impression upon his posterity has been
the French in Algiers. The French Killed
off these fllibusters, until they have got
them into some very imperfect kind of
obedience. From the day that the angel
Of God made that prophecy in reference to
this slave boy, his progeny have gone on
illibustering, fighting and rohhing. This
good qunlity they have had. | believe, IN
all their history; if you broke their bread
and tasted their suit they would die by
you. / would thnt some of our Southern
friends would treat some OF our Yankee
gentlemen as we'll, when they go amongst
them. (Laughter.) The Angel told this
mother that she had better go back into
slavery. If that Angel had been an agent
of the underground railway, then this
mother would have been advised to take
herself and her son off to Canadn.-
(Laughter.)
So much for the historical fact. That
very able man who was the father of that
boy had another family, and they, in a.
after This, were sold into
slavery, and so they remained, we are told
for four hundred and seventy years. AT
the end of that time, God abolished that
scrvitude and repealed the fugitive slave
law, very much to the dismny and aston
ishmeut of the pursuing masters, and
labor and service tothem. Then he allow
cd them to 20 home-to their Africa, or TO
speak without figure TO the home of their
fathers. That repeal of the Egyptian
fugitive slave bill, on the shore of the
Red Sea, with all its incidents, is worthy
of some notice now, aud at all times. We
hear much said of women taking part in
politics now-n-days. Something very like
it occurred on the occasion to which
refer. Just MS the bnbbling death groan
OF the Egyptian host had risen to the sur
face of the sea, and was borne away upon
the hot breath of the winds, woman,
notable woman, then and there broke forth
in n very remarkable triumphal song
Miriam, the sister of Aaron, with all the
dark eyed daughters of the fugitive He
brew slaves. shouted out, "Sing We to the
Lord for gloriously hath He triumphcdi
the horse and his rider hath He cast into
the sea-" That. was their !'Ilail COlum-
bin.' Sir, that song of the prophecies has
rung in my ears in day, and often in night
time, too. In my dreams of the ultimate
destiny of man, have supposed it would
ring in the ears and Ggitate the souls of
men, till the words "king and subjects,
rulers, aud ruled" should be lost in two
words, "brothers-sisters-"
THE PURITAN ''TwAyG" AND PURITAN
COURAGE.
Ny colleague, Mr.. Cox. spoke of Il meet
ing upon the western reserve in Ohio. He
is young gentleman, n rising man, and,
if he does not get bad habits upon the
Democratic side of the House, may come
to something some days hence. (Iaugh-
ter.) He amused himself with the comic
power lie possesses in initiating the nasal
twang of the Yankees of that reserve. 1t
sounded strange to you, as it did to him,
and so it did to the army of Prince Rupert
Mt Marston Moor, when the ancestors of
these men rushed into battle against the
mailed chivnlry and curled dnrlings of the
court of Charles |. What happened
then? Something worthy to be noted,
and not forgotten. Stout Cromwell and
his uucouquerablc Ironsidcs, when the
day was well nigh lost. charged with re-
sistless fury upon the proud columns of
that host of gentlemen, as they were
bonstfully denominated, and 10 Prince
Rupert and his host were no loager there.
They were scattered US the dried leaves OF
autumn are before the storm-blast OF the
coming winter. The same nasal twang
rang out, on that day, their well known
war cry, "the sword of the Lord and
Gideon These Yankees are peculiar
people; they are m industrious, thriving,
pains-taking race of men. The frailtic5 of
these men grow out of their very virtues,
those stern virtues which founded liberty
in England, aud baptized it with their
own blood upon Bunker Hill, in America.
They will do SO again if there lis ncccs-
sity for it. 1t is hard matter to deal
with men who do verify believe that God
Almighty and his angels encamp round
about them. What do they care ,f9T1
