Inv colleague. He thinks that clause Of the De
claration Of Independence includes the negro well
as the white man. He declares, therefore. that the
negro and the white man were created equal What
does that Declaration also say: We hold these
truths to be sefevidcnt; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inGlie able right among
which life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness.
If the negro and the white are created egUaL

prive the negro Of that naiienatIe right which he
got directly from God: He SAYS the Republican

they are bound to carry the principle to its logical

because the Supreme Court has decided that he is
not a citizen. The bred Scott decision is in the

logic drove him there, and he had the honesty to
