Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contemporary American Biography, Vol. 1 Theissue raised before the country is not one of mere sentiment for the rights of the negro; though far distant be the day when the rights of any American citizen, however black or how ever poor, shall form the' mere dust in the balance of any controversy. The issue has taken a far wider range, one of portentous magnitude; and that is, whether the white voter of the North shall be equal to the white voter of the South, in shaping the policy and fixing the destiny of this country; or whether, to put it still more boldly, the white man who fought in the ranks of the Union army shall have as weighty and influential a vote in the government of the Repub lic as the white man who fought in the ranks of the rebel army.
