THE GREAT desire of the Southern men,
hers of the U. S. House of Representatives
to do all they can, consistently with their
conscientious views OF the obligation Of their
oaths to observe the provisions of the Con
stitution, to help to educate the negroes OF
their section, may induce them to support
the Blair educational bill, even with the oh
fashionable features in which it passed the
Senate. But the Objectionable features re
fsrred to were affixed to it for the plain pur
pose of provoking Southern hostility, and
it is by no means improbable that that pur.
poss may be effected. The civil war has
been over for quarter of century, and
if the people of the South can not yet be
trusted to treat the negroes among them
fairly. it is doubtful if they ever will be.
