II l go into the Convention, go as one
thoroughly believing that all citizens should
stand as equals before the law. Principle
ana Polcy ootn ailke demand snlss Crime
should receive Ike punishment by whomsO-
everIcommitted.; Every citizen is equally
bound TO support the government which
protects him, at all times by his taxes, and
lnltme Of war by his strong arm. All, thus
sharing in its burthenss should also share its
privileges and protection. SO every citizen,
loyal to the government, ,should enjoy, the
freeman's highest preH0gativo thsfight TO the
ballot. And every citizen should enjoy the
privilege, OF sending his children to free
School, supported by an equal tax upon
every citizens property. If member Of
the Convention, my vote will at oil times
be given for laying the foundations of the
Ssate upon these, as believe, sound and en-.
during principles of equality and Justice. The
State should know neither rich, nor poor 4
white nor black but its burdens resting
equally upon all shoulder, let all share
