down the demands Of the ultra radicals IS
follows:
We earnestly urge thsi Congress make
early and unqualified declaration that no
slate shall be recognized Ss properly recon
structed Withhold having guaranteed equality
before the lae 20 all within its borders, ex
cspt such o. tTe guilty Of crime. We urge
especially that uea ures be initiated for an
amendment u Ihe Constitution, royiding
explicitly that suffrage shall be guaranteed
20 al persons hriHg irihin tie JHited States

aof gaiifg " 1ol0Hy or treason. We urge
Congress 70 initiate measures for such an
amendment OF the Constitution as we have
lndicsted, and 90 pass q law upon the subject
Of reconstruction, requiring impartial suf-
fragu Is a condition 0l readmiss4ou, because
justice requires d., aud thus much is neees-
ssry 90 maze good the pledge that "the
United STATES shall guaranty 10 every State

There is an overwhelming republican
iaayoriiy In each branch Of the coming Con-
gre=s, and il is probable a law might be
enacted requiring impartial suffrage e. a
condition u re-admission,' but il would
doubtless be arrested by the Presidential
veto. We do not believe q tEo-thirds ma
jority can be obtained IN either House 70

The people Of this countfy are not prepared
Tor coiofed suffrage, and g is not likely that
tie proposition, after the expiration Of tho
present Congress, viii be seriously talked Of
outside Of The impraotiosbles who warmly
urge it nov. So We think those who desire
On early reorganization Of the rebel
States, and the resumption by them Of
their rights and duties il the Onion, need
Eos fear that they viii be aqzept out in the
rlii' until they adopt oolored suffrage.
The point Of danger l. not colored suffrage,
bat something more important, the recogui-
tou OF the freedmen as really free, snd
the placing Of them upon the same footing
before the Law a. non voting white persons.
Had the southeru States. which have al
resiy aetcd upon this subject, come up to
the proper standard, We believe public
opinion would have forced Congress TO adj
mit them. But Ell present We are 81 at sea.
