Mr. ROBBINS. I do not wish to be inter

Mr. ROBBINS. Yes, sometime?, and whip-

our years on the battle-field to meet all comer's
without regard to "race, color, or previous con
dition of servitude."

that have made her renowned ; and Massachu
setts took up the refrain sad sounded her owa
praises, too. They hsd a right to do so. But
sureJy if it is consistent with nstional sentiment
for some States to boast of their renown, it can
not be wrong for other States to defend them
selves against unjust reproaches.
It was not slavery, sir, which kept the South
back ; it was the presence there of fcmr millions
of men who came to us at first utterly nn trained
savages ; anil these we had to govern, tram, sad
improve, as bent we might. Herein it was our
mission to expend our moral and material forces,
snd it entailed upon us great burdens ; for these
men were awkward and unskillful laborers,
whereby our efforts were of necessity confined
to the coarser and more primitive kinds of bo
man industry ; and thus we suffered infinite
material loss. The North, with her skilled and
educated laborers and artisans, was at liberty to
devote herself to tbe more complex and refined
industrial pursuits, with consequently higher
proms ana more rapid growth In affluence.

The gentleman from Massachusetts Mr
Butler seemed himself to abandon the
idea of the absolute equality of meu ; for be
formulated his doctrine in these words :
That every man has the right to become
the equal of another, if he can." In some
sense that may be conceded as true. But
thai, is not what this bill proposes. It does

1 cannot speak of the facts from personal ob
servation. But from many comrades who were
thereabout at the time I have always under
stood that when Ord's column of white troops
surprised and took Fort Harrison, which was
the centre and key of our Confederate position,
whatever posts to the left of it were given up
at all were abandoned at once under orders and
without serious resistance, their isolated situa
tion rendering them untenable. A handful of
skirmishers, moved by the instinct of old figh
ters, may have given a parting shot or two as
they "were ordered away.
Four or five were usually wounded in battle
to one filled outright. If five hundred and
forty-three were killed in thai negro column,
two" thousand or twenty-five hundred others
must have been wounded ; so that is really
wonderful, that the small squad lift should

under Providence, we have thus wrought out
were directly and consciously aimed at by us
with deliberate purpose. In our dealings with

which move human nature every where ; jurt as

These things seem so obvions to me that I con

ing them for the reflection of all candid minds.
Neither ought the negro, or his aoi-disnn
friends, to indulge perpetual bitterness, as if in
all those events any wrong or any strange thing
has happened to him. We mav specnlate upon
the absolute right of every human being, under
all circumstances, to liberty and self-control

I resuect all men as men and as the children

Look at one more fact Nearly three years
before the war ended the four millions negroes
of tlie South knew that its result involved the
question of their liberty. Yet while continent
shook with the earthquake of war, and nobody
was at home but old men and boys to keep them
in order, those negroes seized no weapon and
struck no blow. I do not mention it as a re
proach to theni. It merits rather the thanks of
southern men. I mention it only to show mat
the negro is not like the white man. What
race of white men would have remained qniet
under the same circumstances ? W hen the proc
lamation of emancipation was issued the peculiar
patronsof the negro in the North expected him
to rise and throw off the yoke and butcher our
wives and children ; and in the abundance of
their nbilanthronv and humanity they hoped so,

In his own land he has always been and still is

his will, the southern master trained him to

fitted him for liberty Then in a grnnd conflict

no important part, he was freed. Afterward
white men, voluntarily, without any effort of
his, enfranchised him, made him a voter, anu
empowered him to hold office. As a freeman
and voter he has put bad men in power, mat e
suffrage a farce, destroyed public credit, ruined
States, and disgraced republican institutions j
and the return he makes is to clamor for more
power and more privileges that he may further
blight and wildew and waste our general wel;

and tbla ia not the time or place to follow

fortify it. I merely throw out the hiut, to be
pondered by those who realize the mystery and
(as Carlyle says) "the deep tragedy of human
life."
But, sir.no matter how the races originated,
they do exist and are not alike. The negro is
different from the white man. In some things
he excels the white man. He has much
music in his soul. He can outsing, outdance,
outlaugh, and ontfrolic the white man. lift u
more docile, more self-satisfied, more imitative,
more affectionate, more passionate, and perhaps
more naturally eloquent than the white man.
He ia the world's "merrv-andrew." He is the
world's star actor on the comic stage. Such are
the endownments of the negro ; and some of
them are noble qualities, aud by no means show
that the negro may not fill a useful and impor
tant place ir. the world's future civilisation.
But when you come to the grand tragic and
heroic parts in the drama of humanity, where
will, force, courage, forethought, the sense of
raasterdom, and the instinct of dominion are
required to shine, the negro fails. Despite all
that wa have heard on the subject, the negro is
no fighter. To prove that he is, we are pointed
dom while tliev enslave his soul. Ever, here on
this floor (and I mean no disrespect 10 an. -low-member

he-aayt nothing, except as he is prompted by
his managers; even here he obeys the bidding
of his new white masters, who move him like a
puppet on the chessboard.

fulfilled its mission, which was to civiltxe and

might aid, if possible, in atemaiing the tide nf
tatiaticism and mongrelism, which, if it should
continue to advance, would ultimately awecp
over our whole land and destroy every veatige
of its former beauty and glory.
Yon have heard how this bill; if passed, will
destroy our southern free schools. Not onlv i
that true; it ia true, also, that it will destroy the
white republican party in the South. If I de
sired only party advantage, and not the welfare
of the people of my country, I would wiah you

against it, and all will desert you if you pass iu
But the evils which this bill would entail on us
are too great a price to pay for any mere party
success; and 1 therefore hope if it cornea to a
