A Colored Clergyman on Social
Equality.
Bev. Mr. Butler, a colored minister,
addressed the Kentucky Colored Con
, 5 veution, at Louisville, a few days ago,
as follows:
* "Tbe future of this country depends
■* «, £ not so much on what party is in power
as it does on the removal of all disabil
ities; they weigh down its people. Then,
and not until then, will the country have
peace. We don't ask for social equality.
I never saw a white woman yet that
looked
brown colored woman. And if it wasn't
-so, we don't need their social equality,
because our friends, the white Democrats,
have kiqdly managed it so that we bave
every shade to chose from, from the
deepest jet black to the purest* white.
. (Laughter.) And as there are ualadies
n resent allow me to khv th*t tho nrae
present, aiiow me to say that the prac of
tine of social equality has not been on
»Id., but on the part of the Demo c
well in uiy eyes as a good
ratic whites , who, in thoir dark and de
vious ways, were not always able, let
us charitably suppose, to tell black from
white. This social equality has not been
sought by us, but they have run after
us ; and though we are now emancipated
and free, they haven't stopped."
A voice—"We'll stop it when we get
the testimony."
"Yes, that's so. They better not come
my wuy even now. We say to them,
let us alone; we don't want any mix
ture. If they had left me alone, I might
have known what color I was ; but as it
is, my greatest trouble is to keep my
hair just right. Don't talk about social
equality. If I was a whit«» man in Ken
tucky I would hide my head ; I wouldn't
mention it with so many evidences
standing around of my social equality.
We don't wan't any more of it. Keep
on your Hide of the line and we'll keep
keep on our side, and in the course of
time we'll get back where God left us."
-An Irishman weqt into a res
taurant the other day and on being
asked what he would have, replied:
"Wittles, to ato." He was supplied with
a dish of "hash," and looking at it a
moment he said, " fot's that ?" "Wittles,
to ate,"said Nie. "Then by god," said
Pat, "the man that chewed thim can
at^thim!" ^
