1t is calamity that the black popula-
ton outnumbers the white in any State.
1t the ratio was in Tennessee, for in
stance-two whites to one black-there
would be no trouble. The negroes could
then have the peaceable enjoyment of
every right, without endangering ma
terial interests by their natural stupidi-
ty and lack of information. But where
they are in the majority there is trouble
on top of trouble. If they rule, every
material interest suffers; and if they do
not rnle, the constitutional amendments
are violated.
