stutional exclusions against him
that are more sweeping than any

the Southern States. Here is q
section from the constitution of
thai State bearing uponthe negro:
DO free negro or mulatto not
residing in this State at the time
oflthe adoption of this constitu-
tion shall come, reside or be with
the State, or make any contracts,
i ormalntaln any suit therein; and
the legislative assembly shall pro.

negroes and mulattos, and fol
their cffectual exclusion from thi,
State, and for. the punishment OF
persons who shall bring them into
| the State or employ or harbol

Oregon has been considered
generally q Republican State, but

was submitted and it was vo,cc
