Ounce. You would suppose that these
gentlemen, whose olfactories are 70 sensi-
tive and acute, never saw niger, unless
in menagerie. And yet, would you be-
lieve it the very first service rendered him
on earth is performed by Niger; as an
infant, lie draws tho milk which makes his
flesh and blood and bones from the breast
Of a nigger; looks up in her face and
smiles, and calls her by the endearing namo
Of "mammy,"
(fneips parvs puer Cognoseers riss mairs..
and begs, chaps, in piteous tones, for tho
privilege of carrying "mammy" to the Ter
ritories; he is uudressed and put to bed
by niggcr, and ncstes during the slum-
bers of infancy in the bosom Of nigger;
he is washed, dressed, and taken to the tn
Die, 10y niger, to cat food prepared by
Niger; he is led to and from shool by
nigger; every service that childhood de-
mands is performed by a nieger; except
that Of chastisement, which from the alb
scnce Of good manners in many cases, it is
to be feared is not performed at MI. When
down appears on his lip, tue tonsorial ser
vice is performed by the Niger; and when
he reaches manhood, he invades tho mig
ger quarters, TO place himself in the en-
dearing relation of paternity to half nigg-
ers. Finally,if he should be ambitious.
it may occur that ho will come to Con.
gress to represent constituency, three
fifths Of whom are niggers, and talk
about "Black Republicans" "amalgama-
tion," "nigger equality" "niggcr stealing"
and the offensive olor of niggerism.
/ insist upon it, we have had enough of
tomfoolcry. Let members from the slave
States treat us with the courtesy due from
one gentleman to another, and they will re-
ceive tho same in return. But till then, if
God pleases, they shall have Roland for
an Oliver. l call gentlemen 70 witness,
that during all last session endured this
kind of abuse. Scurrilous letters were
read from the Clerks and l held my
peace. Again this session, old Mosc is
exhumed, and servet up in Democratic
rehash. And who is this old Nose, that is
to form the pabulum of an interesting chap
ter, when some Democratic historian shall
give us the history Of the United Statrs9
A poor, old, scptgenarian negro, whom
never saw, and Of whom l never heard titr
he came to the door-ffee by the admis-
sion Of the blackguard who bad owned
him. I gave him meal Of victuals; he
a few hours till he cars came,,
when ] secured the payment Of his passage
to Chicago, and he went on his way re-
joicing, Ike The Ethiopian of old.
BY the way, ought there not to be an
council of the Democratic
church, to get out an cxpurgated edition

that Phillip should ride with the Ethiopi-
an? 1t is asked why did not state these
facts beftre. l answer, l will not hold
myself bound to explain every ebullition
Of blackguardsm, either in or out of Con.
gress. When boy, I used to strike back
at every dog that 5arked at me as rode
along the highways but l have ceased do
ing SO, long since, and let them bite the
IRON that encrcles the Wheel
And now, what about this negro eaualf-
ty of which we hear SO much, In and out
Of Congress! 1t is claimed BY the Demo.
Gratis Of to-day, that jefferson has uttered
an untruth in the declaration of principles
which undeilie our Government. still
abide by the Democracy of Jefferson, and
avow my belief that all mon arc crcated
equal. Equal howe Not in physical
strength; not in symmetry of form and
proportion; not in gracefulness of motion,
Or loveliness of feature; no. in mental cir
lowment, moral susceptibility, and emo
ional power; not socially equal---not this,
out every human being equally entitled to
lis, life, his liberty, and tho fruit Of his
oil. The Democratic patty deny this fun
lanental doctrine Of our Government aud
NY that there is a certain class Of humrn
beings who have no rights. If you mall.
,lcusy kill them, it is 10 murder; il you
AXE away their liberty, il is no crime; if
you deprive them of their earnings, it is
10 theft No rights which another is
pound to regard! Vas ::i:":- :ii::"e::-- aver SO much
liabolism compressed into one sentence!
Why do the Democrats come to Us with
heir complaints about the negroes! I, for
me, feel no responsibility in the matter
did not create them--was not consulted.
Now, if thcrc is any one dissatisfied with
he fact, that there is a yhclc race of hu.
nan beings created with skin not colorcd
ike our own, let him 60 mouth the heav-
ms, and mutter his llasphemics in tie ear
It the God that ms'ie us all. Tell Him
hat He had no business TO make human
'eings with a black skin l repeat, feel
10 responsibility for this fact. But, mas.
much as it has pleased God to mako them
uman beings,t am bound to regard them
$ such. Instead ofchattcring your gibber-
'h in my ear about negro equality, 20 look
he Son Of God ir the face, and reproach
i'm with favoring negro equality because
g poured out Ms blood for tic most abiect
nd despised of the human family. Goset
e this matter vii b tie God who created,
nd the Christ Who r. deemed.
