Of higher ronts, prices, ETC., from tho poor, to-
viii. tho nogroos. Therefore, since tho negrooa
support tho schools, they ought to be able to
ontor thoin.
These views Of an ab1o colored man deHorvo
attention. They proaont tho negro WOW Of tho
question thoroughly. It iB significant tliat wo
have to aay "tho negro viow." Tile baro dts-
ousslon Of tho bill has begun tho work Of organ
i2ing parties founded Oh raco. Wo proceed to re-
Wow Mr. Downing'a arguments In tho ordor In
Which ho has stated thom. ~ The "foolng
Of tho moBt ignorant colorod man " is no roason
whatovor for passing law. An. emotion Is
rarely, II over, good ground for Legislation.
Much lcas Is It so whon 1t is folt by an oxcood-
ingy ignorant rorRon. Such reasoning would
justify slavery or bitsor religious persecution.
Many ignorant poraous havo vory strong foelinga
In favor Of both theBo things. Tho question In this
caao, from an emotional point Of Wow, ia whether
NO ought for tho eake Of gratifying tho feelings
Of q minority, to Outrage tho foolIngs Of q uaa-
5ortty, and 30 parpotuate tho race-proiudices
which mako our colored follow-oitizona fool
badly. (2) It is tilno that tho negro outgrow
his dependence upon tho Government. There ls
no possible breach Of fnith in voting down this
bill. Tho nation has givon him freedom and
equality boforc tho law, and the Btases hare
provided him with precisely tile same opportuni-
tiea for education TINT aro oGorod tho white.
