OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
" Washing ton, DJC, July 2, 1869.
Our weather 'has been very pleasant of
late and . we haVe bad. quite a refreshing
season. of rest after the election excitement.
All goe3 on quiet and the republicans are
calmly performing their duties and there is
no apparent earthquake although certain
old growing democrats foretold upheavals
and destruction to all the world did the
Republicans succeed. ;
A few days ago the British Minister called
on Senor Roberts, the Spanish Minister, and
remained closeted with him for several
hours. Political circles arc much exercised
to ascertain' 'what matters were tallied About
between these two gentlemeD. It is gener
ally believed that the interview was in rela
tion to our neutrality laws, it being appa
rent to close observers that England is
watchiDg with great interest our movements
! in enforcing these laws against Cubans, hav
ing, as theydo, such an important bearing
upon her course in'not enforcing the neu
trality laws during the late rebellion.
The sympathy of the administration is
doubtless with the Cuban patriots, but we
cannot in face of the demands made oiiEna-
laud permit volunteers or ships to leaye our
ports to aid the Cubaus, who as yet; are
merely in rebellion and not acknowledged
by .any power as beligerents.
The Howard University. The closing
exercises of the Howard University were
deeply interesting and many visitors to the
capital express great delight at the progress
made by students who were but yesterday
,6crfs and bondmen. The city ot Wilming
ton was well represented by Mr. G. Z. JVIab
8on who is thus mentioned by the Washing
ton Chron ide as taking part in the .discus
Bioii on divorces'.
Mr. Mabson, in the negative, dwelt elo
quently on the divinity ot marriage and its I
supremacy to human enactments. God has
reserved to himself the right to make the
law by which marriage may be dissolved,
andjlatthevv xix, 9, was quoted in defence
of this position. The speaker also held that
legislation operated as an encouragement to 1
domestic strife, which works a perpetual in
jury to society.
jThe closing remarks of .-..General Howard
are well worth prelerving :
This institution has two distinctive fun
damental ideas. One is that starting with
those who have been generally repelled and
excluded, it embraces them, while it holds
out its lamp to every color acq description
of mankind, simply asking mental "and
moral fitness. The second idea is that the
brother and sister need not part at the col
lege door, and have a right, if they so
caoosei to a knowledge ot the professions.
-"We. meet and must meet like all other new
enterprises, a twofold opposition. It is mis
representation and misunderstanding, ifow
the assault -is upon our pupils ; now! the

and " amalgamation." It is said among
certain learned men that there is a singular
dream prevailing iu this country at this
time it is the u dream of equality." This
dream is imputed to us. The imputers'are
not wise, for it is .they that are dreaming
while wrapped in the troubious slumbers of
age. Were they fully awake they would

equality in personal differences in ;the
mountains, in the hills, in the valleys. Yet
there are rights, such as breathing and
thinking and working, which belong to all.
There are jights which the proud earthly,
dignitary must share equally with the poor
est of us, and one, not the least of them, is
the right to make the most of the faculties
God has given us.; If tho man with a dark
complexion in the race; of life approaches
our. imputer or outstrips him, it but pro ves
his point. I think the honest expression oi
this imputed dreaming is this: "A white
skin iumishes evidence of superior intel
lect1." If he will thus state his proposition
plainly we will meet it. Let him ao as one
f hiy good friends from the South did, sit
a few hours with his ears and his eyes open
in one of our good schools, the University
it you please, and he "will be convinced of
his error, and, if a candid man, be prepared
to join me in a less prejudiced, a truer, no-
bier expression, namely, that the intellect is
not measured or weighed by the complex

Peter did when hia eyes were ' opened, M Of
a truth I perceive that God is no respector
of persons. But in every nation he that!
feareth Him and iWorketh righteousness is
accepted with Him."
Remember, my triends, .Wo do not call this
a commencement, but an anniversary. The
exercises are arranged accordingly,, and, we
trust your expectancy will '. not be gauged

Reconstruction-
A Letter on the,
tion
SltUBi
We have
received the following i . letter
frota our esteemed friend, Dr. Myers :
Jfr. Editor :! promised you before tak
ing your departure from this place that I
would communicate with you regarding one
or two political points. Suppose; we , con-
aiuer nrsi ine r uceenm Amenament to. the
Constitution.! Let us first take up the Dem
ocratic arguments thus : .
1. It is unconstitutional to amend the
Constitution.: ' !
2. The people are the only ones who can
amend it. ' ,
3. The right of suffrage is not a natural
but a political right, and therefore the ne
gro is not entitled to it. ; - r
4. This State - has always refused to re
cognize the j negroes7 rights and therefore
should continue to do so ; and
5. It degrades one race to elevate another.
First it is unconstitutional, say they, to
a menu t ne constitution, i ms naa Deen a
a i V"i a A. a. mi
favorite Democratic argument. You must
not change that instrument, they say, from
the spirit of its original conception, because
you have no power under it but what it
gives you.
m
It is a sufficient answer to all the rhodo-
montade on this question to say that the
Constitution itself provides for its own
amendment. There is no limit imposed by
that instrument oa the amendments that
may be proposed to it. The only limitation
is as to the manner in which these amend
ments shall be proposed and ratified, i The
method for that is pointed out distinctly,
ana a proper regara ior its provisions re
quires that we should adhere strictlv to
them. The United States Government has
no powers under the Constitution but what
the States have given it ; but thero is notb-
i I li fcf X i liib iviJUni 1 1 iii.iiiii iihmii Tfi I iri 1 ill I ii r fir
restrain the States from giving it whatever
powers they choose. If the States choose.
in the mauuer pointed aut by that instru
ment, to give to the general Government the
rights possessed by themselves to regulate
to a limited extent the right of suffrage,
they have a perfect - constitutional right to
QO SO. DUt tlitiV can rlo it. onlv in th wntr
pointed out by the Consti tution itself.
The plea that the people, only by a direct
vote, can grant to the general Government
the power to amend the Constitution is re
plied to thus: The Constitution of the
United States was not ratified by a direct
vote of the people in any of the States, nor
any ot the numerous amendments to it,
which now form a part thereof, yet it is
none the less the work of the people the
original instrument having been ratified by
the State Legislatures and Conventions, and
the amendments bv the Legislatures of the
several States.
I have said there is no limitation as to the
character of the amendments that mav be
proposed to it, and no constitutional excep
tion can therefore be taken to the amend
ment now under discussion. But there is a
limit to the method of its ratification. First,
it must be proposed by two thirds of both
ratified by three-fourths of the States, or by
Conventions in the States, as Congress may
direct. It has accordingly in this manner
been submitted to the Legislatures of the
different States to say whether it shall be
ratified or not ; and sir this is the only way
in wmcn it can oe. ratined. it was not in
their power to submit it to popular vote.
It was simply their duty to ratify or reject
it. For my own part. I think that to have
submitted it to the popular vote would have
been an unconstitutional way of amending
the Constitut.on, and I marvel at the men
who make so much constitutional clamor
proposing a plan at war with the instrument
they profess to venerate so much.
I hsve freauentlv heard the remark made
.hat the right of suffrage is not a natural
but a political right, and therefore those who
.
have it can eive it or withhold it as thev
nlease. It this ricrht is a mere nolitical richt.

men haVe not ? And if they have any from
whom did they receive them ? They doubt
less will replv they received them trom the
Constitution of the State they represent !
Then I ask where did those receive it who
framed the Constitution ? They will reply
" they, were the people, and sovereignty re
sided in them." But what rights had they
which other men had not ? Who gave them
the power to say who should or should not
vote ? It you say it was inherent in them,
it follows that it was also as inherent in the
black men of the land as in them ; and if
you say it was not inherent, 1 asK ior tne
source trom which they received it and I
will ask in yam for a satisfactory answer.
The only answer that can be given is that
the right they exercised came from might.
It was simply the exercise of tyrannical pow
er. Ttaere is no escape from this logic. It
is the inexorable logic of human rights.
Either every man has the natural right to
vote (and all men have the same rights) or
those, who claim to. possess supenor rights
must show the Bunerior source from which
I they draw them. And this brings me to the
crowning argument and the one dwelt
upon with most unction, viz ; that it degrades
one race to elevate another that to elevate
I the negro will degrade the .white man. No
I philosophy could.be falser than this. It is
j a flat contradiction in the teeth of human
experience. ' -If it were . true it would be
I most humiliating to the white race that
thev. superabundant in numbers, rich in
this world's goods, educated, refined, trained
in religious teaching, and endowed with the
untrammelled right to exercise all their own
rights, should be degraded by extending to
a handful of colored men the same rights
they enjoy themselves I If it were truet it is
a race not.worth preserving. But it is not

and then deny it political rights would be
monstrous. The ballot is as necessary to the
black as to the 'white for his protection. He
can nave no, adequate protection without it.
ine one great task oi government is to se
cure men in the enjoyment of their rights
and the heaven ordained instrument for ef
fecting this security is the b allot.
I am in favor of this amendment, there
fore, because it is right : because the " riirht
of suffrage belongs as naturally to the black
as ip xue. wnue man ; Decause our . saiety as
a nation consists in giving instead of with
holding what is due; because having given
the black man his freedom, lie must, " to be
secure in it, have the means : of protecting
it; and because.by its'. adoption; and bj it
only, can we iclnll the true mission of . the
American people of assuring equal and ex
act justice to all men. 1
In :the stnet sense, therefore, we have
never enjoyed the blessings of an unallayed
white man's government, it is impossible
to judge by experience how great they
might be. In the cup of our most spark
ling political prosperity there have always
been some dregs of " negro supremacy," or,
some "slogan " of Kepublicanism or De
mocracy. However slight the visible ad
mixture of African blood in our body poli
tic may have been, it puts an end to all pre
tence that our is, constitutionally, a white
maws government. Our Constitution recog
nizes no race or color as entitled to monopo
lize citizenship, suffrage, or office.
Those who still claim that emancipation
was a blunder which ought to be atoned
for by restoring the colored race to slavery,
are consistent and logical in affirming that
it should not be allowed to vote. But all
Americans profess to recognize the right of
the freed race to be free. As the white man
regards the ballot as the indispensable wea
pon to preserve his own freedom, it devolves
on every advocate ot partial suffrage to show
how black men can maintain their freedom
with any fewer weapons than white men re
quire.
Were not union and equality the verv
fruits of our late struggle ! A fruit which
cost dear, but which must bo guarded as
the most precious of possessions as the
greatest conquest of modern times. The
