u* vuutvuiwavv v/fc «uuv*«I do not disguise that I should be sorry to see the scum of a vicious Asiatic population supplanting the comparatively clean and healthful negro. I own to affection* for the black man, and so fJir from sharpening any resentment against him at this time, I think we should await the results of those recent influences which are manifestly bringing him around to a reconciliation and better understanding with the white man. The fact is, I cannot see that we want any foreign additions to the labor of the South. We have the same labor that we have always ! had; and as it is well known that the natural multiplication of the negro exceeds that of the white man, the supply must continue to be enlarged in proportion to the demand. What is needed is to reorganize and discipline this labor rather than to increase it by dangerous methods of pauper immigration; and besides this the great want of the South may be described as capital, not labor—the first to employ and direct the other, and thus bring both development and peace to the South.Am ll.
