gumcnt ever heard. 1t Is to pay tn
highest compliment to the institution 0
slavery"
Then he goes on with his objections +
clothing these people with the rights q
citizenship and suffrage. Says he:
"Thc right to vote carries with it tn
right to hold Office. You can not 81,
that the negro has natural right t.
vote, but that he must vote only 70
white men for Office"
Then, after demonstrating that point
he makes this concusion
If you eniranchisc all the negroes il
these states you will have at least twcnt,
negro votes TO one white vote, and in tht
work Of rcConstruCling the states 0
North Carolina, Alabama and Floridl
you will have larger proportion--pcr
haps thirty colored votes to one white
Now, ask you, what is to be the effect
of that? The first effect will be, you
will have colored state governments
After going into Il long argument tC
prove this fact he reaches this concIu
sion:
"Thcy will have colored governors and
colored members Of congress and sena.
tors and judges of the supreme court,
etc, Very well; and suppose they do
send COlOred senators and representatives

find men in the north who will be willing
to sit beside them, and will not think
themselves degraded by so doing.

In every state where there is cOlorcd
state government, ancgrO iorgOvernorand
Il negro for supreme judge, white cmigra-
tion will cease, there will be no more white
emigration to any such state. You can
not find the Imost ardent anti-slayery
man in Wayne county who will 90 and
locate in a state that has coIored state
government"
Now, sir, why ascribe to the conduct
of the people of the south this exclusion
of emigration when here is predicted
beforehand the result OF the state Of
things which have occurred? Here Is his
conclusion:
81 submit, then, however clearly and
strongly we may admit the natural right
of the ncgro--l submit it to the inteIIi-
gcncc oithe people that coOrcd state gov
crnmcnts are not desirable; that they
will bring about results that are not to
be hoped for; that finally they would
threaten to bring about, and | believe
would result in, Il war of races.

He would put them under probation

by which time they will be in perma-
