Mr. HUBBARD, of WestVirginia. Mr. Speaker, without institutingany inquiry or comparison between the black and white races, I wish simply to indicate my reasons for the vote which I expect to give on the bill now pending. I believe that alIhistory will sustain the positionthat only a homogeneous people can make a united nation. I further believe that the effort to introduce into the sovereignty of this country a race which cannot in the nature of things become homogeneous which fact every instinct of our humanity and the whole legislation of the country attests an only be productive of contention and conflict a conflict which must ultimately result in the domination of one or the other of these races, and the ultimate destruction of the weaker race and this rule I would a ply not only to the It fell to I negro, but to the Indian, the Chinaman and if there be any people of our own race of whom it could not fairly be redicated that in a few generations they would become homogeneous, or, in other words, Americanized, I would, if I had the power, deny to that people the right of suffrage. On the other hand, I would by the fullest legislation secure not only to the negro, but to every inhabitant of this country, o whatever race or lineage, all the protection that the law gives to my wife or mine r son, and I would do this not only in" the DistCol, but in every State of the Union. I would in the present circumstances of our country go further, and, departing somewhat from the rule laid down, I would as a special recognition of his services to the Commonwealth in its hour of trial, extend the right of suffrage to every man of whatever race who has in the war for the Union faithfully served in and been honorably discharged from the naval or military service of the U.S. But in no case would I extend this right so far as to give to the excluded race the control of the government in any communit, and thus provoke the conflict I seek to avoid. With this brief statement I indicate my intention of voting against the bill under consideration, and also against the amendment of the Gentfrom NewYork. perAsnlicl
