colored and white politicians of The Genilt
Smith and Fremont school, al which The for
mer gentleman figured. After discussing the
policy of compensated emancipation, in
which Mt Smith favored and Fred Douglas
opposed the plan, the question of finance
came up, and this elicited discussion, in
which the philaElhropisi oil Peerboro' stated
that be had paid money for Kansas until he
was tired, and he did 10, know where il had
gone, or what good II had done. He said he
had done bleeding to the Society. |, had
cost him now over $1,000, whereas the Soci.
ely had only raised 81, 500. He said It was
riding the free horse TO DEATH and he would
no longer stand it; that he had got note after
nole discounted last fall for the purpose of
raising funds for Kansas, and he didn't know
where it had gone, aud he didn't see that the
Society was any better for it, Hesaid in con.
clusion, he had done. The Society must help
themselves, that he was tired, disguised and
needed sleep, and if there was no other ques.
tioE before the house, he would declare the
Convention adjourned sine die.
