Justice to wronged and oppressed
race demands that this corrupt and cor.
rupting doctrine, that color is prcsump-
tive evidence of slavery in the capital Of
the Republic, shall be condemned, dis
owned, repudiated by the Government
Of the United States. For two genera
tons it has pressed with mercilsss force
upon race who mingled their blood
with the blood Of our fathers on the
stricken fields Of the war Of indcpcn-
dence. In those days Of trial, black
men, animated BY the same mighty i'm
pulse, fought side by side with our
fathers to win for America a place
among the nations. They rallied at the
tap Of the drum on the morning Of the
l9,h Of April, 1875, to meet the shock
Of the first battle of the Revolution.
They poured their unerring shots into
the bosom Of the veteran troops of Eng
land as they moved up the slopes OF
Bunker Hill. They met, and three
tines, By their steady .,valor repnlsed,
the charges Of British veterans on the
battle field of Rhode Island, which La
Fayette pronounced ssthc best fought

and fell By the side Of I.eiyard, at
Fort Griswola. They shared in the
glorious defense and victory Of Red
Bank, which will live in onr history as
long as the Delaware shall flow by the
spot made immortal by their valor.-
They endured with our fathers, uncom-
plainingly, the tolls and privations Of
the battle fields and biyouacks Of the
seven years campaigns Of the Revolu-
ton, from Lexington TO Yorktown, to
found in America Government which
should recognize the rights Of human
nature. For more than sixty years,
unmindful If their rights and migrate
fal for their services in on, hour Of
weakness, we have recognized i'll the
capital Of the nation the wicked and in
sulting dogma which writes .slave' on
the brow Of all who inherit their blood.
Let us of this age hasten to atone for
this great wrong, by erasing that word
from the brow Of that prescribed race
here, and making manhood, here at
least, forever hereafter presumptive

If the former plan was an expert
mcnt, the one instituted by this order
cannot be said to be anything better.
The old plan, i'll the estimation Of many,

sense, have to do with the negroes. The
old plan paid, clothed and subsisted all
alike, on the principle that all alike
must be taken care Of, because many,
perhaps majority, under the circum-
stances, could not take care Of them
selves, nor can they now. The new
plan virtually withdraws this hand Of
universal support, requires that the ne
grocs shall look ont for themselves, pro-
vides that skill and industry shall be
the standard Of compensation, makes it
optional with the department to employ
as many negroes as they choose or none

Senator wilson's speech.

While the subject Of the abolition Of
slavery in tie District Of Columbia was
under discussion in the Senate, Senator
Wilson made very able speech Of
which the following is an extract:
Clothed, Mr.. President, with the au-
thority OF legislation by the national
Government, the corporation Of Wash
irr,on, not content with this monstrous
legal presumption that color is evidence
of slavery, enacted ON the 3lst of May
1927, that
every negro and mulatto found re
siding in the city OF Washington, who
shall not be able to establish his or her
title of freedt TN, shall be committed to
the Jail ofthe county Of Washington as
abscontling slaves"
In what age Of the world, in what
land under the whole heavens, can you
find any enactment ofeqnal atrocity to
this iniqnltous and profligate statute
This illegal presumption that color i,
evidence that man, made in the image
Of God. is an "abscondlng slavc?'
This monstrous doctrine, abhorent to
every manly impulse Of the heart, to
every Christian sentiment Of the soul, to
every deduction Of human reason, which
the refined, humane, and Christian
people Of America have upheld for two
generations, which the corporation Of
Washington enactedinto an imperative
ordinance has borneit legitimate fruits
of injustice and inhumanity, Of dishono'
and shame. Crimes against man, in the
name of this abhorred doctrine, have
been annually pcrpetrated in this nation
al capital which should make the people
Of America hang their heads in shame
before the nations, and in abasemen,
before that Being who keeps watch and
ward over the humblest Of the children
of men. Men and women of African
descent no matter in what State the,
were born, no matter what rights ane
privileges they possessed under the law
and institutions Of the States from
whence tl:ey came, have annually bee,
seized, imprisoned, fined, and sometimes
sold into perpetual scrvitude.
This doctrine, that color Is presump
tive evidence Of slavery-this ordinance
consigning its victims to imprisonment
offers tempting bribe to the base, tn,
selfish, the unprincipled, to become
men-stealers and kidnappers. Thi
bribe has converted Government official
justices Of the peace, constablcs, All,
police officers into manufacturers O
slaves. This bribe has annually file,

who are now striking at the life Of the
nation, to return to their possessions
under the fold Of rebel flag, re-assert-
ing their ownership over their deserted
slaves? If he desires the armies Of tho
Republic to push forward until tho
laws of the Union shall be acknowledg-
ed, under the protecting folds Of the
Stars and Stripes, to its utmost limits,
what does he propose to do with these
destitute people? Does he propose to
support them directly from the national
Treasury? Would this be more wise
than to permit benevolence to provide
for their temporary wants, and to per-
nit the labor Of their own hands to
supply their necessities for the future?
Ido not deem it proper on this oc-
casion to enter into labored investiga-
ton Of the probabilities Of amalgimation
Of the white with the negro race If tie
negroes should all be set free. How 10
it in point OF fact? Do you find white
gentleman and white ladies marrying
the free negroes that are now<in this
District? Do you find them marrying
the negroes that ale now free in Mary
land, and Understand the Senator says
there are over eighty thousand of them
in that State? Do Senators find that
the amalgamation Of the white and tho
negro race is in progress in the States
they represent? And if SO, does it pro-
gress more rapidly in the free than in
the slave States? And in the Slave
States does it progress more rapidly
among the free negroes than among the
slaves. / know Of but three cases in
my own State, and all three of these
men married TO wenchcs have been res
idents of slave States, where, doubt
not they acquired their tastes. Laugh
ter J.iberating the negroes carries
with it no obligation to marry their
wenches to white mon. Gentlemen
may follow their tastes afterwards az
now.

And hitched their chairs up higher.
