I Heel grateful (e yon for year Very' com plimentary expressions, as to my past and present position politically, and I indulge in the hope that those with whom' I have heretoiore,been associated politically will generally award to me the same degree of sincerity. Having been what might very properly be termed an ardent Republican, from the time, of the organization of that party up to the -time, thats I conceived to be itsde- . part ore from the principles upon which it was tounded, in assuming my present posi- tion I feel truly raortifl id that numbers oi my former political friends refuse to ac- ' knowledge the sincerity of my convictions as to what I deem necessary to perpetuate cur free institutions. , . , .. Until I assumed my present position, I could not realize the tendency of many of my political associates to intolerance, and I, iiave. deemed It but justice to myself and my friends to avail myself of this oppor tunity of expressing briefly my reasons for opposing the men and measures of the Ke i publican party. , Yon are ai ware, gentlemen, that I was a resident of this locality at the time of the formation Ot this county, and by the kind ness and partiality of the people have been -permitted to act in an official capacity the greater portion of my lite. During all this time I tried to divest my self of partisan prejudices and adopt that HSeof policy tvhtcu "deemed bestcalcu . dated tof secure-happiness and prosperity tor the people; and moreover endeavored Ao be, close cbsecyer of the practical work- ; ingsofoiirGovernmenWaad whilst acting ' as a zealous partizan of the , Whig and Kepublican parties always endeavored : to accord the same etneereity to my friends ' and neighbors that I claimed for myself. j And now having arrived at the period in I my life where personal aspirations are at : in end, J jeleem it no assumption in ma to ' issert, that all the ambition I now have Is , to transmit to posterity the Government of : our Fathers Trnlike,formthat it jvas be- ; towed Vpoausv--1 A -- -. I cannot accede to the politicians of the j present day superior wisdom to those who forjned jqui Government, and .administered U so siilxessiully. ' On the contrary: the in-i noyaUoas,pf pur modern statesmen ja my aiaMma. humble opinion have had a tendency to disorganize our system, and threatens it witti total annihilation, and I desire to per petuate our original form of Government, and with this object solely in view severed my association with the Kepublican party. Congress has Undoubtedly assumed un warranted powers, and has demonstrated that it is as incapable of governing itself ana tne country as tne reoeis are or gov erning the South. -. I cannot comprehend how we are to have a free and .independent government, when the ppople of States are denied the right of- sen-government ana are piaeed tempora rily in charge ot the military for the pur pose pi transferring the government qt ifin'BC uwiwo ciuiauanujr w bins uibuao. ::The idesof maintaining a banking syB' tm that is perfectly useless to the Govern' tnent and the people, and Inures only to the benefit of the stockholders of those In stitutions, acapuouc expense or twenty minions peri r; ana aiaume 100 wuen taxation is pBSftively oppressive, is so in compatible with the principles of our Gov eVhiuent, that I feel it to be the dnty ol every citizen to see that this canker upon the treasury is removed at once. I have looked in vain for an answer tend- inar to show the impracticability of suuplv ing greenbacks, to the full extent of the de mand for currency, thereby absorbing the interest bearing bonds, which, if not dis posed of by some means different from the present policy, must inevitably .bankrup the country, t ' " ' - - rc Intimately connected with this subject is the question ot expenditures by the Gov ernment. ., ,j , , . i Military districts have been constructed in open violation of the organic law, and the rights of the people- have been made dependent upon the will of military com manders who are naturally repulsive to the people ot their districts. . These com manders are sustained-bv princely salaries. Invested with a large political contingent fund, and are Indulging in all the excesses of Lords and Emperors, and thereby, ren dering themselves despots in the most hateful sense of the term. It is true the people ot the' South are conquered, but if they can be educated tamely to bear with such conduct on the part or tne omciais ot tne government ana be converted to such a political iaith, we. as their kindred, will De compelled to ac knowledge the imbecility of our race and our Inability to maintain self-government. The frauds-and peculations upon the Treasury are unprecedented in the history of nations. But time .will not permit me to refer to facts and figures in detail. It is sufficient to assert that it is an incontro vertible truth that these things are increas ing instead of -diminishing, and the past demonstrates that there can be no reform effected except by a change of officials. .y fjhave referred briefly to these Important facts as indicative oi my reasons tor my present course. But there are two other matters I deem of still more importance. Ona is the ten dency to deny the right to a fair and im partial trial for crima by jury. . . It is true that this threatened evil is yet in its infancy, but precedents by the high est authority have been established and so long as these precedents, remain the danger Jr .imminent tnat- upon one pretext and another they will be followed until milita ry commissions will become powerlul in struments of political retaliation. There can be no excuse for the violation ot the legal rights of citizens. " If our form of government Is Inadequate to furnish a remedy for every wrong, the gooner we acknowledge' it; and adopt a form that will provide adequate remedies tne better. . It Is' apparent to me that it is the solemn flutyof every good citizen to aid in erasing these precedents, and wresting the power of the Government from the hands of those who refuse to be circumscribed in their of ficial action by the laws of the country. The other question is that ot Negro Sul- A political heresy, devoid of single plausible argument lor its detence. A measure foisted upon the party by fanatical leaders as a stepping stone to power.

I have so denied it . repeatedly, arid at times, too, - when my good nature forsook me. - The only difference between me and my former associates now is, I still repel the' Imputation and they' dd'hot.'"' . There is no question so portentions of evil as this question ot gunrago. xne uov ernment is founded upon it, and the denial of .this right' to-the white -people of the soutn ana tne onierring oi it upon tne blacks (if successful) roust inevitably lead to ' the saddest1 results." In -view or these grave questions, and ignoring all past po litical prejndicss, I am to-day. a hearty coi laborer with the old . Democratic party. I have no ambition to see that party triumph as a, party.. I have no. desire to see any members of that party elevated to ' power for the reason that they are Democrats. But I desire only the safety of my country and the peace, happiness and prosperity of the people,, and I look to that organization as the only possible bope in this- crisis of our affairs.- However ranch : I 'may itill differ with it upon past issues, l am heartir lp-with it in its attempts to restore the Government to democratic? and equitable principles; v -.-" ... Judulging in the bope that I may yet be 8 pa red beyond the three-score years and ten with which I have already been blessed, to witness the success of the great reforms needed to preserve the government under which I have lived as one of its most favor ed subjects, and with the assurance that I will always lend my remaining influence and energy to any party that has for its aim the objects above enumerated, and fur thermore indulging in an abiding faith that the God of our Fathers will bless us and aid us in these our efforts to secure our country's welfare, ' I remain, "' ' ' ', Very respectfully yours, ' ".?

What a change these thirty-threejrears have prod uced. :When I spoke to your fathers we were by far the freest people in the world now, absolute despotism pre vails over one-third of the Republic. Then, the Constitution of our country was regard ed an only less sacred than Holy Writ now, outside of the Democratic party, there is pope so poor as do it reverence.- Then, the great principles ot American liberty were universally cherished now, they are openly scorrea ac ana troaaen under loot.

Then wS had a currency of goldtmd silver or their equivalent now, we have rags and only rags.

He who treats the words Con stitutionalist and traitor as synonymous, as meaning tne same tntng, is nimseir a traitor or a fool. Understand me, my friends. I do not say that any Constitution can, of itself, secure the people from op pression. ; We have ample proof of this In the history of the last six years. There have never been Constitutions that guar anteed the rights ot man more plainly than do ours, end there have never been Consti tutions more - shamefully violated. Our Federal Constitution provides that the Con gress shall be composed of Senators and Representatives from all the States: and yet ten States arc deprived of any representa tion and two others are partially deprived. It provides that no bill shall: become a Iaw without the President's approval, unless passed by two-thirds of each branch of the Congress; and yet, by disfranchising twelve States, a fragmentary and unconsti tutional body, self-styled a Congress, nulli fies the veto and enacts whatever it sees fit to call by the -name' of laws.i It provides for a Supreme Court of the last resort, and yet the willof a Brigadier General is made paramount to its solemn and most thorough ly considered decisions. It declares that the right of trial by jury shall be inviolate. and yet men and woman too have been sent to the scaffold and to death, by sentence of Military (jommlssions; and that, too, when the civil courts were open and peace everywhere-prevailed. It declares that no per son-shall be deprived of life,- liberty or property, without due process ot law ; and yet, without process of any kind, without even the sentence ofa Military Commission "Organized to convict,'? thousands of Amer ican citizens, females 'as well as males, have been plundered and Imprisoned, and some of tbem -slain- by the Government or its agents; and this, too, where the courts were in the, unobstructed exercise ot their functions. ,, ' It forbids the making of any law prohib iting the free exercise of religion ; and yet preachers nave oeen suencea ana even im prisoned for teaching Christ's sermon on the Mount. ... ... .1 It guarantees freedom of speech and of tne press; ana yet Dantsnraent, or impris onment, or both, have followed the exer cise of this right; while-press after press has been silenced by the orders of Govern ment or the Instigated violence of mobs. . . Indeed, it is but truth to assert that there is scarcely a provision of the Constitution, that has not, -within the last six years, been shamelessly and needlessly trampled under foot, and that is not, at this day, yet more shamelessly and more -needlessly violated. - In face of these facts, it is apparent that no constitution can, ,01 , itseit, protect tne people. ' ; - To produce that effect, it must have the constant ailection and support of the mass es; and jiist in the proportion that this af fection and support are necessary to its effiVacy, just' in the same proportion is the merit of obeying and teaching obedience to its commands, and the crime ot violating its provisions ana weakening its noid upon the popular mind.-- ' " And here, my friends, we find a broad and Radical parties. The Democratic party is and ever has been a Constitution loving party ; anu so was ine yia vv Dig party un til the mass 0 it became -disorganized by the poison of Abolitionism, and it became changed from a great National and Union preserving party into a great sectional and Union destroying organization. But the Radical party, or at least its leaders, have no respect for anything but their own un governed will, and their own insatiate lust for power and plunder. From the day that that miserable faction, whose oracles had for twenty odd years, denounced the Con stitution as "a covenant with death"and "a league "wlth'hel!,' -and' Hho had strained every nerve to bring about a dissolution oi the Union from the moment, I say, thad bUCOy VI' V LAJ IVQ VI UUl.

It was owing to the machinations of this faction that disunion and civil war were -pot peaceably averted; It was to- their machinations that we owe the prolongation of the war two years longer than it would otherwise have lasted ; It is owing to them that the Union was not completely restor ed as soon as peace was achieved; and they are the men who, with diabolical ingenuity, add, every day, some new element of dis cord to aggravate, our unsettled and dan gerous condition, and to menace us with a future of anarchy or despotism. ?. -J ' ! They overwhelmed with abuse and ridi-i cule every man, - who before the ' War,' sought to preserve theUniott by peaceful. means: -iney-nuntearuown, as laras tney were nble, every general of the war, how-: ever meritorious, who refused to become their servile partisan; they deprived Mc Clellan of his command because after South Mountain and Antietam, it was plain that peace could speedily be obtained on the ba sis of the .Constitution and Union of our, fathers,and because he was in favor ot thus obtaining it t they converted the war from what thePresideotaud Congress at the otit-i set declared it to be a war to preserve the.

And do not suppose that this concerns right before us here In Ohio to confer the vote on seven of eigbt thousand blacks and mulattoes and to take it away from about three times as many white soldiers. isut tins is a mere urop in tue uucitet coinpareu to the proposition to make voters out of all tbe negroes of, the' South and non-voters out of a majority of the white men there. If tuat De aone, tne negro voters will outnum ber the white voters in nearly or quite ev ery Southern State; and their votes may maKe your rresiaencs ana v ice jf residents for half a centnry to come.- ' For that result is what a considerable body of voters, voting solidly one way. though a minority, can generally effect. It is the old problem of a balance of power party that gives success to whatever side it goes With, and controls its , principles and governs its measures. ' ''! It was thus that the Abolitionists got control of the Whig party, destroyed its organization, 'and built upon its ruins Ja great ana triumphant sectional party. And so, if the Radical plans of su 13 rage be car ried t, the negroes of the South will be come the balance of power, and destroying tne present so-caiieu Jtepuoncan organiza tion, will bring into existence a yet -more radical party--a white man disfranchising, property -confiscating, social equality,-miscegenation party that wiU rule this country-until tae.oonsequenceat the ex peri tnent shall become too grievous to be borne, and tbe people shall rise iii their strength and.throw,'? thedegradingand disgns-iiug vokeVi NeTj-d4miiiionliisc:andjie!Ji!o ex tinction finally must, It seems to me,.hethe inevrt&ble result of the experiment if tried. The latter is horrible to contemplate and the former Is full of horrors also; For what has been the result of political and social equality among diflercnt and greatly dls- J r Imllar races in the same country?. Look t the South American Republic',-Jook at (exico, nay, look at Hayti,-where even the lacks and mulattoes, though olosely rela , ed, have been compelled to separate, the rmer occupying one part and the latter nother part of the island, because they - annot live together in peace" In all these . ountries-wbat have we seen but alterna tions of anarchy and despotism for the last hirty years ? No stable Government no advance, in civilization, no increase in ealth, no security for life, liberty or prop , rty; but everywhere burnings, plunder ngs, murders, insurrections, proscriptions .nd confiscations. Shall, we, my friends, rlng upon one-third of our country a sim - i4ar fate ? v - - '-. Shall we make a Mexico of the land that ,rave birth to Washington and Jefferson, to Irfarlon and Rhtlcdge, to Jackson and Clay? Jhall we make the descendants of the men of '70. slaves of slaves never to be freed from, thraldom except through an ordeal of anarcny r snail we Diinoiy anu stupiuiy, . for the gratification of revenge or the pro lopgation of the power of a party, entail such calamities upon our common country? Jtrust not, I believe not for I have not vet lost my ancient confidence in the Integrity and wisdom ot the people. Just . as firmly - as I. believe that the negro, race is. not.capible of self-government and in the light ot science, history and experience, I certainly do believe tliat just so firmly do 1 believe that the white race is thus capable ; and if this be so I cannot expect It to surrender its power or share It with those whom God, lor his own wise purposes has made infe rior and incapable. . If there be any who think that tbe illus trations I have given are of little value,be cause the whites, of Mexico and South America are chiefly of Spanish descent, and the inhabitants of Indian blood there out number all. others, let him turn his eyes to Jamaica, where, under the most favorable circumstances that could be imagined, the experiment has been tried of social and po litical equality between our own' Anglo Saxon race-and the negro.'-- - - -: The British Parliament not only eman cipated the slaves of that island, but it con ferred upon them an absolute equality -of rignts, political as well as civil, with tne whites.-, The right to vote, to sit on juries, to hold office, were all granted as well as the right to freedom,' and , to acquire, bold and dispose , of property. Not only -this, but immense sums have - been - expended, partly by the Government and partly by philanthropists, to educate and christian ize the blacks, and to procure . for them farms sufficient for their decent sdpport. And now what is the result?. A plain and undeniable failure. The production of the Island not one-third what It formerly Wa, society everywhere fearfully demoralized, a negro insurrection occurring within the last year and put doWn with a great destruc tion of life, and, at length, the British Parliament- compelled to supersede for the present at least, and perhaps forever, the local government, and take the rule into its own hands. Such are the fruits of near ly thirty years' experience ot white and negro equality in the fairest and most fer tile Island of the globe. And this state of things is not. accidental or spasmodic. The decay and demoralization have gone on, in--creasing from year to year, ever since the inauguration 01 negro equality, a ears af ter the adoption of that policy, the Ameri can and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, in its annual report of 1S53, felt compelled to admit that "a nation of slaves cannot ' at once, be converted into a nation of intelli gent, industrious and moral freemen." 'And that, "It Is not too much even now, to say of the people of Jamaica their condition is exceedingly degraded, their morals woe fully corrupt." i:" '- ' ' - 1 About the same time, the London Times thus forcibly and truthfully described .'the situation: -. -- - ... ---., . - "The negro has not acquired, with his .freedom, any habits of Industry or morality.- His independence is but little better than that of an uncaptured brute. Having .accepted few of the restraints of civiliza tion, ne is amena Die to lew or its necesM- ties: and the wants ot His nature are so reasily satisfied, that at. the current rate of ,wages, ne 13 cauea upon lor, nothing Dup Titiui or desultory exertion. The blacks, therefore, instead of becoming intelligent husbandmen, have become vagrants and Squatters, and it is now "apprehended that wttn tne -failure ot cultivation lu the Island -will come the failure of its resources for in structing or controlling its population. So imminent does this consummation appear. that memorials nave been signed by classes . of ijolonial society hitherto standing aloofj from politics, and not-onlv the bench and the bar, bat the bishops, 'clergy and mlnis- .tera 01 aw--aenonnngtiong m mo' island, without exception, have recorded their conviction,' that, in the absence ot timely Tenet, tne religious ana educational insti tutions of the island', must be abandoned. "and the masses of the population retrograde to DarDarisra. " Mr. Bigclow, an " editor of the 'Evening Jfost, one or me most influential ot the lour "nals of New' York, and strongly" anxi- siavery, alter naving spent a winter in Ja maica, says of its condition from 1S43 to 1858 ' - - 'This' decline has been going on from jear to year, daily becoming more alarm ing," until at length the island has reached what would appear to be the last profound iitdistjess and mlsery,Vheh thousands of people do not Know, when they rise in the morning, whence or in wbat.manner.they are to procure bread lor the day." . A The.American Missionary, a religious perl-1 odieal, and theergaoof the American Mis-k sioiary Association, in its number for J uly 1855. contained the following : n-From the ,' number b '. churches-' and chapels in the island,; Jamaica ourtt' cer tainly to pe called a Ohristain land. The people may' be called a church-going peo ple.. There are chapels arid places of wor ship -enough, at least in this part of the island, to supply the people If every station of our mission were given up. And there -te n iack of ministers and preachers. As .far as I am acquainted, almost the entire -adult population profess to have a hope of ieternal life, and X think the large part are") connected with churches, in view ot such facts, some hSie- been led to say, ' The .Spiritual condition ot. the. population -.is very, satisfactory.' But Ihere is another class of facts that is perfectly astounding. With this array of the externals of religion, rbhe broad, deep wave of moral death rdlls over the land. A man may be a drnnkard, a liar, a Sabbath-breaker, a profane man, a -fornicator, an adulterer and such like and be known to be such and go to chapel, and hold up his head there, and feel no dis grace from these things,' because they are so common as to create a public sentiment in his favorj He may go to the communion table, and cherish a bope or heaven, and not have his hope disturbed.- I might tell of persons guilty of some if hot all these -things, ministering in noiy inings.-- 1 close the proofs of the state of things 'in Jamaica by the following very clear -statement of a correspondent ot the Boston .Post, written last June; and I pray you to note tne similarity or tne practices ot tne English and American -abolitionists, and to -ask yourselves whether - the same causes that produced the negro insurrection in Jamaica, may hot, if allowed to exist, pro duce like insurrections nere : i " Editor Boston Post : I notice In your issue a day or two since an article which censures Gov. Eyre, of Jamaica, for his vigorous measures in suppressing the late insurrection. It is not strange to me that the American press is greatly in error upon this subject, as all intelligence has reached this country through English Liberal pa pers. As I know you desire to' arrive at -the plain truth upon all subjects, allow me to give you wnat 1 Deneve to De a trutntui -presentation of facts connected with the Jamaica insurrection, gathered from per sonal observation on the Island at tbe close -of the outbreak. . . .1 , "In no country of the world has more money been spent and greater efforts been made for the moral, intellectual and mate rial improvement of the negro than in Ja maica. Soon after emancipation the right nf elepl.ivft franchise was given to the black man. He was allowed to hold any office of "trust which'as at the disposal of the peo ple. A free school system was devised and -established, with a free college or institute, where the higher classics, the sciences and mechanic arts were'' taught.-- Benevolent persons in-' England made, large endow-; mentsof professorships in these institutions which were and are filled by eminent men of the old country; The churches of Eng land and Scotland Wei supported by Gov ernment in the most liberal manner, and the-Missionary .Societies of the Methodist Episcopal , and Baptist denominations in Europe , extended their ,w6rk' there until the 'meeting housed was as common, and .the .sound of the. church-going" bell' as frequent as in the most favored portions of . -kt 1 J nM. nil nrhfiih our own .wvw Auggiauu. xuuo ....... an enlightened nation could do for the prosperity,- the intellectual- improvement "aOaVthe morality bfthe black man had been done enough,-one would certainly sup pose, to raise community of whites to a most - prosperous- state. - Combined'' with this were tbe- advantages of a wonderfully productive soil and a- salubrious climate.; Th rapfji ai rmffsMnn lor Americans to know at this juncture is what have beenj theTcsults or all tnese enurw - . .-((Alter emAnclnatlon the npo-rnna ramatn. Jd on the old plantations. But Llberalists from England began to teach them that they should break loose from their old masters and-settle on the Government lands or be come tenants of the landholders. This fa talstep they took. The negro, finding himse'f free from restraint, gave up work. He retained only sufficient vigor to i plant the few yams necessary to support life or to pick the abundant fruits of the tropics ; his clothing was.ol the poorest kind, and in most cases was never removed from his person' until it fell off; this ueglect brought on loathsome disease which the bresighf Of a master had formerly providet. against: he removed hi3 children from school, and his religion -degenerated into the tnost1 re volting sensualism, .insi'f. 'The effect upon the piaster was that his revenues were cut off for want ot laborers; his rich valleys of sugar cane gave place to underbrush ; ' his coffee and allspice groves ran up to timber; his smiling bill sides of bananas and oranges were over grown by the invasive mango tree; his castle wasted in decay ; his plantation, which -bad - yielded . him thousands of pounds per annum, was worib. only a few hundred dollars; and the noble families of England which had courted 'alliances With the princely : planters- of ' Jamaica, now -turned from liim-in disdain., .Could his misfortune and, that of the, negro be greater "i -. '.. "The sequel will snow. ' The negrd en thusiasts of England Would not allow that this degeneracy arose from any character istics of the black man. but Irom the dom ineering .spirit of, the white,, .They there fore sent to the Island party delegates to direct the negro vote, place radicals In power,- aiid destroy the influence- of the white element. They : chose among the Islanders a brown jnaa named Gordon, no torious for questionable principles, and several.) negro preachers, natives of the Barbadoes, who had influence among) the blacks- These' told the negroes that the yueen designed the Island to be a : black colony, that the. w bites were usurpers, and that the Crown secretly favored a move ment to throw the power into the hands of ner mack subjects.';. - ; v . So much tor negro equality in Jamaica. Let us now turn to Canada. You have all heard Qf the underground railroad and how thousands ,of negroes were run on upon it to Canada,-and there settled In the enjoy, mentot all the. privileges of the whites the right to vote included. 'Well howtdid the. , experiment .worjt? Let the Canada officials and people answer. It would take a volume W contain all their testimony on the subject. ;Ai few. ,; brief extracts, nust sufflces forithej present,..! j . ( , r, -i; I read first from the charge or the pre-, Siding Judge of the Quarter Sessions Court ot the Amhersttmrg District, to the grand iury The Judge said : " "Having disposed of the law relating to these offenses, I arrive at a very painful part of my observations, in once more call ing the particular attention "of-the grand jury, as well as the public at large, to the remarkable and' "appalling circumstance that among -population of -near 20,000 soulgfHihabiting thi District, the greater portion ot tne crude perpetrated therein should be committed by less than 2 000 refut gees from a life ot abject slavery, to a land of liberty,, protection- -and, comfort-r-and from whom, therefore, if there be such gen erous feelings as thankfulness and gratitude, a far different line of conduct might rea sonably be expected..-1 allude to the alarm ing .increase ot crime still perpetrated by the colored settlers, and who, In spite of the late numerous, harrowing convicted ex amples, unhappily furnish the whole of the otf'-nsea now likelyvtO: be brought hefore you." 1 7-ji.i .:' 1: . ; .;r,i-.- ' 1 I next tend from the address of a public meeting. heldiat Chatham; August 1S,1S19 to the peoptejof Canada: .n. j .-; frn;-f 1 "Canadians: The hour has. arrived. when we should arouse from our lethargy: when we should gather ourselves together in our might and resist tbe onward progress of an evil which threateos to entail-upon future generations a thousand curses.. Now is tbe day. r A few short rears will put it beyond our power. - Thousands and tens of thous ands of American negroes, with the aid of the abolition -societies in the' States, anu -with the countenance given them by our philanthropic institutions,-willcontinue to pour into Canada, if resistance is not of fered. .Many of you who Jive at a distance from this frontier, have no -conception ei ther of the numberor the character of these emigrants, or ot the poisonous effect upon the moral and social habits of a communi ty 'You listen with active, sympathy-to - every thins; naff areaof"ttiu iuniiiu(-,a of the poor African;, your, feelings are en- listed and your purse strings .unloosed, and this often by tne hypocritical declama tion' ot - some sell-styled philanthropist. Under such influences , many 1 of you, in our large cities and towns, form yourselves into societies, ana, without reflection, you supply . funds - for the support of , schemes prejudicial to . the ; best interests- of our country i- Against such proceedings, .and especially.-against any and every attempt to settle any township in this District with negroes, we solemnly protest, and we call upon our countrymen in all parts of the frovince,-to assist in our opposition." The apprehensions' expressed in1 'this ad dress were more than realized, I- find. in tbe debates of the Canadian Parliament of. 1857, the following description of Canar dian negroe., by a member, Col.' Prince, who knew them welL'-and who had at first eneo'ufhged". .their - immigration but -bad been ; forced -byexperience to change his opinion,-: He said ? iThe-; blacks:-, were a worthless' useless. thriftless set of beings they were too in (ldolent, lazy and ignorant toi.-work, too proud to be taught; and not only that,, n the criminal calendars of the country were examined, it would be found that they were a majority:of the. -criminals.- They were so detestable that unless some method -were adopted of preventing their, influx into this -country by the "under ground railroad? the people of the West would be obliged to drive them out by open- vie tenee." , . ;' . V'1-1 ' s v-A-yiv,, "In November, 1859, the grand iury ot Essex county miade a- presentment to -the court n Jilie: subject of the evils resulting; from the negro settlements in that county. Lin which the, opinion was expressed ttiat unless some measure was taken oy. tne Government to protectthe whites and their property,, persons- of; capital-should; be driven. from the, country... ,1..II".,,.r ,(,.,A Iii remarking upon this presentment the Judge-observed, that "he was not surprised at finding, prejudice existing against them Ithe negroes) among the respectable porr tion of the people, for they .were .indolent, shiftless and dishonest, and unworthy of the sympathy that some mistaken parties1 extended to them; they would noir'workj when opportunity was presented,' but pre ferred subsisting by tbievlpgtrom respect able farmers, and begging from those, be nevolently inclined.? '.,.'!- '. .. IJiave thought fit to produce these proofs, (not one out of a hundred that might be produced), notwithstanding their incor venient length, because some of them may be new to you and because experience is of rar more value than, mere opinion. That there may be exaggerated expressions' In some of them 'Is Very possible,', but that tbey are in the main correct would seem to be undeniable, and they certainly show that tbe Canadian and Jamaica attempts at ne gro and white equality, like every such at tempt elsewhere, have proved miserable failures. "' i But if there be any here who prefer. the opinions of eminent men, and who, as is very likely the case, attach more weight to thejudgmentof gentlemen of the Repub lican party than tbey do to mine, I invite their attention, .first, to what was said by Mr. Liucoln in one of his celebrated de bates with- Senator Douglas, in Illinois., and which I take lrom the copy of , his speech revised by himself., He said ; .,; -:. VI will say then that I am not nor never have been, in favor of bringing about, in any way, the social and political equality of the tohite and black races ;. that I am not .nor never have been iu favor of making voters or jurors of negroes norof qualifying them to holdof fice or intermarrying with the white people, and I will say in addition to this, that there ia . nhiixirri difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living togecuer oa terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as tbey cannot so live, while tbey do remain together, there must be the po sition of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in .iavor)f having the superior' position assigned' to the white man."' : - -I next call to the stand your late distin guished .Governor, Mrj .Dennisonj and I read from his official annual message of January, 186- to: the Ohio Legislaturetrr llesaia: ., .!.-..- ;.:; :v-.,i-.vi-ivo . ,.'An act of Immediate general emancipa tion, throwing four millions of the colored caste loose on society. .North and South. would lepve -them tnor eiwtoe2 than, they are now,.

I read from It as follows; - "You, judging from this distance, say 'Deliver the four millions of freed people into tbe hands ot their former, oppressors, now embittered, by their defeat and thpy will make their condition worse than before.
