I will neither approve nor oppose it. Nevertheless my opinion is that this is an evil. if it be an evil. which will settle itself as a great many other evils axe settled by time and the good sense of the people. One thing is very certain: the colored man is no longer a ward. he is of age. he does not need a guardian. he must take care of himself. and there is not a man in the whole South that I know of who will not cheerfully admit that the colored man has a nerfect right to go where he pleases and settle where he pleases. and follow just such pursuit as he pleases. and nobfldy that I know of interposes the slightest obstacle in all the Southern States to his free migration or emigration and immigration anywhere. I know it is customary and has become a common political vocabulary for politicians to talk about the cruel and unj ust treatment of the colored people by the southern whites. There is not a particle .of foundation for it. and there never was any foundation for it.
