tie said that he looked upon the educa-
tion of the colored people as the solution
of the race question, but the white peo
pie constituted the great mass OF the
nation, and on their condition depended
the fu.ure Of IN. United States, and on

ture of the world. The Senate then

have upon the new States, and also upon
the Southern States. In the latter it

administration of local affairs than TO
intrust it to ignorant men.
