solemnly protest against the enforcement
upon our peo[)le of ’.lie Reconstruction

of .American jiolitics, that each State shall
have the exclusive control of its o’wii in

This question is of great importance to
every Avliite man in the State. Every one
is anxious to know what sort of a Consti

vention. We cannot tell what it Avill he
in all its parts, hut Ave feel AA'arranted in
saying what it Avill propose on the suf
frage question. Xothing shortof absolute
equality of the races Avill satisfy the Re
publicans. Suffrage Avillbc made uniAmr-

may he made universal so far as the white
man is concerned, upon degrading condi

made universal. The public schools will

races—in short, all distinctions will he
aliolishcd, Xo qualification Avill he requir
