UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
Speech, of Hon. Morrow B. Lowry, in the
Senate of Pennsylyania, ou the Constitu
tional Amendment, Wednesday Evening,
March 10, 1569.
Mr. Speaker, had I followed the inclina
tions of my own feelings and been admon
ished by my want of strength, I would not
reply to Senators; but, Mr. Speaker, I
have a duty to perform and I will perform
it to the best of my ability, with what
little strength I have remaining.
This scene to-night .reminds me of one
that occurred in this Senate Chamber in
1566. The matter then under discussion
was the question of suffrage in the District
of Columbia; and that humane measure
was opposed then, as all advances in civ
ilization have been for the last quarter of
a century, by gentlemen from the other
side of the house.
The then Senator from Ilerks [Mr. Cly
mer] made an able speech in opposition to
the measure. That speech was intended
to carry him into the executive chair. 1
think it was the ablest effort of his life.
I desired that abler Senators should re
ply to him. They saw proper not to do
so, and that duty devolved upon me, and
I replied to him as best I could. I will
just here give a few extracts of what then
passed. In reply to the Senator from
Berk; [Mr. Clymer] I said:
" The evidence is before us. We must have
the loyal votes of all men on this continent,
white or black, or with him we perish. Our
country—her currency, religion, law, order,
justice, humanity—will go down in blood if
we refuse to enfranchise the black. Spare us,
0 God! from "Bull Run" defeats at the
polls ! Without the enfranchisement of those
who helped us in war, we cannot prosper in
peace. Oppression cannot live in a soil warm
ed only by the sun of freedom. This "irre
pressible conflict " is fairly upon us. " This
Government cannot exist haleslave and half
free," were the words of one who when he
them gave utterance, little realised that he was
the first public martyr, whose blood is the first
seed of the freedmen's church.
" Those who would bequeath freedom to our
children, must not deny it to a race who has
assisted ns in maintaining our own.
"The Senator from Berks [ Mr. Clymer] and
all his party, desire to make negro suffrage iu
the District of Columbia the test at the ap
proaching election.
"We have met and defeated him in the
forum and his allies in the field upon all other
questions ; now let us meet him upon an issue
overshadowing them all and which we cannot
postpone longer if we would.
The Senator from Berks will go to the
people upon dead issues • mistaken principles
and vulgar prejudices of ihe past. Let las meet
him with living, practical, vital truths.
"The equality of man's right to defend
himself, his family and his country, is the
pivot upon which the approaching political
contest turns. Give the Senator from Berks
the issue he so ardently pants for. Men in
every school house throughout the land will
speak with the eloquence of Cieero, for the
immortal truths enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson.
"Patrick Henry will be fonnd standing at
every four corners, appealing to the judgment,
the justice, the conscience, the patriotism and
the pockets of the people.
" This question should not have been dodged
by the Republicans at the last State Conven
tion. in Pennsylvania. In all contests it is
better to be right than to obtain success by
dodging a coming issue of principle.
"Supposing, sir, we had made negro suf
frage in the District of Columbia an issue in
the last contest. Suppose, sir, that our stand
ard bearers had fallen—they would have made
a more glorious immortality in such a defeat
than in such a victory as we obtained."
And I tell the Senator from 'Jerks [Mr.
Davis] just here that I never was more
willing to go before the people upon any
issue than I was upon that. But again I
said:
"The Senator iron: Berke says that voting
in the District of Columbia Li an entering
wedge elsewhere.
" I grant it is a wedge that, when driven,
will split open the prejudices of us all.
"Allow the African to vote in the District
of Columbia, and it is a bow of promise set in
Heaven, a covenant made with God; that the
truths of the fathers shall be revenged. Voting
in that District will be hailed as the star of
Bethlehem, as v. Savior's birth V.ac.e to a re
deemed ra
" Deny the negro suffrage, keep him uned
ucated, and not one drop of blood shed in this
war but what has been shed in vain.
" He who controls the destinies of us all,
will never leave and forsake this patient and
devoted people. If one Moses becomes faint
or time serving, another will arise courageous,
just and strong.
"The Senator from Berke took the wrou :
first step in the war, and he is traveling on
ward ; I took the right step early o saw the end
from the beginning, and shall keep time with
the logic of events.
"The experiment has been tried and failed.
You cannot maintain a free government in
name and violate it in practice. In the efforts
to maintain out government on false premi
ses, it has cost us three hundred thousand of
the bravest of our race, and a debt that will
tax the cotton, the coffee, the sugar, the coffin
and the shrouds of our grand children.
"The injustice of the Senator from Berks
is to be found in the kind of lip service towards
the redeemed slave. He would educate him.
lie would not re-enslave him, and yet, under
no circumstances, would he let him protect
himself, nis race or his family at the ballot
box."
Mr. DAvls. Will the Senator allow me
to interrupt him one moment? The Sen
ator was kind enough to send me some of
his speeches during
. the campaign, and I
did not find that he said in finxof them
that negro suffrage was the issue.
Mr. Low It Y. 11r. Cipher, when a can
didate, came into my district with his re
cord under his arm and charged it upon
me with all the eloquence and force he
could command, right in the face of my
constituents. I followed him with my re
cord and told them so too. In my section
the issue was fairly made up, so far as I
was concerned, and fairly contested.
My true position on this question is,
and always was, that I would meet it and
dispose of it in any way, manner, and at
any time practicable, so that the great
principles involved and the great ends
aimed at be attained, so that universal
suffrage and equal and exact justice to all
men be so firmly planted upon our soil
that the storms of a bogus Democracy and
the whirlwinds of treason can never up
root them.
For thirty years our State Constitution
has been a warrant under seal for the corn
mission of a most unblushing outrage.
The action of the convention of 1838, in
disfranchising the colored citizens of
Pennsylvania, guilty of no crime against
the State, or against Society, by inserting
the word " white," was an act condemn
ed by every rudiment of civilization and
by every principle of law and justice.
That outrage Las been perpetuated by
us, and Senators tell us that the people of
Pennsylvania would to-day perpetuate it
if it were left to a vote of the people.
This, of itself, would justify the Federal
power in reaching forth its strong arm
and arresting it, and crushing it forever.
In. reply to the Senator from Fayette
[Mr. .Searight] I would say as I said on <
former occasion, this is a great morn
question, and one that we are not obliged
to submit to the people. Questions of
morality may be properly disposed Qf here
without a popular vote. This, sir, is a
moral outrage of such a character that it
must be reached by the law; and if law or
constitutional power does not exist to
reach the case,then, sir, such constitution
al power and law must be created.
If it is true that the people are prepar
ed to vote down this measure, then, sir, it
should not be submitted to them. I said
once upon a former occasion in relation to
submitting a question of morality to the
people, and it will apply with equal force
here, "that there were more votes in a
barrel of whisky than there are in the ten
commandments."
The Senator from Betts [Mr. Davis]
seems to be wonderfully agitated lest we
destroy the Republican party. His sym
pathies in that direction are certainly of
recent date; but I tell him,
and I tell the
Senate. and I publish it to the world, that
he need have no fears. The good sense of
the people of Pennsylvania, on the sober
second thought, will not repudiate a sin
gle Republican Senator for his vote here
to-night; but history will place 14er seal of
infamy upon the name, fame and posteri
ty of every man who records 1
against this righteous measure. ut
generations will read with wonder and
disgust that men living in a Christian
laud, sworn upon the Bible and the Cross,
should be thus unjust. Their names will
rank higher upon the scroll of infamy that
those of the Puritans who banished Beget
Williams and burned witches in New.
England.
The gentleman has amused himself by
telling the old mythical story about the
New England people, resolving that they
were gods, saints. &e. Now I would ask
him: Why are you attempting to fix the
statue of God's own created intelligent
beings, other than he himself has fixed it.
Why are you attempting to usurp the
prerogatives of Jehovah and place one
human being higher than another before
the law?
Three hundred years of light and know I
rdgv Lk:at , beamed upon this land since
HON. MORROW B. LOWRY,
State Senator from Erie County.
those old New England days. and they
have failed to fructify the hardened ele
ments of Democracy; or bring lbrth one
tender, fragrant blossom of human kind
ness. Harder are their hearts than the
granite hills of New England. and more
sterile are their bosoms to the growth of
. • anitv.
The Senator from Fayette [Mr. searight j
asks why negro suffrage was not incorpo
rated in the Chicago platform. I, sir,
always denounced the Chicago platform as
the work of cowards. I always believed
and believe yet, that Grant would have
polled more votes than he did had the
issue been fairly made. I was myself a
delegate at large to both conventions that
nominated Mr. Lincoln. and was both
times on the committee on platform. and
labored hard to brinr , b the platform up to
what I conceived to be the true spirit of
the times ' but our stubble was burned and
we made brick without straw.
But were we not charged with Oa; straw
whether we had it or not? 'Democratic
influences were our taskmasters—it was
they that burned our stubble, and through
all of our late campaigns we have been
charged with aiming at the enfranchise
ment of the negro race with an earnest
ness that carried conviction to the hearts
of every man that could be induced to
vote the Democratic ticket; yet we were
not defeated. If there is any odium at
tached to this measure in the minds of
the people, it has been fastened to our
skirts for years by the Democracy, and
we yet survive; and while I have no sym
pathy with the cowardly influences that
so long held us in abeyance to a defunct
power. I have to-day no hesitancy in bid
ding defiance to our enemies.
The Senator uttered agreat truth to-night,
that this is au age of progress. Men are
progressing everywhere, except on the
Democratic side of this chamber. There
has been great progress in the world, and
I thank God for it. I had hoped that ex
perience would have taught them that the
world moves, and it is time that they
moved with it.
We are now engaged in reconstructing
this Government to adapt it to the progress
of the age. Let us place its foundations
firmly upon the rock ofeternal justice and
truth. The foundations of disloyalty to
the works of the Creator's hands, upon
which we have heretofore stood, have cost
us five hundred thousand new made graves,
and carriel mourning into every house
hold. Let us not build it up in the rights
of man. One man under it will destroy
it. His tears will wash away its founda
tions, though they were made of granite,
and the throbbings of his hc.trt will over
turn and destroy the superstructure,
though it were built as high as our motui-
Utins.
MR. BROWN (Northampton / . Will the
- later allow himself to be interrupted?
Mu. LOWRY. Certainly, sir.
MR. BROWN (Northampton). Who
does the Senator call disloyal? lie has
talked a great deal about disloyalty.
MR. LOWRY". By disloyal men I mean
those who opposed us in our efforts to
put dowu the rebellion—who resisted,
and counseled resistance to the draft—who
discouraged enlistments-who prated about
the unconstitutionality of emancipation,
and iveho attempted to spread discontent
arid mutiny in our camps by urging here
proposals to pay the soldiers in gold when
it wait utterly impracticable so to do.
That entering wedge of which Mr.
Clymer spoke has done its work. It has
split the prejudices of the nation. Mr.
Clymer's prediction has been verified,
and I have lived to see a nation coming up
to the
,position I have occupied for years.
I see thiii day the grand old State of Penn
sylvania, always tardy in her movements,
coming forward deliberately but with
majesty, through her most august legisla
ti4e body, and in the presence of the pale
face of a fading Democracy, attaching her
signature to the most glorious charter of
liberty that ever blessed the American
continent.
Did the Senator from Philadelphia [Mr.
MiCaNDLEas], when he challenged me
AMU , all hoary locks, or the Senator
" • Berke [Mr. DAVIS], when he face
tiously asks if I was about to falter at the
last moment, when victory was within
our reach, suppose for one inoment that I
would go back on the record of former
years, and pander to a power ,that has
been dead so long that it stinketh? The
record I have made on this question, I
intend to leave untarnished by blot or
stain, as a rich legacy to my children,
and my children's children forever!
The possession of power, or place, or
transient honors, or the fleeting pladits of
a multitude are all too cheap to buy the
living cherished principles of a lifetime.
This has been to me, sir, a cherished prin
ciple, dearer to my heart than the
proudest posilign on earth ; and this day,
sir, is the pr est day of my life.
This amendment is the John the Baptist
of the millions now "crying in the wilder
ness, make straight the laths of the Lord,
in Africa ; strew them with Bible truths,
and erect churches and Sabbath schools
in every waste place in North and South
A merica.
And now, Mr. Speaker, I will vote for
this amendment because it takes a crown
of thorns from the temples of a redeemed
race.
I wiii vote for it because the devotees of
freedom demand it.
I will vote for it because the traitors
, throughout the whole land will vote
against it.
I will vote fur it because I believe it to
b 3 the grand design of the Almighty that
this govreument should redeem and re
generate the downtrodden of the earth.
I will vote for it, and against leaving it
to the people at this crisis, because I fear
that sickly Republicans may become weak'
and be hissed from their duty at the polls
by depraved, brazen-faced Democrats.
I will vote for it because it will promote
peace on earth and good will among men.
I will vote for it, because it is the liv
ing stone cut from the mountains that
, must be the corner stone of reconstruc
tion.
It is the spiritual adoption, and the ad
mission to probate of the will of our
fathers—the alpha and omega of the Re
publican bible.
It is taking up the cross of our own
It is the washing away of our own sins
to save our children from anarchy.
It is the fundamental keysts wa of Repub
lican
It is our giving way to the steady
steppings of Jehovah—the will of the Al
' mighty grinding slowly, but exceedingly
' tine.
I will vote fur it because it is the con
quest of the cross over inequality, infidel
ity, idolatry and barbarity.
I will vote for it, because it is the only
way whereby the whole mass of mankind
can be impregnated with the blessings of
universal civilization.
I will vote for it, because it will build
furnaces, rolling mills, cotton factories,
corn elevators, and will elevate man.
I will vote for it, because loyal men
and God's people want it, and because
disloyal people and the devil's people do
not want it.
I will vote Mr it, because it will add to
the wealth of the country. and help to pay
our national debt.
I will vote for it, Iv:cause it is an act
that will make an:rels sodic and devils
frown.
I will vote fur it, because the African
cannot be recreated in the image of God
without it.
I will vote for this amendment be
cause it will educate the iomorant, expand
free principles, protect the rights of the
humble, be salvation to the down-trodden,
enrich all, impoverish none, elevate man
kind, ukvate the christian character, heal
the ills of the oppressed, be balm to the
woes of the unfortunate, stimulate man's
conscience to do right, wash away our
national sins in the river of life, raise
altras to God on the foundation of prison
pens, heal discord, baptize rebels with the
spirit of freedom, and in the end cause
them to join with their enslaved ones in
singing :
" All hail the power of Jeans' naa.. , ,
Let angels prostrate fall ;
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all."
Mr. Speaker, I find that my strength is
failing. I intmded to say something in
answer to the gentleman on the legal
points of this question.
The SPEAKER. The i:,en Litman 's
