.ssely be assumed that the same enaea.
ments are sufficient to give like psosec.;ea
to those foe whom this bill provides. r.
eides. the policy Of the Govcrnm~n, always
has been that persons who are strangers
to and unfamiliar with our institutions,
should pass through certain probation.
This bill, in effect, discriminates against
a large number of int, lIigent and worthy
foreigners, andin favor of negroes. to whom
after long years OF bondage the avenues Of
light and intelligence have just been sud-
denly opened, BY proposing to make them
citizens at once. The first section also
contains an enumeration Of rights to be
enjoyed: to make and enforce contracts,
sue and BE- sued, give evidence in courts,
purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey
real estate and personal property. and 10
have full and equal benefits Of all laws the
same as white citizens. and to be subject
to the same punishments, pains aud PEN
alties in connection with white citizens
and no voters. This perfect equality Of
white aud colored races is attempted to be
fixed by federal laws in every State, 90
that over the vas, field Of State Jurisdiction
covered By these enumerated rights. in
none Of them can any State exercise any
power of discrimination between the differ.
ent races. In the exercise of government
over matters exclusively affecting thu PEG.
pie Of each State, it has frequently been
thought expedient t. discriminate between
the races by the ststutes Of some States
which have laws enacted, for instance that
no white persen shall marry a negro or
mulatto. Chancellor says, speaking Of tho
blacks. " Marriage. brtween blacks and
the whites is forbidden in some states
where slavery does not exist and prohib-
tied in all thu slaveholding states BY law,
and where not absolutely contrary to law,
they are revolving. and regarded ~ offensc
against public decency." l don't say this
bill re2eals State laws ON this subject. fox
a. the whites are forbidden TO intermarry
with the blacks, the blacks can only make
such contracts % the whites themselves
are allowed to make; therefore they can.
not, under this bill. enter into marrisgs
contract with whites. / cite this diserim-
