Hon Lawrence T. Neal, the Demo |
cratic candidate for Governor, was a
member of the Fifty eighth General
Assembly. A few days after he took |
his seat in the House as Representa-
tive from Ross County, or on January |
6. 1868, Democratic colleague from
Franklin County, Mr.. c. T. Mann,
offered a resolution known as House
Joint Resolution No. l, reading as fol
lows:
WHEREAS, On the 11th day of Janu-
ary, 1867, the following joint resolution
was adopted by the General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, to-wit:
WHEREAS, The General Assembly
has received official notification of the
passage by both Houses of the Thirty
ninth Congress of the United States, at |
its first session, of the following propo-
sition to amend the Constitution of the
United States, by a constitutional ma
jority, in the words following, to-wit:
Here follows the famous Fifteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion which confers citizenship on colored
men. The resolution, after reciting
the Amendment as proposed by Con-
gress, goes on to formally ratify the
Amendment. 1t must be borne in
mind that the Legislature which ratified
the Fifteenth Amendment was Repub-
lican. while the one in which Mr.. Neal
sat was Democratic. Then the resolu-
ton. offered by Mr.. Mann went on to
say:
WHEREAS, The provisions of the said
proposed Amendment are ex post facto
in their nature and operation, and con-
fer upon Congress power to legislate on
subjects foreign to original objects of
the Federal compact; and.
WHEREAS. One of the objects to be
accomplished by said proposed Amend
ment was to enforce negro suffrage and
negro political equality in the States;
and.
WHEREAS, The adoption of said reso-
luton was a misrepresentation of the
public sentiment of the people Of Ohio
and contrary to the best interests of the
white race, endangering perpetuity
of our free institutions; therefore,
RESOLVED, By the General Assembly
of the State Of Ohio, that the above re-
cited resolution be and the same is here
by rescinded.
RESOLVED, That the Governor be re-
quested to forward a certified copy of
these resolutions to the President of the
United States and also to each of the
Governors of the respective States and
to the presiding officers of each house
of Congress.
On Saturday, January II. 1868, at the
afternoon session, Mr.. William D. Hill
of Defiance moved to take this resolu-
ton from the table. Mr.. Christopher
Hughes of Butler demanded call Of
the House, and the call was accordingly
made, "a members answering and %
being absent. Proceedings under the
call being dispensed with, DR.. James
Scott of Warren County demanded a
division of the question, but the chair
decided against the demand and an ap-
peal was taken, on which Mr.. Neal
voted to sustain the chair.
Then Mr. Edward Ball of Muskingum
offered an amendment requesting the
President of the United States to return
the certificate of ratification by the Re-
publican Legislature, and that was
agreed to, Mr.. Neal voting in the af
firmative. On the question of adopting
the resolution with Mr.. Balls amend
