exist, and colored men were allowed TO fill
posts in the army and elsewhere. He had
been refused a passport to come to Europe,
which the American Secretary told him was
never granted except to the servants of d.
plomatic agents, while at the same time a
regular passport was granted TO the boot
black of a slavcholding Judge who was going
out as Consul to Naples.
MIR. Brown then narrated several glaring
instances of prejudice against color, in con-
firmation of Mr.. Thompson's assertion, which
MIR. Jones had denied. In Rowe street church
in Boston, which had not been built above
two years, it was provided in the deed, that
if a pew was sold to a colored man, the sale
should be null and void. "A voice-'No

The same exclusive, degrading and persecu-

The circumstance proves, however, the
baleiul effects which slavery eXerts over ev-
cry individual who comes within the sphere
OF its influence. Here is u man who, in
1872, iii conjunction with Daniel O'Connell,
sent forth an address to America, signed by
10000 lrishmen, calling upon their country
men i'll the United States 10 take sides with
abolitionists, and have nothing ut all to do
with pro-slavery people, as far as their in
%tluence was concerned; telling them that
the abolitionists were the friends OF the ne
gro, and calling upon them to join them
heart and hand and telling them, moreover,
that they must not even keep neutral, for
there was ITO neutral ground upon the anti
slavery platform. Hear. That man goes
TO America, breathes its corrupting air, and
mark in u moment he is p~aralyzed; lie can
do nothing whatever for the poor slave whom
he had before recommended to the Jealous
support of his countrymen in the United
States. Hear. He was called upon by the
slave, i'll the persons of the Auti-Slavery
Committee, to attend a First of August meet
ing i'll celebration Of that British West India
Emancipation which he himself had labored
to bring about. What was his reply? 81
