kissing among the nations
Rufus P. Spaulding was leading member @

"ln the case OF the alternative being presen

Nathaniel p. Banks, of Massachusetts,, wa
chosen by the black republicans Speaker Of tn
House Of Representatives at the session Of 1856
-6. The following is an extract from one &
his New England speeches:
ALTHOUGH am not one OF that class OF mel
who cry for the preservation of the Union
though am willing under a certain state @
circumstances, to Rti slide, | have no fear Q
its perpetuation. But let me say if the chic
object of the people Of this country be to main
tain and propagate chattel property in man
in other words human slavery-ttis Union ca,
not anS ought mol to stand"
Whilo Mr.. Banks was candidate Tor tn
speakership, he was intcrrogated as to his view
upon an equality Of the sohite and blaek races
Banks was in doubt upon this point; but too
good care not to admit the ineriority of the ne
gro race. He said:
$50 far as he had studied the subject Of m
ces, he had adopted the idea that when ther
is weaker race in existence, it will succumb
and be absorb ed in the stronger race. Th
was the universal law as regarded the races c
men in the world. In regard to the question
whether the white race or the black race wa
SUPERIOR he proposed to wait until time shoul
develop whether the white race would absor
the black, or the back absorb The Whie."
Mr.. Banks was elected by solid, sectiona
abolition vote. 1t appears that previous to b
election, it was demanded that be should pledg
himself to organize the committees of the Hous
upon sectional principles This djsgraceft
stipulation was put through at the instance {
