..Thc reason why they should not yotc, IL sim
ply this: III the Southern states, tllcye arc ma:s
ii colorcd population. among which ninetent!,s
OF tho men hare no sense of family and family
and the man who would hnild tho foundation Of
human eociety mon population like that knows
no:hlns Of ntnisa ss to
icsque Of Republican Institutions, and ne our.
Fclvts wonld bc the laughing sock Of the world"
Mr.. Doolittle, in this response to a very !
pertinent enquiry, strikes his white allies Of
the South much scvercr blow than he does |
the blacks. The Constitution has been In |
operation nearly eighty years. During all
that time, wc are daily assured that the !
ministers Of religion in the Southern States
have abjurel politics and coniluca their
rrcachings TO the Gospel, pure and undc-
Sled. These negroes, numbering nearly ONE
third OF the whole population, and in many
localities exceeding the whites, have llad the
example Of their white mistrcsses and mas
tcts before them, and have never been
permitted 10 BE- contaminated with any Of
the deuioralizing istls Of the North. How is
it, that ut the end Of eighty years Of peace
ard prosperity, nf unlimited freedom to ell
Southern teachers OF religion and morality, |
it happens that there arc four millions OF
human beings to whom n sense Of virtue is !
