Speech #460045318

If the Senator says he did not intend to do it. he did not so intend. and I want him to understand as fully and as frankly from me that I have not intended any such thing in any remark I have made either in my seat or on the floor. I wish I could discuss this question without its particular application to the State of North Carolina or any other State. It is a great question. the question of emigration to this country and migration from State to State in this country. It makes more homogeneous the population of this country. makes more stable its institutions. gathers around them braces and supports from all parts of the country. and is one great hope of its perpetuity. I wish the people of the South could dwell with the people of the North and the people of the North with the people of the South. and the people of the East with the people of the West. and the people of the West with the people of the East.
