Mr. Quincy then offered the following sen-
timent:-
The People Of Color of .qnerica-The uner-
ring instinct ofpersecution teaches them who
are their friends, and their unanimous ver-

faithful and uncompromising friend of the
black man, whether bond or free.

Mr. Phillips has said to inhict speech upon
the audience, but simply to respond to tho
sentiment offered, aud to add a word or two
