Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1861-04-09

he recOnms mshdstion q the majority Of che gu- I
iiciar.1 committee. The vast amount Of npsi1
neas yet to be transacted, and the lateneae Of 9
the session, adIponish mo that should not take u
up the timeof the House BY o lengthy speech. J
The Importance, however, of the proposition
contained In the bill before the House Is so l
great that ] cannot permit the report OF the IL
committee to be agreed TO-, aud the bill In .
definitely postponed, without explaining the |
provisions Of the bill. Every man upon this
floor is aware that our State is this day being
hlled up by the colored people from the various
States of this Union. Southern States have
passed laws compelling the free negroes to leave
those States, and many OF the Northern States
have upon their statute books laws prohibiting
the immigration and settlement Of negroes IN
their respective States. While this Is the fact,
Ohio has, by her legislative acts and her judi.
cal decisions, thrown widelopen the gates, and
invited the refuse blacksof the whole earth to
flock to and settle In the State. with tho hope
that at no very distant day they would have
the right Of suffsage bestowed upon themi and
they have come down upon us in swarms, ae
did the frogs and lice upon the devoted people |
Of ancient days. This bill, as s titlesindicates,
is intended to protect the interest OF the me-
chanic and lsborer. Every man upon this hoor
Is fully aware that our State Is being filled to
the full with the refuse blacks from other
States, and when here, they will do, as they
have already done, work for ten cents day
and white beans, and the white mans la
Dor is brought In competition with the labor OF
the black man, with corresponding reduction
of wages In his case Petition after petition,
have poured In upon US from all sections OF the
State for the passage of this bill Shall we turn
deaf ear to the earnest prayer OF those we
pretend to represent, and refuse to pass this
bill? Mr.. Speaker, it is out of no spirit OF
hostility to the colored people of this State,
that ! introduced and urge the passage
of this BILL The colored Inhabitants ask
its passage, as measure calculated
to protect them from being run over by the
surplus negroes of other States Sir, In the city
of zsnesville, where there Is q large eolored
population, (and, as q general thing, r{specta
BILE, honest and moral people,) the colored peo-
pie are very anxious for the passage of this BILL
But, cir, men Of all political parties, of all con-
} ditions in lie, have Joined in sending up, from
the east and from the west, from the north and
south, their united prayers for the passage Of
this bill and shall we refuse to hearken to their
, entreaties, aud spurn the desire Of the people2
Sir, there are many deep and lasting reasons
4 why the recommendation Of the majority OF the
committee should not be agreed to, and the bill
8 as il Ia, pass and become the law of the State;
r but time will not now permit me tu enlarge up
!, on the subject, and must content myself by
= demanding the yeas and nays.
D The previous question was demanded and
sustained, when the question turned on ordering
d the bill to be engr0ssed, on which the vote wet
