gathered TO bis bosom the spears that his associ
atos might pass on to conquest, and Switzerland
be saved.
But our hero, who was one of n dominant class,
looked upon q despised race, a race denationalized
and dehumanized, with no culture, no marriage
no rights that are respected, mere too's, to subserve
4he interest, and pleasure and onvenience of others
hewers Of wood and drawers of water, and for
these he lioed, lived long years of selfdenial, Of
devotion to their cause; and for these he at length
fought, and blod, and died. And the Lay will
tell how all true hearts were made stronger and
better by his life, and by his death, all selfshness
was rebuked; and good men made pilgrimages to
his tomb and did themselves honor by lamenting
one so truly brave.
THE martyrdom OF 1859 is SO directly connected
with the objects of this society that We have given
1t prominence in this Report.
In conclusion we must express our regret that 50
little has been performed by us, in view of thu
great work to be done. We hope that our success
'sors will be less crippled in their resources than
we have been, and that this society .he coming
year, with the impulse, that the anticipated cam,
paigu of our Eastern friends will give, may be
able to do a work commensurate with the impor-
tance of the object for which VIC are associated,
BY direction or the Executive Committee.

snco clothed with power. But in the presence of
all those who will visit you, my words might seem
Ike feeble aud purposeless tttornnccs.
am going to spend part Of this fall visiting and
occurring among the colored people. We need
some earnest and e%lcvatins influence among our
selves, and possibly soma of the very best anti
slavery work I can do is to labor earnestly and
faithfully among those with whom / am identified
by complexion, race and blood. Upon our alleged
lnieriority IS based our social ostraoism and politi-
cal prescription, and SO long as they arc down, /
belong to q down trodden race. To teach our peo-
pie how to build up a character for themselves
a character that will challenge respect in spite Of
opposition and prejudice to develop their own
souls, intellect and genius, and thus verify their
credentials, is some of the best a%nti.s very work
that can DO done in this country. do not say
that this is the whole work, but it should be an
important department of reform effort. viii you
suggest to Mrs. Foster and Mr.. Pillsbury that
there are a number Of colored Sc elements in the
west, where a few words Of advice and encourage
ment among our people might act as a stimulont
and charm and If they would change the public
opinion Oh the country, they should not find it, |
hope, a useless work to strive to elevate the char
acter OF the colOred people, not merely by infu.
encing The public around them but AMONG them {;
for after all, this prejudice Of which such com.
plant has been made, if | understand it eriebt is
simply a great protest Of human minds rising up
against slavery, and so hating it FOR themselves
that they learn not only to despise it, but The peo-
pie that submit to it, and those identified with
them by race. 1t is the same feeling that the
Norman had against his Saxon Slave-it is the
protest of strength against weakness, of power
against teebleness, an unconscious recognition
that slavery is not the normal condition of men.
Well, if am not present, may God speed every
loving word, heroic utterance or earnest cxpres-
sion that may be heard in your midst.
