the negro must emgrate, if freed that be
can never live peaceably on an equality with
the white man.

Do you propose to let them go from the South,
redeemed and Iegenerated as you say, into
your free States OF the North' Oh, no. you
contemplate no such condition as that for
them. You exclude them, as you would leper,

"Mr BINGHAM. Allow me to remind the

mir. MALLORY l know the gentleman
from Ohio does not intend that this exodus from
the South shall find its way into the State Of
Ohio, as the lsraeIites did tron Egypt into Pal

"Mr BINGHAM. have no doubt ot that;

According to MIR. Bingham the negroes
got into Ohio as soon as the Democrats went
out OF power, and he will keep the door
open BY keeping Democrats out OF power,
and he wall never give vote that would ex-
clude the African from overruunlng Ohio,
