op,vroxs OF REPUBLICAN SENAIOhs.

Il was but few days ego that oena.
-, nool,tle. of Wisconsin, delivered
an able speech in the Senate Of inc
limited States, wherein he took occasion
most empha,ic.lly, to protest asa'as'
the liberation and emancipation OF negro
.l.vs,. unless provision should at tie
..n. time be made to provide means
g. ,he;r colonization in some Southern
latitude. and by themselves. Mr..
Doolittle is q Republican member, but
one Of those who looks below tho sur
face of the question he then treated.
7, would be better for the country, bet.
Tor for slaves themselves, if there we're
more Senators of the Same stamp in
Congress.
SuI moro recently, Senator Brown
ing, another Republican from Illinois,
and the successor OF Senator Douglas,
has recorded his opinion on the slavery
question. His position does not differ
materially from that Of Senator Doolit'
tie. Mr.. Browning said:
Now, sir, know that communities OF
free negroes are not a very des'rab e
population anywhere. I may be mis-.
taken in my view Of this subject, but l
do no. believe that the races ever can
1--we together in harmony and with
mutual advantage to each other; and,
hostile az every feeling aud sentiment
of nv nature is to system OF human
bondage, I am by no means sure, 'oh'le
the races do commune together, that 1t IS
not better for them both TO CONTINUE
TOGETHER IN THE RELATION OF MASTER
AND SLAVE.
The main point of difference between
Mr.. Dooittle and Mr.. Browning is that
the latter goes little further than the
Wisconsin Senator, and expresses his
doubts whether sit is not better for
them (he white and the negro) to con-
tinue together in the relation of master
and slave" What have our ultra Re-
publican brethren to say to this utter.
ancc OF Republican Senator!
Mr.. Browning continues:
That we can do them (he negroes)
a substantial good only by separation
of the races, l entertain no doubt. just
as long as they remain among US they
are free negroes; they are nothing else
they are poor, degraded set, and l am
afraid always will DC. | should like to
see them IL aking moral and intellectual
progress in our midst, but l do not ex
pect to see it. doubt whether there
ever has been, from the foundation o.
the Government, one solitary instance
of an individual Of the negro race being
admitted to all the privileges and immu
mites Of free nan In the United State
OF America. There are many negroe
whose Intellectual and moral worth ia
transceuds that OF the white men atoCn'
them, and yet they do not take posi-
ton IN society that Is accorded unhes
ta,ingly to the white man who is 10 n
respect their equal. 1t is because, l az
prehend, OF tie repuynance Of the race
that the Almiyhly has implanted an on

are cannot eradicate.
Whenyou come 10 propose that hiehe
and better test of a catholic and unive,
sal phlanthrophy, the admission Of th
negro to social equality aud to famil
alliance, it is a tc;t that reduces all GU
sympathies aud all our ph'anhroph,

none of us can bring ourselves up to. l
