1 p tot only admira- o bid ur) grand, but, entirely sub b 'Ioi}ni d, ' emarI a stun dk d history, has been everh bu4 tup in the world that was not cemened with blood. That, by way of expressing value and impor tanee, is a well guarded but strong expreaon, and has a forcible re iaiOt to the act of emancipation. History ianfrms as of no revolu tion that awikened so much P thought, elicited so vast and varied a interests; required the outlay of treasure so immense, Sacrifice so wonderful; and comprehended in its soope, a good, so vast, and sq important to the general welfare of mankind, as to be essential to it. The compass of that act may not be regarded as of so narrow a scope I as to embrace our own domestic affairs merely; but, as comprehend ing rather, the destinies of man kind. Taking foundations in hu man nature itself, it &nbraoes, in the truest and fullest sense, the chief good of the entire race, and involves the highest and most sa cred interests of every class of peo ple under the sun. From Wash ington to Sierra Leone, from Sierra Leone to Pekin, and from Pekin back to Washington again, there is not a clan, tribe or nation, either in the old world or the new, but whose policies, politics and desti nies have been affected by it, for the greatest possible good. At home, not only was a race liftel into manhood and citizenship but, a great Nation was regenerated and inspired with new life. The light of noonday is not a more striking contrast with midnight darkness than the present condi tion of our Country, as compared with what itwas under the dominion of the slave system. And in the light of this contrast we may look back upon slavery and learn to hate it-hate it intensely, bitterly and with an eternal hatred; hate it be causp it prostitutes society to the basestof ends; .hate it because it degrades, debauches, abuses, out rages and brutalises alike the op pressed and the nation by which it is tolerated and supported; hate it because it creates caste-aristocracy and ostracises the weak; hate it because it deeply injures you, and more deeply injures your children; hate it with a most inveterate ha tred as the God daring "sum of all villainies." The emancipation act, great in itself alone, becomes much greater in its legitimate results. Bringing the broadest equality to all citizens alike, each is identified with all the interets of a common country, hav ing bebre it a future of unequaled greatness. "Liberty regulated by ]iw," says Wendell Phillips, "is the secret of Saxon success." It is a cheering fact that the elements of the negroes character are adapted to blend with, and be conformed to . tatwe las which germinate the civil isation of the nineteerth century. Judged, by the same rules and tried by the same tests by which other raees love to determine their character, the negro race will lose nothing necessa1r to give it an equal place by the side of the saxon. "There are two ways in which races love to be judged,and there tests by which to be tised,-the great men they produce, the average merit of the mass; courage, purpose and endurane." If thesaxon character is distinguished for courage, purpose and endurance, so is the negroe'a. Do they boast of producing great men P--so may we. Have they nade history ?-So have we,-histo ry of which none need be ashamed. Have we. been alaves?--So have they--elaves, says Maceuley, for there huand&d yesars, sold with the land, and Caemr said, they were not evenfit for that. Did they obtain freedonit--So did we. But they lifted not a finger to end their slav ing-waited for civilization, chriti amity and commerce to melt away their chaIins; we fought for oms . gae the world the 'irst and only f.ct o~a race rising in its own might, casting off its chains, mouldc ing them i~to swords, winning its libr qa the battle held, and mak n the land of Tousaint L'overture g' ri.u in independence forever. 'There ih meh in the history of the negro race, ponw the North Ameri can contia*nt, certainly, to entitle it to the rst plase of respectibity for courage, purpose and endurance. It was ordained by Providenme,that, that race, regarded with contempt ai an object of idicrle-.dsspiable .gam demaeded, sheek furaish the la vf hapter of histaQgy A i g fitself from the degrada * alject chattelism into free as Iadqumiqs against the -eed oa WadmIt, the ammiq oaf Fram and the bbllying of Spin for hall a centary, while South American Re publics rise and paps away like the dew drops of early morn-such a race is certainly entitted to place by the side of the Saxon in the role of honor. Pomessing, therefore, a#. the ele ments of perpetuity, development and progress in their plenitude, that race is destined to continue so long as the sun and moon endure. Availed of all the means and ap pliances of dignified life it will-be come everywhere. a highly impor tant element of civilized society. Events succeeding events, like waves chasing waves upon the bosom of the great deep, press rapidly forward the period, not far distant, when America, boast- 1 ing of her white, will be equally d proud of her black sons. What I now have to say, Mr. President, in approaching the close e of my remarks must be uttered, and should be received with no ordinary sense of gravity and sineerity. Behind us is a past telling only of , oppression, misery, degradation, shame and sorrow-of shame to a a great nation, and of invidious ostra cism to us; before us, a future luminous with prospects of the most flattering character. Are not we the sole arbiters of our own destiny When we consider our station, our duties, obligations and responsibili ties, should we not feel equally bound to labor incessantly, ardently, unselfishly, and in love for the achievement of the grandest pos sible results with respect to our own individual development and eleva tion ? And is not this preminently our own work? We cannot look to others and neglect or slight our own interests with impunity. No nature is profusely generous to so small an extent as human nature. Intelligence only regulates and directs its intense selfishness to the certain ends of its own aggrandize ment. Nothing is more natural than that others will let us severely alone when we forget and neglect those personal interests sa highly important to our own general wel fare. To kepp pace with the progress of the present age requires the ut modl diligence in individual effort. Everywhere the public mind is wide awake and keenly alive, press ing forward to the goal of the high est individual and general good with mighty strides. Equality in I the scale of life, is the result of achievement The diligent use of a the same means and appliances r gives similar results-the school house, the church, and a quarter section of land produce equals of e people differing in all other respects. Pointed as we are to equality, why d be tardy in the diligent application of the individual to all the means of e promotion? A people's character a and elevation are measured and de , termined by the amount of indivi d dial effort. And, although we shall make mistakes and failures; meet I- with rebuffs, disappointments and discouragements, we should press onward and upward nevertheless, h remembering that the mistakes of i mankind, as much as their successes, teach lessons of equal-value. If e j"Ives of great a)n all remind u i SWe can make our liveS sublime," e it is equally true that, SThe mistakes of others constant tell as I How to shun the rocks of time. Nor must we forbear to ,ress eagerly forward, ever learning, ever becoming wiser and ever improving; keeping continually before us the S that, individual improvment contributes proportionately to the advancement of the whole race.
