THE FINAL CONCLUSION

Then again, be it remembered.
that in three hours discussion of
this bill. which conferred chiefly
around the Indians. none of the
speeches pointed to a single contri-
button to the welfare of the
State that the Indians jcould lay
claim to. And yet they were given
unstinted praise, and the Negro was
villified, and numerically SO.
The following lines very aptly ex-
press my feelings at this time:
II done sot down the udder day
To see il I could figger
The why and wharfore of the way
Tho; white folks treats the niger

The little and the bigger
To see If they could tell ma why
The white folks hates the niger.
II done found out there amt no use
To sit down here and fgger
The white folks don't know why

They hates the DO old Niger.

INSULTING REFERENCES.

In the discussion heard my race
referred, to as Negro, and then again
by the same speaker as niger. I
heard them praise the Indian, and
speak in derogatory manner OF
the Negro. One white man, whom
/ think is merchant. said that he
did not believe there was any Negro
blood in the Virginia Indians be-
cause the Indians hated, the Negro
worse than they did the devil.
