BRETHEREN You will find the word,
Of my tex in the llth chap. Of DANIEL
and Oath varse
ole shall enter peaceably even upon the fa.
test places OF the provinces, and shall do thai
which his fathers have not done nor his fathers
| fathers lie shall scatter among them the prey
and SPOIL and riches. Yea, and he shall forecast
his devices AGAINST the strong-holds even for n
time" ... ".
Bretheren, you know that your minis.
ter has never failed to prove that the
great Rapublican party is the only
scrptcral party. Ii any man thinks he
can show that have failed, let him make
the endoever. The individual spoken Of
in the tex, was TO come peaceably to pow
CT; and you know my breetheren that
father A braham done this; and don't you
see that he is tearing up the poor devils,
and making thousands of us rich-ah! My
breetherin, whar is the man that ever done
this before ali? lie is no whar, And its
sccordin to soripter, my broetherin, for the
tex says: 'And he shall do that which
his fathers have OF done, nor his fathers
fathers. Now, my breetheiin, what good
thing has our father done for lis that his
fathers didn't do? Why, lots of them.
Our father went to the City Of Washing
tod disguised in Scotch plaid; and, my
breethelin, whar is the man that ever
done this before? Why, he is no whar-ah.
And, my breethcring, our father arrested
white men, and locked them up in 6astile
dungeons, to rot, without any charge
against them, and whar is the man that
ever done this before ah! Why, no whar.
And, my breetherin, the best of it is that
our father has said, and still SAYS, and al
ways will say-what, my breethering?--
Why, that birds and animals are seen at
a disadvantage through fog ah! And
whar is the man that ever said that before!
And, my breethering, our father done lots
OF other good things-ah. He suspended
the writ of habeas corpus-set aside the
| Coustiiution-made q law Of his own to
free the niggers--rides in a carriage guar.
ded by soldiers-admts nigger guests tC
the White House--sends ministers to
Hayti and Liberia-buys all the niggers
In the District of Colum bia-muzzle the
Press-puts down Free Speech--and
now, ,0omy breetheren, whar can you find q
man that ever done these things before all
Why, no whar. Now, breetherin, you
can see very clearly, that our father done
that which his fathers has not done, nor
his fathers fathers.
And, my breethelen, you know our ia
ther has done more for the noble African
than any man on earth-ah. He is now
! r. olatl,i,,r, tlN7So, 1p of thny,,
and he has raised them from nigger to free
Americans of African descent.ah
My breetheren, as | come along the
other day, fell in company with strange
man ali. And l begin to tell him of the
mighty works Of my father Abraham ah
Says he, | never knew much about your
| father, but have often heard about your
grand father and of the mischief he has
done to the country. Sir, says |, my
grandfather never done any harm to this
country, for he was never here in his HE
ah. Not so, says the man, for he has
made this country his place of abode cv-
er since the birth of Abolitiohism, and he
is doing more to-day than he evosa one
since Adam was a yearling. All, says |,
W tIc ilul, piilSS. NOh NM" oO iiuSH
about my grandfather, tell me what his
name is-ah? And my bretheren, what
do you think he said Why, no said
his name was. the DEVlL-ah; and, my
brethering, what doyou hink your min
lister done under tho sarkumnstances?--
Why, I'll tellyor what l done my bree.
therein; he prayed for sustaining grace,
and gospel light and liberty and that his
latter eend might he his best and hollest
eend. Brudder Snow, please start de
singin:
Come holy brcetheren sing the song
OF Abe and all his woody thrOng:
Sing how they love the negro race,
And how they hate white mans face.
Wei owe our father best OF all;
For he is great with with wedge and maul)
And he is good good in a horn
As any white man ever born
We must remember William West,
OF all our friends we think him best.
For though he's lon, aud very slim,
We wish that we had more like him.
He trembles for his country dear,
And, breetheren, we should shiver here.
Let us all arise and shake,
And this we'll do for Sambo's sake
