The child would be much morelikely to endanger himself and his friends by the pistol than toprotect himself. A perfectly ignorant man who can not read his ballotis much more likely to use it to his own detriment, and to thedetriment of the country, than he is to use it for the benefit ofeither. " "The argument in favor of making the right to vote universal, " saidMr. Frelinghuysen, in making a second speech upon the question, "isthat the ballot itself is a great education; that by its encouragi...ngthe citizen, by its inspiring him, it adds dignity to his character, and makes him strive to acquire learning. Secondly, that if the votingdepended on learning, no inducement is extended to communitiesunfavorable to the right of voting in the colored man to give him theopportunity to learn; they would rather embarrass him, to prevent hismaking the acquisition, unless they were in favor of his voting; whileif voting is universal, communities, for their own security, for theirown protection, will be driven to establish common schools, so thatthe voter shall become intelligent.
