Henry Onderdunk declares against negro enfranchisement in 1867 address
In a September 24, 1867, letter from Gariptous Henry M Onderdunk argues against extending suffrage to African Americans, contending the Negro is of a different origin and inferior yet deserving protection of life and property. He supports government bond payment in legal tender to curb inflation and reduce debt, and denounces corruption while pledging district-focused effort. He also notes local political endorsements for Martin Crain as Judge and promotes the Democratic Enquirer publication.
