people. (Applatse.) The Civil
Rights bill is the most unfortunate |
law that could ever be enacted for
your race. See to il that none Of
your race abuses its privileges. II
is unfortunate for you, because il |
forces every man who loves his fami-
Nv and his blood to sever his politi-
cal connection with you. l have
defended your people in their rights |
from every stump in my native coun-
ty, and / have stood up in the courts
oif our State and defended men Of
your race without fee or reward OF
any kind; and one Of the most pleas
ant victories Of my lifewas when ! der
Tended and acquitted Q man Of your
color, who was my playmate in our
boyhood. l have Kind feelings for
your race, for gratitude calls for
them. You have been fro in the
winter and shade in the summer for
the white people Of this coultry, and
all the better impulses Of their ma
ture call upon them to defend you in
your proper sphere and Station; but
we can never receive you on teEnaa

ations have implanted in Us the prin-
ciple that it is, not right, proper or Just
that the Anglo Saxon and African
races should mingle9 together on
terms Of SOCIAL equality. tlApplaussD

nv constituents, / declare that, this
measure being forced upon us, 1 will
forever dissolve my connbction with
the Republican party, (applause) and
1ially myself with the great. party that
is 4 now building up in the South and
