Haytien Emigration. The speaker said he felt
emotions which he bad never before experienced
in Standing before an audience. During a resi-
dence Of fourteen years In the northern States and
In Canada, he had always desired 70 visit his
brethren Of w Washington But he had not attempt
ed IL because his color was unconstitutional and
the teGtsre OF his haif contrary te the statute 10
such cases made and provided But a change
has taken place. The spell Of slavery Ia broken. !.
The reign OF free speech IL inaugurated In the
Capital Of the Republic, and be now stood there
man among men. We sre In the midst Of stir
ring times; OF revolution aud Of reform Progress
sEd reform Is the watchword Of the age. The
American eagle no longer hovers about this Cap
i;Al, and dashes about the District with bloody
taons, anxious 10 feast upon the miseries, groans
and very heart blood Of fathers and mothers and
children. But the broad wings Of the American
eagle are this night Oustretched In deliverance Of
men ne longer chattelized. Aye, this very dav
the American eagle, which has hitherto feasted
upon your blood aud NV blood, paused In his
rapid fight 70 welcome Hayti and Liberia among
the sisterhood Of nations. tApplause
The speaker thought Ii singularly fortuitous
ClrcuTnstancs that the occasion Of his first visit
to Warrington, Hayu and Liberia should be
welcomed into the family OF nations. IApplause /
This was the thinking and investigating era,
and II the eolored people would rise they must
work and act. Tne colored race mus. not be sat.
isfed with the schemes politicians may devise,
but must think for themselves. The apeaker
proposed 70 view some OF the policies prop Jsed
FOR the blacks, aud then to advocate what he con-
s.dersd the best Baytien emigration does not
contem plate expatriation. The colored man had
as much right to remain here az Lincoln, Cox,
Vallandlgham, Cr!tenden, or any one elsa IAp-
pIause Tie speaker was not here to Insist upon
colonlIation TO any place. But too many have
imbIoed pfej1diceI, and must disabuse their
the blacks were advocated. aud among them he
wluld notice what he called walt for ths waC on
policy, or the Micawber or staad-still policy God
has no more sympathy for a lazy negro than for a
law white man. But some Of our fdends tell us
10 stand s:ll and see wnet God viii do fsr Ne; and
the idea has gone abroad that there Il IA ?, '-.r-
ship between q od and the abclironis.s aGI q; X
this Arm was working for lI- salvas,sH Ji the
negro. The speaker dsspised the ms4.s and .4zv
policy which adgiSed a ''stand stil5' wlsn the
whole world was moving Tue p:-va.sHi Idea
system Of equality established, was Pronunced
tlll4ciouI.
Tne speaker did not believe, and no intelligent
white man believed, In the equality Of the races
The speaker end Rsdpath had been denounced
Lseanss they would not say the whites and blac ks
we're socially equal. Liberty and equality are
different things. No one believes In 1t, except
those who fold their arms and say,
In Dixie's land we'll take our stand,
And live aud die In Dixieis land"
No one present really believes I'm equality, or that
believe Il. The republicans were az much op-
posed TO social equality as were the democrats
The speaker had voted for Lincoln and believed
him good man but even Lincoln. In mis- con-
test with stephen Arnold Douglas-that evil man
intellectually, and powerful man politically
had opposed equaliZation az sternly as ever did
the Hon. Mr. Cox-honorable by courtesy only,
for nature never gave him any claim. lApplause
The speaker next referred to the policy Of stay
ing and hghting Il out, OF which party he said
Or. Rock was the champion. Such course
would swallow up the African In the Anglo saxon
race. Then there was your Pfsy-it-ou; party,
who would be kicked and cuffed about and only
pray all the time. Power 10 the foundation Of
national respect, and the colore1 race must, by
their own eTertions, place themselves Ia q posi-
ro1 20 comm md the respect of all.
The speaker wanted the black race TO work to
estIolish a strong government on this continent
near to the United States, and not devote 90 much
atteution to conventions which only talked OF
equality. When the negro race became producers
as well as consumers, and establish com msrce
10 whtteu evefy sea, then the word negro will no
longer be q synonym f0r degradation and iguo-
rance, bat will giid With mpeEishable lustee the
worlds horizon. We must DO, said the speaker,
as white men doZreiy upon our ~ owa a. te.srtlOns,
to pirate OF e. ualiJy in this country II IL one
thing for Us to assert our equality and another
thing to make the white man acceP. IL. We do
not certainly d-monstrats that eq uaty by remain
ing hewers OF wood and drawers Of water.
Some negroes black the white mans boots 10
get moley enough To carry him to a convention
70 aSsert his equlity with the white. When
YOU are thus compelled to rsmlln In the Lowest
positions the speaker would not have you stay
IL In 10 such the emf grafton 20 HaYa holds out 4
arms. Ia thIs country the colored man can nsve,
rise; out he must go away and build up a colored
nationality. Haytians do not sympathiZe with
wholesale emigration. We want the farmers
and mechanics to CO ne and come willingly. Tue
majority Of the blacks will remain here, despit be
Blair, DooIittle, or any one else. The emigration
movement does not contemplate exPatriau0n, and
there IL no power TO drive rs out II Is not pos
sible for all TO go, II 10 desirable Those
who will cultivate the soil the society viii take
out; others may go on their own responsibility
Hiyti Is superior to Africa or any other place
proposed for colonization, because the govern.
Inent 10 90 years OF age, and has no white props,
but was established bS black men, and IL has been
recognized by every civilized nation, the United
States included. They have fought against Ma
pOIeon, and conquered, and have nIaintained their
n.tionsit " 20 the present hour Africa is too fsr
away. and as for Central Amesca, there was too
much Of an Indian and white element there, and
he did not believe in the country, notwithRand-
ing Mr.. Blair, who might be very good rsprb-
lican, out who speaks too eontemptuously OF fhe
negro.
The speaker stated that, when he wan boy,
that great and coed man, VIM Lloyd Garrison.
took MIN in bis arms, and urged him always to
speak and fgbt for his race. The speaker did
not say 20 to Haytl, but said eo1Is but he wanted
no msn there who was satisfied to remain here.
The speaker Would meet any enti-emig grationi Ia.
ia debate. Eut complaints should he Iefl to the
COIss, YallAnd CHAINS and Cri'tendens Of Con-
gress; eolOred msn should be better employed
The speaker said that when he was Ia the legtsla.
tive hall the other daF, he heard such pro-slavery
men as Crfttsnden and Cox call the en.igrants
mere colonies; aud the negroes who thds de-
company. When the bill for the recognition OF
HsYti was undsr discuszio Gooeh, OF k asssc u:
SETH, aad other friends Of the negro, stood up
boldly. Cox and Crittenden were terribly afraid
OF black minister Cox introduced an amend :
meat, that tas representatives. should not be
CalIed ministers, but simply cocsrls He tCoxl
did not want nlgge. representative. But there
