"Mr. President The race to which we

rapacious, the most exclusive and indomi-

the uncomfortable race, through which

All other races have been its enemies and
its victims. This is not the time. nor Is 1t
the occasion to consider the profoundly IN
teresting question of the unity Of the races.
1t is sufficient to say that either by instinct
or design, the Caucasian race at every step
of its progress from barbarism to enllght-

to assllnilate with the two other great hui

visor OF the census for the second Dis
triA Of Mississippi, places this impor-
tapt work in the hand OF a reputable

will be made faithfully and free from
partisan bias. Mr.. Chandler is a

ty, elected him 10 the Legislature dur
