Jefferson said with respect to the Negro: "Nothing is more certainly written in tho Book of Fate than that these people are to be free. nor Is it less certain that the two races. equally free. cannot live in the same government. Nature. habit. opinion have drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation and deportation peaceably and in such slow degree as that the evil will wear off insensibly. and their place be. part passu. filled up by free white laborers." The scheme underlying the repatriation bill is that the transfer of the American Negro to his fatherland shall be a gradual process. so as not to disturb economic conditions in this country. and so that it can be done peaceably. There is not one line or word of compulsion in the scheme. It Is all voluntary. * * S * S Mr.
