If the negroes are we'll calculated to inhiot

finds it impossible to understand ana cor.

that the greatest OF all drawbacks to the

know that as a quarter of a century OF

the malignant feelings of the northern
South haters, such bills as those referred to
are not likely to increase a mslignity that
