' ' . ; I was pleased in observing that such meeting had been called. In the opinion of some, with whom I have conversed, it was supposed there had been too great delay Among Conservative citizens in communica " tinj together, in the face of very active ex . .crtions to form a party adverse to them fcl the best interests of the State, in which it was sought to combine all the col- oreu voters Dy appeals to prejudice, pas Eion.ana nopes oi unlawful gain.

This white popcl tion, which has been heretofore the uc: cutory of the political power ot the rtr.t ii n fzilhfol to the Constitution of sion for serious thought, inquiry, unreserv ed consultation and free discussion; aud our suffrages are accustomed to be given, according to the convictions of our mind.s, effected through such means. In the election now before us, the elec tors are to vote "For a Convention or Against a Convention,'" and, at the same time, for delegates to represent their coun ties in Convention, provided tho. aftircaa tive vote shall be sufficient, according to the provwions of the law. Such (Jonven-, tion, if called, is to deliberate on tho form ation of a Constitution, m which there shall bo a provision, " that the elective franchise shall be eo joyed by all such persons as have the qualifications for electors in the present election ; that is all the male citizens of the Btate, twenty -onaf years old' and up wards, o whatever race, color or previous condition, who have been resident in the State for one year previous to the day of any election, except such as may bo dis franchised for participation ia the rebel lion, ori for felony at common law." I make this quotation with care, for the pur pose, of collating it in my subsequent re marks, with the qualification of voters in some of the leading Statea now represent ed in Congress, whoso members have shown extraordinary zeal in prescribinglts terms to us. ... . . ... -i , ; ... Never, ' heretofore, in America, has the elective franchise been extended to new classes of voters, except through the agency of Conventions chosen by those who had enjoyed it exclusively" before. Congress, by the acts under consideration, has ex tended it to all males of the black race twenty -one years of age and upwards, with no other qualifications than those above recited ; but only so far, however, as re gards the present election. And, accord ing to my recollection, it was stated in the debate on these acts by Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, certainly one of the ablest and most experienced members of the Senate, that no permanent regulation or this nature could be constitutionally established in a State without the sanction of its people : and I think the correctness of the remark was acquiesced in by the subsequent action of Congress. Congres, then, has provided that in the present election the black race, with no other than the qualifications al ready stated, shall vote. That was their act j If it shall be provided that they shall so vote in all future timet the act will be oursi It is not sought to be disguined, that Congress desires that wo shall so pro vide, and it is strongly intimated, that rep resentation in Congress will not be allowed us until it is done ; but it is still left to the people of the State as represented in Con vention be deliberated upon and decided, and ho more momentous question was ever presented for the determination of a free people. ' y The inquiry cannot bo excluded from our consideration, if we would, whether, under the Constitution of the United States or any republican organization, a Constitution of Government for the; regulation of the internal affairs of a State can be forced upon a people against the wisht s of a ma jority of its qualified voters, by distraint or duress ? A Constitution of , Uovcrnment, says Macauley, which will fit one State or people may not fit another ; any more- than a coat by the measure of the Apollo Belvi dere may be expected to fit all the human race, j And the. very idea of republican Government pre-suppose, that the people themselves can best judge as to the funda mental law under which they shall live, as well as of the enactments passed from time to time by theii Legislatures. This propo sition is most clearly stated ' by Washing ton in his farewell address, when he de clares that " the basis of our political sys tem is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government." North Carolina does not seek to . have a voice in the question whether the Japanese, Chinese or any Asiatio race shall exercise the elective franchise in California ; nor does she claim the right to interfere in the domestio regulations of any sister State of the Union. Un the other hand, she makes her appeal to the people of all the other States to concede to her, within the limits of their common Constitution, the powers of control, and those only, which those States assert for themselves. ' ' But throwing out of consideration the question of right of the people of a State to frame their State Constitution according to their own conception of the public good, is the measure proposed expedient ? Will it promote the general welfare to con fer tho right to voto in all popular elections on tho negro race, with no other qualifica tions than those in contemplation ? Is it not perfectly manifest that it will not ? The representative republics of this coun try, with their written Constitutions, their divisions of power into legislative, execu tive or indicia! departments, and their iu- th United (States, in all respects, framed by a Convention of delegates elected by the male i citi zens of eaid State, twenty-one years old and up wards, of whatever race, color, or previooa condi tion, who have been residents in said Stats for one year, previously to theday of eneh election, except each an may be dia'rfcDchi&ed ;" and U vbeo such Constitution shall provide that the elective franchise shall bo enjoyed by all each per sons at have the qualifications herein stated,! for elector cf delegates ;"' and when, and when, and when certain other things shall occur, (at farther recited in tho 5th section.) " said State ehaQ be dec'ared entitled to representation in Congress and Henators and Representatives shall be admit ted therefrom, on taking the oath prescribed by law." . ; : This is the only provision touching 1 the subject matter under consideration, and its only intimation is, that until there is a ful- himeut of the requirements, the Military Government shall continue. There have been threatening declarations made by in dividual members oi Congress, and certain presses have teemed with fulminations against all who should hesitate in taking immediately the 6teps proposed, but Con grcss, as a body, have established no pen alty and made no threats. The first reflec tion which occura on hearing thfse an nouncements is, that it would be a harsh measure and savor of injustice to require people to vote in an election, and then punish them for voting for the candidate, (whether man or measure,) of their choice. And further, that it would be still more un just to punish the peole of North Carolina for failure to make a Constitution and es tablish a basis of suffrage whioh Pennsyl vania, Ohio, New York and other great and leading States of the North have re fused, and still do refuse, to establish for themselves, though with far less cogent reasons than prevail with us. The Consti tution of Pennsylvania, as re-ordained in 183S, regulates suffrage in these words : " In elections bv the citizens, every white free man of the age of twenty-one years, having re sided in this State one year and in the election district where he offers to vote ten days immedi V 3Ur Tf f - A r-.Ul ate preceding such election, and within two years paid a Stale or County tax which shall have been assessed at least ten days before the election. shall enjoy the rights of an elector, &c That of New York provides that "Every male citizen of the Ice of twenty-one vears, &c, shall be entitled to vote," Ac " Bat no man of color, nntees he shall have been for three ears a citizen of the State, and for one year next preceding every election shall have boon ecizsd and possessed of a freehold estate of the valae of two hundred aud fifty dollars over and above all debts aud incumbrances charged there on, and thall nave been actually rated ana paid a tax thereon, shall be entitled to vote at such elec tion," sc. That of Ohio, as follows ' Every white male citizen of the United State!, of the age of twenty-one years, who shall have been a resident of toe state one year next prece ding the election, and of the County, 4c, in which he resides, such time as may be provided by law, shall nave the qumuications oi an elector and bo entitled to vote at all elections." Since the passage of the Acts of Congress on this subject, an amendment has been proposed in the Constitution of Ohio by the Legislature and submitted to the vote of the "people, so a3 to admit colored men to the right of suffrage on the same footing with white men ; and after a most amma ted canvass in its favor by the leading pub lic men " of the -dominant party in that State, the news comes to us, as I write, that it has been rejected by an overwhelming majority. Now will there be any punish ment attempted upon the people of that State for refusing to extend the right of suffrage to negroes ? ; If not, is any to be reasonably apprehended npon the people of North Carolina, if they shall come to a like determination, for reasons far more power ful and controlling ? If any penalty is to be imposed, should it not rather be upon these States where the negro is not numer ous aud has been a freedman for generations, if . not from before the foundation of the State, (as in Ohio, J than in this State, where they constitute one-thircl of the population, and the generality are necessarily, from their recent condition of slavery, in the grossest ignorance ? It is derogatory to the Congress of the United States to pre sume that for a negative vote on this ques tion, which, would be but a respectful re monstrance, they would think of visiting the electors of a State with punishment and if, in the excitement of the fever, they should, their constituents in the great States already mentioned, as well as others, who have 'manifested no disposition to make the coveted change in - their body of voters, would be quick to perceive that; what is ours to-day may becomej theirs to-morrow ; that precedents accumulate and constitute law, and that, as their representatives shall have done to others, so may it be done to them. However this may be, the change proposed is in a fundamental article of the State Constitution, deeply affecting the security, safety and peace of society, and the promotion of . the civilization and happiness of its members ; it is domestio and concerns ourselves only, and we must act upon- ii in the choice allowed ns ac cording to P our convictions.!7 of I duty. The elective franchise is Hot necessary to the protection of ; any rights or im munities of the freed men before the law. By the present Constitution, and the Bill of Bights which has stood untouched since 1776, the free colored man is now, and al ways has been, entitled to all the guaran tees as to life, liberty, security and proper ty, which are vouchsafed to the white men, as much so as women, minors and adults of the white race, who have not paid public Congress is as to a provision in the Con stitution for. negro , suffrage, which we consider it -ruinous to adopt, I : should prefer, - the--latter. - Conventions, with power over the fundamental law of the State, are not called of choice, except in cases where change is desired, but if the alteration proposed is not approved, there is no occasion for the call. To me, who concurred in. and most heartily approved their decision, it was a sublime spectacle m February 1861, to see ' the people of North Carolina reject the proposition made by the .Legislature to call a Convention to consider the sumect of secession. The presses aud politicians of various shades of opinion, were, in the confusion and uncer tainty of the times, nearly unanimous in favor of the ealL lint the people, seeing the critical condition of affairs, rejected it by a decisive majority ; at the same time taking care to elect delegates who would represent their sentiments, -provided the affirmative had prevailed. Thus two months were gained, before causes, not then antici pated, and which were regarded when they occurred as a necessity, precipitated us into a war already commenced. - j These are some of the views I should have presented "to vour meetincr. had I been able to attend (I think the subject has been less considered, by the people, than, from its transcendant importance, it deserves. I disclaim any purpose of disrespect or contumacy towards any department or au thority of the Government of the United States, and still more at aiming to promote the interests of party. A Whig from principle, never having had any other party connexion, now past the meridian of life, will gladly forego all his interest in party, provided he can be as sured that he yet has a country." Our own Gaston, long years ago, in the Halls of Congress, speaking of faction, which is but party in excess, exclaimed, - "Faction out of power is a demon m chains, faction clothed with the attributes of rule is a Mo loch of destruction. In our present situ ation what is party to us or we to party? To adopt platforms, profess creeds or bar ter away our rights and interests as a State, in order to conciliate any party, is not on ly positively wrong, but is a mistaken pol icy. , Nothing less than the saving efhcaey of that perfect law of liberty? embracedin the Constitution of the United States, with all its privileges and mutual guarantees, will relieve or materially benefit us. After this shall be restored we may afford to par ticipate in the contest of parties. A hall-faced fellowship, a patched up Union based on fear, and accompanied With men tal reservations, should not be desired. I trust that Congress will reconsider and be convinced of this truth, and I trust that the people will be charitable toward each other, and patient and submissive to the laws, but that they will not lose their self-possession nor forget that freedom in elections is their birthright; and, if there be among us those who, conscious of llittle favor with the old voters, are seeking to exhibit extraordinary for delegates and against the Convention.
