President. Peter the Hermit had to make a good many speeches before he could start the crusades. I came in here in my modest way. simply suggested a committee of inquiry as to whether we could not settle our sectional disputes by the volntary" emigration of a portion of the colored race from the South by organuing a territory to which they could go. I argued that question. and presented the reasons whyl thought sectionalism would be eliminated from politics thereby. and. lo and behold. almost the entire African population at the South. at if moved by an irresistible impulse. began to talk about migrating to escape evils which they never thought of until I deluded them by that wonderful speech. So says the Senator from North Carolina.
