eeli' uo HoI OSIIeVe lncse TWO races can
live happily and pleasantly together, or
enjoy equal rights without one domineer-
ing over the other, and therefore adyo-

Mr. Johnson. thank the Senator for
the admission he has made, and wish to
press the mattera little further. think
we shall get together directly | think we
are travelling in converting lines, and we
are travelling pretty much TO the same
conclusion. Suppose the four million
slaves in the slave States were all emanci-
pated, and were to Fl ! up one of our Ter
rltories and apply for admission here, it
seems TO me the Senator's answer would
q apply TO them az well "a to tho question

remarks, he has admitted that tet out
to prove, which was opposed TO the whole
tendency of his argument and the Goc-
trine he laid down few days since, and
what, it seems 10 me, according to my
understanding, the honorable Senator
has been denying, lie admits to-day, in
his explanation, that the Creator himself
has made difference between the white
and the black race.

the Deity himself, according to the Sena-
tors own admission, has made differ
ence between the races, how can they
have been created with precisely the
same equal rights and privileges The
difference tegan with the Deity. The
Senator, in his last explanation. has con.
ceded the whole ground; and all this
olamor and claplTap about liberty, and
the construction which should be put on
the Declaration Of Independence Is clear
and uuObscuref.

party, which puts slavery and polygamy
together as twin relics of barbailsm."
