aspects, one sentence directly eyidencing
his appreciation OF It's wrongfuness. He
puts ii altogether upon the ground Of cx-
pediency, upon the basis of dollars and
cents. His sympathies extend no far
Their than the European races, and his
principles of government are not intend
ed 10 be of universal application, but
are greatly restricted. The natural rights
of humanity may be violated with inn
purity as respects all races except the
Caucasian, SO far as he is concerned.
He declares in every speech indirectly,
as he has in some directly, that he does
not care whether slavery is voted up or
voted down, and that he is not willing
that the principles Of the Declaration of
Independence should apply to others than
the white race. This shows that his heart
is no better educated than his head, and
no one can justly deny that the follow
inc, respecting the latter, from the Ga
eet!e, is true to the letter:
1t cannot be denied that Mr. Douglass
speeches in the Senate and on the stump, have
for some years been siugularly monotonous, and
that every endeavor to vary the tune has led
him into difficulty. The fact is, his mind has
not received any food such as to give reason to
expect the variety and charm of culture in its
productions There is no evidence that his
reading has ever extended beyond political
speeches and the twaddle of the party papers.
The rich fields Of literature are uneXplored by
him. The perpetual controversies Of the end
less caucusing in which lie is continually invol.
we'd, give no opportunity for the cultivation of
his mind and the detective education of his
youth has not been compensated by the greater
hunger for general information of his manhood.
He does not appear ever TO have looked upon the
face of nature with the eye of lover. A land
scape to him represents the voters who live in |
it. \ river is for steamboats, to run on, TO ena-
bic him to meet appointments on the stump. A
meadow suggests the article of baled hay, and
Il field of corn orrye means possibility of an
celebrating beverage, There Is nothing in |
all he ever said to indicate that he ever saw
rock, or tree, or river, bee or bird, blossom, |
cloud, or storm, or sun, or moon, or stars. SO |
the formidable machinery of his intellect grinds |
over, again. and again, the old grst of scra ps-
the WRITINGS of Congressional combats-and /
We have the same old dose of dust the result. |

this time. DEANS eloquence IS match
less. There is nothing like it in the
whole range Of oratory, or billingsgate.

have no one who can stand before him.
Not one, unless he has worked in tan
