Negro Suffrage

Summary

Extracts from President Johnson’s speeches show that he is an advocate of negro suffrage, yet Frederick County’s Johnsonites slander the Union Party as favoring negro suffrage when it is they, as supporters of Johnson, who support negro suffrage. If they too oppose negro suffrage, then their support of Johnson “is a mockery.”
