a recent publication in New York Of Geo.
Francis Train, entitled" Young -Ameyt

'' A month hence. and the capitol is

OF negro slavery has occupied our states.

experiment, little practical legislation on
our national laws. our foreign relations,
our internal improvements, our currency,
and all sub ects of vital import to the
American people.
"Since my remembrance, this country
has been legislating for the blacks The
whites have been been neglected. There
are but three millions, of the one, and
twenty-five millions of the other. Now.
while l have the best possible feeling to.

respect for the whites and twenty five

to stand aside. so that tho three millions
of the former might be attended to, I am

"Leave the blacks alone for the next
ten years. and take care of the whites.
The whites deserve moro attention than
Congress has devoted to them, and, hav-
Ing legislated for the blacks for so long a

right Of the majority to protest against
anything more being done for so incon.
