The leading feature Of this address
was in the difficulties and dangers
70 both races which President John
son believed would follow the ex-
pertinent of immediate aud universal
suffrage, including the emancipated
blacks of the Southern States.
From the hatred created, on both
sides. between the poor whites and
the blacks of the South, under the
institution of slavery, he pauses to
inquire whether these two races
now, without preparation, without
time for passion and excitement to
be appcascd, and without time for
the slightest mprovement-whether
the one should be turned loose upon
the other and be thrown together
at the ballot box, with this enm:ty
and hate existing between them"
lie fears that the result would be n
war between the races, aud the de-
struction of the weaker; and this is
the danger witch he would avoid.
He would avoid it by first preparing
the two races for the new order of

shall prove the two races cannot

and regulations, he would advocate
the colonization Of the blacks in
