The argument necessarily assumes that if, as has been more than once the
case, and is not unlikely to be so again, the colored race should become the
dominant power in the state legislature, and should enact a law in precisely
similar terms, it would thereby relegate the white race to an inferior
position.
We imagine that the white race, at least, would not acquiesce in this
assumption. The argument also assumes that social prejudices may be
overcome by legislation, and that equal rights cannot be secured to the
negro except by an enforced commingling of the two races.
