voters" to stick to "them" to indorse and
approve their course in Congress, denying
the right ofinQuiry, comment or dissent Is
not only gratuitous, but an insult TO an in
telligent constituency, and only, commen-
surate with a disregard of the rights and
claims of the white soldiers, (the negro by
them being amply provided for,) in refus-
ing. by large majority, to equalize their
bounty, (as it would cost something,) and
proposing TO vote themselves five thousand
dollars per annum. .lfiiW ..f..H

the District of Columbia against the will
of nine-tenths of the citizens thereof, and
the recent action of Congress comforting
upon the negro the right of an elector in
all the Territories of this government, and
the principle tenaciously adhered to by a
large majority Of the dominant party in
Congress, that the negro shall be enfran-
ehised in every State lately in rebellion
before said State Shall be restored to her
practical relations with the General Cow
ernment, is in direct violation of the Con-
stitution; the vested rights of the citizens
Of each State affected thereby, and entirely
inconsistent with the rights and privileges
guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of
the United States! inf titii- it .-i
