Why think you should there be danger in
their coming? Do you believe that Il
our system Of government worked as It
should work, there would be equal reaso n
to dread it? If you do, you and are
at variance in opinion. Their ignorance
of our language, and our social customs,
their having been reared in slavery, and
an atmosphere Of religious intolerance ;
bred to drudging, Injured to unceasine
hardship, until they have become content
to dispose of their labor for bare subsis-
tence, would be very great, but not iusur-
mountable obstacles to their becoming good
citizens, and in every way valuable add
tons to our population. But we cannot
afford to run the risk Of such a connect.
ton as would inevitably result from their
advent here IN any number, because the
division of our earnings between ourselves
and our employers is already made by law
and custom SO grossly unjust, that to per.
NIT any more to be taken off would be 3
step too near starvation even for our small
modicum Of prudence.
