The'trticle, there foVe, is ta "be uadcrstood as if this fth section wore appended to each one of the other four.

' , r . " To this, there arc two objections of the most obvious nature: First, that it is a fundamental power of a State of the. Union, never heretofore disputed by any party, to regulate tho right of suffrage among its own population to determine who shall exeroise tho political power of the gov ernment by voting, and who shall not; and that instead of the Fedoral Government -controlling' the States in this' particular and prescribing the qualifications of votert, in the States, our ances-" tors wisely deolared tlialihe exact contrary should be the rule ; and that the Federal electors in each State should be those entitled by its Constitution "to vote for members of the most numerous branch of. the State Legislature.." Second, in tbe langu age of MoCaulcy, that that Constitution (like a coat for the human body) ia best for a State, which best fits its actual condition; otherwise, aa io the case of the garment, you have but to take the measure of the Apollo Belvidere and provide ready made clothing . for all the world.
