Yet to elect Abraham Lincoln, the right of suffrage was extended to free negroes in Vermont, Massachusetts, Ohio, New York and other Northern States, although the Supreme Court has declared them not to be citizens of this nation.

The memory of our fathers is slandered when this is declared to be according to the Constitution. –Thomas R. R. Cobb,

November 12, 1860
