ROGER A. FUiOR O.V TUE XEGRO.
Hon. Roger A. Prror. a member nf Concresa
from Virginia In its btllun times, and prominent
among tho pro-slavery members of lha House, on
Tuesday last lo Brooklyn dell tt red a leclur en
tb Present and Future of tho Negro In Un
South," before the Long Island Historical Roclly.
The .lecturer said that th fortune of five anllv.
lion human being, part f the population and
political community or tho nation, could not but
b matter for aaxloua deliberation to every thinks
ing man. Oar own welfare was Intimately coo.
nected with that of Ihe negro. If not by geaeroaar
Impulses, then by sordid selMnteresti for Jntt so
sure a tbe negro waa enllghtenel and morally
eleratod would bo contribute to the good of tb
nation t andjnst sofarash wss Improvident and
dwarfed In Intellect would his Influence b felt on
tb whlto ri-ca Th lecturer said ther never,
was ft race which owed lets tothe past than tb
negro of th South. Th negro race, however.
nau maintained itseir a no other rao Had rr.
done In a mighty conflict with th greater eirlUsJU
tlon offt ruling r.w. Thirty yarcloe ober'
ration of tho negro bad convinced tb speaker
thattbero was nodeficlency on their part, pbysM'
cally, morally or Intellectually, and that thfi
were capanio 01 attaining in nignsst emulation.
He then spoke of their talthfnlnes, earnest re-,
Uglous spirit, and said It was true that ther verity
some dark colors to the picture, but. It mart bo
borne la mind that while tire virtues of th negro
wer bis own, his vices wer Ids heritage, and tb
former outnumbered tb latter. Tb speaker,
gar Interesting tUtlttlcs to show what tb negro
wa capable of doing, and what h bad acoom.
pushed alnce emancipation, and said that ft trn
Idea of their condition eould only b obtained by.
vliiUng among them, and comparing their present,
condition with their post. Tit prejudice efyae
and color agalmt th negro entertained al th
South, and also at th North, was yet to b Ovey-t
come. It was seeji in the church, theatr, hotel,
and, said the speaker, even In th graveyaroVfor
the bonei ofa negro may not rest In your benatt-'
ful cemetery. X bar great hopes for th rtgro.'
To bo sure, the system or slavery was not th host,
chool In which to learn th science or gorfnK
inent, but we have not yet heard that ft negro
