COLQUITT AGAINST THE ELECTIONS BILL. ‘The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the elections bill, the floor being taken by Mr. Colquitt. ‘After referring to the material prosperity and advancement during the past century, Mr. Colquitt drew a bright pictare of the future, when the nation would be limited only by the boundaries of North America and when it would contain 2 popalation of 600,000,000. But this picture had a darker side. Wi the country develop into another buge China? Under the iron tread of corporate power or gigantic wealth’ would we drift back into a archical regime with but a semblance of freedom? Onr dangers were all internal. ‘The country was threatened with ‘the powerful in- fluence of extended plutocracy. While ail the people of the United States apoke the sme nguage, the race question which was pre- sented was full of more intricacies than the same question presented in Europe. He made an earnest appeal FOR THE ABOLITION OF RECTIONALISM. Unite the-seetiomm on all matters of the | country’s interest and remit to the people and the states all power not delegated to the gov- ernment by the constitution. “The northerner and the southerner liked each other individu- Why not as a people? Drawing a com- parison between the growth of the west and of ‘the south, he said that the latter lagged in the race, but still it had a future. He made no ap- for mercy; but was it fair, he asked, for |* > powerful west and the wealthy north tc Tange themselves side by side in a crusuds against the weakest and least populous par. of the country? AS TO THE RACE QUESTION. The difference between the races was not one of recent origin. It was the result of thousands of years of dissimilar conditions. The differ- ence: appeared most obvious in th» skin but it was more than «kin deep. He had a profound sympathy for the colored people. He had helped them with the earnest desire to see them progress and rise to every distinction they were capable of.
