At Ottowa, ha aaid, "I, at well aa Jadge Douglas, am in favor of the race, to which 1 belong, having the euperier position.' At another time, in a taeeeb delivered at Caiuuibu. ha aaed the followinc laa; guage; "i am Dot. nor ever bare been, in fa vor of bringing about In any way the so cial ami political equality oi toe and black races: I am not. and acrer hare been, ia favor of making voter or iorort of aecroet: nor qualifying them to bold foflice. or intermarry with the white people: and I will say, in addition to thia, that there it a phytieal difference between tbe white aad black races which I believe will forever forbid tbe two race living together on term of social or po litical equality. And inasmuch as the v cannot so lire, while they do remain to re liter moat be tho potition of .uperior and inferior, and I, aa much aa aay other wan, am in favor of having tbe aupcrtor posilion at signed tbe wbite race. There It no evidence that he changed theae view. They accord with tbe view, af every ho neat white man, who kaa aay correct knowledge of the two race, who bat not become a fanatic, and who ia not blinded by partixau am bition or interest. Such views, we bold, am not unfrind Ir to tke trae and beat latere of tbe colored race. Mr. Lincoln was a friend of that race. lie would not enslave ibe negro.
