Let me read briefly. Mr. Speaker. a portion of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD of this session of Congress. an extract from a speech made by an eminent gentleman in the other end of the Capitol (I refer to Senato MORGAN. of Alabama) on the question of thQ deportation of the African race from this country. He says. among other things (and. mind you. he is talking of his own constituents. of a class of people who represent nearly or quite onehalf the entire population of his State): It seems that only a few of our statesmen really desire that the negroes shall be or remain massed in certain States with a view to their taking the control Of the State governments. The opinion and will of the people of the United States may be safely stated as being firm and resolute against such a fate.
