Excerpt from The Practical Philosopher and True Senator, Vol. 1 Direct Objections to the Favorite Proposed Amendment about Basis of Representation. Temptation to States to extend the right of suffrage to inferior races indiscriminately. Confusion of personal with political equality. Idea of equality welcomed, as against slavery. These differences of opinion, founded on moral and religious feelings, must have a religious toleration. Evils and results of the temptation, to extend the right of suffrage, will bo to complicate our policy in regard to Mexico and other countries on this continent, inhabited by inferior races chiefly. The favorite amendment removes the only check to counteract the temptation to extend the right of suffrage. It is the result of a reckless combination. Its most objectionable clause might, and ought to, be submitted separately. Probable abuse of the clause about citizens of one State having equal rights in all, if the amendment passes.
