III isa remarkable fact that william G. Boucx, the
Chairman Of the Committee, who, in lsi6 placed :ae
word WHITE in the above section was Immediately after
selected BIZ Polk, Walker Mason Buchanan and Marcy,
10 I'LL the United States Office OF SUE TREAsraER OF the
Revenues of the Republic collected al NeTYors, &c-
Had ne left cut WHITE would he have gotten that berth
from President who against Mexico TO restore
Negro Slavery where 1t ha. been abolished
Messrs BRUcE. Strong BUR-, BAscoM, WATERBURY
and PESSIMAS ably addressed the Convention IN favor
Of striking out toe word WHITE and giving equal poiti-
cal rgh,s 10 every Citizen OF whatever color Mr.
Bruce said that Il had been proposed 50 submit 10 the
People separately 9th section beginning Coiored Male
Citizens possessing THE QUALIFICATIONS required by
the LIST section shall have the right 10 vote and what
was the st qualification required By section lsti That
the CoLoRED Male Citizen should be WHITE - 50
thu, had the oth section gone to the People as Mr.
Bouck reported and been adopted it would have been
useless Tor the purpose intended because black man
cannot also be white man. Who suppose that
Mr. Bouc) late Governor ofihs State did not that
the 9th scction he drew it up mockery Of his
fellow citizens and burlesque Of of the most i'm
portsnt political questions which this people can con
! sider
Mr. 1AscoM preferred separate submission OF the
question admitting colored citizens TO vote AZ cleo
tions. Mr. WATERBURY showed that the coiored men
had defended the country time OF wgr ind asked If
his reward ought 10 be deprivation OF civil rights IN
the land Of his nativity Mr. PESN1MAS referred to
New Hampshire massachusetts,, and ,ermont As evl'
ence th.t colored citizens had been found aperecy
ssf. depository Of institutions in the land Of their
birth He declared that the coored had as high
mental powers the white although b. continued de

lose its strength If used. DR. TAYLOR WAS willing
that the colored who have the elective fran
chse should Keep it and that the separate section about
the ADMISSION OF the colorcd race might be submitted
separately the People, reported by Mr. boucx. Mr.
RUSSELL made strong speech against Negro Suffrage
and said that ST Lawrence County was opposed 10 it
There yote taken on the section
abolition Of Ldlrgers' Fees
While on article No 4, Mr.. SwAcKIAMEK proposed
the following section the object c which was to do
away entirely with Attorneys, Solicitors and Counsel
FEES ard substituting IN lieu thereof en- equita
dc compensation 10 the prevailing party as part OF
he recovery. This section he said, Yves drawn b. an
able lawyer and there is doubt but that it would ri
once simplify the practice for il left the lawyer and his
client TO make their own bargains
d The Legislature shn!i not TX The Fees or Comnen
salon of Attorneys or Counseors at Law and THE FEES
AND CONVERSATION son ESTABLISHED ARE ABOLISHED
provision may be made by Law Tor allowing 10 The
Prevailing Party in any Suit, as part of the Recover
