THURSDAY. June 70.
Seuaie.- Messrs Hiscock and Eyarts
were on the floor of the senate
representing the state of New York,
and the same was true of Connecti-
cut. which had been democratic
for years. When the republicans of the
north had taken the beam out
of their own eyes and fixed laws
so the peoples wish might be hon
estly expressed, when they practiced
as they preached southern democrats
would receive them with open arms.
Under this system which it is proposed
to revive, the people of the south, had
been robbed some years ago 10y picked
villains of the north, backed by the United
States army The south did not want to be
put in that position again. I'VE, Mr.
Hemphil continued, know we must eth
err rule that country or leave i. Now for
myself, before the people of the Dnitei
states and before God in all reverence,
swear we will not leave it. (Applause).
do not hesitate to say the colored man has
as many rights as have;
but he cannot have his rights
and mine too, and this law is intended to
put him again in control of the southern
states: intended to awaken that race
prejudice which is fast dying out; intended
to bring about again that constant irrI-
tation and clash between the two colors in
the south which will retard its growth and
be destructive of the very principles Of
human government
