1t will be seen that we opine that those
traitors who are scheming to establish

Il this is our opinion, We are in favor of
the proposed Texas Constitution
which makes tire adoption of the 10th
or negro suffrage, a condition
to the reconstruction or admis-
sion Of the State into the Union? This is
easily answered. We were, before the dis
