From the Times Of May 29l
Such policy as ours with Brazil may be Just not
honorable not necessary not; but one thing Is
tain-t is policy which must come 10 end. and the
longer it is persisted in the moe dangerous is suppos

negroes and supposng that the and people Of
that country wish import them aud only prevented

policy at home Statesmen who are always checking

Of negro labor, which, without involving US with all

allowable measures, from kind OF philanhropc or po-
