Description

Text in two columns; Morse's reply expresses the view that the corner-stone of the U.S. government is the inequality of the white and black races. He quotes from Lincoln's Address on colonization to a deputation of Negroes, Aug. 14, 1862. The Emancipation proclamation is seen as a threat to that cornerstone.
