Senator Seward on Free Suffrage in New York
Washington May 16 1850 Senator Seward writes that the right of suffrage should extend to the African race as it benefits society and to reflect the electorate’s conscience. He urges gradual extension and expresses respect for the reader in offering his opinion. The piece notes banking debates in Wisconsin and Illinois, including proposed free banking measures and a governor’s veto. It mentions counterfeit ten cent coins from a secret mint and sketches a Rochester con game involving spiritual fakirs arriving to deceive locals.
