Constitutional Amenrlmenti JJi3 I,
The Columbus Journal thus renews its pfo-
i: - :' li !
fession of faith : y p
The Republican party, as a party, believes
in the right of every citizen to a consenting
voice in the Government. It is no mere
privilege, to be taken away at the whim of
majorities, but an inalienable right, ! vvhich
can only be forfeited by natural .or civil
death. The right attaches to all citizens; ot
whatever color, race, or nationality; The
right can no more be taken away because
the citizen is black, than because fie is of
German or Irish, or other nationality. It
does not depend upon the length of the heel,
or the shortness of the hair; it does not at
tach to certain physical conformation, but to
citizenship alone. ' il l
Anv other theory than this carries with it
the possibility of disfranchisement at any
time by' "Government," j or a majority of a
majority, as before shown. The admission
that there is no right jf suffrage only a pri
vilege of voting -carries with it the admis
sion that you, laboring man, may be disfran
chised whenever the majority may dictate -that
you, German, or other naturalized citi
zen, may be deprived of a right to vote
whenever the Van Trumps ot the Democratic
party can so far control public sentiment as
to secure a law to that effect.' I f
It is 'td prevent this, and to secure he re
cognition .-of the doctrine that all just govern )
ment . is founded upon ; the consent ot the
governed, that we have labored for the suc
cess of the constitutional amendment. The

eternal truth and justice, and its rightfulness
is no more changed by the temporary defeat
of the effort to engraft it upon our fundamen
tal law, than the sun is to be put out oy a
cotton umbrella. ! ' I
Certain whey blooded j Republicans; : who
have been carried along :in this movement
against their will, are already opening cry
on the back track. ; They are the drift- wood
of the party, who have by their inertia kept
back our progress so far as in them lies.
They do more harm than as open enemies.
Let them be gone. We have the fight to do
over again, and we want no "cream faced
loons," "trembling in the limbs, and White at
the gills," to breed dismay and doubting
among the ranks. Fall in once more I j Eve
rv man to his place, i I Reform the ranks and
see that the arms are in good condition, and
the ammunition all right.
The Cleveland Leader' in An P article head
ed "Don't Give Up the Ship," exultingly ex
claims when speaking of the heroic attitude
of the Ohio papers " .-.;"::': 5 - ,1-l- f vi ";
Thank God for the manly courage of the
Repbulican press of Ohio. From not one
paper do we hear an uncertain sound on the
great question of equal ! rights, in jissue in
this campaign. Recognizing tne iaci mai
it is defeated, recognizing the; fact, that it
helped to reduce our majority, notjj one of
them is so craven as to advise the abandon
ment of principle because it happens to be
unpopular. '

rial with these " brave t and encouraging
words : . v.: j :

Whfreas,- much trouble and dissatisfaction has
arisen from the m inner in which several persons,
claiming to speak for the Republican party, have
acted, by their words and appeals, and said action
having proven detrimental to the interest; of the
party, whereby the party is misrepresented to
wit : That the Republican party.are setting the
suffrage ot the eolored people for the purpose of
degrading the whites and to establish negro su
premacy, and that in afterwhile, a black man's
party; .And whereas the colored people haying no
such notions or ideas, they deem it proper, just,'
and expedient, in some manner to give ixpres
sion to theh real sentiments on the political
questions of the day, in order that they inay be
folly . understood, and that this rnv prove the
i means by which we can accomplish the great end
viewi ana wiai a tne lature, narmony, recon
ciliation, and good will may prevail, and that we
can be looked upon as meaning truthfully malice

" IResolve first, that the interest of thrjcolorcd
people or this county is in the KepubUcan;
whether North or South, East or West !
Second, we hold that there is no dispos tion on
the part of any intelligent class Of the people to
return us to slavery. - ; .
Third, the time is at hand the roar of the
cannon having ceased the dreadful charge being
over the kettle drum and fife no longer sounding
their warlike strains, and the people, after great
excitement, returning to reason and common
sense when we should survey our positions and
see where we stand ; that we should look First, to
our interest and to that ot "our children. ' Second,
to that of the great mass ot the ignorant people
who have thus suddenly been thrown upon their
own resources as American citizens, and incul- i
cate a proper appreciation of the liberties we
now enjoy, and of our position before the country.
Third, to teach them that freedom brings many
responsibilities, and that to be a good citizen
one must lovethe law, and not break it 1
! That the report in circulation, to wit : j that we
were going to elect men to office for other than
their general fitness, is without foundation; that
our ticket in all elections must be based bn intel
ligence, honesty, and gerieral usefulness
That we have no disposition to encourage the
bugbear 'negro supremacy,' but on the other hand
we look for reconciliation, harmony and good
will, and for education and knowledge,) and we
hope the day is not far distaut when the men of
the South will be as vigorous workers in the cause
of our advancement, as the men in the North;
For this day we continue to look forward with
hope and confidence, and that in the end, the
credit for such may be awarded to the people
South, as well a3 the people North. j
Resolved, That in our opinion, the prejudice in
the minds of individuals relative to our coming!
up in the scale of honest fame, is not general,
and that we believe the sober minds of the nation
to sympathize with us in our struggle, and that
if we continue to so live, that we may be proud
to refer back, and stand honestly by Ithe cause,
we will so continue torise upward and onward.

gifts for health,, strength, and our lives, and
that he may so direct us that we will continue to
honor his name, and so live that peace and good

TRE LOVES OF THE KEYSERS.
William Keyser, the Butcher, and the
' Mary Jane whom he Loved Their
Tender Courtship and
their Marriage.
William Keyser was a robust young butch-;
er, who wore a hat with a crape 3n it and
had red morocco tops to his boots. He was
also of a noble and aristocratic mien , and the
owner ol stall No. 49 in the market He had
an uncle in the marine corps, and his mother
was cross-eyed ;yet, notwithstanding this, he
had connected himself with Hose Company;
No. 54, and his temperament tended to the
bilious, .while his dog was.; a double-nosed
terrier, with a weakness for beet. I
Bill also had a slightly bald head, and he
killed on Tuesdays and. Fridays.
William was in; love, j
And with a girl. i;
While yet in the very prime of liis man
hood, with all the grace and beauty of youth
upon him, and beef selling at. 35 cents a
pound for the good pieces, William b sstowed
his tendere.it affections upon a fair maiden
who resided in the dwelling adjoining his
own.- a : .Hy
Some'eres about 20 summers had shed their
enderest fcaresses upon her head, an
ler education was all that the most
while
casual -
- - A ,
ous could desire, she still weighed 135
on William's scales, and had a ringi
ounds
ma
sical laugh, that affected you like a strain. of
music wafted on the midnight air say like
a glee club straining itself under your win
dow. r f
Her hair was luxuriant and black as night
-any night ! you choose say night ibefore
last : and she mingled the blitbeness of the
lark with the hearty appetite of the ostrich.

Wm. Keyser had given his heart
id she
was- worthy of .his love. I have sal
that
she weighed one hundred and thi
r-five
pounds: , h' ..v..,-T
But sue was not mucn on tue wait:
in the
contrary, she was anxious to be married at
once, and one calm summer evening, when
Bill had. come home trom market, she leaned
her fair young head upqn his heartjand
would nave greasecr nis waistcoat wun pan-
doline, while she told him how ardently, she
desired their union, had it not been that he
still had on his butchers shirt
Our story opens at this interesting period'
With these two lovers in this touching and

' " So, dearest, you have dressed yourself in

William, in accents ot tenderest affection.
" Yes, I've got on my new gored dn
How do you like it, love?" - -
" Ah I beautiful I beautiful! And my dn

clots, of blood upon his shirt - " " '1'-
A few moments of proiound silence elaps
ed. The occasion was too solemn for words.
Then she said Mary Jane was her name-
she said: . - , ' ;

44 With my' whole heart," said William,
and heart now is worth seventeen cents.'
f. And you love none but me ?? she asked
murmuring v. .

Do yon not trust me V

through mv heart sometimes when I think
ot the fickleness of man's aflectien." ;
" But, dearest, did I not reveal my love to
you with vows always to be trues t The fact
that I possess your affection is one of my
chief delights, although . there is an active
demand for lights now, since the dog-catchers
knocked off," r -;r: v" ; I k; z .; " f-
" But perchance some other maiden, more
fair than I, might puzzle yon with herbeau

" Believe me, dearest,! steel myself against
such sirens. No other woman shall purloin
my heart from you. I listen to no tale of
love from other Hps than yours' -
"Oh, Williani 1" exclaimed Mary Jane, as
overcome by her feelings, she bowed her
head and wept tears of tender, heart-felt
joy. ::r --a - ,
"Yes, angel of my soul," continued he "I
cannot hide my love. will marry you, and
you alone, i As Eve was to Adam,, so - you
shall be my rib ; TH wear you Lnext my
heart, as I do this," and he snatched a rib
bon, tied with a true love knot - from t hef
hair, and stuck it on his shirt with a skew-
Its skewerious how silly , these lovers
sometimes . are; :;- --"t:y:-.'x t M-- :
"William, I derive hope and consolation
from your words." Kiss me, and mind you
don't act as if you were sucking j uleps
through a straw, and were pressed for time.'
A few moments elapsed,' and no sound
broke upon the stilly air of night but a sub
dued noise, like tearing a piece of muslin.! '
' There was muzzlin' to some considerable
extent around there just then," ')Y
"You're one of the right str'ipe 1" exclaim
ed William Keyser, as he leaned back re
freshed in his chair. "I'd chop my head off
for you, I would, upon my sacred word of
honor as a buteher ; anythiug but yert girls
that won't kiss now and then." ' r r
"O William, that you would always : love
me thus," said Mary Jane, as she placed her
head in its old: position once more, for she
appeared to like it that way. ' !
"Love you ! Our love is sometkingQnore
than human. ; It is destined to immortality.
I have too much at stake to cast you idly by.
I have, or I'm a Dutchman, that's so." ; j
"And when shall we be married, dearest ?"
asked Mary Jane,, taking ; a pin but of her
dress body, so thkt William Keyser, the affec
tionate young butcher, would not larcerate
his fingers. "When shall we stand at Hy
men's altar and plight our vows.' i i
"Stand at which, and do how ?" asked
William, for he was defective in his heath
en mythology, although ; he could dress a
beef within a half, an hour. . I
r' "And. do which ? my love for you is bonet-
fide, but don't ask nic to do anything wicked
or rash." .; .. - ; --i . ' jr.;, ,v- ,
? When v shall we be married, love, , I
meant?" .-'l;X '.
"Just whenever you please, darling. ; . I
live tor you alone, if you should cast me
off I'd cease to be a liver. -1 I'd blow my
brains out with a marrow bone."
"Make it Tuesday week, then, , with the
orthodox (Quaker ceremony." i
"Which ox?"

r "Is it meant that it should be so. j I'll
take you for better or for worse, for richer
or poorer, and I'll cleave to you through
life. I've had some practice jas a! cleaver."
; T.hus did these two young persons sit land
converse in tender accents, as the soft moon
flung her radiance over the landscape,. and
fldpded with lovely light the front- door step
of Mary Jane's house, while the old man lay
snoring on the settee in the back room, wait
ing for William to be gone, so that he could
loqk up the .house. ' ' -,...,.".-:
And so j they r were married at last, and
down the path of life, strewn 'with flowers as
it Was, these two loving hearts bounded joy
ously for about two weeks, when they stopped
bounding joyously, on. account of Mary Jane
beating William her own William overi
the frontispiece with the sauce pan because
he 'wanted her to make hash !out of the old
scraps he had left over, twice a week. : .
W.F. Henderson. Esq1.
The Rebel presses of the State, led byj the
Rebel Sentinel of this citv. have been teem
iu for a week or two past with a charge of
horse or mule stealing against Col. W. F.
H
dersont of Davidson County,
, from the first, that the charg
vve ieii
sure
arge was ; un-
founded, and we are now prepared, on tbi
authority ot three of the best citizens o
tbe
f
Davidson, to brand this charge as it
serves. ':-.'.fi ' '''.;-.
ine tacts are, tnat about two years ago a
man named ttiover stole a mule from a man
named Darr, of Lexington Glover took the
mule to High Point, some twenty-five or
thirty miles, and sold it to David Hender
son, a brother of Col. Henderson. The thief
was appreuenaeci, pieaa guilty, and was
whipped tor it. Not long since Col. Hen
dersonj Agent of the Bureau, jrequi red Darir,
from whom the mule was stolen, to do jus
tice to a colored man in the matter of wages,
when Darr threatened he would havel re-
venge. me result was tne oiu oi : indict
ment against Col. W. F. Henderson, charg-
with complicity in the stealing of
the mule ! The bill ot indictment was found
by a small majority of the grand jury;, and
the! Foreman of. the jury is of. the opinion
that the whole proceeding against Col.
H.
was vindictive and retaliatory.: -
Such, in I brief, is a trtie statpmpnt of
tne
case. This is another specimen of the depths
of i ineanness to which Rebel leaders will
descend to blast the character of Union men;
Col H. b the Agent of the Freedmen's Bu
reaus These leaders hate him because ihe
has the confidence of the government, and
the confidence of the colored people, whom
ue protects in tneir ngnts, and nence iua
efforts to nrostrate him Jir destroving his
personal character. Standard. j
