SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

=
We have before us an Address delivered
by FREDERICK DOUGLASS, before the literary
societies of Western Reserve College, at Com
mencement July 18th, 1852 This is per-
haps the first occasion in this country that a
man of color has been called upon to lecture
before a Literary Institution. The subject se-
lected for the entertainment of the audience
was the " Claims of the Negro \" and we have
been most agreeably surprised, on careful
perusal Of the Address, to observe the candor,
learning ard discrimination, with which the
author has discussed it. Those who are seek
ing for information upon the origin Of the
races, and kindred topics should on no ac-
count omit careful perusal Of this eloquent
vndication Of the negro race, and of the Scrip
tural account Of the creation of man. Mr.. Doug
lass has condensed into small compass o
great amount Of learning upon the interesting
theme and although his comments and re-
Elections ere made in spirit Of calm philoso-
ply, there are occasional flashes of true elo-
quence.
1t is ono Of the marvels Of the age, that q
fugitive from Slavery, reared to manhood un-
der all the weight of its depressing influences,
should be the author of this able and learned
Address. This fact alone is the best refuta-
ton of the atheistical fanatics, who would ex-
clude the negro from the pale Of manhood.

THE SARATOGA CONVENTION.

The New York Tribune has the following:
Let Wings, Democrats, and Free Sellers,
who mean to have the great wrong of 1854 re-
dressed, be sent as delegates from each county,
so that the Convention may embody and give
effect to the conclusions not only of the free
souled advocates of universal liberty in our
own State, but Of the various sections and par
ties between which they have hitherto been
divided, and thereup0l act 80 as to give the
greatest possible forces and efficiency to their
overwhelming sentiment of resistance to the
incessant aggressioDs of Slavery and the Slave
Powern
The Otsego Democrat, fearless uncorrupted
organ of that portion Of the Radical -Democ-
racy of our State which supported Van Buren,
in lS48, and has never repcnted of that act,
forcibly says:
Since the call for the Saratoga Convention
was issued, we have carefully noted the oppo-
sition to that movement and the quarter from
which it has emanated and from our observa
ton have become satisfied of two things: the
first Of which is that the people of this State,
sickened and disguised with the venality
and treachery Of Office seeking politicians, and
alarmed at the arrogant demands and aggres-
sions Of the Slave Power, not only desire to
meet in some such Convention as that called
for the 10th of August, to decide upon some
plan of action for the future but are fully de-
termined to do 30. Their confidence in those
who assume to be party leaders has been 50
wantonly abused and outraged, the rights and
interests of the People so trafhcked away by
dishonest and mercenary political tricksters,
that they regard party lines as less binding
than formerly, and falling back upon their
own strength and resources-irresistible when
called into action-they seem determined to
spurn the dctation of assumed party leaders,
and to select for their representatives such men
as will faithfully carry out their wishes.
Sin the second place, we have observed that
certain presses and ofice-seeking politicians are
endeavoring to create an opposition to such a
movement, and prevent the consummation Of
the objects in view. The deceptive cry Of
Abolition will not shake the firm determine
ton of the People in the matter; and those
doughfaces who are reckless enough to oppose
the Convention, will find that there is neither
the strength nor disposition in any party in the
North to save them from oblivion.
"The Convention will be held, and q much
more severe rebuke Administered to the aiders
and abettors in the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, than they receive at the hands Of
such presses and advocates-an acquiescencc
in the outrage"

This bill is, at the Same time, both tho worst and
the best bill ever acted upon by Congress.
Of Hon Charles Summer, Of M1ssaehnsetts on me
fazl passage Of the Kansas and Nebraska 6'H.
IT'S tho worst and tho best Of the deeds ye have done,
And dcstinys angel the records shall trace;
1t shall tell that the race of the traitor is rum
And that Freemsn henceforth shall be found in
their place.
From New Hampshiros tall peaks, frowning darkly
and dun,
To the valleys which sleep by the far Western
Flood,
Shall be echoed the deeds of her recreant son,
Who hath bartered in shame what was purchased
with blood.
Too long, like the ravenous vultures of war,
Have the traitors been fed while our rights have
been sold;
Those rights, which, to Freemen, we're dearer by far
Than the gems Of crown in their settings of gold
IT'S written! Aye, written, for 10! on the wall,
The pale finger of Doom hath engraven it deep
And voice, which presagcs your ultimate fall,
Is awakened at last, and shall never more sleep.
1t shall thrill through the land, like wall from the
dead
And voice shall reply from forefathers' graves,
That the soil where tho blood Of tho martyrs was
shed,
Shall be evermore FREQ from the football of slaves
All hail to the future. It's promise is ours,
Though the storm and the tempest should herald
its birth;
Ye shall lcok but in vain, for spirit that covers
Ye shall learn, of truth, that there get as North
the land,
The pent fires Of Freedom at last shall break forth
And Liberty yet shall have whcrcon to stand,
Till she skaters the thrones Of the tyrants Of
earth!

From tho New York Timss.l

Mr.. O. A. Brownson has written letter, pub
lished in the Catholic Mirror at Baltimore, de-
signed to reconcile his Catholic friends to his
recent article on Native Americanism. After
vindicating it from sundry criticisms passed
upon it. he says:
81 had a motive in what did, and motive
which supposed would be patent enough TO
eusry intelligent Catholic but it seems that In
this overrated their sagacty, and OF course
must suffer for my mistake. The end had
in view was, am sure, such as every Catholic
who is, and every foreigner who wishes to be-
come, citizen OF this Union would have heart
lily approved land, believing that enjoyed the
confidence of the Catholic public felt very
sure Of accomplishing it, But was mistaken,
and, by the hastiness and passion Of my Catho-
lic friends, il has been defeated.
9 But allow me, gentlemen, to conclude by
calling your attention to one or two facts, which
should be known without my telling them.
We Catholics are an small minority, and The
sentiment Of the country is strongly INIT Catho-
lie. Every measure that we oppose as hostile
to US, the country will favor and adopt; and
every measure we support as fovorabls to our IN
terest, At a0iU reject. am sorry that it is 30,
but so it is and think that in regard to
matters which depend on popular votes, and
in which wo are interested as Catholics, the
more quiet we keep, the better il will be for US
You ought from this to understand me-"
II may be that Mr.. Brownson has not writ
ten here precisely what hc intended to say
But as the letter reads, Mr., Brownson's expla-
nation is moro creditable to his shrewdness
than to his sincerity. The Catholics, he says,
are in small minority, and whatever they ad-
vocate as favorable to their interests, is certain
to be rejected. He had, therefore, advocated
Native Americanism, as favorable to Catholic
interest; and thia he gives them to understand,
was done in order to secure its rejection He
thought the Catholics would have "under-
stood y this; but he finds he overrated their
sagacity." These tactics SAVIOR Of what is ia
