I want to say that gentlemen may howl. gentlemen may talk as much as they please. but there is one fact in natural history that I want to give you here. and that is that God Almighty never intended that the blackbird or the crow should get up to the top of the mountain eyrie where the white eagle lives and raises her brood. and whenever he gets up there and interferes in matters which do not concern him the white eagle will be sure to kill him. It is unnatural for him to be there. You may rest assured that the people of our sunny land will always act worthy of the name of white man. before whose tread the wild Indian. the cunning Asiatic. and the ferocious African alike recede. You may say what you please. but this is a white mans country and a white mans government. and the white people intend to rule it now and forever. [ Here the hammer fell.]
