Oliver P. Morton made in 1865. in which. referring to negroes. among other things. he said: At the end of ten. fifteen. or twenty years let them come into the enjoyment of their political rights. By that time these Southern States will have been so completely filled up by Immigration from the North and from Europe that the negroes will be in apermanent minority. Why? Because the negroes have no Immigrationnothing but the natural increasewhile we have immigration from all the world andnatural increase besides. Thus.bypostooning thething only until such time as the negroes are qualified to enjoy volitical rights. the dangers I have been considering would have fully passed away. their influence would no longer be dangerous in the mannerI have indicated. and a conflict of races would not be more likely to happen there than it now Is in Massachusetts. In Massachusetts the negroes have exercised political rights for twentyfive years. and yet there has been no disturbance there. no conflict of races.
