THE REPRESENTATIVE QUESTION.
Mr.. SUMNER-I ask leave TO send 10 the Chair an
amendment, which hope, at the proper time TO offer
substitute for the apportonment amendment TO the
Constitution which has been under discussion so long
in this Chamber. send it to the Chair and would ask
TO have il read in order that It shall be printed.
The amendment was read as follows:
Ayfiee-Represen,stiyes shall be appointed among the
several States which may be included within TINS ono ac
corng their respective numbers which shall be deter
mined by taking the whole number Of persons and excluding
Indians taxed provided that whenever male citizens Of
the United States the of 81 years shall be excluded
the elective franchise in State, except for papa
ton rebellion the bas OF representation therein sha os
bears 20 the whole number Of male citizens OF the United
s,ares over the ace OF 2 years in such State,
Mr.. SUMSER-I will merely call attention TO the TACT
that that proposition is not open TO any charge oil eva
sion and hope it will be adopted. In the second
place, 1t contains words which can imply any recog
milton of inequality OF rights. In the third place, IT
contains no words which can imply any recognition OF
the right OF State to dsfanchse on account OF color or
race therefore II seems 10 me Tree nom the opections
adduced against the pending proposition.
The motion TO print the proposed amendment was

Mr. SUMNER took the floor in opposition TO the bl.

Mr. Sumner said would be sufficient to make me
pause All three OF them If sustained Will carry you
TO conclusion that this Constitution at least IN Its
present form cannot receive the sanction OF the Senate
Speaking of the irreguariy OF the proceedings MI.
Sumner read from letters received from reliable author
ty he said TO the effect that the Convention when
framed the Constitution Of the State was not elected by
the people but composed OF delegates appointed at
political Several OF the largest counties In the
Territory not represented IN the convention ana
had no part In making the Constitution although they
represented one third of the Territorial population
The Constitution submitted TO the people without
the safeguards aud protection OF law one week IN ad
vance OF the annual Territorial Election. and II was
publicly asserted that If submitted on the same day the
people would have voted ii down. As to the question
Of population. Mr.. Sumner said there were
but 3.G2j votes for the State Constitution
and $50 against it, leaving majority. Of l55
in its favor. The entire population OF the Terri.
tory was less than 10000. MIR. Sumner thought
suCh "A number too small 10 be recognized rs
He then argued that the new State Constitution was
not republican in form because restricted the priVi-
eyes citizenship 10 white persons ms might De re-
piled to that the constitution OF New ork not any
more republican in form than that OF Colorado; but he
would answer that the Constitution OF New YORK was

Mr. STEWART replying to Mr.. Summers objection
