What I wish to say is that of all the curses that have beset the southern people in the Southern States since the war. I believe that agitations like that now goingon in the Senate Chamber are the greatest. I believe the South would be happy. would be filled up with capital .and imnsigration but for the fact that capital and immigration have been frightened away by slanders like those that are proclaimed not only from this point but from a thousand other points against the southern people. Notwithstanding these misrepresentations and slanders. in many of the Southern States immense amounts of capital are there profitably invested. I know many northern citizens who have gone into my own State. and many of them are aumng the best there. They are hopeful. they are prosperous. they encourage others to go there. I wish this agftation would cease. that the vast volume of immigration that goes to the West would go South. and the day is not distant when it will do so. But I must say that I trust the Senate will vote down til resolution. and frown on everybody who engages in agitation.
