election on the 6th of july lies over the law of congress provides for the election of u s senators on the second tuesday of the session a message was received from the house transmitting a ioint resolution rat ifying the howard amendment or the 14th article of the constitution of the uniied states and asking the concurrence of the senate mr rich of pitt moved that the sen ate do concur mr rohhins senator from rowan said : i rise mr president to present a few only of the reasons why in my judgment the senate cf north carolina should refuse to ratify this amendment it is not hoped that anything now to be said could influ ence the action of this body upon the ques tion ; for the decree has gone forth not only that we will hut that we mast give an affirmative vote ; and it is but too evident that a majority here are impatient to do the bidding of their masters but i oppose it first upon the merits of the amendment itself i respectfully ask north carolinians what has north carolina to gain by its adoption ? this measure changes the basis of representa tion in congress and virtually places it not upon the population but the number of voters in each state this is of little importance to states having a homogen j ons population and where no class of the j i people is likely ever to be deprived of i equal suffrage but in north carolina 1 there are two widely distinct races dwel : ling together on the same soil true by j the present constitution both are invest ed with equal rights of suffrage i oppo sed this and deprecate it still ; while i at the same time claim to be a friend of i the colored tace and wish to see their i real welfare promoted i will also add that while the present constitution re mains the de facto constitu ion of the state i shall give my aid towards making it woik as little evil as possible and as senator here i shall pursue no mere fac tious course but assist in the adoption of i the measures best calculated to advance 1 the welfare of north carolina under the j present regime . but will the policy of allowing equal | rights of suffrage to both races be perma nent here 1 impossible even its friends ] must admit it to be an untried experi j ment uncertain in its results the voice ! of history is against it : for 1 can recall no ■ instance in which two peoples have dwelt together on the same soil without amalga i . tion or the subordination of one to the | other nnless indeed both were iu sub ; jection to a common tyrant and apropos of that last remark does any gentlemen here suppose that ice would have inaugurated this negro suffrage ex periment had it not been forced upon us at the point of the bayonet 1 when the bayonets shall depart if they ever do then look out for the re-action then tho bottom rail will descend from the top of the fence — not merely by my vote but by yours senators pardon me for pre dicting that in five years from this day an overwhelming majority of the peopae j and theiefore a still more overwhelming ' majority of lhe politicians of north car olina will be clamorously demanding a change in the negro suffrage feature of otir constitution and the restriction of the african's right to vote equally singular metamorphoses in political sentiment are recent ; and this one wfu he a sensible one aud inevitably resultiiur from our speedy experience ofthe present system why then should north carolina assist in so amending the federal constitution that she cannot make this inevitably ear ly change in her own organic law without losing a portion of her representation in congress ? is it to her interest ? nay verily she has much to lose by it aud nothing to gain but i am told that hy voting for this measure we shall at length go home again : and men grow strangely enthusias o o c _ tic talking of getting back to the old home stead ; forgetting that the tree of liberty which used to stand there and under which we children ofa happy land mice sported has been hewn by the remorse less axe of fanaticism and the weather beaten mansion looks alas ! but little like the glorious fabric we venerated of yore ! i am told that by voting for this amend ment we shall get back into the union — when did we et out of the union ? did __ those men who voted here seven years ago for the ordinance of secession really takes us out of the union they may be pardoned for thinking so ; for they are disunionists but i as a good union man utterly deny it we fought to get out of the union and the united states fought to keep us in if we are out we whipped the united states ; it was wash ington not richmond that fell ; and grant surrendered to lee under the apple tree but history tells no such flattering tale to me no senators we were never out of the union ; and the pretence that we were is a subterfuge invented since the war for obvious p litical and partizan purpo ses to how its absurdity it is only neces sary to ask ourselves how comes it that we vote to-day upon an mendment to the federal constitution ? were north carolina not a state in the union she would have no more right to vote on such a question than the republic of liberia which she is beginning so much to resem ble this position is too obvious to ad mit of argument i oppose this amendment because its adoption involves a dishonorable act on the part of north carolina in that she will aiei in imposing political disabilities upon thousands of her sons merely for obeying her own commands seven years ago speaking through the voices and votes of many gentlemen now sitting in high places here including her present distinguished executive chief north car olina called her children to the field — thither they rushed by thousands to bleed and die for her a battle scarred remnant only survives ; and now upon this poor remnant of survivors she is ask ed to affix the stigma of political disfran chisement ! is it honorable 1 but i for bear to enlarge upon this point for in these days ot great moral ideas to in sist upon the claims of honor is in danger of being deemed mere old fogyism but in vindication of our dear old mother let me say that when she shall seem this day to pronounce that hard sentence upon her children it is not north carolina that speaks it is only a horrid apparition which personates her she is prostrate with the heel of the tyrant in her mouth and is voiceless ; but her great heart ia bursting with blessings on her gallant sons i oppose this measure because of its un fairness in application thousands are punished by it who were sincere oppo nents of the war and who only aided it by giving a few blankets or articles of clothing to suffering neighbor boys in the confederate army but here stand i a confederate officer for four years with the smoke of forty battles on me unbann ed and free — simply because i never was a squire ! will the fair-minded portion of.mankind in massachusetts in north carolina think it unpardonable in me be cause my sense of justice revolts against civin - my voice in favor ofa measure so inconsistent and unfair i oppose this proposition because north carolina has once voted upon it and 1 respectfully submit that no state has the leo-al right to vote twice on such a ques tion if i mistake not this amendment has once been acted upon by all or a suf ficient number of the states and not having received a three-fourths vote stands rejected shall we assist in gal vanizing the corpse into a semblance of life again ? rather let the dead be bur ied but i utterly protest against this ratifi cation because we are not allowed a free vote we are told that we will vote nay at our peril if we vote yea we are promised a recognition of our statehood : otherwise we must remain aterritory un der indefinite military rule what a mockery we are in duress and in law our deed this day is really invalid ' and will be so held wh-n passion and j fear subside and courts are liberated once tnore our dignity demands that we respect fully say to the congress unfetter ua ar.d give us the assuranoq that our privi j leges will be unaffected by our vote — j then can we vote aa proud american cit ' izens should do but now we cannot — ! we dare not — give an independent vote j > we vote as others dictate we vote as . slaves would to grod north carolina i might this day be permitted to render an ' unbiased decision ! bat ul.is ! our grand i old mother is in the dust and the mailed ! soldier stands ever her wiih the bayonet j at her bosom demanding that she dishonor herself drive the bayonet home to her i heart say i if heaven so wills it and let her die ; but let her never submit to voluntary dishonor but this is not a question o feeling and sentiment ; it is one of vital impor ' tanee to the safety of the constitution — i by the constitution congress is empow ered to propose amendments to that in strument but if congress can dictate how states shall vote upon amendments • by placing them under disabilities as states until they are forced into compli ance is not congress become all power i ful and can it not mould the organic law ■ to its will 1 may it not by this means j decree an amendment subordinating tho : co-ordinate departments and make itself sole ruler . what rapid and rcvolutiona ! ry strides it has already taken towards , absolute power let the present posture uf public affairs speak senators the dangers i have depicted ' do not seem to me imaginary thev am j s •/ dread realities and woe be unto us if wo go blindly on and help by our votes to drive the ship of state upon the breakers ! we are making history this day by an affirmative vote we shall give our sanc tion to a precedent fraught with untold perils to constitutional liberty i speak \ not as a partiznu i speak not now even 1 as a north carolinian i speak as an j american citizen and in the course i pursue this day i deem myself the cham pion ofthe liberties of new york and <_ hio i as of my own ever loved native state — ■ and here in this venerated chamber hal i lowed by the memories of great and good men gone before i raise my solitary voico j in solemn warning of the deadly perils 1 which lie iu the path you are urged to pursue senators wo are in the midst of a sea i of troubles uur people are impoverish ed bereaved humiliated miserable cur homes are desolate ; our kinsmen slain but in all onr
