ch belong exclusively to the citizens of any other
particular State.

The learned Justice Story declared that the intention of the
clause--"the citizens of each State shall be entitled, to all the
privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States"--was
to confer on the citizens of each State a general citizenship,
and communicated all the privileges and immunities which a
citizen of the same State would be entitled to under the
circumstances. (Story on the Constitution, vol. 2, p. 605).

In the case of the Bank of the United States _vs._ Primrose, in
the Supreme Court of the United States, Mr. Webster said:

That this article in the Constitution (art. 4, sec. 2) does
not confer on the citizens of each State political rights in
every other State, is admitted. A citizen of Pennsylvania
can not go into Virginia and vote at any election in that
State, though when he has acquired a residence in Virginia,
and is otherwise qualified, is required by the Constitution
(of Virginia), he becomes, without formal adoption as a
citizen of Virginia, a citizen of that State politically.
(Webster's Works, vol. 6, p. 112).

It must be obvious that Mr. Webster was of opinion that the
privileges and immunities of citizens, guaranteed to them in the
several States, did not include the privilege of the elective
franchise otherwise than as secured by the State Constitution.
For, after making the statement above quoted, that a citizen of
Pennsylvania can not go into Virginia and vote, Mr. Webster adds,
"but for the purposes of trade, commerce, buying and selling, it
is evidently not in the power of any State to impose any
hindrance or embarrassment, etc. upon citizens of other States,
or to place them, going there, upon a different footing from her
own citizens." (Ib.) The proposition is clear that no citizen of
the United States can rightfully vote in any State of this Union
who has not the qualifications required by the Constitution of
the State in which the right is claimed to be exercised, except
as to such conditions in the constitutions of such States as deny
the right to vote to citizens resident therein "on account of
race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
