TO have undergone mos, radical change Of
opinion, for in the Convention which formed the
present State Constitution OF Indiana, Mr. Owen
said:
No man who knows nything about public
Affairs in Indiana will maintain for a moment
that the proposition to grant to negroes the right
Of suffrage can obtain among the people more
than q very small minority. / do not pretend to
decide how small that minority may be, but, for
one, | believe is would be 40 inconsderable that,
| when positively ascertained il would tend to
| make the minority satisfied aud quiet. And yet
another effect would be produced by such vote
the consciousness that there Is not the slightest
disposition 10 the State to grant 10 negroes the
right Of suffrage. That consciousness, II seems
| to me- under the circumstances, should suffice to
show that it is neither to the interest of the
State. nor TO the interest Of the negro population
| itself that they should increase among Va This
consciousness governed me in the vote which
| gave in the committee upon the proposition re-
ported this morning to exclude the negroes and
mulattoes hereafter from the State. They eau
never obtain political rights here. They can
never obtain social rights here "
