Riassunto

Excerpt from Springfield and Concord

Delivered by a Southern Statesman, which has only quite recently been published in England,1 and which contains an admirable summary of the situation, as it now stands in America, between the two races.

And the scathing indictment he directs against the attempts now being made in several states to exclude the freedman from representation by that which is in reality a fraudulent administration of the law (p. Is very notable indeed. The powers that fight against inquiry are as strong now as they ever were when Las Casas first devoted the life of a hero to the amelioration of the lot of the Indian races. How.
