REV. LAWS ON SUFFRAGE.
THE DISTINGUISHED COLoRED DIVINE
DISCUSSES UNIVERSAL LIBERTY.
To the editor of the BEE /:

To the editor of the BEE:
The thought for public inter
est, which mostly impresses me
now, is the question Of suffrage.
Not moved for any reply to that
unfit for statesman, Congressman
Oates, of Alabama, because if be
has been i'll the world long enough
to be a political crank because
Southern rebels are given equal
liberty with loyal citizens, and
don't know by this time that suf-
frage to the colored American race
implies citizenship, and that citi,
zensbip in this country, where the
fourteenth and fifteenth Articles to
our national Constitution are in
separable elements of American
liberty. then it is too late, either to
add speed to the night Of his un-
avOidable fate, or to train him into
such national principles as would
make qualified statesman. Bat
my intention at this time is to
speak of suffrage in such general
way as to make it both applicable
to the District of Columbia and to
the several states of the American
union as well.
The Fourteenth Article to the
American Constitution reads thus:
Section 1st. "All persons born or
naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United
States, and of the State wherein
they reside. No state shall make
or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immuni-
ties of citizens of the United States:
nor shall any state deprive any
person of life, liberty or property,
without due process of law; nor
deny to any person within it's jur-
isdlction the equal protection of
the laws"
The fifteenth Article, which re-
flutes all objections, corrects all
mistakes and confrms all claims TO
universal suffrage, reads as follows:
"The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be-
denied or abridged by the United
States Or by any state on account
OF race, color or previous condition
of servitude.'
And the trustees of these national
constitutional rights are the Con.
gress itself including the lnimical
Oates. a destroyer of human rights.
for section I'd reads that "Congress
shall have power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation.D
The transfer of the administra-
tion from party to party neither
contemplated or implied a change
In our constitutional prerogitives
OF either race. The words "all
persons born or naturalzed are
citizens of the United States," and
the words "the right of citizens of
the United States to vote,'' are
also inseparable.
THESE declarative assertions con.
stitutionally embrace in their cit.
izenshlp the people of the District
OF Columbia, or else the old and
new Corners Of this District are no
portion OF the American citizen
ship alluded to in the Fifteenth
article, which says that "the
rights of the citizens Of the United
States to vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States
or by any state, on account of race
color or previous condition of SER
