speecn f-om Brudder Hampton.


The last Ottawa RepubHcan, in reporting
the proceedings of the Ossawatomites at
the court house, on the evening before the
late election, Announces that
"Mr. Hamton stated the object for
which the meeting was called.
Having learned accidently that Mr.. H.
was charged with speech, and knowing, |
from his proverbial mode.ty that we should |
look in vain in his own paper for report
of that speech, we despatched two steno-
graphers to the court house, by whose
skill we have been enabled to rescue this
precious piece of oratory from the gulf of
everlasting forgetfulness
T. Brudder Hampton said
Gen,Sn,ea-It being now generally con-
coded that | am the Editor of the Ottawa
| Republican, one of the peeps-thought
Tim Rhodes was from which our party
took its name; bein of de right color and
! speak de langwedge Niger Pete-rather
poorly, being charged with a speech
| hem anxious to make it-and knowing
/ there is no chance of beng called out,
from your slowness to appreciate my pow
ers as an orator-hah seize this opportu-
nifty to exhibit myself to the faithful by
way of explaining the object of this meet
ing. You know there is a political party
in this county who are not Of our COM
pexion-who think themselves better
than the colored population-who would
no more kiss the voiuptuous lips of a CO.
lored lady than attempt "a voyage to yon
silvery orb that illumes the night! hear
Now, my bredren, you know that our par
ty rests upon the backs of the. colored
population. Knock out this un3erpn-
ming. and our party tunbles 10 chaos like
the superintendent peaks of the Andes
riven by an earthquake! Tremendous
