m0ng the powers oil the earth. Hayti and
Liberia furnish further matter for your in
formation to iatten upon, and you at once
proceed to establish diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and these benighted
and half made parodies upon human govern
men.. Atan annual expense Of thousands Of
dollars you propose to receive negro djplo-
mats from them and send United States min
listers to them; indeed, are you the champi
ons Of negro equality, without regard 10 cost,
place, propriety, or dignitye
This Congress has been in session nearly
eight months, and all that have reviewed
you have done, and more you would do ii
you could for the negro. What have you
accomplished for the white mans Have
you provided for the payment Of pensions to
the soldiers who have been disabled while
I fighting the battles Of your country? Have
you appropriated money to relieve the wants
and necessities Of the widows and orphans Of
white men who have perished upon the bat
tIe.6 fields defending the Constitution and the
flag of the countrys All, no; your time has
been too much engrossed with the negro TO
think Of these things. You have not appro-
priated one dollar for these purpOses-pur-
poses which should enlist the ability and the
sympathy of every patriot in the land.
II this statement is incorrect If this Re-
publican party or its administration have
ever made single effort in behalf Of the
MANNED soldiers, single appropriation for
the support of the orphans and widows Of
slain soldiers, hope some gentleman near
the other side OF the Horse will correct me.
There is noresponse, and am treasured in
the correctness Of my assertion by your ST.
lence. The alleyiation of the sufferings Of
white men, or the protection of their rights,
is not in your line Of philanthropy. Like
your illustrious porOtype, Mrs. Jellaby. Of
the Bori- bo-la- ga mission, or the Rev. Amini-
dab Sleek, in the play Of the Serious Family,
to the political branch Of which you aboli-
tionists will soon belong, your sympathies are
never active in behalf Of practical and genu-
inc beneyolence.
The evils Of the attempted equalization Of

/ But finally the idea Of the equaliZing OF the
races became popular the attempt was made,
the races were commingled, and thencetor-
ward The deterioration OF the people was ra-
mid and fearful. This holds true not only in
Mexico and throughout Central and Southern
| America, but in all sections OF the globe
wherever the white race has commlngled
with the black or the Indian. This system
az equalization has failed to elevate the infe-
Irior, but has always degraded the superior
race.
"In dealing with the negro. sir, we must
remember that we are dealing with a being
possessing the form and strength Of man,
but the intellect only Of child. To turn
him loose in the manhood Of his physical
strength, in the maturity Of his physical pas
sions. but in the infancy of his uninstrucIed
reason, would be to raise up creature re-
sembIing the splendid fiction Of recent ro-
nance, the hero Of which constructs human
form, with all the corpCroal capabilities ol
man, and with the thews and slRsws 81
