Yet the Common Council of Peters
burg confer upon white men, not be-
cause Of public services, but simply
because OF color, the exclusive and
separate control OF sidewalks and car
riagcways. 1t is but a few years
since Christians were required to dis
mount at the gate OF Damascus, and
TO enter the city on foot (; and also, on
paying their taxes, were required to
bend Their ncckS TO receive a stroke
from the hand OF the collector, III to-
Ken OF their humiliation. The tyran-
ny OF Mahomctanlsm over Christians
IS broken, but the tyranny of slavery
remains to curse this Christian land.
