NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN MARYLAND.-In the
Senate of the Maryland Legislature yesterday
Mr. Earle, of Queen Anne's, submitted a
lengthy preamble and series of resolutions
on the suffrage question, the relations between
the white and black races, and the duty of the
States Representatives in Congress in the mat
ter, which Were referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations.
The resolutions declare that the elective
franchise rests with the States, denying the
right of Congress to designate TO whom the
right OF suffrage shall be secured and that su ch
attempts are in violation of the Federal Con-
stitu tion, and tending to a consolidation of
power in the Federal Government That any
legislation attempting to do away with the dis
tinctions which God in his infinite wisdom has
decreed among the nations of the earth, should
be discountenanced and opposed as subversiye
OF the laws of nature and good government,
and Rs impious and wicked in resisting and en- =
deavorng to counteract the DEGREES of the Al
mighty, as read in His works. That copies of
these resolutions be forwarded to our Senators
and to our Representatives in Congress, with
instructions that they oppose in these bodies
all legislation regulating the right of suffrage
In this State, or to secure equality among the
races.
