I know the ability and eloquence with which my friend from Alabama [Mr. MIoRGmT has advanced his views about these people. and yet. with the greatest deference to him. I must be permitted to say that I have not the slightest confidence in the idea of deportation. He and I alike have lived among that race and know their habits. and I know he will agree with me in saying that they are the most credulous and emotional people in the world. the most susceptible to influences. and unfortunately. from strangers. No picture is too gaudy. no idea too extravagant totempt the tropicalfancy of this unfortunate and ignorant race. Some years ago we bad an experience in my own State (Missouri) that illustrated this to the largest extent. It will be remembered that in 1879 the negro exodus commenced from Mississippi to Indiana and Kansas. Some unscrupulous speculators went amongst the negroes in the South and seduced them with chromos representing ideal homes in Indiana and Kansas. beautiful fields. roseembowered cottages. fine cattle. splendid horses. and all manner of luxury and wealth. to be had by the simple experiment of emigration from the South. I remember the first arrival of one hundred and fifty in my own city. Kansas City.
