hold this land in trust for our roce anJ
Kindred" Our fellow -countrymen would
not save us from African domination
and the white people of the State have
saved themselves, because they hold

Senator Teller, of Colorado, a Stalwart
hepublican, goes quite as far as the
South Carolina Democrats. In the de-
bate on the Chinese bill lie said: IL say
The Caucasian race is superior in mental
force, intellectual vigor and morals to
any other branch Of the human family.

of this kind is as good rs l can read. |
believe, il the history of this people, that
no man has ever been connected with its
government who has ever had greater
love for the human race than Abraham
Lincoln. say further that no man in
this country ever discussed the question
of the rights OF he human race with as
much intelligence as Abraham Lincoln
did, and yet he declared over and over
again in that memorable debate between
Stephen A. Douglas and himself in 1858,
which attracted the attention of the
whole world, that the negro was in inie-
rior race to the white man. He repeated
it again and again, and notably at Co
lumbus in 1859. that the negro wns and
must ever remain the inferior of the
white race. He (Lincoln) said: will
say then that am not nor ever have
been in favor Of bringing about in any
way the social and political equality of
the black and white race; that am not
or ever have been in favor of making
voters or jurors Of negroes, nor OF quail.
flying them to hold Office or intermarry
with the white people, and will say in
addition to this that there is q physical
difference between the white and black
races which I believe 1ciN Jorercr forbid
the t,ro races iring together on terms OF
social and political equality. And inas-
much rs they cannot so live, while they
do remain together there must be the
position of superior and inferior, and |,
as much as any other man, an in Jaror Of
haring the superior position assigned to
the white race. President Lincoln ls
surely good authority on this subject,
and had 10 lived the plan of perpetua-
ting the Republican party by making
Republican voting machines of the ne.
groes would never have been heard of.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, goes
quite rs far. In the debate Oh the Chi
nese bill, he said: "If you 60 off into the
broad modern civilization that free
trnders and free.thinkefs and free love
and free. everybodies maintain, of couise
YOU must say that all mankind are of
one kin, that they are all of one nature,
that they are all of one destiny, that they
are all Of one sympathy, and that they

irruption of million of the inhabitants
of the continent of Africa to-day or to-

people of Massachusetts have any hos
