COLoRED ELECTORS. By a report published
in the New Yolk Herald, Of the proceedings of
the New York State Convention to form a new
Constitution, it appears, that section has been
adopted (which provides for the separate sub
mission to the people ola proposal to place CO.
sored electors upon a footing of equality with
white men," We have no idea that this pro-
position will be sanctioned by the votes of the
people ofthe empire State; but if it should, and
the colored people of the State be admitted to
the unrestricted right Of suffrage, it will afford
abundant materials for the operations of poll
tical domagogues-and we may, possibly, have
the satisfaction of seeing the President Of the


United States elected by the colored voters of
New York. Whilst we would protect the CO.


Iored population in the enjoyment OF every pr-
vilege consistent with their condition, we
should consider it exceedingly injudiclous to
invest them with rights which they are notor-
ously incompetent to exercise with judgment
or discretion. lfthey be entitled to the rlgh's'
ofsuffrage, Why should they not be considered
qualified ts hold Office Of any description!-
