I think we have shown by the vote on this side of the Chamber that we have no such motive. If. as the Senator insinuated in the outset. this movement is with a view to colonization in any State for a political purpose. the vote given unanimously on this side of the Chamber shows that the republicans of the Senate do not propose to encourage the effort to carry any State by.such colonization. If anybody is responsible for such emigration to the Northern Stttes it is the democrats of the South. whose conduct compels the negroes to leave their homes. and the democracy of the North. who refuse even to inquire as to the practicability of supplying some other place for the victims of persecution and oppression by their party friends.
