Florida they thus resolved IN their bo-
gus convention, and though the CRY was
stifed in Congress, it shall powbe heard:
Resozued, That the Congress of the
United States be, and it hereby is, re-
qqested to propose an amendment to
the Constitution Of the United States,
to. be submitted to the different States
for their adoption, establishing equal
and uniform suffrage for adj male citi-
zens of the United States throughout
all the States of the Union - rs
More than this, even in the Times
and Tribune, cautious as they are from
the exigencies of the canvass, there
peeps out this purposeto elfrahchise the
African in all the States. Muttering
ahoutNthe election; o. negroes from the
pretended Legislature Of Georgia, they
hint that the XIVth amendment gives
that race right to hold Office. q So,
then, as that amendment, so far as tits
an amendment, is equally applicable to
all the States, it follows that by it the
negro has as good a right to Office in
New York as in Georgia, in Ohio as in
Louisiana. Of course this will be de-
MED The saints are forever denying
something that they afterwards do.
They denied emancipation, subjugation,
negro suffrage South, but they did them
for all that, and, Just as they now deny
any purpose to force negro suffrage in
the North, they will surely do5ft, if in
their power. Counted in States, negro
suffrage is ten out of thirty:seven in
Senator's, it is twenty out of seventy
four; in Representatives fifty out of
two hundred and forty-three in electo-y
raj votes, seventy out of three hundred
and seventeen. This is the balance of
