If that is the desire. if that is the intention. then you must change the Constitution of the United States. Every Senator who hears rMe. as well as the Senator from Louisiana. took the oath to observe and to maintain the Constitution of the United States. and yet his language there would justify the violation of three of the clearest provisions of the Constitution. The Constitution says that this is a republican form of government. not a government of caste or race. not a government for Catholics or for Protestants. it is not a government for native or naturalized. it is not a government for white or black. it is not a government for foreigners or men who are born here. but it is a government for all. with equal rights. The Constitution in its original form denounced just such things as these. It is not a republican government when a majority of the people are deprived of plain constitutional rights.
