shall; have one representative only, was here TAX
en- up, discussed and passed-l50 TO Is.
| Same Com. reported res. striking out word
,. white from constitution. Mr.. Hochkiss said
there was no good reason why the coured popu-
Iaon' should not be considered equal in this re-
sp. C, to their white brethren: Other New Eng.
land States had taken that position.
Nh Graves stated that Congress had Just turn
ed out L. d. Campbell OIL the question Of right Of
negroes to vote, and shall this House undertake to
establish the contrary The next step would be
practical ANAL gamation.
Mr.. Brockway said the proposition was grave
one The argument of Messrs. Graves and Drake
was not based eternal justice. Connecticut
was the only New England State which has not
adopted this course, and she is a Kissing and by
word in consequence.
i Mr.. Hubbard said that while the contest ragged
on some subjects, there which we
could all agree-that OF the rights of the fair sex.
He moved to amend by extending right of suf-
frage 10 women.
Mr. S. Palmer said that this thing was a
matter OF TASTE II had been said feelingly that
God made the negro aud the white man. So he
made the skunk's cabbage and the rose. He pre-
rrred the rose-,hose partial 10 the cabbage could

if they had the moral courage, have unquestona-

: year. We the road 10 very select aristo-
crazy.
Mr.. Brandegee said, the simple question is
, WI tn we shall stand between the people and
this res. Is this democratic ? 1t is the duty Of
evey member TO vote 10 reier to the people in ev-
cry Of proposed amendment not trivial. But
2 he did not want 10 dodge an expft ssion of his
opinion He thought negroes ought to be made
politically equal 10 white men. Under the con-
stiiuiion, all men were tqnaI under the social
compact We arc departing from the doctrins. of
our fathers.
MIR. Brantegee Proceeded to compare negroes
fayosably with While men in his neighborhood.
They ought 10 be allowed to vote. SO that their
pro, erty, which amounted to quite sum, could
be taxed.
MIR. Hyde said, We are to vote on this ques-
ton Of reference 10 people just as il our vote
was final The negro never was intended to
be malgamaied with the white. lie would go as
far as any body to project negroes in their rights
There was no authority for the assertion that i.

spect.' fle was in favor of the amendment. The
ladies are quite capable Of voting any greasy
negro. The womans right party was strong
now as the free soil party was shor. time ago.
4 MIR. Hubbard said the debate had taken wide
/ range. He replied to Mr.. Brandagee. He had
not been able to ascertain yet whether that
gentleman was in favor of his amendment or not.
MIR. Brandegee replied that he had refrained
from abiding to the women from dislike to trench
. upon the preroga,ivs Of MIR. Hubbard. He was
happy TO offer to that gentleman the crown due to
the champion of the fair sex, and asked MIR. Hub
bard if he accepted it.
MI. Hubbard replied that he did " it'll pleasure,
and offered in return to MIR. Brandegee the crown

London, in the revolutionary war. He did not
