The Earn.: reach of power' here claimed
n certainly grasp not only tho control
of State elections, bnt every other sub
ject of State legislation. Beware lest
imkindnoBs to tho South should prove
tho charming web in whoso meshes our
liberty shall parish. The national Legis
lature may yet prove the blind Samson*
ian strength which shall move the pillars
of her temple from thoir place and d
-troy its votaries.
G r.erai Butler h.'s raid that iira for
eign country we are bound to protect the
rights of our citizens, and we must there
fore havo tho right against the States.
In the former case tho States are prohibi
ted by the Constitution from extending
protection, this being entirely and nec
essarily delegated to tho General Govern
ment. whereas they may and ought to do
so ns between their own citizens. Again,
ho says Lo want3 this law to prohibit a
negro from being pitched out of a car in
cases where it is difficult to tell in what
State tho wrong was perpetrated. If ho
is serious in time, I imagine that when
thrown off the negro could as easily as
certain his whereabouts as lie could find
Federal court. As to any difficulty
from one State having no law, and an
other haring it, to protect their rights,
I assert that in all of them they have the
same law os the whites. Again, sir, how
is it to be expected that if juries will not
convict in State courts, they will bo more
virtuous in Federal courts ? Is the man
ner of seleeftng jurors to bo so devised os
to secure men in sympathy with these
pnnaoutiaos P
In my own State the jurors in tho Fed
eral court aro selected bo that they are
comprised of persons pre-eminently igno
rant and prejudiced against tho white
people thereof. A fair trial is despaired
of by a white man if his. controversy is
with a negro. In the namo of Christian
ity, of civilization, of liberty, and law;
by the memories of the struggles of 1770,
and tho better days of tho Republic; by
the consciousness that a common destiny
which awaits ns all, I urgo you not to
permit sectional feeling to prompt so
great a crime.
And now, Mr. Speaker, I invito atten
tion to the situation in my own city of
tho two races, in connection with tho sub
jects of present legislation, which fairly
illustrates my State.
Tho negroes havo their own inns, nnd
neither seek nor desire entertainment nt
those resorted to by tho whites. They
have tho samo cemetery with the whites,
divided between tho races, and each por
tion eared for alike. They have railroad
facilities, comfortable and satisfactory.
They havo tasteful and substantial
churches, erected largely by tlio contri
butions of generous white men, and
which ore to them a source of pride.
They resort freely to places of public
amusement, and have assigned them
comfortable seats. They have equal edu
cational facilities, both as to school-houses
and teachers, with the wliite.s ; and could
this House know how fully they are pro
vided for m this respect it would compel
lantern people.
The power to pass this law it is n3-
u to bo found in the ''first section
ilthofourteenth article of amendments
Mjho Constitution of the United States.
TMsection declares:
-All persons horn or naturalized in tho
I'nite! States, and subject to the juris-
diction thereof, are citizens of the United
Suti-onndof the State wherein they ro
ck. No State shall make or • enforce
iSfhw which snail abridge tlio p.ivi-
Ic-is or immunities of tho citizens of the
Fnited States : nor shall any State do
pin' any person of life, liberty, or prop
erly without due process of law; uor deny
fcujponou within its jurisdiction the
wnl protection of its laws.”
Thru follow the third, fourth, and last
xvtiun. which provides Congress shall
Jure power to enforce by appropriate leg-
alation tho provisions of tho article.
The rights sought to bo secured by this
Ul have always hitherto hceu regarded
is subject to State legislation. This sec
tions not divest State authority, but
,u«ui qualification to tlio exoralac thereof.
TV tmlaoel hot assume the Stales havo
notated that section or havo foiled to cu
lm) its provision i; but proceeds directly
l» divest them of all pur or. and to pro-
wil>.> penalties, nnd to confer exclusive
jirisliclion on the Federal courts. IVe
«v told that, in some oT tho States,
while the laws are ample, tlio courts and
Mny nro not disposed to execute them.
It* no! pretended tint this is true in all
the States, nnd yet nil of them under this

Often times they outnumber the whites
in tho jury-box. I do not mean to say
tlioy aro in tho jury-box in all counties,
but do say that in many counties not
ono-fourtli of tho white voters have their
names placed in it. A kindly feeling ex
ists between tho races. Labor, which
had boon demoralized by political excite
ment, is becoming profitable to laborer
and employe;, and mutual confidence and
good-will is in process of perfect restora
tion. Let our people alone, nnd liberty,
wealth and harmony will spring forth in
young nnd vigorous life, and commend
the wisdom of your conduct.
But, sir, wo nro told tho Government
owes it to tho colored people that this
bill shall pass. There are in tho South
ern States two races, as distinct in their
social feelings and prejudices as in color.
Those have a natural force beyond the
control of human law. The sooner they
aio recognized by our rulero the better
ferboth races and tho country. Force
the negro into ths common schools whero
the white children go, and the whites
will withdraw. The common schools
will bo abandoned, and tho only liopo for
tho moral and intollociual elevation of
tho negro will sink below the honzon
forever. Force them into public inns,
and tho proprietor must submit to your
prosecutions or abandon liis calling, for
the whites will not remain in such asso
ciation. Fifblie inconvenionco follows,
but nothing for tho public good. Com
mon carriers will be more or less affected

The thriving town of "Workington was
honored the other day with a visit by
a ye r,g man from Whitehaven, in charge
■ •f a pony and cart, the latter contain
ing a quantity of apples, which he offered
for sale. During his wanderings through
Lie town he fell in with a laborer and his
wife, nnd after some conversation the la
borer offered to sell his ‘'missus" to the
apple dealer for two shillings. The offer
was accepted, and as tho woman made no
objection to the arrangement a bargain
was struck, the money wa - paid, nnd'tlm

deplorable consequences, socially, politi
cally. materially, cannot bo overstated.
This Government cannot law well these
foundations for social equality. air.
Speaker, tho sovereignty of the States
may bo overthrown, the pride of the peo
ple may bo mocked, their property may
bo swept away, cruel imprisonment may
afflict them, tho power of the Govern
ment may bo turned in fearful vengeance
uron them; but there is a law of tho
Croator that for a time may ceaso to op-
but can never become. obsolete,
[Uestion. ,
— | l assert, sir, mat there is a disposition
on the part of the whites to give the no-
no State gro cnua i r i gb ts. Whatever inequality
of public accommodations there may he
is «iuiply the result of an indisposition to
social intercourse. But this even is not
to he found in their laws or their courts.
Sir, the whites naturally view this as
an attempt at ultimate amalgamation.
This necessarily involves their degrada
tion. A mean alliance always liegets a
progeny below tho level of tho better
parent. If this is not true, why, when
e pial facilities for mental improvement
aro accorded to each race, demand they
shall bo placed side by sido in the same
school-room ? Tho pride of the Southern
whites deserves admiration rather than
execration. . ,
Were the people not to be affected l>y
tliis legislation seriously in the same sit
uation with ns, I know full well this bill
would not pass. Surely they are led by.
abstractions rather than a practical com-
prehension of the real wants of the South,
in the name of tho Constitution of ^ our
common country; in behalf of tho time-
honored power of the States to regulate
the civil rights of its citizens; from an
earnest desire to preserve the present
-rood feeling between the two races, and
to avoid the antagonism and industrial
detriment that is about to bo called into
life, I earnestly urge this House not to
pass this measure. It contains evil, and
evil onlv. It tells tho .white peoplo of
the South the war shall last forever.
“While you have given to the Govern
ment great men and means whereby our
liberties were established, you, their de
scendants, shall drink the dregs of hu
miliation forever!” Onr people know
this Government is to he theirs, and offer
true allegiance to it Only a feir days
ago a distinguished leader of tho domi
nant party in this House, in discussing
the hill making additional appropriations
for the Navy, said ho was confident there
was not a man on this floor who vras not
prepared to vote every dollar necessary
to the vindication of the nation.il honor.
It was true not only of this House, but of
all sections of this country. ^ ■ ? s.uie

olate man began to examine the situa
tion, and arrived at the determination to
have his wifebackagain. With this view
ho set out in search of tho apple-dealing
pair, and having found them explained
to tho “young man from Whitehaven”
that he liad repented of his bargain, and
that it was his intention to take the part
ner of his joys and sorrows to his heart
and home again. The apple-dealer" inti
mated that before anything of the kind
could bo done tho purchase-money would
have to bo refunded. To comply with
this demand was impossible, as far ns
tho distracted husband nas concerned,
for lie had swallowed thejiriee of his wife.
A bitter wrangle ensued; the husband
wanted his wife; the npple-dcalcr was
firmly resolved to have either the woman
or his money; tho lady—alar, for lier sex,
