niiversaries kept by the colored
ieople of this eountrty.
e hae av now the 22ttl of Seli
tenIlmer, which marks tihe date of
Mr. Lin.ol,,'s warninu. proclama
titton to the riteels uf the South,m.
marks the date when turning frome
the conservative l osition whielh he'
tehi at tlhe' iegiltniig f hiii. adhlmiit
istration, whenit he' was willing to(
maintain slavery if therebl the
Union might bwe maintained., he de
claredl that he would atlsolntely and
forever free the slaves of those who
remained in rebellion after the 1st
day' of January, I~it3.
We have now the 1st day eof
January, when we who sat in the
darkness of slavery saw a greati
light, when the chains fell from
the limbs of millions, and we who
had been eondsmen and, outcasts
in our native land, we raised to the
grand dignity of free citizens of the
Great Replllin
We have that anlspiions day in
April, when the proclamation of
President G(inrat announced that
two-thirds of the States had ratified
the Fifteenth Antnmehnent, and that
not only were we free mni, mnade
so by the proclamation of Lincoln
and guaranteled by the Thirteenth
Amenndment;. not only citizens of
the United 8tates, made so by the
Fourteenth Amendment, Ibut that
now we were eido)wed with the
high privilege of making our
opinions nlpn pitliie affhirs effie
tive by casting our votes into the
ballot box in common with the rest
of onr fellow-.it izens.
The transition is bewildering.
What Ipeople ever went with such
P',1d fromi the anction Iblock tt
the ballot hu' ? What grand tri
hbates to the excellence of repnbli
can institutions are the moderation
and prudene of the freed People
on tile one hand and the errdial
acceptance of the situation by -the
mass of the white pe9te of the
hand on the otlher.
Finally, we have now the Fourth
of Jnly, which is the" true anniver
apry of hnmanity. The germs of
the West Indian emaneipation, of
the proclamations of ' Lincoln, of
the Thirteenth, Fhnrteenth and
Fifteenth Ametlhnents, are all con
tained in the grand old Dleclaratign,
which asserts that "uiil men are
created equal, with' certaiu inalien
able rights, among which- are life,
liberty, and the purnisit of brei
nees" Those words, bravely
spotii and manfully maintained
as they were by the fathers of the
Revolutionary era, were the signal
to the people of all nations, all
kindreds and all tongues to arise
frota the abyss of slavery into
which they were plunged, and take,
their stand on the broad platform
I of equal and impartial liberty.
I look forward to the day when,
ceasing to convene in these meet
ings, which represent a partial tri
umph of the great principles of
liberty and justice, we will unite
with the mass of our fellows in
celebrating the ever glorious
Fourth of July.
Yet the let of August was for a
long time a date of vast signifi
cance to us. It was the anniver
sary of the only event in the longi
reach of the centuries which bore 1
any token of hope to us as a peo
Ipl. Slavery was and had been the
doom of all the children of Africa,
nunt i that glorious day, in 1834,
whenI' England set free the eight
huniredl thousand bondmen of her
colonies. It was to us the wished
for .ign of a brighter future. It
wa,, the morning star, heralding
the rise of the sun of our liberty.
W\ hat a long night it. was. Howi
despairingly we prayed, how bitter
ly wue wept. The power of our
eine,,lies seemed invincible. Free-'
o,lmn seemed to lose everything,
slavery to gain everything. We
had the annexation of Texas. that
the area of slavery might be ex
tended; we had the Mexican war,
and the failure to enact the Wilmot
.Proviso; we had the Fugitive Slave
Act: we had the repeal of the Mi- i
souri Compromise; we had the
K:ansas murders, and, finally, the
sla~.holder's relbellion. Here the
tild was stayed. Slavey went down
i:, a sea of blood, and we stand
here to-day free men and free wo
mnlil. Those who sympathized
Nith its when we sat in sackcloth
and ashes, who bore our shame
with us, are to-day filling the high
plachl's of the nation, while their'
opponents wander in exile, or creep
at home seeking to hide their shame
in dirhonorable graves.
DI'TIIES IEVOVI.ViNO ON I'S UNDER THEI
W'R NEl, cIRtOUMiTAN(-IN'9.
But, fellow-citizens, we have with ,
our new condition assumed new
duties duties which mean more
than any mere rejoicings can mean.
The friends of the Union and liberty
ha\e clothed us with the right of
voting, that we may assist them in
bearing up safely the ark of Ameri
can liberty. We have the duty of
sustaining by our votes the men and
measures which gave us our free
dom, the principles which, impar
tially applied, will not only main
tain us and our children as freemen,
but will extend the blessings of re
publican liberty over the earth.
To us comes with double force the
admonition: "Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty."
Alreadiy the enemy is at work,
pointing out the shortcomings of
the Republican party, which are
many, and seeking to render nsdise
contented with it and its principles.
No man can abhor more than I
do that clannish spirit which drives
all, or nearly all, the men of a race.
to vof for the same political party.
In approaching the ballot-box, then,
if never before or after, a man should
exercise the right of private judg
ment. The responsibility rests with
the individual, not with the party.
If a man sustains a party the prin
ciples and practices of which are
contrary to the great laws of justice
and right, he is guilty, in his in
divdnal capacity, of the wrong mlone
even though millions join him.
I hope the day is far distant when
the mere name of a party shall con
trol the colored voters of this conn
try irrespectie of the principles
which it represents. But in this
case there can be no caneme for besi
tation. The Republican party is
the political embodiment of
the heart and eoasesfecs of the
American people. Through its in
strumentality we stad to-day bee
ad enfranchised. It has taken s
in its great arms sad redresead ear
wrongs. Thrmugh its stalwart
stroke slavery mad the rebellion m
dead, sad the 3pblio stand dorth
euinaelda wadprised cthe stins
which 1.d m d L a h 6 and a
been of latdt erut of
white men. Everyag e ndment or
law which deflaes or guarantees the
rights of black men, equally defines
and guarantees the rights of white
men.
The country torn by the ravages
of a four years wa r, during which)
billions of wealth were wasted, mil
lions of men taken from the active
pursuits.of peaceful life, and tens of
thousands slain, finds, under the
wise administration of this party, I
all this waste being rapidly repair
ed, the public debt and the burden,
of taxes diminishing together, and.I
peace prevailing throughout ,our
borders.
STATE JOSuVEREFiNTY.
Just what they mean by States'
Rights it is hard to find out by their
declarations, but their deeds make
all plain enough. When they im-I
prisoned citizens of sister States, i
entitled under the Constitution to
the rights and immunities of the
citizens of all the States, and. drove
away with violence and insults the
agent sent to test in a peaceful man
ner, in the Federal Courts, the le
gality of that imprisonment, that
was States' Rights. When they,
by order ,,f a Democratic postmas
ter, violated the privacy of the
mails, that was States' Rights.
When they abused and sometimes i
murdered peaceful travelers, who
chanced to have about their per
sons copies of papers obnoxious to
the community in which they were
sojourning, that was States' Rights.
When refusing to submit to a Presi
dent called to the high votes office
by the votes of a majority of his fel
low-citizens, they rushed into that
wild rebellion whi h covered our
land with the graves of the bravest
and best sons, that mals States'
Rights.
States' Rights mean the power to
deprive citizens of tshe United States
of their liberty, the power to deny
them the right of testifying in courts
of justice, the power to deny them
the right of educating their chil
dren, the power to deny their right
to travel frolm State to State, the
power to prevent the opening of
railway connections between distant
commercial cities, all this it means
and more that is baleful.
Our Democratic platform admits
the binding force of the recent
amendments, but demands their
strict construction. Like EthanI
Spike, they are in favor of the
amendments, but opposed to their
enforcement.
Imagine a colored man approach
ing the ballot-box in some district
Where this Democratic idea of con
struction prevails. He.is met by a
committee of Democratic fellow
citizens, who assure him that in ac
cordance with the recent amend
ments they recognize his right to
freedom; they admit his citizenship;
they are willing he shall vote, but
here comes in the strict construe
tion--if to-night you find your
dwelling surrounded by a masked i
and armed band of assassins, if
your wife is beaten senseless before
fonr eyes, if the torch is applied to
your house and you taken off and
hangedl, there will be no punish
ment for this outrage and arson and
murder, for no colored person can
testify against a-white man, nor do
these amendments demand that
they shall. We give you all theyj
grant, but yon take what is granted
at your own risk. We are strict
constructionists.
FRE sPEECH ASD A SREE PRC5B
If the Democracy favor a ftlee:
press, they have been recently con
verted to the doctrine. I meet con
tinually is the streets of Cincinnati
the man who, assisted by his bro
ther, dragged James D. Birney's
press from his office at the coram
of ~eventh and Main streets. This
man is an active Democrat, and
would alanmdon his party instimntly
if he thought it favored free speeh
and a free press.
In the South at this momentI
thomsads of Democrats are joined
in Ku-Klux bundt to put down free
ym*m, ompelled to work meset-I
ty, they stir week. The semge,
the torh, te pihkl, the hangman's'

and in wist rugioas d our country
a eom plte reign o t ,r rrrrpnvai
Thns ,. Bad that the afinIa
nmnernL ,nd if wa m s we aw fll
stick by the Republican party till
Jeff Datis accepts the situation and
the most black or white voter in the
land can approach the ballot-box
without fear.
THE NEW DEMOCPTIC DFPAP.TUP.E.
Supposing the gentlemen who
composed the convention of the
Democratic party in June last to be
in earnest, the que3tion arires na
tnrally, can they carry their party
with them ? Can the party whose
chief inspiration is derived from
-abuse of the negro, be held togeth
er if that cause of irspiration is re
ipoved? Imagine a Democratic
meeting where nothing can be said
about thick lips, wooly heads and
ebo skins. Where the Democratic
mind can not be harrowed by pie
tures of beautiful white virgins
forced into the armsi of loving
Othellos. I don't think the thing
can be done, Imagine anything
strange and unnatural that you
choose, lint a l)imnocratic party
which upholds the Thirteenth
Amendment, which forever prohib
its slavery and involuntary ser
vitude, except for crime, the Four
teenth Amendment which would
make a citizen of l)red Scott. if he
were alive, and the Fifteenth
Amendmejnt which brings black
men to the ballot-blox, these c:npot
be imagined. The leopard will
change his spots sooner. The
leaders may resolve it, but they
can't bring the rank and file t' nlace
the music, they will blake whet. the
word is given to fall in. Nature in
that case will be stronger than
grace.
Mr. Blair speaks truly the Demo
cratic sentiment when lie says:
"None of the reconstrnetion mea
sures, so-called, would have been
adopted if they had beet submitted
to the people. They have been
forced ip w.u''inatli hy filand. The
constitutioinsl ,tendmuents have
been adopted by coercion in the I
South, and in defiance of the known
will of the people in the North: Per
fidious representatives of the people
have betrayed their trust, and fixed
a yoke upon their necks."
The conclusion from this is evi -
dent. If the reconstruction measures I
have been adopted by "force and I
fraud," then the Democrats, if they
-re honest, when they get into i
power will repudiate the whole i
affair, and put us back to where we I
were when Buchanan left the Presi
dential chair.
(iYENERAI. GRitN t 4LDMINITSTIt ll'\.
In this andience, composed , I
largely of colored men, I need not
waste time in speakingtf the merits
of General Grant's administration I
His cheerful recognition of our citi- i
'zenship, and his quiet determina- I
to enforce the. reconstruction acts i
of Congress, have won for him such i
a place in our hearts that I have I
not yet seen the colored man who I
is not a rant man. He has ad
hered to the declaration that he.
would have no pokey to enforce in
opposition to the will of the people. i
He has secured as much honesty in I
the.administration of public affairs i
as is possible in a country where 1
the system prevails of turning aI
man out of office as soon as hea
fnlly nnderstands holw to perform
its duties. The mountain of pub- I
lie debt is being paid at an aston- i
ishing rate, and yet the burden of
taxation is being reduced year by 1
year.
It was hehl that he departedl
from his pledge of having no poli- I
cy to enforce when he endeavored
to have the treaty for the annexa
tion of San Domingo ratified. In
making that pledge he did not agree
tohave no ideas of his own, bnt
tiat'he would not enforce them in
opposition to the will of the people.
His manly words used in submit
ting the report of the San Domingo
Commissioners, show that he does
not mean to fly from his pledge;
"And now my task is finislhed, and
with it ends all personal solicita
tios uipon the sabject." •
"My daty being done, yours be
gimm aud I gla8dly hand ove the
whole matter to the judgment of
the American people mad their re
prementatives in Congres assmembled
thes ft will nowe spread before
thes wtry ad a dmeion rendme d
** o er, mmd 'mgain whoas
Ir halva lho polijbw edurce."
The most amusing thing in this
whole San Domingogainess is the
spasm into which Denocracy fall
whenever it is mention"d. They
who invented and are the especipl
champions of the doctrine of mani-
fest destiny in our country toiu
corporate all of North America and
its adjacent islands within her I
ihunds; they who recruited, armed
ana drilled men. here in the State
of Ohio, and marched them through
the streets of C'incinnatti, on their
wt1 to seize Texas, a State of Miex
ico, which conutry was then at
peace with us; they who brought
Texas into the "Union, and with it
a war; they who intrigued during
Pierce's administration for the
seizure of this same San Domingo;
they who eucouraged Crittenden,
and Lopez and Walker in their ef
forts to seize C'ub, and Central
America, they of all Imen should
hold their peace when the subject
of San Domingo is discussesld.
SHUI.L C('l.oREL ME:N DEMAND OFFICFS?
Notwithstanding this grand re
cord,, there are to Ie found men
who ask: "What has the Republi
can party done for colored men ?"
Memwbers of the Democratic party
are greatly exorcised at the fact
that in the North few or none of
the colored people havebeen elected
to office, and that even in the South
they have received bdt insignificant
official recognition.
Now, I am free to declare, that
in my opinion a consistent adher
ence to Republican principles de
ands that colored men shall he
elevated to office by the party. I
think a Ntrthenr constituency
would honor itself by sending a
colored man to Congress. I be
lieve the day is not far distant when
this will be done. In many places it
can be dlone without peril to the
ascenldency ot the party, ant( where
And wh.en this can be done we
should hase candidates for office,
but I am opposed to colored men
making a demand for such action.
I want one more triumph of the
party and its principles in a Presi
dential election; I want one more
Congress elected pledged to main
tain the results of the war. I want
the Democratic party to under-i
stand that there is no shadow of
turning in the purpose of the Amer
eian people to bury slavery and re
bellion out of sight forever.
Then when we are fairly out of
the woods will be time enough to
press our.claims for office.
HAS THE TIME COME FOR DISBANBING
THE BEPI'BIJCAN PARTX ?
Many are now found who assert
that the time has come for break
ing up the grand party organiza
tion which has won hsuch great tri
umphs in the past twelve years. It
is asserted that the old questions
have been settled, that new ones
have arizen, and that new organi
zations are needed to meet them.
We cannot, of course, expect to
maintain a living party upon dead
isones; but before we disband it will
be well enough to make sure that
the issues are dead, to make sure
tlhat the enemy has abandoned the
battle-fild and finally and full yield
edI the points in dispute."
The Republican party has fought
to maintain the Union, the suprem
aey of the national Constitution and
of the laws made in plrsnuance
thereof.
Has the D)enCrjtec party yielded
that point ? JeffeiIls Davis, who
represents more democratic votes
than any man in the nation, says
they have not. In his speech at
Atlanta, he declares: "I am not one
of those who accept the sitdation.
These cant phrases that we hear so
much of about "accepting the aitu
ation,' ag about our rights having
been sanubmitted to the 'arbitration
of the asword,' are but the excnuse
of cowards. I admit that power
is so great that it would he folly to
remist it, and thefefore, I uam in fa
vor myself of being aequnen&st and
advise you to the mte comars; but
I do not admit that o ar t
hav ever been umitd tot. at
bitramast of the med.i" When
