Mr.. MAY spoke in opposition to the res
olution. He would like, he said, to see the
question submitted to the people; but to
vote to submit it in the Senate, and to vote
against the amendment at the polls, as he
should, would be inconsistent, and so he
should vote against submitting it.

MIR. BERRY asked snd obtained leave to

angerous disease has broken out among

Mr.. SAOLER read passage from Shaks-
peare in reply to Mr.. May.
Mr.. MAY-What has that to do with the
question of suffrage?
Mr.. SADLER-It is a part of the same
play that the gentleman from Rlchland
quoted from i'm his speech on the subject.
Mr.. MARTIN followed in favor of the
resolution, advocating it upon the ground
of the manhood of the negro race, their re-
lation to the country and their devotion to
its interests, and as a mea. ure demanded
by every consideration of right as well as
eXpediency.
Mr.. WILLETT next spoke in opposition
to the resolution. His constituents, he said,
were opposed to the measure, and he must
respect their wishes. Besides, the Repub-
licans had the control of this body, and
they must take the responsibility. He in
tended to hold them to that responsibility,
and place them on the record. = 49,
