That the .mneriean people may 't be eredited with ran imp, rtf:nt agency t in promoting this pla'4e of modern n civiliztion, carn harlv bie deied,,' and it is eoonsoling to believe. in , thie age of rapii travel and lapid t diffusion of intelligence, no nation can be said to live exclusively for, itself. There is no halting an idea f at a national hInndars. The fact s of the cnmplete abolitircu of slaverv a it, the United States, and the kind-, V red fact, that thle Llhck man is here p legally, ii not practicllk, liite I frotn t the legal c-4,nditi',n oi f mer, beast:, of hurdesn, to the- dignity rights, e and reelxnsihilities of complete if American citizenship have, maade;i our Republic one of the most bene- o fieent moral forces of our times. 1c While slavery lasted among ns poi-, sbning all our national thought,,' and feelings, we had neither the power nor the ldispobstion to assist 1i the cause of himnlan freedom any- v where, certainly not when the black d race happened to be the victims of t bondage. In fact, we did not only a what we coulh to keep our own 6 bla\,,s in honda,;,, while the system r plsted, but our full share toward'n prolonging tlhe Iondlage of slawve h in other lands. The forte of our S e-xample kept the sile alomnination p in ctinitenantet. It Was urlnpossible p to shame elev-ma.sters into a sinse (1 - olf the horrible crime anywhere b while ii sas legalizcl, C'hrietiartied t< and made respectable, in the great ! t Aimerican Republi'. . rmore tinm enviable position for a nation to oe- w eI cnpy than ours sas before lhwerT fi was abolished it is not'easy to con- I c ccive, and evrar American citizen n ought to fool joyful and glad over b: the change. From being the gloomy t bulwark of slavery and the accarsed oI African .'lave-trale|', we have he come, by the silent force f our ex- h ample, the pioners of freedom and eI emancipaLtor of :natio,. We have hi shown the world another Rexample a that it is safe to do right and that ! justice is a itwtt rule of life than fear. Among the first objections to t ever' righteous innovation is a fear of conseqnluenes. Here it was econ- h tended that. the negro would not p, work-the negro would imot learn to f. rad--the negro would cut his mas- ei te' throat, and do a thousand t, other dradful things if emancipated T --hut no sunch things have come to hi tus, nor are they likely to come. If hi our example is marred in this re- m spect, it is not in evil consequesces n to enslavers so much as to the new- . ly-freed people. and the semued have bean, are but as nothing whe ompmd to the th agoni~ a of their old ondition ladr gji 'demy The saddest thing abouat , annaple of freedom is, that i t_ _ ofa over-masteri, p9~ui-, .-,. II ather tha from .* 4w e at choic~ or prfemn. Yet even this view of our emaneipation is not ab olutely just. The mlitary neisesi sit, ronld not have se i but for the nral neeemity shih presided it. Thb oonsa see of the astio had been educated by the anti-diy ery movement. The h4 been no rA Ionflie., no war, no pases, so re construction, no emndpation but for tlis. When the altmatise of a destroyed slavery or a diisem bered Union was preseted, it was this old anti-slavery edatEs !which enabled the nation to say, Down with slavery, and live the Re public. The old Amariean Anti-Sla very Society prepared the way for the liberty party, the liberty party for the free soil pay, the free soil iparty for the Republican party, and the Republican party elected Aaua aiA, Lx,,ci., when came the war and its train of consequences great I andl small. The oak was in the acorn, and needed only time, soil, anfl tbhe Rinds and rains of heaven to bring it forth. a; The present exaltation of this re-i public among the nations of the earth has cost the American people - dearly in life and treasure; but when Sit is remembered that the sacrifice 'i has placed ta in the front ranks of I Sthe c i'lizing forces of mankind,' that it has made us the emancipator of nati(.ns, and the hope ofenslaved humanity throughout the world, we i may w,.ll hb conoledaby the rich - ompo el ~ntion. SAfrican slavery is now confined to', lithe luatin race, and to Catholic! count ies. It lingers longest amongi thlle Iople that originated the sys-e i tcin. Spain first gave the curse to f our co,.,ntinent, and clings to it with i nil the f:natical energy of an ancient r 1 superstition and in open defiance of I the ehlightened spirit of the age. n 1 But at last, there are signs of pro Sgress, even at Madrid. The hope Sfuil thing is that there is an anti-A t'slavery party in Spain, who speak and wmime againet.alavery. Wlbep we takc the history of West Indian h enancipation and our own anti slavery strnggle into view, it is easy t,, pre-,Iht. how this agitation will ,'end in Spain. But the most hope ful andi important movement affet ing the progress of the black raee on this continent is that which pro eeds trom the Emperor of Brazil. j Thi- benevolent and marvellously enlightmned ruler.has long, (as we i have been informed by those who i1 have been in a position to know his " views and feelings on the subject) do tesel slavery as well as the slaves ltrade. He has shown this in various ways. At last like the Emperor lt AI.FXxrR of Russia be leads the i way to general emancipation by a nmea.qiurt emancipating all slaves c hold ,by the Brazilian Government. 01 Sectnling this noble spirit on the i part of their humane and wise Em- ro peror, it seems that the Ministry, (Cmncil of State, and the Legis lature of Brazil are moving for the itotal abolition of slavery throughout i the Brazilian Empire. ti The triumph of freedomin Brazil, - Swill give liberty to net leem than fiour millions of oifthr race in that l country, a mighty hotetofblack free men. The nineteenth century at its i beginning saw all the black race one this continent slaves. At the end of this century, every vestige of ne- a giro slavery on this continent will l have dis-appeared forever. The ao- f6 curnled slave trade and all its in-,n human accompaniments will dis- Im appear with slavery, the like of the a hi slave trade. t, W e are all the more hopel of a the progress of our race in Brasii, . h because there, strange to say,alavry I Shas been unaecompmied by that at prejudice of rac and color which a 'froms a'peurt so important in thei tr cup of bitternes commnded to p the lipp of the negro in this oouatry. There the negro is a sle, bntLs his slavery is the only fact hboatbci him which i~pratee him frem ether a men.

We are elan slpa1ed bdrd, but we are not yet quite i0e. We are a hooed rae, Y and the enrt'is to keep us so. It Swill hardly be believed aoutaie f the United States, that colored har Sbers in Walington city, are even Y afraid ao ashamed to shave one of their own race. They are cowed, Sand servilk, only a little removed from slaves, and are the relrotant J r instruments of their own degrada- a Lion. This feature of the black nitra- i ° tion of the rnited Ste*, is among Sthe most sad and discouraging, for i it pro&laims that as a race, we have t fallen to a depth of degradation E more profound and hopeless, than i any other people among us. We are a the only people that ,have fallen e so low, as to feel ourselves d@ graded, by waiting upon each t other. We have been so acns- a tamed to rsognize the superiority r of the white race, that some of ne r think that there is positive honor in a shaving that race and blacking their a boots, and dishonor in alike service t to a colored man. Of course, all this cannot be rightfully attributed h to any innate inferiority of the to American negro. It comes from ta Sthe surrounding atmosphere of pre- d i judice, and we imbide it with the n rest. Some of us resist the indluence o with considerable case, but the great to mass ofaour people are cowed aid depresmed by it. oa n the emancipated Brazilian noe growe look for the ehot pecimear of the race. The world waits for va higher examples of the abilities and si possibilitien of the typically woolly- b hn;red and darker skinned races,r before it makes up its verdiCt con cerning that variety of the humanl family. They have had a states- ol man and a warrior in TUaS.InrI L'Omvan.rvri hot he stands afar off and alone. We waat living exam pleS--men of our own times. From what we have heard of the negro in Brazil, when once free, he may be looked to as the coming N man. For this great brother of the 2 colored race we watch and wait as A Srvzxo did for the MIenras. Meanwhile let every man do what in him lies to hasten emancipation in Cuba and in Brazil, as means of delivering not merely the millions of who sweat and groan in the house a of bondage bpt the best thing that lit can he done for L whole race of lit men who on all aides of the journey lit Sof life meet with resiatenewand dis- th couragement to which other races L of man are strangers. ac With the following wise and ve timely suggestionsof theConmmittee em of the British and Foreign Anti- lt Slavery Society, on the same sub- w ject we entirely unite: . th SLAVERv 13 sabZL.

'- The result of our experience and n observation is so well set forth in if one of the resolutions of the great 1, International Conference, held in d Paris in 1867, and we venture to t extract it, to enclose copies, and to - solicit your gravest eon.ideration. It is as follows: R "It is proved that half-measures r do no good: that systems of appren a ticeship, of liberating children, of a gradual emancipation, have imper. a illed propertl, the domestic circle, a and public order; have loosened i every tie without breaking or re - p/lacing them; haa excited impa i tience, uneasiness, and suspicion, 1 - and that immediate, defiuitive, and radical emancipation has every i where proved theonly moeana of re f adjusting and securing all interest r and at the same time satisfying jns tice and reconciling the races. I It is a great satisfaction to us to I learn that your Emperor is about t to visit this coumtiy. As an enemy to slavery, and the friend of free dom and justice, His Majesty will receive the hearty and cordial wel come of the people of (Grent Bri tain t In conclusion, we would express our mrest desire that in dealing with the subject of slavery the sa ered rights of humanity may pre- r vail over all inferior considerations and that you may so act as that the f blessing of the Mlost High may rest upon you and uporn the great people of Brazil.
