ability for Corporate Debts, depriving the Legsla
ture of any power to contract State Debt or loan
to Corporations restoring to Clergymen the right to
hold Office, &c &C. Two-thrds of these propositions
are ust md all deserve respect for the frankness
with which they are propounded. But the subject
of Free Suffrage came in tho way OF this Same Con
vention, and was disposed of as follows;
Whereas the Right of Suffrage the most important
aud honorable OF all Political Rights shoud IN &C
cordanco with Democratic principles, be conferred upon
every male citizen Of sufficient age, ioo does nor stdnd IN
such relation the general sentiment Of community as to DC
doomed perpetual degradation and thus rendered inca
le Of exercising the right with elevated motives and
@ patriotic purposes and whereas difference oil opln-
lon prevails the proprety Of extending this right to
persons OF Color-Tkerefore,
opportunity Of deciding this question at the onloboN
and that amendment ofthe Constitution providing 'ha
the elective franchise shall not be withheld from any ct
zen on the ground OF color ought to be submitted 10 the
people"
We really thought we had some idea of Demo
cratic principles but here is one propounded with
difference from any Democracy we ever heard OF
till this year 1916. Every male citizen Of suilici-
ent age" identified to the Right of Sufrage-that
we can understand perfectly; every man perceives
at once that it is Democratic. But hold; we have
omitted the very important though not very clear
qualification of the Onondagas If the general
sentiment Of community stamps some class with
perpetual degradation then cictfms ofsuch preJu
dice. however unjust and hateful. not those who
cherish It. are to be excluded from voting One
knows not whether most to admire the logic or the
morality of this axiom. Poor, dear Fido F! said tho
tender heartedlady whose lap dog had bitten piece

SICK The Onondagas are afraid that their Demo
cratic rowdies will DO made sick by their prejudice
against Black men, in case the latteI are permitted
TO vote or that the latter will not vote correctly be-
cause others entertain unjust and hateful preiudices
Their premises plainly indicate that the White
haters and despisers Of Black men unfit TO vote
with elevated motives and patriotic purposes;
wherefore they insist that the Blacks shall be de-
prived Of fundamental Right "Sir!" said Viz
ginia Judge s,ernly to young lawyer, who had
Clustered and noored his favoritc. the long establish
leader of tho Bar "you must not provoke Gen.
Jones and make him curse and swear so ii you do.
I shall commit you for contempt of Court I!
The Blacks either arc Justly entitled to the Righ,
of Suffrage or they are not. lfthey are-which the
Onondagas would be understood by them and their
friends to afrmon what principle is proposed to
submit, the question to be specially voted on in rat-
flying the Constitution! Why do not the advocates
Of this course propose also that the right of Adopted
Citizens be subjected 10 the same ordeal-Hcre il
Nativism affirming their general ignorance, degra-
dation addiction TO vice, &c and calling for their eS
clusion just as Democracy wants TO exclude the
Blacks. We protest against both projects. or any
approach to them. If any class of our population be
ignorant, ls, us strive to enghten lift degraded,
LEI ms labor for its. elevation; but lot not make
i,s msfortunes an excuse for farther prvation and
injury. These jugglers want TO cheat by the cleo

question for fear the Abotionsts will turn the scale
