On the following day, this joint resolution was the regular order, and gave rise to a brief discussion. Mr. Boutwell desired to offer an amendment providing that Tennessee should have representation in Congress whenever, in addition to having ratified the constitutional amendment, it should establish an "equal and just system of suffrage."
