The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1862-08-16

We published yesterday, side by side on the
arie page, two spssshes delivered at Washing
gva, presenting very remarkable contrast:
one Of them constitutional, statesmanli<e and
yecia, tire speech Of the chief magistrate of
~ re4aib;ic TIC otter violent. seditious and
ny tic speech OF the late American Minister
\. ltnss;a One speech was calculated 70 do
sod, the other infinite mischief. The speech
u the President TO the deputation Of colored
nea ut the White House was sagacious and
wise. II proclaimed great trnth-that the
Inference between the black and white races in
he United States is 30 broad that II is impossi-
lie the inferior race can ever possess political
,quality with the superior and dominant race.
The two races cannot exist in freedom together;
or even at the North, where no legal servitude
Exists the black man is practically and sub
stantially as much slave as he Is at the
south. Hence the President says
When you cease 10 slaves you are yet far removed
"a being plrei ON an eaaalisy with the white race
f1u cii fror Many pf thr advantages which tho
fl,er enjoy. The aspiration OF mon Ia u ensy

releasing him from tie restraints Of legal ser
vitrde. Hence, too, the President does not see
how tae negro is 10 be bct,ercd by emanci
pating him by proclamation and leaving him to
silfl sor himself among superior race.
How different are tie language and spirit Of
Gass;,ts y. Clay. THIS man, born in TIE same
ate with Mr. Lincoln, takes an entirely
different view. He Is impractical and visionary
like al TIE aholitiou;st=. He does not believe

Otherwise ,hey stllitiiicd themselves It was
purely 4 white mas government that was
'ocna"I BY Washington, jefferson and their
companiots. MIR. Clay alludes to the case Of
the Car freeing twenty millions Of ser.s. But
the z. are OF the Same race as the Gar himself
and the highest mobiles IN The land. There is no
parity of reasoning, therefore, in the case. The
clnancirated Russian seiis are susceptible Of
the highest freedom and civilization. Not so
the American negroes. Again: Abraham Lin
coin is no: despot. that lie can do as he pieases,
il defiance OF Che viii Of the American people,
even if he believed in the policy of uni versal
emancipation. What then must we think Of
Mr. Gays patriotism! when he is capable Of
ustc-iug such language as the following
