took occasion to remark for Alabama that We
desired an unequiyocal declaration upon two
points: One was that to the States alone belonged
the rjght to regulate suffrage, and that con Sc
auentiy all the legislation Of Congress relating te
suffrage within the States was in violation of the
icons,itut;on. Aud the other was that all the re-
construction man Of the -pr4e44t*H e4grel
were upconstitptionaI ard void. All prpmptiy
WELDED their Asscnt, and declared their entire viii.
sIingnes. to make the platform on these subjects a.
strong as the South desired. A subcommittee
was appointed to put the resolutions in form and
meetin 9 tho sub committee made its report, the
consideration Of which occupied the entire night
Tnon reconstruction and outrage the resolutions
were no, sufficiently strong and explicit to NEE,
the views Of the Southern delegates. This fact
was first noticed by Mr.. Fitch, from Georgia, who
made M carnes. arpeal to the committee in be-
b,lf Of tho South. General Hampton. of South
Carolina. followed. and in the course OF his re-
marks Denoted the condition Of his State. The

Southern friends might res, assured that ii The
Democratic party was successful, the odious and
unconstitutional measure. Of which thew com
plaiued should be sot aside and the Southern
States nil IL restored to equal rights in the Union
Mr.. Sturrt. of Michigan, then proposed to insert
tho words that the Keconvtruetion asta are mn.
constitutional. revolutionary and void" and asked
hi.Southern friends If that would be satisfactory.
General Hampton responded thls il would. So
all Of us agreed. md these words now stand il
the platform. That portion relating 10 suffrage
vas proposed BY Senator Batafd, Of Delaware, aud
inserted on his motion.
