Mr. Vance proceeded to address the

the emigration of the colored people from

the scriptural saying that sins of the Ia
thcrs shall be visited on the children. II

that the mistakes aud crimes of one gen
Grafton would remain to plague another
generation. He sketchcd the introduc-
tion OF slavery into this country, its de-
struction as the result of civil war, and
the establishment of the reconstructed
governments in the South.
But" said he. "'lo, the negro again
bobs up screncly,' daughter, and for his
sake to-day we are threatened not only
with political agitation disastrous in il.
self but with scrvilc war. whose weapons
shall be the midnight torch and the as
sassin's dagger, and whose victims shall

Mr. Vance went on To criticise Ingalls,

usticc las the senator from Kansas had
explained il was that the South should
quietly and without effort submit to ne
gro rule, wherever the negroes were in
the majority. The senator hadgracious-
~ promised that il the remedy still
proved a failure he would counsel
with the South. What blessed and
comforting words. lie regretted that he
could not support the bill Of the senator
from South Carolina. II did not reach
the case. was impracticablc, and would
result in no substantial relief. Under its
provisions few negroes would go from
this country. and those few would prob
ably be the best. lie could not say that

moval of a whole people. amounting To
