Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1867-07-26

No stronger exemplifcation of the preju-
dice existing against negroes even in the
North could well be given than that furnish
ed by the refusal of the New York State Re-
form Convention to allow separate vote to
be taken upon the question Of extending the
unrestricted right Of suffrage to them. A
large majority Of the members of the Con-
vention are Radicals, or Republicans, yet 50
much afraid are they to face the people upon
this question that they have evaded the force
of the issue by compelling the voters either
to reject the whole constitution or to ALLOW
negroes without property to vote. The Dem
ocrats wished the suffrage question to be sub
United separately. The Radicals saw the
danger there would be to their ascendancy
in such a contest as would thus be inaugu-
rated and hid themselves under the wings Of
other reforms" But they will yet be smok-
ed out if the Democrats are bold and wise
dispatch.
