Ever since Dr. Johnson's celebrated toast,
" Here's to the next insurrection of the negro

him to be present at the banquet.

Senator Foot, in reply to Senator Seward, on the
Cuba Bill, eloquently asks—

Does the Senator imagine, then, that he can devote seas
and shores in America as mild and beautiful as the ancient
Mediterranean and the gardens that surround it to the
exclusive dominion of negroes,—driving the white man to
struggle for ever with the ice-bound streams,' the pitiless
snowdrifts, or any of the barriers with which winter would
