But for the present we are sufferers.

The old employments by which we have heretofore gained our livelihood, are gradually, and it may be inevitably, passing into other hands.

Every hour sees us elbowed out of some employment to make room perhaps for some newly-arrived emigrants, whose hunger and color are thought to give them a title to especial favor.

White men are becoming house-servants, cooks, and stewards, common laborers, and flunkeys to our gentry, and, for aught I see, they adjust themselves to their stations with all becoming obsequiousness.
This fact proves that if we cannot rise to the whites, the whites can fall to us.

Now, sir, look once more.
