Sect. 4. ) Now, it is impor- tant to bear in mind that the constitutions of the states I have enumerated, from Kentucky to Alabama, were successively presented to congress for their approbation, and were all ap- proved of by that body. The inference from this fact is un- avoidable, that they were believed by congress to contain no provisions inconsistent with the constitution of the United States. But, if any other than whites are to be considered as comprehended within the clause of the 4th ar...ticle of that instru- ment, the provisions which confined the elective franchise and the power of being elected, to free whites, and expressly ex- cluded negroes, are plainly at variance with the constitution, A free negro, in New York, has the privilege of a citizen, in 54- voting at public elections ; but he is denied that privilege in Kentucky, and Ohio, by the express words of their constitu- tions, which congress has approved. It follows that an inter- diction to the negroes of equal privileges with the whites, has been admitted by that body even in the constitutions of the states north-west of the Ohio.
