It is also unsatisfactory to some that the elective franchise is not given to the colored man. I would myself prefer that it were now conferred on the very intelligent, and on 30 those who serve our cause as soldiers. Still, the question is not whether the Louisiana govern- 94 ABRAHAM LINCOLN ment, as it stands, is quite all that is desirable. The ques- tion is, will it be wiser to take it as it is and help to im- prove it, or to reject and disperse it? Can Louisiana be brought into . Proper pr...actical relation with the Union, S sooner by sustaining or by discarding her new State gov- ernment? Some 12, 000 voters in the heretofore slave State of Louisiana have sworn allegiance to the Union, assumed to be the rightful political power of the State, held elections, organized a State government, adopted a 10 free-State constitution, giving the benefit of public schools equally to black and white, and empowering the legislature to confer the elective franchise upon the colored man. Their legislature has already voted to ratify the con- stitutional amendment recently passed by Congress, is abolishing slavery throughout the nation.
