tho third section, as indefinite nnd really incon
sistent., lie was ?nwilling to vote for officers
under an unconstitutional p'rovisiuu. The sec
tion he declared iliiprneticable and invalid.
'Col. Thomas replied! Tt was deenie?l impor
tant to insert this sectif>n, in order to bring out
the strength of the white vote iu the State.
But suggested, that iu thus voting, we enter
our solemn protost:against tho entire proceed
ing.
?' Col.. Aikon accepted the suggestion, uud the
following amendineiit wim added : ??lint at the j
same time, wo enter our protest against its va
lidity."
Col. A ikon objected, t hat the fifth resolution
did not go far enough, bet tho colored man
knbW'^hnt he bud to expec t ; -ivrt him some,
thing tangible. Add to the iwolufi-.n, that in
dfte time nd'Hhall' have' partial sutli'toje.
Gen. Ohesnut ?tnted that thi* section caused
Hfune debate ib the Conunittee Koom, lie
thought tho gentleman from Ableville was
right. Wo should sny tl??t thenoln, .! man
be-'mado to understand that hereafter 'ue shall

' Cfehn'ecticut, jwo years ago, "?vhen this question1
" tq*U3 Submitted to thepepple," the negrowj them
-o'lvea w.?ut forward;.and voted against uuivor
^?ujl'rage on tlio ground that until their, col
ored, brethren had ncuuired intelligence und
property, they were not entitled to exercise too
^i^tt*/' The same argument adiBessV d irsl ir to
a ter^e'class riC colored people now. ' Qualified
HufTroge was tho safety -valve' of Gocroty-in
South Carolina, because it w-wuld niako :goqd
citizens of intelligent men ; whereas, if not en
titled to the privilege, they uiight be disturbers
of tne peace, Besides, the privilege would bo
exorcised by so few that they cbtdd not ckov- j
;<*i?o ft controlling influence in elections. Ho
Uad entertained' these vioWBifor ninnyAears,
und wheu ho went to Washington, President '
Johnson coucurrod with him, apd.^u^d), that .if
HH'tlio Southern States would adopt qun.li.iied
suffrage it would disarm and defeat the radi
cals of the 'North. The President likewise
wrote to the CToVernor ot Mississippi ami
^^t^ed him to bin ploy his influence iri securing
?'qJialificif^ sull'rago in thai Stato. It was tlio
.rujliUrprinoiplc?light, because it is the prize
which the colored :unu has wou.J r.ud it can d<> I
Em harm to society. It \va>, therefore proper,
in going bel'ure die people of the State, to let!
?da negroes know distinctly-wo are willintpdtti
?opcfide this partial rjgh.t.o^siufrragc ^tj/p^i'
who c^t'ii handle the tool without damaging
themselves. Say this to the black man ami
?tbons-amb* of votes would be secured in Ihc
coming election, hesidos doing great good in
tliOjprcservation of tin; peace aud quiet of so
*. C?l. Thomas gave Tils hearty cohcurfcnice to
ffie opiuimis expressed by these gentlemen.
Be hivoTQd this idea ever since die einancipa
'of the slav.s. lie a;: reed \\ ill: fl'oiicral
|Janipton when ic. advocated this; measure a
"T'lja- aco. ami he agreed with him now. The
w|^\l;,:dY had J ''en i .davuholder ) but he. hoped
he was a humane and lut-rciiVd one. Men
talk flippantly of the approaching "war of
races',', but should it come, the speaker would
do his part, l.-ct us accomplish a peace'ul so
luti in of this question?the solution compnti
bh with the dignity of tho white race. The'
question arises, what shall w ? do with thi

England, Germany ami Krauce,* .di.Hcultiu^
have arisen relative to the right of suffrage, by
the lower cl.-.sse-. Ft :- suggested that the
proposed action is inconsistent with the digni
ty of the white race; bo had faith-in the dig
nity and superiority of the Anglo t^nxon race.
But while he held out rim olivednnMch to the
colored man. he would-let him understand that
Im e. e.M never geVerji the South?he should
participate. We should be prepared to say to
them, "this is our land.''
Mr. >iuUiiis then moved that a Committee
of one from each delegation present be ap
pointed to select candidates for the various
Slate offices.
