NEGRO CIrnENsrIr.-In the Constitution OF
Pennsylvania, in force in 1855, it was provided
that:
"ln elections by the citizens, every free mar of
the age of twonty.onc years, having resided in
the State two years before the election, and
having that time paid a State or county tax
shall enjoy the right Of an elector"
In the year 1855, q negro who was free
ann, offered his vote at an election, and it was
refused by the inspectors. lie brought suit
against them, placing his right to vote upon
the aboYc constitutional provisions. The case
was deliberately argued and Chief Juslicc Glib.
son delivered the opinion of the Court, and de-
cidcd that even under the provision giving to
ovcry Gree man. n right to vote, negro,
though not slave, was not free man in the
legal meaning of those words. The convention
which formed a new Constitution of Pcnnsyl-
vania had also, willie this suit was pending,
decided by very large majority, that negroes
were not entitled to vote, but to make the
matter doubly sure, they inserted in the new
Constitutions provision combining The right Of
suffrage to "whte' person.
