It is true that afterward they went ito the back counties. and I trust today are peaceable and prosperous citizens. but I mention this to show that the people of Califbrnia are not alone in their belidf that this. is under God a country of Caucasians. a country of white men. a country to be governed by white men. As the Senator from Nevada said. rising above party. your experiment in the Southern States of putting the negro above the white man is a miserable failure. and it stands today a monument to the fact that the intellect of the Caucasian race. bayoneted to the earth..plunged into blood up to the chin. will yet rise to the full height of the destiny which God has placed before it. The brains. the energy. the intellect. the sinews and nerves of the race to which we belong will never be trampled under foot by Mongolian. or African. or mixed or Indian blood. Nothing except its own blood. coming with superior force and equalbrain. will ever be able for a single instant to make it lower its lofty crest. Sir.
