y nst1tua'ns II builds on rock Its work
Is sure In Inns respect we prefer the
above plan Of extending the suffrage to Sena-
tor Yates proposed extension By act Of Con-
.re-s, the Constitutionallty OF which many
""u'd doubt. We prefer il to Senator Hen
dcss''n's proposed amendment to the Cousti-
tutIon extending tue suffrage, because that
l"cs moi connect the matter directly With re-
construction, and make it a solemn National
covenant whereby the Government gives the
right Of suffrage to the States which had tor
ieitea il by rebellion, in consideration that
those same States give the right of suffrage to
the freed races who had been deprived oft hy
slavery. We prefer it to Senator Williams
proposition to extend the suffrage by q joint
resolution Of the two Houses Of Congress by
which the next Congress will not be bound,
and an net hy the State Legislature which tue
next Legislature can repeal.
We need moi say that We prefer it vastly to
tho Presidents plan TO admit the Southern
States TO their seats in Congress first, and
leave them to extend or deny the right of
suffrage as they choose.
We Ike that feature ot the plan which
makes suffrage universal when II comes, but
affords reasonable time within which 10 pre-
pare tic minds of the freedmen and the
whites of the South for IT, II the right Of
sulIraec were made to depend On the ability
Ia read. Southern men would be temptcd to
oppose the education Of tue freedmen, where
as il IL Is uniyctal tbcy would all. or nearly
an, sec the necessity of making education
universal also. IfN were riycu to those who
