Talk about bringing more in here. Mr. Speaker. this is one of the wisest provisions that has been placed In this immigration bill. and the people from the State where the distinguished gentleman comes fromn may not know the evils as do the people of the State of Mississippi. who have had to contend with the black man as a slave. who have had to contend with him under the carpetbag. scallawag government which obtained after 1865. when the black man rode in high place. with a few of these carpetbag buzzards who held office in the State of Mississippi putting the black man in power. to run roughshod over the true civilization of this Republic. If my friend had those conditions in Illinois. he certainly would not want any more negroes Imported into the United States. For Heavens sake. men. if you understood what an evil the preponderance of black population is in any State or community. you certainly would not oppose this bar to any more African blood coming into this Republic.
