amendment to strike out thirty days ana

Mr.. Moore SAID that the Constitution
provides that every male person born In
the United States and every naturalized
citizen who shall have attained the age OF
81, and been residentin the State thirty
days shall be an .electot If it had been
the design to require residence OF ninety
days they would have 50 explained it
Surely, if man is eligible to vote Tor the
highest offices, he is eligible to- vote for
the lower. As municipality IS a political
corporation, its elections should be gov
erned as are State elections, You might as
well require man to residein the city hve
years as to require a residence aof ninety
+, days. If you pass from the term named by
the Constitution, where will you stopf
You, might as, well adopt the. principle
embodied in the bill presented the other
day by the Senator from Pasquotank, and
require property qualification, as to re-
quire residence Of, ninety days.. For the
Constitution is explicit in its provision in
both cases. If you can say in violation OF
one section that h man must have ninety
days residence in order to be voter, then
you have equal right in violation Of an
other section, TO require a properly qualifi-
cation. I do hope, that in their haste to
abrogate the Constitution, gentlemen will
not fail to regard it as the supreme law
while it is the Constitution, and that there
shall be no legislation in contraventioh of
it while it is the law Mr. President, there
shall be no such Legislation if my vote can
prevent it. se3 6zs. f.e.osf 80
