never did, nor never was intended to mean
anything else and as the 9th section Of the
convention bill required different meaning
to be placed upon this clause, | felt bound
hy the force aud sanctity of the oath had
taken, to vote against it, however greatly
might regret differing from those with whom
l was IN the habit of agreeing. As pro-
tteruor, considered the section useless. and
it was morally certain no such provision
could pass the Senate, why then should
.nch howl be made over its defeat. The
provision in the Senate Bill while it is free
from objections to which this was liablo is
at the same time much more, in my opinion,
effective in the prevention of disloyal voting.
As to the reflections in reference to my
Unionsm or loyalty, have only to say,
make no great pretcnsions in this line l am
what ] always have been,-a Republican,
and ] suppose of the black kind | voted
for Lincoln, and am opposed to slavery from
principle. and as matter of course, am in
favor of immediate and uncompensated T.
Emancipation.
Now, Mr.. Editor, have occupied much
more space than intended, but if YOU will
allow me just this time. to make my say to
the people, you may have perfect liberty to
abuse me at pleasure, and to use your most
choice phrases in this line if you so desire,
shall not trouble you again.
