SIR: A proposition has been advanced IN
this State to secure from Congress the passage
of law which will allow the Alexandra Con-
stitution, embodying universal negro suffrage,
to be submitted to the people with that com
monty known as the Underwood Constitution,
in order to defeat the latter and now leg you
to inform me, if you will oblige me so Tar, Wna1
your opinion is as to the practcabllity OF TINS
scheme your answer to be used Tor the ihior'
matio of the people OF Virginia.
Very respectfully, Your ob,t servt
JAMES BARRON HOPE.
SENATE CHAMBER,
Washington, Dec. %, 1863.
My DEAR SIR: | have seen a proposition to
submit the "Alexandria Constitution" so call
ed, with negro suffrage added, along with the
one lately passed at Richmond, for the adop-
ton or rejection Of the voters OF Virginia
hope you will not encourage that Tor many
reasons, among which are the following;
lst 1t will divide and weaken the vote OF
the party in the State who really desire the
early restoration ofthe "Old Dominion to the
Union, as | most deyoutly do.
"a. 1t will not be held to be a compliance
with the Law of Congress to pass upon and
adopt Constitution not authorized by Con
gress.
And, finally, what can be gained by 1t? tol
as Congress has prescribed one mode, 1t IS not
likely it will now prescribe another
Salvation is not in many ways but in one
way that one way is compliance in form and
in spirit with the prescribed terms.
When Virginia does that her peace will How
like q river and her prosperity will be like the
waves of the great sea.
Very cordially, &C., &c.
