The disap. pointed negroes joined with their eympathizing white Brethren ‘a ringing the matter through the streets @f the capital, declaring that the Secretary of State ed suprremed the paper which authorized the peo- ple to vote upon biack suffrage. Indignant, a#any bonor- ble man naturally would, and ought to be, be despatched hie chief olerk, in company with one of the republican Oditors of Albany, to the executive chamber in the Capi- tol, for the purpose of discovering, if possible, the missing ocument. Gov. King was present, but did mot seem to take much interest in the affair, He, too, being opposed to universal black voting, was apparently weconcerned. Bowever, after a careful and protracted search, the miss. ing paper was discovered snugly deposited in one of the pigeon holea of the executive chamber. The boot was Row placed on the other foot, Lnstead of denouncing Mr. Becretary Headley any longer, the negroes and their empecia! friends freely apologized for their hasty and ‘unjust censure of the Georolary. Then Gov. King was geaiied with cquel virulence, disrespect and venom. Many of the leading nagroes of both colors went so far as to accuse the leaders of the republican party of a preme- @itated intention of defeating the matter. K was finally Aiscoverod that the resolutions were sent to the executive chamber by Samuelj?. Allen, Clerk of the Senate. An experienced officer, as he war, it was readily believed “that he had also a desicn in sending them to the exeou- Live pigeon holes, whore they would slumber unmolested. ‘This condoct prevented a vote of the people at that time, Decanse before the papers were discovered tbe time had @tapeed in which the Secretary of State was directed to famve the necessary notice, The blacks, becoming enraged, ‘openly accused Thurlow Weed with baving parposely do- fracde! them. Threats wore directly made that the eleven thousand colored yotes under the property quali- fication, which had uniformly been cast in a body for re. poblican candidates, should, therefore, be withkeld from that party. Bot before the next <lection arrived, the Begroes became conciliated by & pledge from E D. Mor- gan, then candidate for Governor, that if they would sup. port b.m for the offi.e tbe proposed amendment should be readopted by the two Legisiatures, if republican, daring his term of office. This pledge, together with the mosey gooompany ing it, was satisfactory, The negroes all voted for Morgan, be was elected, he kept his word like an nemoradie man as be is, the resolvtions were readopted by the two last Logisiatures, the docament was regularly deposited in the cfiice of the Secretary of State, and pow Ube people are notified legally tbat at the general election tm November the electors are to decide whether they wil go muillate the constitation aa to give all the runaway ne- from the South, oa thelr way to Canada on the un- derground railroad, the right to vote for all the civil ofi- cers of this State government. Let of look into the history of this negro voting contro- verry for s moment. The firet constitution eatad| ished for and by the people of tue Sidle of New York wae in Uhelyear 1777. Aconvention aneembied for that purpose im the village of Kingston, Ulster county, in the month of April of that year, It was during the early part of our Strogg'e for independence from Groat Britaia. At that Aime there were few or nofree blacks inthis State. They ‘wore mostly slaves, and of course, as it is now in the Boutbern States, they could not expect to exercise the elective franchiee. Therefore the framers of the first con- slitution, being mostly tlavebolders, as well as their con- stitoents at the time, made no provision in relation to Begro Foting, not anticipatthg anything of the kind. ‘The macner in which the fret constitution originated and wee adopted is this —A convention of representatives of the State of New York asscmWied immediately after the Deciaration, to take into consideration the exciting state of affaire. That Convention threw off the style of “colo ay,” and mubstituted a “State government.” A commit Lee wae appointed to prepare the draft of a State constitu. toe and report the same at fome subse, ent periyt The Pellowing distinguished patriots constituted that impor tant committee, vir —Jote Broom, Charlies De Witt, Wil- Mam Dover, John 8. Hobert, John say, Robert R. Living- tem, Gouverneur Morris, John Morin Scott, William Bmith, Samuel Townsend, Heary Wisner, Abraham Yates fend Robert Yates. The report wae made Merch, 1777. ‘The discussion upon it occupied nearty a month, when it was a.opted as the {iret constitution of the State of New York, and many of the wisest mon of the present day passions and the follies of the day, plating the objects of their meeting, aud the saored- ness of the trast reposed in them. * * * my part, I come here determined 9 for- bear, resolved to suppress every emotion un friendly to cool, calm and patient investigation.” Thus solemnly spoke the late Ghief Justice Spencer wken enter- ing upon the duties of remodelling the constitution of ‘3777, established by the Revolutionary fathers. As the negroes had voted under tais constitution down ‘to 1821, an effort was made in that Convention to allow them eqaal saffrage with the whites. Mr. Ross, a dele- gate from Genesee county, opposed it. He said:—‘' That all men arc created free aad equa! is fe maxim tree only in a @tate of nature. In seciety thie general equality trained for the public good. On this principle the blacks ere excluded. They are required to perform no duty, Dear no burthens.
