Equal SUFFRAGE. In to days paper will be iound
a. proclamation by Gov. Reid. embracing the Ac,

Of North Carolina. This act is the niatory step
towards an extension of the Hgh, Of suffrage 1T pto
vdes for the abolition of the useless land qual6ca-
ton necessary to give free citizen the rightto vote
for State Senator. and extends the privilege every
,nan now possessed Of the right TO vote for meber
Of the Honse Of Commons. This modification Of the
Constitution is demanded by aad in accordance with
the true principles Of political equality and republi
canism, and doabt not ninesenlhs of the people
of the State in favor Of its adoption. The act con-
tained in The pro claaton secured constitutional
majority of threeftths in the last Legislature only
after the most strenuous efforts of its friends Intr:
guing politicians Of the Wing party. to promote per-
sonal party interests attempted to frusate the ef-
forts of wise men 10 extend the right Of suffrage, but
truth and Justice prevailed and finally fled in
dsmay. Having passed the last General Assembly,
the CONSTITUTION requires that it shall receve vote
of two-thirds by the next general Assembly when
will be submitted to the people for their ratification.
OF their approval doubt exists, if it's passage
also is certain, if the representatives Of the people
will be guided by the wishes Of their constituents.
