Europe and Africa are already here, and
tho Indian was here before them.
In speaking Of the Indian, the speaker
made u touching appeal for the amaiora-
tion Of his condition, repudiating tho pol
icy Of keeping the red men separate from
the rest Of our population, as it made war
against rs and among themselves.
The treatment of negroes had brought
the Republic to the verge Of ruin, and
now, before the difficulty is fairly settled !,
a new question comes up, requiring inge-
nuity and humanity to settle, in that Of
the migration Of Chinese to our shores.

is bread enough in America. The same

from Europe and the Rritish Isles will
bring them from China and Japan. Among

The speaker here diverged a little from
his remarks on the Chinese, to show that
such treatment as they were receiving in
the Pacific States had been administered
