MI. Barns favored the sdoption Of tho
report, as he was of opinion that every
man who had voted for the ordinance OF
secession had by that act forfeited not
ONLY his right to vote, but had thereby
forfeited his life. They were all traitors,
and had no right to live or vote.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle said the adoption OF
this report would disfranchise many per.
sons who had voted for the ordinance OF
secession under mistaken ideas. Many
of these men had, since casting that vote,
acted with the Union party, while 9TH
ers had done nothing against the govern
ment. He would vote affalnst the DILL
and if it was finally passed. and came be-
fore the people for ratification or reJec-
ton, he would take the stump against 1T.
