with coored people, and had great difficulty in restrain
ing that feeling.
Mr. HARLAN, (rep) of Iowa, thought the prejudice
not among the laborng men, and could be controlled
by such distinguished men as the Senators from Mary

Mr.. KENNEDY said Of the worst riots In Baltimore
for many years from the employ OF free negroes
in the ship yard.
Mr. HARLAN said it appeared to be tho doctrine Of tho
Senator from Maryland that the people would rise and
massacre the whole coored population He could not
believe the people of Maryland so low. that were
the case, they were worse than the Chippewas and
Sioux, II they would murder those brought up with
them, though not taught in the same churches.
Mr.. KENNEDY said they had slaves IN Maryland VINO
were taught and had churches He had himself manu-

Mr.. HARLAN asked if the Senator had any disposition
to murder him?
Mr.. KENNEDY said No; not more than white men Of
the Senator's section seemed willing to murder the peo
pie Of Maryland.
Mr.. HARLAN thought that the people Of MARYLAND and
Delaware had such disposition TO mur der as mad oeen

took place in any nation OF the world All the great en-
prcs of antiquity composed Of people OF different
races and no such ever took place except among
savages He did not think these happy and contented
roun upon thor masters simply because they were paid
wages.
Mr.. SAuIsBuRY said the Senator, it seemed, made .
speech at venture. Delaware had larger free negro
population in proportion than any State and he know
there greater than the free negro p0pula
