Tho nogro ;ielement is and must lo much larger. lt;in your State than in Maine or Massachusetts. Its increase from abroad 11 should bo discouraged rather than in*; | vited. Tho history of tho South i American Republics, of Mexico and tho Empire of Brazil, holds out an impressive warning of the abject degradation which never fails to overtake tho white raco tolerating aiual-1 gamation with the negro.
