While 1 at all times am ready to co-operate with you in any measures you may deem essential in the premises, 1 Am apprehensive that it might be misconstrued and question whether Congress can be better impressed with the feelings and sense of this community on this subject by the test contemplated in the joint resolution. The preponderance of sentiment in this com- munity, so manifestly in opposition to the ex- tension of the right of suffrage to that class, and in the manner proposed in those bills, is so well understood that there can be no misapprehen- sion on the subject either in or out of Congress, and will, as it shouid, doubtless have its in- the motion to refer had not pre sentiments of the communication and his views agreed exactly. The Boards had meddied with the question too much already, and he moved that the communication be accepted.
