I dare say that this question. like all others. must be left to time. left to those influences that govern human action. and you will find in a short time that the condition of the colored man will be improving everywhere. Still. under the circumnstances. while I do not myself feel that there is any uecessity for the investigation. if anybody supposes there is good cause for an investigation which will develop the necessity for legislation I will not object. I do not feel like getting l) hero and saying that I will vote against investigation when it is bruited around that this emigration is caused by unjust and cruel treatment on the part of the white people. I know that that is not true. I know that it is utterly false. 1 know that if any disinterested committee will go down there they will find that the colored people are prospering. as I said. everywhere in exact proportion to the length of time they have been under democratic rule. and they are perfectly free to vote as they please. and they vote the democratic ticket as freely as I do. and for the same reasons in the main.
