be disob dent to their masters and
to rnnsa ray from them.
NoWSS ltave l not proved to you
that the dorGrine of the Abolition
lists w#s unwise, unjust, and alto
gether3against Americas principles
Of government and religion?
But%tno Abolitionists were unsuc-
cessful IL aDolishing slavery. 1t re-
mained for the Northerners to have
that honor and privilege. In the
third &S$r Of the Civil War. Lincoln
decided Ei hat the only way to force,
the Sau,h to submission was, to free
her siayes He accordingly issued
his EmanVipa ion Proclamation and
it tocap1" = ational policy adopted
in war-l.a@ ines. The North, who
freea tn s)r es, had no reason for
doinS 50 exc t to force the South to

aHd nov let us consider the ne
gro ot itn-1ay Has the negro i'm
proved $iacs he was given freedom?
Mo mol atically no. When the
nu.to WIS freed not one person in
tel thry jaNd regarded him as ma
tu-a1 cgUml al. To-day his criminal
record anr les the world. The abo-
lIjaa If s. very gave to the United
Htalas uot new race Of men, but a
nov rv& o criminals.
The q&g} cannot stand the equal
ily Of r3,lc ion the white race is to-
0aY IT, lag give him. If there Is
& Di1y II he world where the ne
Ero is Grated as the white mans
eGua1 4, IS Kansas; If there Is a
place 81! the world where they be-
licya "a making the negro stay in
hjs p.atC. IS South Carolina. If
elu0N nl education improves the
black nan he Kansas negro ought
to he mite an improvement on the
South a DINA variety. But we find
the Ift is just the opposite. BY
cDmpDia, ne United States prison
repor. 81 800 ! find that the South
Caroraa noero is only one-tifteenth
as criminal as the Kansas negro.
Thls ,NNys IS conclusively that etu-
caton has not improved the negro.
To-"a} .be negro has grown so
b2ij $50 jnsolent that he considers
that le is cqua. to, or the superior
o. an whitc man in the land. Who
would a%ohange the good old Nanny
Sue O., jucir Tom for these descend
ants o. ,no new set Of coIorcd ladies
ana gentlemen who have taken their
place to-day?
TT. tjatOIy Of the negro since the
aboltJ1I ot slavery and the many
ra"j1j conflicts show to our minds
that wa between the races is in
evitang sooner or later. Such a
war. Q E@oy, could not be conduct
ca d. be Avs governing civilized
wari Q, bu, would necessarily be
unoiv .i1ed warfare. Slavery was
abolished IN war conducted by
laws oyornIng civilized warfare, but
q POI 'pn al the human race will be
destr 2ad iu a war conducted by the
laws ;hYcrnlng uncivllized warfare,
this var being result OF an Incl
doNt civilized war. What the
rGsMll VI that war will be the future
alone can disclose, but common
sense tells us that the result cannot
be bcnpfCial to America.
And now in conclusion, allow me
70 hr3Hy aummarize my arguments:
