man. He spoke of the exclusion of colored
men in the Northern states from all politi-
cal offices, and said that on the contrary
there was no discrimination in the laws of
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana or
Georgia against man on account
of race, color, previous con-
dition of servitude, and a number
of colored people in these states were hold
ing offices to-day, and one colored man
was representing congressional district OF
Nor h Carolina, so that he would say To
the senator from Ohio who had re-
marked with such a patronizing atti-
tude that the South should do
so and so that ifthe Northern States would
do right by the colored people good deal
of friction would disappear. This very
day and this very hour, and for the last
week, the newspapers had been teeming
with accounts of white men in the Terri
tory of Oklahoma, and Republicans
among them announcing to the world
that if the colored people dared to
assert their right 10 control the Territory
by reason of their superiority of members
they would drive them out at the point of
the bayonet He had seen within the last
month an account of outrages upon
colored people in Ohio and Indiana,
by white, mobs, and yet he had
not heard one syllable of protest.
He believed that the great body of the peo-
pie OF the North were kindly disposed to-
ward the people of the South, and that
kindness had been very much stimulated
by the fact that millions of money were
being sent into the South for Investment
from Ohio that whenever he at
tempted to carry out his threat
of another crusade upon the South through
supervisors and United States marshals
for the purpose of dominating there, he
would have fire in the eye from men who
had carried their money and their indus
tries into the South.
