kncel down and say, Let US fast, and call Oh

pray, and it is cOmHlendabe in you; but thi:
alone will not suffice, your duty to the people
must be discharged. Arise from your knees

Truth.-"SG. syls9 would your white popuia-
tiOu be Without schools aud sach necessary
facilities for qualifying themselves! Have moi
one portion OF the people The same right to
these advantages as apotherl What would
your presegI generation oI WLilp youth be
without your system vi Common Schools
Now if white children have right TO free
schools, have not cUlUred ones the same? 1t
is not question OF any Importance which
race is superior in ntelIccI, the questions ale.
Have your cQlorel population g, 1ltqra right
to freedom, uAd eau they be by proper cult
vatiou qualified for the common duties Of free
citizens; if 50, theu give them lib rty and the
necessary advantages. In the slave States
thousands Of noole, brilliant utellects are
crushed and smothered by oppression, while
the very men who have the privilege OF thus
degrading them may be too ignorant to read
or write their own names, or give any expla-
nation of the commonest things in morals, re.
ligion or science d.. .-..,I
And yet the United States calls its Govern.
ment Republican, and its country land OF
liberty! tell you, this is disgrace to the
very name of RepuUlicanism! What course
did Russia pursue with her ignorant serfs?-
She gave them Liberty aud free schools and
thus is elevating them TO u ievcl with Der best
eitizensl Has the United States less wisdom
than Russia? Has she less philanthropy
Has she less means? Is not the world prais-
ing and honoring Russia TO-DAY fer ler eourses
Will not that nation be all the riglieE and
stronger, every way considered, in y few years
hence, for this uct?' Those serfs and their de.
scendns will lie proud to lay down their ives for
the csruse Of Russia? And would not the same
be equally true Of the United States? W6dF
has slavary done but array in hostility one
section Qfthe pniQn against another, ard make
every good nation on the earth love your coun-
try less? What is there in that beautiful
Southern elimeto inspire American aisaIlEen
with mutual hate, bnt the dec,lrsctl element Of
slavery? Rema,e fhat dis, 2l1iHe element, and
the great American heart is oNE!' .r I
know it is said your free negrIes viii over
run the land, AND pc in the way Of the whites. /
Waving the question Of their equal right TO
go where they please, iihis ,onipion is not ne
cessarily CORRECT. WIN 'fHBR ils goits Of the
Southern Sla}Gs neea caltivatroh after enian
cipation as well as now? And who can Guilt
v,ltc il better than the colured race that has
always done il? Let them be hired as other
men are h'r d. nEd .Juu VIZ see no great dis47F

they may enjoy all the privileges afforded TO
any State, and thus Rliih HP and strengthen

It and threatening its pllibatc destruction, as
their condition now docs. Then will harmony
prevail in the midst of your people, and Amer
