remains unfinished of his plan is the *
admission of the legally elected loyal rep- '
rcSentatives, and that work belongs solely i (
to Congress.
Since -Mr. Johnson has occupied the ,
presidential chair he has not deemed any j
further amendments to the constitution 1
necessary: but in the forthcoming message, <
in view of the exigencies of the day, Mr.
Johnson will recommend several matters
as subjects to be embraced in proposed ;'
amendments to that instrument. Among
them may be mentioned the abolishment ;
of the electoral college, and the election ol
president and vice-president directly by *
the voters at large, without regard to 1
State boundaries.
Another amendment suggested is the '
election of United States senators by the i ,
voters at large, in the several States, in- ,
stead of electing them by tlie State legis
latures ; and still another amendment i
named is the appointment of judges of the t
United States Supreme Court for the term 1
of twelve years each, one-third of the on- ’'
tire number to be appointed every four1'
•ears. These amendments were suggested ;
•me years ago iu the United StateiSen- j
:, by Mr. Johnson, while be was a mem- |
of that body. i
'lie amendment proposing the election \
oi ' esident by the voters at large, in the >
. •• on of Mr. Johnson, will effectually j *
a Jc the question of suffrage within *'
th tes, by making it of imperative in- J
tv u hat each State includes as many _
s possible, and thus, in proper s
. ihe franchise will he extended to the ,
colored people. t
There arc some who 1 die re the Brest- 1
dent will discuss the universal amnesty ’
question, and propose seine action thereon J
by Congress, but those bos' advised under
stand that Mr. Johnson holds that, un- ,
der the constitution, the executive has the
sole power to grant amnesty and pardon,. 1
and therefore he will not pr yj-e any ac-1 1
tion on that subject by Congress. •
