In order to reach tbe,generel principle, I
propose ' briefly to -examine this doctrine
enunrliated by -the 'Senator from Bradford: -
Dlr. Landon] - that the elective' franchise is
ono of the naturarrights of mankind. It- is
true the Senator did not enunciate it in spa. ,
oifie terse. His argument was general iI, its
character, but I drew the conclusion that he
claimed It ae t natural right. if I afn wrong
r beg to be corrected here andmow.
Mr. Speaker; I havenlways considered; and
I believe every writer on the subject, has
hiiheito adjudged-that the .natural 'rights of
men are protection to life, to liberty, to rep
utation,. to property. , if the right to vote is
one of the _natural rights,lt should be exer
cised by all mankind with outlimitation as to
age or sex, race or color, at all times, every
where and under all circumstances ; becautp
611 Geverarsents 'profess, at
.least, to furnieh
protection to -life, liberty, reputation and
property. But,, sir. has any government
anywhere, at' any time, granted unlimited,
'unconditionalsuffrage I To State thcpropo-•
Bitten, is to show its absurdity, becaulip if it.
be a natural right it should be exercised , la
all melt, of 'every. age, by both sexes, and at
all times. Has this ever been' done ? I ask
the Senator ' , lilt has ever been permitted
anywhere ? Is it net, on the contrary, a right
which belongs to sad is vested in the whole
body politic, whose exclusive right is to deter
mine, when, where and by whom it skiill•be
exercised; and under what. restrictions? •It is

I commend it' to the dispassionate judgment'
of those Senators who have always, professed
to entertain se great confidence in his opin
